30/03/03: 67kgs/148lbs Well, my weight has been lower recently ever since I got sick, and then went abroad soon after. To be honest I haven't been eating as much as I used to (all that food was a bit much for me). So I'm just gonna eat properly (not over-do it) and see what progress I make...

:cool:

I kick ass Alright! I just did legs shock & it was an excellent workout. I managed all exercises with great form, and managed all the weights easily, so me legs've definitely improved in strength. I was most impressed by leg curls - I used to be shite at them but since I started training calves...

Care to explain what this is? :confused: Ditto :( ;)

Thank God that's all he screwed for me... :D

So.. I went down to my local supplier and looked through all the stuff he had, and eventually bought HDT 5+1 Whey (Dutch Chocolate). Not incredibly high protein content (21%), but the sugar is way lower (I was taking a weightgainer with 50% sugar or something) and it's a lot cheaper per serving...

The same reason why I didn't separate Italy & France :D I should've written "Northern America"

Just wondering where the people on this board are from.. ;)

Everybody has to start somewhere - and determination is the most important thing to have :thumb: Good luck :)

Ok, thanks guys :cool:

Let's say you have a good/normal ratio of muscle to fat. If you can't find an opportunity to eat, and you end up starving for a good period of time (eg you skip breakfast), your body needs to get energy from somewhere - so what will it break down first? Is it a simple matter of one first, then...

It's been a while... Well, it certainly has been a while since I last posted. Since then I got better, starting training and eating again but my diet got screwed up again as I went abroad with friends on a school trip. I ate a lot less than I normally do, but also found that my appetiite...

My feet are usually a bit narrower than shoulder width, and from all I've read & analyzed my form is good. This wasn't really my point - I do feel my lower back working in deadlifts (oh boy do I...), my point is most people say that deads are important for a big back, whereas I feel that by...

Recently I've been finding that I've been getting really sick of the foods I used to eat all the time. The two main ones are plain almonds and oatmeal. I used to eat these up happily all the time, but now it's as if my stomach won't even accept them - seriously, I find it really hard to consume...

ok, another question: I always feel 'satisfied' after doing my deadlifts, but I'm somewhat skeptical as to how much they can affect the back in general. Is it all about strength from the erector spinae (sp?), or do they directly hit the main back (cos it sure don't feel like it). Thanks :)

Is having a good immune system purely genetic, or is there stuff you can do to help it grow strong? I take a multi-vitamin/mineral everyday, and my diet is quite varied/balanced, but I don't seem to be very resillient to getting sick. :( Is there anything else that can be done? Cheers

Sick Again Yep.. after just a few weeks of coming out of a virus, I go and catch another one. I have much of the same symptoms as the time before, but at least this time I'm heling faster. I spent from about 5 to 9 this morning in bed, and I've made some progress. My appetite came back this...

On the same note, is it better to do them left-right, left-right for ten times, or could you just do ten on the right, then ten on the left?

Eat nuts - that way you get protein as a bonus :cool:

Good news & Bad news Today was Legs - Power. :thumbdwn: The bad news: I'm having problems with squats. I normally lift the bar up off the floor, chuck it over my head and squat. But today I absolutely didn't manage! I didn't even increase the weight! So anyway, I decided to use my bench as a...
