    Major Exercises & Commercial Gyms

    It's often difficult to get in the squat rack at my fitness first. Lots of squatting/deadlifting. You don't see much upper body barbell work (i.e. military presses etc), unless it's seated bb shoulder press. Lots of dipping. Not much farmer's walks these days. Rarely any trap or forearm...

    BCAA's

    I'm trying to limit my supplements. However, when I was last taking BCAAs (Purple Wraath by Controlled Labs), I noticed that I could train fasted (as my hunger disappeared). I tended to have a bit more energy in the gym (compared to when I hopped off it). It's probably useful if you are...

    What is the exercise you hate doing but do anyway?

    Such a terrible problem, great vascularity..

    chronic neck injury & gaining upper body strength

    Have you ever considered that something else is causing the headaches/migraines and that the pain in your neck is the headache/migraine (given that the base of the skull/top of the neck is connected to the eyes)? You haven't got anything to lose, so I would consider a few things: - having my...

    Experiences with too much tuna (mercury)?

    Same, in the afternoon. I was under the impression from USDA that for an average guy you wouldn't want more than about 2x 185g tins? (or maybe it was 90g tins). You can put in your weight and gender into the site. I guess we will find out soon enough if it's bad ;)

    The Walking Dead

    In between Walking Dead and 28 franchise zombies :P I've got the first ep.. just need a chance to watch it. Can't believe I read that someone didn't like Michaun.. it was her 'friend' that was the problem with her character.

    pea protein

    There's an article on the front page of bb.com about it at the moment. It doesn't keep me full, personally, but I've used it to gain about 9kg since I started on it early last year. I don't intend on stopping using it now. Go fot it ;)

    The Walking Dead

    ** possible various minor spoilers for various zombie shows ** Pumped for the new season. I agree - hopefully there will be a move away from the Governor. I'm sure he will still play a reasonably significant role. To be honest - it will be the lack of a certain other character that will...

    Etiquette between sets

    It seems odd that "bodybuilding training" requires rest periods of anything more than 2-3 minutes.. maybe this should have gone in a more general sub-forum. If you have the rack, you don't let it go until you're finished with it. Sure, if you are doing squats and someone wants to do pullups...

    Pea Protein Isolate - What am I missing?

    There are a few people on here who will no doubt chime in about the fact that it has a lower bioavailability (and probably mention its lower amino acid profile). As an avid PPI-consumer, my view is that if it is easier to digest than any other food, you are probably making use of as much of the...

    Do you guys stick to a meal plan or eat whenever/whatever you want?

    Eat the same each day (roughly), monitor the scales and how I look in the mirror. I slowly add things to my portions as my weight gain stalls, e.g. rice to my afternoon tin of tuna.

    Dumbell pullovers

    I do them along the bench so that I can actually get the weight up in the air.

    Best Mass-Builder For CHEST?

    When I was 16-22, I found it nasty on my shoulders and I've never gone back to it.. maybe if I had access to one of the old cybex ones it might have been different.

    Best Mass-Builder For CHEST?

    To be honest - it's probably been the introduction of dips.

    What's Your Pre-Workout Ritual?

    Often a shake before gym, but only if I need a quick pick me up, sometimes it might even just be a shot of honey or honey + spoon of peanut butter. I like to have typed into my iphone what I'm going to do. Otherwise, no ritual.

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    I really need to get my camera out, some things I saw over the weekend: - guy with all fours on kettle bells doing push ups - guy doing standing one arm cable rows holding a kettle bell on his other shoulder - guy coming to the gym to do some cleans, followed by 40 minutes of a move I'm told is...
