    Effort training

    Yeah Josh may as well make it 10am to get me out of bed at a reasonable hour. See ya next Saturday, I'll shoot you my mobile in a PM. Trofius, I was on the northside of Brisbane but hva recently moved. I trained at Carseldine Goodlife. It had a pretty good weights section. 2 squat racks, 2...

    Effort training

    Hey man should be keen to catch up at your gym Saturday week (12th). My girlfriend is going to Japan for 7 months on Monday so I've got to spend this Saturday with her i'm told, haha. Don't sweat it Fadi, you and PTC and others give us plenty of help and motivation we wouldn't otherwise be...

    Effort training

    Yeah definately keen to give that a run. I train at Goodlife as well so I think that means I can drop by your gym coz members can train wherever right?

    Thanks for the advice. I think the wrist, elbow and shoulder flexibility that you mention is what I am lacking.

    Effort training

    Last night when I was doing powercleans I was really focusing on hip drive. A few times it all came together and the bar just seems to fly up to the shoulders. The one I really struggle with is squat cleans. I can't get it to sit on my shoulders properly when I clean it and end up...

    New Training Program

    Hey Josh would you be able to hook me up with a contact for that coach at all. Was it the one at Chandler? The other one I contacted didn't seem all that keen on actually providing coaching.

    New Training Program

    Cla

    3 or 4 softgels a day. Generally with meals as per the instructions on the bottle. I don't have the bottle with me so I can't tell you the breakdown.

    Cla

    I'm using it at the moment while I'm on a cutting cycle. It was cheap from nutraplanet when I was making another order so I just added it in. Since I've changed my food intake and exercise program as well it's hard to tell if it has really helped by itself. But I feel it has been an effective...

    Muscle size is NOT correlated to muscle strength.

    I don't think anyone was saying there is absolutely no correlation (The title may be worded poorly). It is clear that heavier lifters generally lift higher numbers. I myself found this on my 5 x 5 program. Increased carbs, increased fats, increased protein, resulted in bigger lifts, more muscle...

    Muscle size is NOT correlated to muscle strength.

    I think the original intent of this post was to say that training for strength and training for size are two different things. Therefore know your goal and then your training should reflect that. Bodybuilders train for hypertrophy (muscle size) and as a result there are also generally...

    A2 Milk

    That's a very interesting article on milk you linked to. It's amazing what big business is prepared to put on the line i.e. peoples health, to make a buck. I don't really drink milk anymore just because I've been eating so much natural yoghart and cottage cheese but will definately keep this in...

    100 burpees Challenge!

    I tried this this morning before work. I thought I'd be done in 10 minutes or so. At 8 minutes I was upto 50 and running out of time. So I stopped. My technique was getting better though so I think I probably could have done 100 in 16 - 17 minutes or so. Not the least bit impressive. I was...

    Bodybuilding Riddle

    You don't build definition do you :P You build muscle, and lose fat to achieve muscle definition. Anyway my personal opinion is more weight, fewer reps and compound exercises. But that's mainly because it's my personal preference to train. I'm sure I am missing something since this is a riddle.

    Glutamine is King!

    Whenever I'm doing a strenuous routine I always supplement with Glutamine to support my immune system. You're exactly right that people expect the wrong things from it and that's why many label is useless. It is also quite cheap when bought in bulk from the right places. In your experience...

    'Sports Drinks'

    So true. All the girls at my old work used to buy the vitamen water thinking it was good for them and far better than a soft drink. Then I pointed out to them how many carbs were in it especially sugars and they realised it was not all that different at all. Water is the way to go. Especially...

    What would you order in a restaurant?

    I'll generally eat what I want and punish myself at the gym for it later. Steak, chips and veges is my general order. This is a fairly healthy meal (bar the saturated fats), if you want to cut back on the carbs just let someone else eat the chips. The problems is if I'm eating steak I'm also...
