    The client from hell

    Markos, Too funny! God, I haven't laughed that much in ages!! I wish I could train with you one day, it would kill me. All I do is resistance training and I'm an unfit 40 year old who couldn't jog 5km now without getting short of breath. I might need to add some cardio into my training...

    Need to get some protein powder- any ideas?

    Go on, I dare ya! ;) While you're there ask Markos which brand of protein powder he thinks is best and the relative merits of WPI vs WPC. And get some creatine while you're at it, he's a big fan... Only kidding. I'm with the others here, buy your WPC natural online. Here's some options...

    PTC, do I stay or do I go?

    Markos, Go for it, you only get one stab at life and need to make the most of every opportunity. You've got those garage memories, time for the next chapter in your life. Nick's a big boy, he'll keep lifting even if he doesn't do it in your garage any more. Things change, people adapt...

    Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

    Welcome Mick! We need more Michael's round here, not nearly enough... And another 40YO lifter will help balance out the board as well. You're a big unit aren't you, and some nice numbers there too. Cheers, Mike

    Powders What and How ?

    Kharn, Here's some good reading to get you started on this journey. You need to sort out some mindset issues first. Abs by Mark Rippetoe And again Six Pack without the Ice Chest [FONT=AGaramondPro-Regular] Cheers, Mike

    Popping the big Q

    Scott, If its any consolation, my wife and I were dating for 10 years before I proposed... We were living together for the last 5 of those too. But if I can make any suggestins it would be to do the whole down on your knee formal proposal thing around something romantic. She won't say no...

    Marathon not a sprint

    Gordon, Great to have you join us here at AusBB. I'm 40 and was a bit concerned I've left my powerlifting run a bit late, but you're testimony to that not being true. Inspirational lifting. Welcome, Mike

    9 months, limited gains... Eat more? Help appreciated.

    I'm sitting here eating my way through a 750g packet of almonds and into my third litre of milk for the day. I feel like I'm going to vomit, but for some reason I just can't stop! :D I don't know how you people drink 4ltr a day or more... Clearly I have been under-eating. Cheers, Mike

    9 months, limited gains... Eat more? Help appreciated.

    Thanks Markos, That's why I threw this thread out there. The title probably gave away the fact that I figured I wasn't eating enough. Consciously going to concerntrate on eating more. Its bloody hard to eat that volume of food. Today I've had: Breakfast: 4 eggs, 2 rashers bacon, two...

    9 months, limited gains... Eat more? Help appreciated.

    Markos, I get that mate! I just know exactly how much of the powders I've consumed so threw it up as a reference. I've eaten heaps of food, good clean real food over that period too, 6 meals a day, but can't give you a number readily, that's all. I'll eat more, got it. Cheers, Mike

    9 months, limited gains... Eat more? Help appreciated.

    Thanks Paullie, So what would that achieve? Just checking... Not sure whether the high rep stuff would help with the body size gains. I know bodybuilders work in that 8-10 rep range but the PPP is targeting strength gains so has less high rep stuff, maxing at 5 reps in the early weeks. I...

    9 months, limited gains... Eat more? Help appreciated.

    Markos (and others), Thanks. I've already downed 1.5ltr of milk today and will go load my shaker with another 500ml when I finish this post. In that same period I've consumed 10kg of WPC powder, I know because I just ordered another 20kg bag which will turn up in the next few days. I've...

    9 months, limited gains... Eat more? Help appreciated.

    Hi Guys, Almost didn't post this thread as its a bit disappointing to reflect on my gains from the last 9 months. But I need some guidance so thought I'd put it out there. Here's my first post in my log from January 2010: Bodyweight 77kg All 1rm not tested, but estimate at 110kg squat...

    How am i going?

    Go see a physio about it and ask for a squat form check while you're there. Good luck. Cheers, Mike

    Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

    Agreed. Yet another strong 75kg Brisbane lifter, I really am going to have to lift my game so to speak. Welcome Ben! Cheers, Mike

    I won't gain any muscle mass?

    I love that, can I use it? :D Meat and plants and nothing processed. If an omnivore in the wild wouldn't eat it, then you shouldn't. Permission to cook food first though... ;) All good Steak. Keep us posted. And we want 110% effort on every set too. Push hard, eat clean, HIIT once a...
