Im trying to save a few £££'s by mixing my own pre- and post-workout supplements from whey, casein, flax, dextrose and maltodextrin. Ive decided upon a mix of whey and maltodextrin pre-workout, and whey, casein, flax and dextrose post-workout. Would this be ideal? Im getting dextrose and...

When I used to do a two-day split, my favourite was always a torso/limbs split. Day 1 Quads Hams Calves Bis Tris Day 2 Pecs Lats Delts Traps I know it doesnt answer your question, but after playing around a bit I found it worked best for me (although not as well as HST does now :D )

For my dropsets during 5s I use the weight from my second-to-last 15s workout for another 10 reps. This gives 15 in total (as suggested in the FAQ) and burns like hell, but Ive always got one more rep in the tank so my CNS is OK. I do one workset AM (no drops), and then one workset followed by...

Sadly, I fear not!!!

Stand outdoors in the wind when you let one go . Although I swear Ive done this and still smelt it!! 300g protein/day stinks no two ways about it!!

Would a pics forum be a good idea? Somewhere everyone can post up there progress visually. I think this would act as a great motivator to yourself after posting your own and to everyone else if some really good ones are posted. I know that since putting mine up my motivation has increased...

Who thinks a bit of gentle persuasion might encourage Blade to post up some pics? I think theres definitely a lot of support out there! If Boris can do it, so can you...Boris' Pics How 'bout it Blade?? :D :D

Thanks Bryan For the refeed days, which are mostly carbs, is a macronutrient breakdown of 25% protein, 65% carbs, 10% fat in the right ball park? The diet Ive come up with based on what Ive read tonight gives these ratios for the refeed, but i can adjust if i need to (240g protein, 640g...

Cheers mic! Edit: I take it form reading them that you only need go hypocaloric for the dieting days, not necessarily ketogenic (it said macronutrient breakdown will not affect leptin levels so choose them to suit). Thats a very good thing for me as I was considering a full CKD but was...

Does anyone have any information (or links to good sites) about how the whole refeed thing whilst dieting is supposed to work. What do i do between refeeds (how far below maintenance? what macronutrients?) How big should a refeed be (again, what macronutrients?) and for how long? How often do...

This must be the reason why all those bodybuilders in Venice beach are so big?!?

Can you get 'Lucozade' in Italy?? Its a glucose soft drink. I think its pretty much just pure glucose (from what I can tell from the label anyway). The original flavour is best IMO.

How about swimming for HIIT? The whole body nature of the exercise would allow you to work very hard, very briefly, but not excessively tire out any one muscle group in the way that sprinting would hamper your leg recovery? Has anyone tried this? Theres a pool at my gym so I could maybe be...

True, micmic. But at the top level, I think that myth of low weights/high reps precontest is dyng out (Ronnie and Dorian both train/ed as heavy as possible right up to the show). My thought was that if HIIT was so much better, then someone would have tried it and done well at their show, and...

My feel for HIIT is that although research says its good at sparing muscle, it must interfere with recovery somewhat. Ive never actually tried it, mainly because I cant see how sprinting several times wont affect my leg workout the next day, and like it was mentioned above, my main aim is...

The reason you would only lower the bar to the top of your head is because of the changing role of front and side delts through the range of motion. At the lower end of a full ROM (below the top of your head) the side delts contribute little to the lift, so the load is placed primarily on the...

I use Met-Rx meal replacements post workout (with a bottle of lucozade). Theyre the best tasting MRPs Ive come across so far...

Cos it tastes good?!?

This is my problem with getting a slight incline also. There are adjustable benches, but itd be a right pain in the @$$ to drag it over to the squat rack every workout for one set of bench - plus I dont think itd go down too well with everyone else in the gym when its busy. Im still making...

Im from Liverpool in the UK - anyone else from up north where the sun dont shine??
