great marketing ploy tho....................

^ only for the people who know nothing...but I'm so tempted to write/stick a note on his ad(s) - please show me the evidence that you can achieve site-specific fat loss with exercise and diet changes?

[Birds]

You're not seeing the subjective definition...spot could refer to shedding fat on the spot at the gym. Also the possibility it refers to one big spot...*draws circle around person*

[Tangles]

a real BIG man was struggling at the gym today, could see his motivation wasnt there.

went up to him and simply said "think of your body as a toilet roll. work hard and you'll strip off a square each time. you might not see it, but in time the toilet roll becomes depleted; the layers removed." could see him go up a notch after that.

great session today

[darksky34]

well done sir! that's great to see.

I would have punched you in the face for calling me a poo wiping device.

Damn straight. I remember last summer rocking up to the gym when the aircon wasn't working and seeing that it was 36 degrees inside. Place was nearly deserted. f**k yeah nobody in my squat rack!

[NickR33]

last night was hot... no air con in our gym... leg night... 8 sets of squats, then a 20 rep set to finish... was pouring sweat and seeing stars... then followed up with 4 sets of good mornings... fun times

[Birds]

Haha my deadlifts come after my squats and after each set you generally find me on the ground in the fetal position.

How old are you Birds?

[TM7GTR]

Judging by his display pic, 7.

Ripptoe is boss for techniques. Look into wendlers 531 program for strength gains. It doesn't seem like much, but after 6 months and you're still gaining its rewarding.

If you look for 20kg gains in a month you'll probably end up at the same place, lifting same sort of weights with no progress.

Consistency is key imo.

[Birds]

Agree^

Seems to be that oh-so-human-nature trait of wanting everything as fast as possible and then getting it as slow as possible. If you're not using 1.25kg plates because you think it's a pointless increase, you crazy.

I give no f**ks what it looks like squatting with them on the ends of the bar...I've been making my steady increases of 2.5kg a week without dropping reps to accommodate the new weight. Come at me plateau!

[L33SH]

what's everyone's thoughts on Albuterex used with Alcar (Acetyl-L-carnitine)

I've gone up 3% in body fat, since August but still the same muscle mass and if anything have increased my workouts, diet is healthy etc

Feel like I need something exta but dont know what.

thanks

Lol i'm sorry but I can't watch a Kai Greene vid after the whole grapefruit thing. The guy is an odd fella.

Wendlers 5/3/1 program looks alright, pretty common sense based, and it's something I might look at doing down the track. No way am I going from starting strength to that though lol... Same lifts for low reps would drive me insane of boredom.
