    Barbel squats = painful

    Some mobility work, foam rolling and stretching should help. You could be tight in the chest, where your chest connects to your shoulder, triceps and biceps, that's what I find for myself personally. Get a massage ball into there and see if it helps. Are you doing high bar or low bar? I find...

    Mass gainers

    Probably not needed but I was just trying to make a point about eating enough. As youyr 16 it makes things more difficult depending on your financial position. As others have said mixing your own mass gainer is the way to go if you really want to take a protein supplement. Lots of good advice...

    Ribcage expansion

    From what ive read from Brooks D. Kubik the exhale is one of the most important parts for the breathing squats and the pullovers are meant to be done light, not heavy. I will copy the important stuff from the book. I will give this a go once my newbie gains stop before going to an intermediate...

    Cheapest WPI online?

    Professional whey is fairly good for unflavoured, expensive for their organic flavoured stuff. I flavour my own with stevia and their vanilla powder or cocao. Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2

    [Syd] Where do you bulk buy your meat?

    I really need to find a good butcher so sick of the meat from woolies. My friend buys grassfed rib eye and t bones from this place. Online Butcher, Sydney | Fresh Home Delivered Meats | Butcherman looks good.

    Romie's Transformation 2013

    Thanks Shrek. Taurus ill see how it goes over the next few weeks. I am only going to introduce one exercise a week so I can see how it goes.

    Bodybuilding.com WHERE IS MY ORDER??

    Don't you have a tracking number? Generally if you don't have a tracking number its the cheapest option and can take 4-6 weeks. Express is 3-4 days and the middle options takes around 2 weeks and both should give you a tracking number. Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
