    When should you inroduce isolation exercises to your routine?

    My understanding was that it is good to introduce isolation exercises when you move from a beginner to intermediate. Beginner being someone who trains three times a week, with each day training all muscle groups (bench, squats, arms), to intermediate where you concentrate on one area per work...

    Seeing as you've made 1246 posts (at the time of this reply), and the admin changed the settings to require at least 20 posts before allowing a signature, I think you should be all right. Now if only there was a setting to require a certain amount of thought and reflection before you can post.

    Help with changing my diet

    Past can be good, but make sure you get low GI varieties. Cheese is good, but stay away from 'plastic' cheese, and watch salt content. Remember, the processing of cheese is what separates the curds from the whey. And eating low-fat cottage cheese is good for protein and calcium :-)

    Breakfast

    That breakfast sounds intense. I struggle getting anything down when I first wake up, so I throw down a protein shake and a shot of espresso. Isn't one tablespoon of creatine way too much? the recommended dose is like 6 g a day (1 teaspoon).

    ive had a cold for 2 weeks and havent touched weights

    I wouldn't worry too much. I recently had two weeks off due to various things, including about a week and a half of gastro. I lost a few kilograms because of the gastro, but that is mostly water. Within a week of training I was back to my old strength, and I started making gains again...

    liquid vs solid

    I've will give that a go. If I still can't stomach it, if you pay for the shipping, I will shoot it over to you :-)

    intro

    I believe the only way you get massive is with drugs. A good place to start with supplements is a good whey protein supplement. Also look through the old threads in the supplement section. There is also a great thread on 'where to buy' supplements. And welcome on board, time to get serious! :-)

    Strength

    I consistently get beaten by a mate of mine who is quite chubby, never exercises, and sits behind a computer all day. I think it's a combination of him being naturally strong (imagine if he worked out), technique, and me being naturally weak. Also, I believe, muscle size and weight don't...

    liquid vs solid

    The unflavoured whey protein isolate that I buy is essentially just dehydrated whey protein. It is synthetic only in the way that it is filtered. It is no more synthetic than most 100% orange juice you find in the supermarket. This is true, but I'd don't think applies to raw eggs. Worth...

    whats a good daily diet?

    Don't worry, you won't :-) Chicken breasts, tuna, salmon, lean beef, egg whites, whey protein, soy. Do some research, start with that site I linked.

    supplements

    Good thread. My understanding is that the cheapest place to get whey protein in Australia is: PROTEINDIRECT - WORLD CLASS PROTEINS $57 for 2.5 kg unflavoured WPC delivered $77 for 2.5 kg unflavoured WPI delivered For what types of supplements to take, my advice is to do your research, but...

    whats a good daily diet?

    What he is trying to say, is to eat 5-7 small meals a day that are high in protein, low in carbohydrate with moderate amounts of good fats. Read through this site: Nutrition For Bodybuilding

    I can press heavier than I can get to the starting position what to do?

    If you're going to spend some money, buy a power rack. With an olympic bar and some dumbbells it'll cover everything except for leg extensions. Power Rack Package Deal First non-advert search result in msn search. WD

    I can press heavier than I can get to the starting position what to do?

    how do you know you can press it if you can't get in position?

    I can press heavier than I can get to the starting position what to do?

    This sounds odd. What kind of weight are you doing on your overhead presses? I generally like to get weight in position manually, and the weight that I can get up usually corresponds to the weight that I can press (overhead dumbbell's).

    Dumbell Bench Press help

    It sounds like you might have your wrists on an angle and not perfectly straight. Easy enough to do when you first start. I would recommend going to really light weight and getting your technique down first. This will also strengthen the stabiliser muscles in your wrists. It is a good...

    finishing 'stronglift 5x5' beginner.....

    Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I like to mix it up sometimes by going rockclimbing. Really good for your upper back, biceps, abdominals and shoulders.

    undenatured whey protein

    As far as I'm aware. Although I must look into this 'undenatured' business more thoroughly. From what Julian said pasteurisation doesn't undenature the protein. I will look into it more and check back (when I have a break from Uni assignments). Until then, to play it safe, it is important to...

    undenatured whey protein

    Thanks for the input. Last time I looked they cost a few more $$ than proteindirect, I bought some eggwhite powder from them though.
