Yeah I just tried it on my hands alone and it was a bit difficult. I guess it resembles a weighted plank a bit. I'll have to try these at somepoint.
 
Chocolate smooth flavour impact whey

Just received my order of the above from MyProtein.

Luckily, all the reports of it being extremely tasty are true, as I ordered ten lbs of it without trying a sample first! Seriously, it's bloody delicious!!

I know many of you are sceptical about powdered protein, but I tend to find it a struggle to eat enough chicken and eggs as I just don't like it in the quantities I supposedly need to eat it.
 
Complex to try tonight:

Deadlift
Romanian Deadlift
Bentover Row
Power Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat
Good Morning

Here's where we get nasty:

Perform 6 reps of each (48 total reps). It should take about 60 seconds. Rest 90 seconds, then perform 5 reps of each; rest 90 seconds, 4 reps of each; rest 90 seconds, 3 reps of each; rest 90 seconds, 2 reps of each; rest 90 seconds, and then do 1 rep of each.

The entire workout should take about 12 minutes, not counting the time you spend sobbing like a little girl in a frilly dress.

I'm scared.
 
Does anyone know where I can source Hellsmann Olive Oil from a UK Online supplier? I refuse to eat vegetable oil variants

Google is failing me, or perhaps I am failing Google.

Thanks.

Any ideas on good shoulder exercises for improving their stamina and endurance besides lower weight/higher reps?
Training for my Ironman and the swimming section is my least of improvements!

Powerclean/Hanging clean to Military/Push press.
Just superset some exercises too for example:
Upright Rows x 10 straight onto 10x Military Press. (You can even do supersets back to back if you want some real pain)

Try making up some supersets with other shoulder/trap exercises like shrugs, raises, rear flyes.

I'd recommend trying DB shoulder press with no back rest as it's very difficult to lock out and much much harder than with a back rest. Absolutley blasts the shoulders. You get a good core/postural workout too!

Yeah at the moment doing some HangClean to PushPress, some Arnolds and shoulder fly's. Will have to start trying super sets - trouble is I can't go too crazy as my body is not allowed that much recovery time :( kind of a catch 22 thing.

LOL! Served him right for rubbish form and weight and for dropping the weight. :p

Looked painful though :(


16st this evening, though this was after dinner... hmmm I was meant to be going back down! Bloody Christmas and skiing holidays and too much apfelstrudel! :p Well I needed the fuel to keep me warm you see, and and and........ :o :o
 
I can't wait to get back to the gym! I only had abour 53kg max at my folks place over the holidays and it was annoying trying to work in my tiny cramped room. I smashed a lot of my things by accident :/

Worse yet I'm back at my apartment, but the college and it's gym is closed due to all the snow and ice. I'm getting twitchy here!

I need my gym fix! I haven't had dom's since the holidays. It's like withdrawls. :(
