Dear god that picture has scarred me.


Anyone using the TPW protein, is it just me but one small scoop and VERY little water seems to be two mouthfuls and that's it.

>Uses very little water
>Is confused it doesn't magically turn into 17 pints when combined with protein

 

[cu3ed]

Like I said before ive only been using the stuff I had before, tho it had a high protein 32g in it, was a larger shake, more frothy/ thicker.

 

[icecold]

Heading to the gym with Nitefly later - heard he was going for a squat PB...

Mr icecold, do you:

a) wish to arrive early tomorrow and gym with us;
b) wish to arrive later and catan with us; or
c) wish to arrive much later than originally planned?

If that leg was Nitefly's spine it would be about right.

Errrrrrm... b)

Can't come early for a gym session because I'm coaching from around 2 for a couple of hours. I plan to come straight after that though.

Considering the occasion, there WILL be Dominoes.

Oh, and probably c) too

Join the club

 

[Syla5]

Ha no worries, I was going to tag you in on the chain I case ice didn't.

 

[King Damager]

Join the club

I think I'm being your substitute for the day

Although, I can imagine Ice's thoughts, 'wait this isn't a good substitute, I've just fixed someone's awful form, why has someone else come along with more awful form'

kd

 

[Delvis]

I'm pretty certain there will be someone else there with worse form, there always is.

 

[Deception]

I'm pretty certain there will be someone else there with worse form, there always is.

but, im not invited?

 

[Delvis]

Heh

There's normally some kind of bench / hip thrust hybrid going on.

 

[Apok]

Decided to get back into the swing of things with some bodyweight stuff before i start going to the gym soon since i can now afford it
un believable how sore my abs are from some simple ab rollouts and some myotatics, laughing is not fun anymore...
what makes it worse is a colleague has just revealed theyve been working alongside us the past week with glandular fever, hoping i havent caught anything.

 

[FeFiDoh]

Talk to me.

I need some dinner ideas something to spice it up and mix it up a little get a bit bored of rice/chicken/veg.

Also ideas for shakes as I can manage one quickly in work where I don't have much time to stop and eat, for weight gain this is.

Thanks <3

Well for starters either work with dumbells or barbells.

You don't need barbell bench press followed by barbell incline press followed by DB bench presses.

To put it nicely it's crap. Way too much overlap and too much isolation and you don't really want to be doing deads and squats on the same day if you really want to push on either of them.
