[Nee-san]

Yeah I have bought and used it, can see quite clear performance increases, just my personal observations from use.

markos' email in below link

It is a PDF file Markos emails to you.

His gym results speak for themselves, plus people on here have used it with good success.

It's not your normal bodybuilding.com 6 week transformation though.

However Markos would also be the first to tell you that the results obtained in his gym are not just from the right program and diet Sounds like PPP is similar to 5/3/1

I got the routine, started it on Sunday. Will see how I go over the 11 weeks.

Can somebody recommend a good supplier of semi commercial equipment? In Brisbane would be great, but at the moment the place that I am leaning towards is from Gym Direct in Sydney so anywhere that does a decent price

Looking at getting a full set of dumbbells and a power rack

I was trying to source some stuff from China through www.chinakettlebell.com but am getting inconsistent and very slow responses, and this is before I have handed any money over, so don't want to transfer cash and then wait 6 months to receive goods of questionable/unproven quality.

[Frosty]

sent you a PM

[PWND]

Cheers, will have a look and get in contact with them

Just so people know specifically what I am after and what price I am looking to beat, these are the two items I am looking at ordering from Gym Direct:

Effort is a big contributor to everything.

It's similar in that they are both a progressive training program, which imo, everyone should do.

So i have had a bet with my mates in the last 4 months, who could get the best abs.

So joined a gym in the last 3 months, was pretty much a 2 month bulk to a 2 month cut

I started at about 73kg, went up to 77kg when bulking and now down to 71.5 kg on a cut

$400 pot with the deadline this Saturday

Progress so far: nohomo

Before:

After:

also look into getting rid of the water prior to Saturday so you can go in dry and looking even leaner.... just to try and win is all

Cheers mate

Think im a bit late for a tan lol unless its a fake one

I read alot about water loading and deloading, carbs loading and what not

Then I watched Layne Nortons video blog on it then decided not to do it

You can cut water because you aren't lean if it's just mucking around for a bet.

Layne's point is If you have to cut water for a comp, you just aren't lean enough.

So i just continue as I am and cut water say 4p.m Friday. The 'show' will be 9a.m Saturday

Should I load up on water today and Thurday then?

[L33SH]

What do the abs look like front on? And how are your mates going, have you seen their progress?

I'd be drinking alot of water today and a bit tomorrow.

depends how serious you are about winning

I lost plenty of water weight prior to some mma bouts, but its not as simple as just not drinking - again depending on how serious you are and how much you want to loose.

start loading up on salt with your meals, then 24 hours prior to cut salt completely.

at a minimum id cut water 24 hours prior to the end of the comp and get nice and sweaty. If you can do some cardio which will help get more out. Its old school, it sucks balls, you will hate life, but will work

[-FIGJAM-]

and when you pose, lean back slightly, it will help bring the abbs out a little more

2 other mates are going ok

1 other mate has lost about 15% of his body weight, and he was already pretty lean to begin with I haven't seen his abs yet though, but he is very competitive

Ill take a pic when I get home from work, don't think it will be as impressive lol

Cheers brah!

Ill give this a shot

I was going to do this. But after watching this video decided not to

But as Jangles said maybe I misinterpreted the video

Will do!

Tony I can't believe you didn't consult me for this!

Or at least committed to the ab coaster system...

Seriously though, pretty good effort there.

My advice: between now and your showing: eat only chicken breast and broccoli, three times a day. Continue your training, and train lots of volume (9-10 sets per exercise) with heavy weights. Literally bugger yourself so you're too tired to drive home. When you get home do some HIIT sprints.

I don't think it's worth stopping water for, and sometimes abs look fuller when you are hydrated IMO.

Oh and rememeber to stand under the light
