    The Pump

    I have recently started getting this after my 2nd or 3rd set of squats. My question is, is this normal, or could it be a problem with my form? I'll post a vid a bit later to get some advice on my squat form, but is getting a pump in the lower back after squats out of the ordinary? For me...

    High intensity training over str, for muscle gains.

    Nice article, well written. Basically he is just saying that one way is more effective when the goal is muscle size, not that training for strength is not effective at all, just not as much. I still think there is plenty of value to writing down your session lifts, if only to remember what body...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Its ok, I laughed too. But I finished that set. So all in all it was character building. I train in my garage Harry, was just concentrating on going straight up and not too far out in front of myself. First time I have given myself an uppercut like that...

    Saw someone smash the bar into their chin doing their second set of standing OHP. When the pain hit I realised it was me. Note to self: You never go full retard.

    how has lifting effected your life?

    Yes getting a lot of good comments from friends and family. Feel fitter and obviously stronger and more comfortable with my habits in general. Also being judged a lot by lazy colleagues who always question why I'm eating what I am, why I don't drink like they do etc etc

    [Movie] Movie Review Thread

    Yeah I think the last book they will be splitting into two films. The books are great, but the first movie was garbage because the acting was so bad and the cgi stuff looked pretty low budget. Hopefully they get a bigger budget for the remaining films.

    Science Explains How to Hack Your Diet and Lose Weight

    Haha this is exactly why I cant get all my eating done in 2 or 3 meals, as much as I would like to. Stomach just cant handle that much in one sitting. So I get all brotard and spread my cals out over about 5/6 meals.

    Science Explains How to Hack Your Diet and Lose Weight

    Tried fasting till lunchtime recently but found I wasn't able to concentrate as well as I would after eating breakfast. I hate having to eat breakfast but I know I'll function better if I do.

    My muscle groups for the week

    If you have a look at your Chest day, there are at least 5 exercises that are smashing your tris. Also, you are doing 4 different types of curls for your biceps (quite a small muscle group), compared to 2 exercises for your quads. I just dont think the exercise mix is right. But as Hammer...

    New guy getting calories correct

    Appreciate your advice, found a upper / lower split by Lyle McDonald which has given me some good ideas. OP - I did the beginner program Max suggests for at least 6 months and got great gains in strength and muscle. Its really simple and allows you to focus on compound movements, getting...

    Wrist Wrapping for Bench

    Got wraps on the weekend. Felt quite weird for my first session using them, but my wrists had no discomfort/pain at all after each set. Looking forward to when it feels normal using them.
