I did have a wardrobe malfunction during an ass to ground movement lastnight...I'd like to think the sheer awesomeness of my hams and glutes cannot be contained by mere shorts. The reality is closer to...squatting in 10 year old board shorts is not a good idea.

If the only thing on your mind is "gotta lose some fat" you will fail.

Change that mindset to "gotta do some squats" and you will always succeed.

lol cheers guys

yeah mid 70s is prob a good weight just gotta lose some fat, clean up diet a bit (and really need to stop my drinking on the weekends..)

and yeah the 90 was a max set not for reps unfortunately, i'll get there though!

Birds squats, squats so much he rips shorts

wouldnt even worry about weight as a figure. clothes size and mirror is a better guage.

you know what you have to do then.

This...

Weight figure...as far as aesthetic goals go...is only really useful for monitoring diet once you've reached your goals and are very familiar with your normal weight fluctuations. Other than that, an honest look in the mirror is the best tool.

Is it weird that you'd rather work out/train rather than going out on the piss?

Nope, both are addictive and both will get you ladies...but only one will guarantee she'll be good looking the next morning

yep, as long as your strength is increasing and weight is staying same/decreasing youre doing something right.

For those that take pre-workouts, have you found that you are more susceptible to muscular injuries or even twinges, particularly when making quick movements ie sudden changes of direction or sprinting etc??

[jangles]

no. but i dont use a pre-workout for running either.

one of the dangers of them, body not quite knowing its limits

I only have been training for a bit but I just love it, doesn't matter how tired I get, how my body doesn't want to move/punch/kick but damn it's so hard to explain.

Not preworkouts fault. It's called getting old. Even young people get hurt when making sudden changes or direction when moving fast. The older you get , the more the joints and ligaments complain about it.

If you get a twinge or an injury just drink beer afterwards, although I heard that breakthroughs in research have found that squats are the best cure.

Your body doesn't want to punch or kick or move?

Show it who's boss.... and squat.......

...........like a boss.

[Birds]

I honestly believe that deadlifts have more healing powers than squats.

I should of put more clearly after a few sessions on the thai pads and leg kicks i'm exhausted and my body doesn't want to move my mind still wants to keep going.

From personal experience, I strongly disagree

Omg you disagree with Birds?

I'm not sure about that lol yes definitely getting old and that doesnt help, but have taken pre-workout 4 times when playing cricket and 3 times resulted in strained hamstring, all when really making quick movements. Have played since I was 10 and has never happened any other time, only when I took the pre-workout. So dont take it anymore for cricket.

Well, they are a pre workout after all.
