    Weightbelts, yay or nay?

    Ok so I've always been a bit against weight belts due to the fact I think they create a weak spot on your body but now I'm questioning it because I think I've had a very lucky escape I was doing heavy deadlifts yesterday and on my second rep of my second set I felt and heard a pop come from my...

    About weight loss/Gaining muscle.

    I think you may be talking about the old high reps for toning low reps for building myth? It's total bullshit a muscle either gets bigger or smaller toning comes from fatloss exposing the definition of the muscle also high reps will target your type 1 muscle fibres (slow twitch) which have very...

    Ribcage expansion

    I was trying rib expansion stuff a couple of years ago but gave it up because I read an article saying that it's possible while you're growing up but when you're fully grown the cartilage hardens too much and its impossible so I'd be VERY interested to hear from anyone past their mid 20's that...

    Advice + Opinions Needed.

    The average male produces around 7mg of testosterone per day naturally which is around 50mg per week so 250 is still in the super physiological range but most don't get good results off this but at least you didn't do what most do & jump into large doses I personally find 500mg to be the sweet...

    struggle to eat enough

    Yeah sugar is sugar but then again a carb is a carb right? That's like saying getting any carbs from any source has no difference what so ever which is incorrect, all carbs end up as glucose the difference is the speed of absorbtion so depending on what you're trying to achieve would determine...

    struggle to eat enough
