[shifty_uk]

Bargain? It use to be £11 or so. Including delivery, my order always came to under £15.

whey prices have increased - refer to supplement thread for more info.

If you are not subject to any sport dope testing then there is absolutely no need to spend the extra on the Elite range the normal MP Max range is exactly the same without the added cost of the per batch testing.

after your xtend has finished look into purple wraath, its also very good, i use both and alternate.

i just bought some fractional plates and more matting (really needed the matting) for my home gym, so next months, purchases will be weight lifting shoes, a foam roller and a decent set of insoles.

nice lat pulldown's, ive been meaning to incorporate them on back day, but i always run out of time. chest and arm day for me today, really need to get going.

150kg lat pull downs is great!

Purple Wrath, is it also sugar free like Xtend?
It's about the same price so I might give it a go after I run out of Xtend.

Which shoes are you going for? The Adidas adiStars?

Oh yes, just to let you know my shoes are very nice with deadlifts.

Thanks on the lat pulldowns, I'm so use to pull ups with the dipping belt but there's no place to do them at my current gym. I'm just happy they've a heay lat pull down. It goes all the way to 200kg, although I don't go very heavy on it because of my back still.

I'll be working it up along with everything else though, I want to hit that 200kg on it haha.

 

[Morba]

Don't go very heavy?! 150kg IS heavy!

 

[N19h7m4r3]

It's a strugle alright, altough it doesn't hurt my back. I just get a little niggle.

I managed one rep at 160kg although I got a little twitch in my back, also we have to remember pullies make lat pulldowns easier then pull ups would be at 160kg.

 

[Cristian]

considering it's more than 2xBW that IS indeed heavy.

 

[Morba]

I think you are under estimating how heavy that is fella, really underestimating it

 

[Skillmister]

The pulldown at my gym only goes to like 90 Not that i can manage all my sets at that weight anyway

I doubt I'm 70kg anymore. I've been getting awefully fat since I got injured hahaha.

Also I could be under estimating it, but I'd rather make it my bitch.

i dont know how much i can do on lat pulldowns its been a while, but 150kg is insane, lol. dont know if its sugar free or not, but its good stuff. probably the same shoes as you, just need to go easy, been spending lots over the past couple of weeks, need to put the credit card down.

going for a workout now, was too hot earlier, my garage doesn't have aircon lol. in future when i move house, im hoping to move my gym indoors, hat way i can work through the winter months (scotland gets insanely cold outside to be working with metal) and with the gym being inside, it should get a lot more use.

 

[Djdom56]

This is me right now:

Sorry bro

 

[^TANK^]

Don't go very heavy?! 150kg IS heavy!

No its not .

 

[icecold]

[^TANK^]

Yes try 400 kilos then we're talking . I wonder If I'll ever get the itch to lift again, probably not.
