    Sharp Groin pain while squatting.

    To be honest its not really a groin issue, it still lingers but its manageable now. Its more like the very top of the quad muscle just before the hip bone

    BCAA's serving size?

    I tried about 10g worth of BCAA's this morning. it tasted like SHIT. I couldn't finish it it was that bad. i might buy some flavouring for it or something cause theres no way i can finish that

    BCAA's serving size?

    I've just purchased some BCAs but theres no recommended dosage anywhere. does this vary ? i'm only looking to use it before training while fasted so i don't really want to break it up during the day or anything.

Started an intermittent fasting/IIFYM diet about 4 days ago, i've already started losing weight and this seems...

    body-building versus strength training, differences in approach

    I incorperate both styles into my training program. Start off with my heavy lifts first, Squat and bench on mon-fri Deads and presses on wed. Then afterwards I will incorperate hypertrophy exercises into my program. I like bodyweight movements so there will always be some sort of bodyweight...

    First time cut. Organizing

    I'm almost all sorted for my first cut :) but i was wondering and didn't want to make a whole new thread, how should i train while cutting? i'm still going to be strength training, 2 primary lifts a day w/ assistance work, but should i be setting with extra volume? 5x5 or more? or should i stay...

    getting stronger but not bigger

    I don't know what your plan looks like but if you focus on strength building exercises FIRST in your program (bench, squat, deadlift) and do them heavy then move on to assistance or hypertrophy work with HYPERTROPHY intentions (slow controlled reps and lighter weight) along with solid nutrition...

    SamHeihei - 2012 Transformation !

    Okay, i'm finally starting to enter my cutting stage. I've put on a good 15kg since around the time of this competition, 20kg all up in my 10 month bulk. Peak weight 90.1kg, i'm currently sitting at around 87-88kg and i'm probably gonna lean down to around 80kg and see how things are at that...

    New Conditioning/Cardio Programme

    Well i might try this out, see how i'm progressing and if not then i'll start finding maintenances and recomposing etc. I'll still be probably just a little over maintenance while doing this

    New Conditioning/Cardio Programme

    Bit of both. I want to do some sort of activity that will help keep me in calorie deficit while cutting down, id rather have the extra food and work harder. And i've always wanted to do something like this. So i'm doing it for both really, but the whole motivation to start would be for the fat loss

    New Conditioning/Cardio Programme

    Yup i'll still be lifting 3x a week, although i'm sure i won't be going up in lifts and i thought this might be beneficial. I think i'd enjoy it, i have a good environment outside my house a wide open space, fairly easy access to some large tyres etc. and i'm really not a runner and you won't...

    New Conditioning/Cardio Programme

    I'm looking to start a full conditioning program and log mainly for weight loss. At the moment i'm getting equipment together, i've managed to find someone who's giving away truck tyres in the industrial area near my house, i've figured that if i can find a big enough tyre i can use it for...

    First time cut. Organizing

    Alright, well i've been training just under a year now. learnt ALOT in this time. I've gone from 5-6 balanced meals every 3 hrs, 'clean' eating etc to actually doing a little more in depth research and realizing that it can be all very simple. I've stuck to counting my cals and focusing on that...
