    Bodybuilding Virgin: If you knew then what you know now...

    Follow KISS principle. Keep It Simple Stupid! Apply it to your workouts and nutrition. There are no magic bullets. Saying that I wish I've discovered starting strength years ago. Once you get a solid base, you can specialise and work on the finer details. I've put few of my nerdy friends on it...

    mass gainer AIO or protein+carbs

    Switch to WPI, it's low lactose, then you can down more. Like people have said, eat more. I had a mate who said was a hard gainer. I put him on laksa diet, he put on weight real quick. Lots of calories in coconut milk... something like 4 x more than milk for the same volume.

    Best green tea brands

    Why not drink your EAAS separately from green tea? At least you can enjoy it a bit. Go to an asian store and they should have a selection of green teas from asia. Personally I prefer Sencha and Macha hot or cold, Oolong cold. Since I usually travel to Japan once or twice a year I stock up over...

    Pain in knees

    Most likely it's your form when you do it, my guess is that your knees go in instead of staying outside over your toes on the way up (and possibly down). Usually thanks to weak VM.

    Knee Wraps

    Few of the guys at my gym have them, and they are like pieces of cut up wet suit. Hard to get on and hard to get off. One of the guys has rehbands too and he prefers the rehbands. I had my pair of rehbands since 2006 and they are still going strong. The guys at my gym had TKs for few months and...

    Friend says protein combining gives steroid like effects

    You might not win any friends, but you might get some girls. Combine the salad with tofu for extra pheromone response, it will get them on the knees. Trust me... PS: this thread is full of stupid :eek:

    Pressure cookers...

    Anyone has one and uses it? I've just got mine (a combo of 4 and 8 litre) and and used it few times. Love it! The slower cooker now is going in the bin. The flavours and textures are so much better. Also the cheap cuts of beef are super tender! Not to mention it's supposed to retain a lot more...

    how to stop hating

    Why do you need her to be your friend anyway? Just ignore her as if she doesn't exist. I working in a company with 6000+ peole. It's impossible for me to be friends with everyone. Not even people in my team. Also I only ask people for coffee that I enjoy having a chat with. If she doesn't enjoy...

    Joint inflammation

    Interesting article. You should check for gout. Since on one hand it recommends sardines, but I guess if you have gout then you have to find alternatives. I've arthrites and I eat lots of them + fish oil.

    Joint inflammation

    I doubt it's sardines. They are very good source of Omega 3, they have equivalent of 10g of fish oil in 1 can. I eat it quiet often.

    Deadlift help

    I should have said my best ever PR before I broke a whole bunch of bones... My DL is 120kg for 5 reps at the moment. Anyway, I know how to get it back higher, just got to slightly alter my training. I wasn't looking for help. As for my post it was a suggestion for Oni to look into Deficit DL...

    Deadlift help

    My squat is 135kg for 5 reps right now and it's climbing up weekly (I had a 8month hiatus from lifting thanks to breaking few bones). My squats are deep, ass to the grass. Well below parallel, but my body mechanics don't lend themselves to deadlifts. Not to mention I've a fair bit of meniscus...

    Deadlift help

    I'm very weak when it comes off the floor. It's actually 15kg less than my squat which is kind of weird. I've been doing a fair bit of reading about it and as of this week I will start doing deficit deadlifts as well as snatch deadlifts.

    Squats / Deads after surgery

    I wouldn't do leg extensions, but that depends on where the tear was. Can you do body weight squats? If you can do them, they are much better than leg extensions.
