    Pull-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps.

    I'd guess 15 total reps, so 3x5. Add weight if you can do more than 3x5. Cheers, Mike

    CAPO national deadlift comp

    Nice work Scott, you had a good turnout and looks like some solid lifting. You need to work your digital magic so we can see what the lifts are, I can't count those little plates too readily. Shame you went 1 from 3, but you still looked solid for a guy who probably shouldn't even be lifting...

    Sexy time

    Sex, what's sex? Mate, I'm married with a kid and I can't remember the last time I got laid. Looking forward to New Years Eve, that's probably good for one. My wife fell asleep on my Birthday in September so I missed out on that one. About twice a year seems to be the norm, thank God for...

    Be careful what you wish for....

    You little ripper! Being a 40-something bloke with a T score of 17, I've been very interested in Horny Goat Weed and other similar supps for a while but haven't bothered due to a general consensus that they do nothing. Looking forward to some scientific dissection of said assumption...

    My 2200 cal bulking diet using Max's guidelines

    Cool! If I drop it to 39g in my plan then my cals drop to spot on and my proteins are still above target. ;) I'll confirm it tomorrow anyway, but seems about right. Stuff I just read said only have some Amino Acids pre-workout if possible but he did have other plans based on when you...

    My 2200 cal bulking diet using Max's guidelines

    Here mate: T NATION | Carb Cycling Codex Ok, will do. I'm pretty sure I just read it off the side of the tin, but I haven't got any with me here at work today so will have to recheck. Cheers, Mike

    a tricky question about tuna

    I buy the coles 185g ones in olive oil for $1.70 per tin and I drain the oil. Always have. They taste great but I can't handle too much of the olive oil... One a day as part of my meal plan which I just posted up having taken inspiration from yours mate. Cheers, Mike

    My 2200 cal bulking diet using Max's guidelines

    Guys, Just spotted Pistachio's thread so thought I'd throw my current diet plan up there too for critique. I used Max's maintenance plus 15% guideline for calculating my target cals and also his 2.5g/kg for proteins and 0.85g/kg fats minimum too. Here's how I calculated my target cals...

    Beginner program!!!!!??? WHAT TO DO!?!!!

    OK, I take back what I said then. I read AST Max OT and thought ASN Max IT. All a bit bloody confusing. You had to sign up to AST in order to get the programme so I didn't bother going any further. Cheers, Mike

    Beginner program!!!!!??? WHAT TO DO!?!!!

    Fair enough, but it sounds too much like ASN's Max-IT programme to me. That's an advanced bodybuilding programme with a bodypart split focus and a heap of different exercises. Definately something I wouldn't recommend to a noob who is still learning how to lift. I've still got it in the...

    Beginner program!!!!!??? WHAT TO DO!?!!!

    Won't be good, but its your body your choice. You wanna play with the big boys then lift big things. You wanna ego boost and talk shit with the bro boys then do iso kickbacks. Again your choice. Cheers, Mike

    Beginner program!!!!!??? WHAT TO DO!?!!!

    Mate, I'm a 40 year old man and just got into lifting about 12 months ago. At the time the most I could deadlift was 100kg and I thought I was shit hot. Fast forward about 12 months and I've now lifted 170kg and am doing my 180kg 11 week programme right now. I do Squats, Deads, Bench plus...

    Intra-workout Shakes

    Yep, that's mine too... I've never been into NoXplode or Jacked or even V or anything with Guarana in it. I get the NO2 thing, but for me I just drink water between each set. Cheers, Mike

    Where to start - Fitness Modelling

    Great work so far! I'll echo the other comments and say you need to now focus on getting under the iron and doing some lifting to bring out your muscles. In time a good coach will help a lot. You'll need to work on your diet and limit your carbs whilst keeping your proteins up. We can all help...

    Post up what you are eating

    Lunch number 1 right now. Beautiful black angus steak with bbq mushrooms, tomato and onions. Left overs from dinner last night. The black angus is spectacular. I bought a 5kg rump at the markets for $55 vacuum sealed and went home and carved it into steaks. Prepared it in cold pressed extra...

    Need advice on training program! BEGINNER!!

    Too much and too much iso work. That 5x5 stuff is the go, strength equals size! You need to focus on the compound exercises!! Search for Markos' Beginner's programme on here and give that a go, or even Starting Strength from Rippetoe. If you want to get more advanced then do something like...

    peptides... legal or illegal??? why are they so hard to find these days??

    There's a whole thread by Christian on ghrp6 and his trouble with customs getting them through where he goes into a lot of detail about the difference and why peptides should be OK. In laymans terms, HGH is actually the hormone itself which is illegal, but ghrp6 is a growth hormone releasing...
