Very nice lifts there, well done! :)

You found the flax then? Mix it in with yoghurts, works well. In your bedtime shake is a good one aswell, the fats will slow down the digestion even more ;)

Thanks big man! :D

Yeah found it in the whole foods as you described. Its a bit of a mission to get to that Tesco (Kensington) so not familiar with the layout. Was gonna add a couple of teaspoons in the morning but tbh wasn't thinking about evenings.

I need to sit down and re-plan my diet.

Nice one, cheers CW. :) I also see that they do Taurine tablets (500mg per tablet), would you recommend these over using the powder? Works out at £4.99 for 50 tablets.

If you work it out that's just 25g for £4.99.

Myprotein sell 100g for £2.49, it would cost you £20 for the same amount from H&B so that's quite a big difference!
 
Cheers CW. I just tried placing an order and it wouldn't take my credit card. :( Are there any good alternative sites that sell similar stuff? :)

www.bulkpowders.co.uk

I've never actually ordered anything off them but I'm thinking of getting some Cissus from there as it's superior to the MP stuff. If you use them let me know how you get on ;)

Thanks again. :) Just placed an order for 5kg Whey Protein (Unflavoured) and 100g Taurine. The postage is a little hefty, but they accept paypal which is a bonus. I'll post back here when it arrives and let you know how their service was. :)

I expected the postage to be expensive as the powders are cheap! How much was it btw?

I'm almost certain MP do paypal though as someone was asking the other day.

I used bulkpowders before I knew about myprotein. Their service was great but their whey didn't mix very well and I didn't like the taste.

Was it EURO or NZ? I've always bought EURO from MP and it's brilliant but last time I thought I'd try and be different, big mistake!

Tastes a little creamier but it just does not mix well at all. It has to be done with a blender otherwise there's big lumps. Crap stuff the NZ, not impressed with it at all :(

saw that some time ago, its a great vid for beginners (and some old timers!) to watch for decent chest tips :]

Good video for experienced lifters but beginners watch vids like that and read Flex magazine, etc and come up with workouts like:

Decline Bench 3x10
Inlcine Bench 3x10
Flat Bench 3x10
Decline Flyes 3x12
Flat Flyes 3x12
Inc Flyes 3x12
Cable Crossovers 3x10
Machine Press 3x10
DB Pullovers 3x12

then wonder why they aren't growing or getting stronger! :D
 
I don't know. It doesn't mention what it is on their site so it could've been either. It did taste a lot creamier and I did have to use a hand blender to get rid of all of the lumps so it could've been NZ.

Whole thing worked out £38.57, the postage was £11! :eek: Sucks to live in N.Ireland at times. But I think the postage worked out the same on MP.

Well done, great lifts.

How are you squats off the smithy?

No idea mate, gym hasn't got anything remotely like a power/squat rack :(

Training buddy lifted 150kg free bar in germany without spot so guessing 175kg with that added security.

/edit - should explain my buddy goes to germany every so often to visit his wife on a military base. He was in the air force for years but left 5-6 years ago.

Haven't seen too many running goals in here, so I thought I'd post mine!

My main goals at the moment are:

  • Sub 0:30:00 10KM race.
  • Sub 2:40:00 Marathon
  • TransAlpine Challenge
  • Marathon des Sables
:)
