I guess some of you are lucky. I've tried to hit me traps with barbell shrugs, but while it works good initially, the weight becomes ineffective very quickly and so I increase it only to find that my grip fails before my traps are done.

Colostrum perhaps? or has that "breakthrough" died by now

Yep, thats right. Over each 2 week "block" of reps (15s, 10s, 5s), you work your way up to your Max for that rep range. You dont start with your maxes. You dont have to do 2 sets, but some people like to. There are other threads on that. The standard way is just the one work set...

Ian, yeah I know what your saying. Why be a boring a$$ sitting at home, or at the pub sober, when you could be drinking it up having a good night, chatting up the ladies with that certain confidence that only alcohol can provide ;) Just dont go out so often. And I suggest when you do go out...

First day of a cycle, Lunges, 15s, misread and used double the weight on the dumbells. end result: hurled Really hot day, no air con, barbell hack squats, 15s, 2 sets. end result: hurled But afterwards I finished both workouts!

According to one quote in the article, taking 60,000 IU daily for a few weeks will be toxic. Looking in a local shop the max Vit A (not beta-carotene) supplement I saw had 2,500 IU. So unless your popping alot of pills and eating your polar beer liver, it would seem reaching toxicity levels isnt...

Do people do this, tucking their shoulders back? I have read it here and there but never really tried it much seriously, I'm wondering if its a good idea safety wise. I've had a few shoulder injuries and most recently a pec injury, so I've been questioning my form of late (cant bench now at all...

I believe Driver has egg albumen, milk protein isolate (which is mostly casein and some whey), as well as a straight caseinate. I'm an Aussie. Driver is not available here. I've tried two brands of straight casienates. The main problem with them is they dont mix properly on their own with...

Old and Grey, I saw an interesting program on the Atkins diet and others. (I think it was a BBC program, shown here in Australia on Quantum, on the ABC) In one study shown, they had two twins, made them eat the same calories etc, only one was Atkins style diet, the other more standard with...

How important is an insulin spike pre-workout? Post I always add a good 50g dextrose, but I'm unsure if pre I should be adding dextrose or some low-gi oats?

Taking it will be fine for an 18 year old. You typically start taking creatine with a loading phase where you take four serves spread out over a day, for 5-7 days. Then after that, you just need to take it once per day to maintain. The loading phase is to saturate the muscles with creatine as...

I've seen on the internet a few Digestive Aids that are suppose to help digestion of protein, carbs and fats etc, like this one: http://www.iwantmyvitamins.com/vitamins_viewItem.asp?idProduct=93 Would these sorts of products be of use to a healthy individual who is training, particularly when...

SLDL are great for your hamstrings and lower back. But you dont have any exercise to directly hit the quads. You need some form of squats. Only caution with doing both squats and SLDL is to be careful your not putting too much strain on your back.

A very simple, isolation exercise would be Reverse Flyes. Lie on a bench on your stomach. Then raise two dumbells outwards, like your side raises for your shoulders, only now its for your back. But most people advocate some kind of row for the back. It sounds to me like you need to work alot on...

An easy way to take some protein powder to work is just put the powder into an empty 600ml water bottle. You'll need a funnel to get it in without spillage. Then when its time to drink, just add water.

haha, no offence taken dkm1987. I'm an Aussie. "bugger all" basically means not much or very little.

Unless you actually like Cottage cheese, dont bother. Its tastes like crap in my opinion and you get bugger all protein from it anyway, unless you eat alot of it which you wont want to. Just eat some chicken, a can of tuna, or buy some caseinate. Add some flaxseed oil, the fat will slow down...

try some flaxseed oil
