    Just started Bills Starrs 5x5, in 2nd week of 9 so will let you know how it goes. Its supposed to be for novice to intermediate lifters so the numbers ive plugged in based on the test lifts are a bit scary.. Bench finishes on 170kg for 5 which i cant see me making in 9 weeks without chemical...

    Short of an injury having 'weak points' is bobbins. The epiphany for any serious lifter/bodybuilder is that if you want a big chest/arms.. you train your legs. Why? Because your body wants you to keep in balance and will fight any efforts to the contrary. Its easy to see this in the little...

    Reloaded is having its usual effect on me, Hit 130kg for 5 reps on the bench on Friday and then a cheeky double at 140kg so will give 145kg/150kg a go this week for the first time in about a year.

    Funny that, ive not used supps for ages, but im starting them again today. Just took my first dose of BSD Reloaded, which is the only strength/pump/focus blends that has ever worked for me. The tingles from the Beta Alanine have kicked in though and they are driving me mad :D .. Looking...

    probably the amount, i use quite a bit so had a fair bit to dry out. It works fine, but i prefer the cloud a chalk you leave behind with the proper stuff :)

    Im not keen on liquid chalk, for a start it smells like pva glue and secondly i generally want more chalk on the bar than i do on my hands, especially when squatting and find it easier to use regular chalk. It used to annoy me waiting for it to dry on my hands as well. I just get 'grippy'...

    Dave Tate's posted on update on Facebook of EliteFTS's exercise index. Well worth a look, quite a contrast from the bobbins most people learn from Men's health and the 17 year old 'fitness pro' working in their local David Lloyd for 6 quid an hour :D http://train.elitefts.com/

    The guys with the best core strength in your gym are the ones with 1.5xBW+ on their back or ripping 2xBW off the floor, not the ones doing hundreds of reps of 'abs exercises' If you want a six pack, save your gym membership, you dont need to be strong, cut your calories and stay home and...

    The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom

    I loved Settlers 2 - It has to be the most relaxing game of all time, not just the pace of the game, but the music, the birds tweating, the sound of the waves when you went near the sea. Wonder if it would work on Windows 7 64bit

    Tbh mate id avoid shoulder pressing on a smith, im not keen on them full stop but shoulder pressing in particular id avoid as your shoulder is one of the grumpiest parts of you and when pressing you really need to be using your bodies natural path of travel rather than the one forced on you by...

    How much do you spend on fuel?

    3 tanks of V-Power a month at about £45 a pop so £130-140 a month to do the 30 mile round trip to work on mixed roads in a stock Focus ST plus any pleasure driving.
