    Self-massage devices

    I'm all about making good investments. I feel great after getting a massage but can't really afford to get regular ones. So I'm wondering if it's worth investing in some of those fancy massage rollers, sticks, balls and things I hear people talk about. Is there any people can recommend in...

    Really fucking hungry!

    I wish I was bulking but as some of my past threads reveal, I really would rather be losing weight. The last two days I have been really hungry. I'm hungry to the point of being distracted at work when I'm trying to get things done. I'm also far from rich so I don't want to be buying food for...

    I was going to give a big background spiel but I'll just say this relates to my current situation and me wanting everything at once. Lot's of info around seems to be either people relatively lean trying to get that bit extra or fatties who don't train so I'm getting a bit stuck. But instead...

    After seeing a few recommendations here I'm giving jefit a ago. I'm not really running a proper program at the moment so I just want to enter in my lifts as I go. Even when I do run a program the reps, sets and of course weights tend to change week by week. The trouble is I seem to have to...

    Cheap chicken breasts

    I'm in Brisbane and having trouble finding cheap breasts. Local supermarket is typically around 12 dollars / kg. Super butcher is actually a dollar or so more expensive.

    Just how crap are bodyfat% scales

    So I'm wondering just how crap they are. I know they are not going to be as accurate as other (but much more expensive) methods such as DEXA.

    2013 riddle me this riddle me fat

    Oh well I suppose I'll give this a return since I have some good goals this year. Get stronger and lose weight. My squat is my worst lift so I figure it's the life where you lift your bodyweight the most. So every kilo lost from me I expect to add at least the same to the bar. I've really let...

    How much sleep?

    So I'm still a newbie after only training for a few month. The issue I'm getting at the moment is that I'm finding I get very tired and sleepy (fatigued) during everyday life and I think it's at least partly because of the lifting. I've been doing sports for several years (and still doing...

    Getting some gear

    I mean, the non-injectable kind. I haven't been training long but to the point where it's been suggested I might start using or at least experimenting with some personal equipment for powerlifting and strongmanning. The issue I'm finding is that I could go out and buy a whole bunch of stuff...

    Food for the day after

    OK, just so you know I've read the threads about workouts and meal timing but this is a bit different. I'm a noob that is gradually lifting heavier and yes, the shit is getting heavy (at least for me). I'm finding that after a good workout of a big lift such as squats I feel very fatigued...
