Trozzle Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 A carb is not a carb. A sugar drink is not the same as a bowl of oats. 1000 calories of big m is not the same as 1000 calories of steak. Your body utilises proteins different to sugars, and fats different to either also. I mean, that's pure basics. Why do you take a protein shake after a workout and not a tub of lard??? It's common sense, your body uses different macro's for different things. And fruit is not a ball of sugar. It's natural, comes from the ground, is full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre and is just down right good for you. A healthy body is a happy body, and a happy body is ALOT easier to work with. While you didn't directly say everything that comes from the ground is good for you, in certain situations in life - like when making a statement or declaration to police - this wording could be construed to mean exactly that.

Husky33 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 A statement to police, you've got to be joking. I was talking about fruit, you know, what you buy at a fruit shop. Seriously, if you guys wanted to act like retards, then you'll be treated like retards.

Coz of the current tone of this thread, I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not lol. I'll assume you're not, so yeah over the last couple of months I've focused much more on incline press than just flat bench. Likely culprit.

darksky34 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) yes, the usefulness of small weights are so underestimated - people always worry about how much weight it looks like they have on their bar (this is so stupid) but screw that, use those small weights to make your improvement each week! edit: HAHAHA nick i was typing that and as soon as i posted, yours appears before mine: point illustrated.

Birds Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Did you not used to have them? I doubt I could progress without them on bench! They were always there, but pretty much what Nick said. There's some psychological barrier about using them, like you're not making much difference by putting them on or it'll be a pointless increase. Only ever stepped up with 2.5kg or 5kg plates. But when you rationalise it, 1.25kg plates, even every 2 weeks is a good increase. You give it 2 months and that's a potential 10kg on your bench, just takes patience. I doubt that by adding 10kg straight up, you would accommodate the reps after 2 months (unless you're a noob still getting noob gains). Now I'd use 500gm plates if I had them! Nick start using them, they are a godsend.

WTF dude I can't say it's exactly 6 weeks. The first picture was taken well before the "cut" and switch to incline press, though I looked almost identical to it when I started the 6 week period regardless. The pictures were more to illustrate fat loss (which the first one doesn't show very well). More or less, yeah that change was 1.5 months though, give or take from inaccuracy of first picture. dat der celltech? NAH BRO IT WAS ALL THE ALBUTEREX. hahaha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/239/#findComment-6631584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
