    A good (cheap) meal plan more focused on toning?

    wow, there is a lot more helpful info here :) I thought i read that rolled oats (the type you get home brand at coles/woolies) were bad for you in the sense pancakes were (ie: just no nutrional value). If salada type crackers arent really good, is there perhaps a similar snack? I started...

    A good (cheap) meal plan more focused on toning?

    oh i didnt see that new link before, between that and some of the other advice, its making a bit more sense now. Just to be sure though, would (Home Brand, because of cost) food such as Cruskits, Saladas, Peanut Butter (on toast) be seen as "acceptable"? I think im just a little worried as i...

    A good (cheap) meal plan more focused on toning?

    oh damn, knew i forgot something to add: Height = 180cm Age = 25 Weight = 75kg Gender = Male Weight Training = i wont be doing any actual "weights", but i can do body weight exercises. Based on whats available, push ups would be the most likely. I'm also aware i need protein, but i believe from...

    A good (cheap) meal plan more focused on toning?

    I tried looking for a better thread to post this in, but none seemed really ideal for my question. To put it best, my main goals in how i eat will be cost (i will be living alone) and convenience (toasted cheese or ham sandwiches would be the type of cooking i'd enjoy, as its very easy). My...

    Muscle Motion Power rack

    now the website loads for me, how odd. anyway, it seems like its cheaper to get the bundle for $1450 that has the pulley than getting the items seperately. so even if its "useless", its still saving money. i doubt i would need the curl bar, but im not sure what extras are "worth it" from...

    Muscle Motion Power rack

    Muscle Motion Power Rack Package 2 - $1450 Yeah im so tempted to buy this power rack. Thats the cheapest i can find it though, gymdirect.com.au doesnt load for me. Is it a good purchase for someone who wants to get a lot stronger and more "ripped"? Can you do all the useful workout techniques...

    Are multi station home gym's worth the money?

    Muscle Motion Power Rack Package 2 - $1450 Thats the one im now thinking of getting. The only difference i know between the one thats $1095 and the $1450 one is a difference in weights (former is 80, latter is 145). It seems like it would do everything i want and be a great purchase, but i...

    Recommended Rest Day Activities?

    yeah thanks. So even i go from high cardio to weight lifting to high cardio to weight lifting, etc, i should just stick to my "post workout" routines and such (i drink a high protein shake)

    Recommended Rest Day Activities?

    Is there anything "stupid" about alternating weight training days and high cardio days? eg: the "odd" days of the month are where you lift weights, the "even" days of the month are when you go for runs or skipping or things like that? i've gotten a little belly from eating too many noodles...

    Are multi station home gym's worth the money?

    yeah thats all i should need to do now. find a good bench and power rack which is safe, has a good amount of weights included and is able to be upgraded (i mean its easy to buy extra plates). My knowledge of recommendable brands comes from nothing though. I might figure that samsung and sony...

    Beginners program

    sounds like it'd be a worthwhile investment then. The "best" option for working out alone, doing the lifts properly and gaining strength is what im after. sounds like this, i hope

    [MartialArts] Who here does martial arts?

    Yeah. i know its "wrong" to learn a martial arts that is basically based on taking down a group of people as fast as possible (as you can use it for "evil" means). but it really would be helpful. I've been in an assault from 12 people though and any martial arts that would help you "win" in that...

    Are multi station home gym's worth the money?

    I think im not doing some of the weights properly cos im rarely ever having rest days. im assuming my arms just aren't resting enough to not hurt when i lift weights the next day. I figure i don't need a machine (i looked up a bunch of internet sites and a lot said free weights are superior)...

    Beginners program

    Is there a good piece of equipment that can cover the 6 routines? I prefer to work out by myself at home, but something tells me that i can't do all of them alone (even with a power rack). All im doing at present is using dumbells (8kg, as i have a long way to go) and i would love to be able to...
