I like the look of your diet, looks very well thought out and well balanced. Though it would kill me to throw 4 yolks away! Is that done just to keep the calories down?

I do think the 3g of leucine could be a bit of a waste though. I believe it's much more beneficial either just before a workout or during, I drink a mix of bcaa's and leucine while I train (yes I know bcaa's are 50% leucine, I just like to make them even more potent). Best performance supplement I've ever used

I like the diet to, its quite a nice diet to eat, yeh it is just to stop adding unnessesary calories because im trying to keep my BF down as i bulk.

I think it is a brilliant supp to, I have changed my training routine and its very very hard and im so physically drained after them, and i have been expecting to be really aching, but i only ache slightly after taking my PWO with the leucice added in.

The egg whites are very cheap, and it just makes things easier for me at 5 inthe morning, far more conviniant for me.

the rest of the time was spent recovering after the other end of the bar lifted off the floor and whacked me in the nutsack

Ouch mate! But ROFL!

I'll keep that exercise in mind for when I swap over in a couple of months time.

My balls don't seem too bad today but my middle back aches quite a lot which is a good sign that the rows worked yesterday. I copied the form from the link that Fusion gave me here but looking through some videos on youtube I saw that a lot of people stand almost upright. I don't know enough about them to tell which is the better way of doing them so if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. Also, should I use the Double D Handle or should I just grip the bar? Thanks

i use a handle, gives me an even grip

Reading this reminded me of this,

I really have doubts on that weight, if done correctly that is.
leg press is for people that cant squat.

Yes and no personally about me your right i dont squat i hate it, it doesnt feel comfortable for me

. But on the other hand i know plenty of people that do both so

Whats rubbish about it? what does leg press do that squatting doesn't? only squatting does more?

My hatred of the leg press stems from kids in the gym throwing all this weight on, lowering it an inch, like in the video, and then going home bragging.

Squatting takes a while to be able to do properly, bar resting on lower delts, some flexibility with getting your hands in tight, going past parallel etc, so people hate it, no problem with people that do the movement properly, but squatting isn't so hard to cheat at.

^TANK^ · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:45

Well i can asure you my knees touch my stomach when i do a full rep and i dont lower it an inch and considering the weight i use i need to strap my knees so no cheating from here

Heaven Can Wait · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:48

Fair enough.
There should probably be a lifting rant section, Bench pressing on a machine :mad:

^TANK^ · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:49

Bench pressing on a machine thats bad lol

Of course that depends how big your stomach is

^TANK^ · 27 Jan 2007 at 17:31

Not as big as yours

tbh the whole comment is rubbish. Your hatred comes from seeing people with bad form on the leg press, dont let that cloud the fact that it is still a great machine to use when used properly.

Heaven Can Wait · 27 Jan 2007 at 21:31

No its not.. why leg press when you can squat?

thats like saying 'why do incline bench when you can do flat'.
i take it all you ever do for quads is squat only.

Heaven Can Wait · 27 Jan 2007 at 23:32

No its not. not at all.
Squatting works the exact same muscles, only upper body as well.
Incline doesn't, works top of the chest mainly, I do high and wide after a flat session so incline isn't needed.
When i hit quads i squat and finish it off with some smaller exercises, but doing squats and leg press in the same session is stupid, same goes for swapping squatting for leg press.
