The only problem i see with that is that for most normal people a proper squat session would leave them unable to squat a mere 48hrs later, perhaps you should alter your volume to stress the legs more, i mean i could hit the gym every day and squat 110 for 3x10 each session but it wont get me anywhere. But if i hit the gym once and hit 140 for 4x10 ill grow. Do what works for you but if your not increasing your lifts avery week then your doing it wrong.

heres a good formula i use to make sure im developing an exercise.
start a 3 week cycle take your 12 rep max, say 100kg,
week 1
100kgx10x3
week2
100kgx11x3
week3
100kgx11x3
week1-2
105kgx10x3
week2-2
105kgx11x3
week3-2
105kgx12x3
week x
1rm test or 5rm test
repeat
This way you are always getting another rep or more weight every week but in a very slow and steady fashion that will seem easy

Bit of a random question for this thread but im doing a website for one of my uni modules and its got to contain at least 5 pages of content, I've decided I'm going to do it on power and strength training.
What sort of info would you want to see on a site? so far I've thought of main page, diet, exercises, supplements and steroids otc and others

Who is the best at Strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding, olympic lifting or who is current champ.
Compare poncy/harcore gyms, home gym, benifits, prices ect.

If you can email me (in trust) that would be awesome and much appreciated

actually yes, i think i a pretty dam fit person. so could probally give some good advise on getting fit.
can you run 3 miles in 21 mins? if yes, and faster nice one, how you do it, if no, then i can help you .
it been proven that bodybuilding ISNT the way to reduce fat, and seems lots of people here seem to think it is.
Body building only works the muscles under the skin/fat, and thus you can do crunches all day long and wont see any visable differance, best way to lose fat is though CV work, and the best exercise for losing fat is swimming, and i mean proper swimming not the stuff you see the fat birds do down the local
if you do CV then throw in muscle work you will lose fat, allthough on scales you wont see much differance muscle heavyer ect.
But if you do CV and muscle work within 2 months you can get some amazing results.
remember never to do muscle workouts ie wieghts the day after you did a hard session, sinse you wont gain anything only lose what you have gained in the previous day, tearing muscles first day then repair stronger the next
MATE YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT I READ THIS IN HOLLAND & BARRAT ON A FLYER!!!!!
Seriously, no.

Why has this thread gone so down hill? It used to be intelligent discussion and a place for people both new and experienced in weightlifting/bodybuilding/etc to share/learn/exchange information and now nearly an entire page of posts is just.. dribble. :/
I realise a lot of the stuff is tongue in cheek, but can't we just say "No, that won't help" rather than all the guff? Please?

I'm incline to agree and tempted to archive this thread and start a new one.

Mr Motivator? I saw him on tv the other day =/
What sites do you guys buy weights from? I'm still a beginner, so would it be better to just get 'cheap' ones from argos etc....
Cause I need a barbell, and excess weights really....and maybe some more dumbells, as im sick of changing the weights over all the time.

i use www.fitness-superstore.co.uk good prices mostly and good service although argos do a good 140kg marcy set
Probably about time.

I don't find too much wrong with the thread to be hoenst...It's not just full of constant stats filling...I can actually come here and ask a question without it being missed.
Granted the random banter can clog it, just keep low on it if we can I guess.
Thanks for the link Ultra, do you know what 140kg set it was in Argoose? As in filled DB's / black metal / chrome....I'm thinking of getting the plain metal ones soon, as the filled ones are way to clunky.
