    New fitness plan?

    I've been concentrating on strength over winter however I really want to change up my plan to find a balance between cardio training and general/overall strength training. I have been hitting the cardio too hard in summer and the weights a bit too hard in Winter, ideally a plan that can be used...

    SS to split routine?

    Heh, yeah. If I went to a 3 day split, I would still incorporate ALL of the lifts in SS. Except I'd only be squatting once a week. Plus I'd chuck in some bi curls for those huge biceps :rolleyes:

    SS to split routine?

    I don't particularly care about high numbers (never did and never will), I just want the size for the moment, with reasonable strength all over, and less fat. Apparently strength does not directly co-relate to size of muscle. From what I've deciphered amongst all the bro talk on BB.com anyways :/

    SS to split routine?

    Thinking of going to a BB split routine for Summer, now that I have a little more strength under me. I also want to get out on the bike more, something that I can't really do while squatting 3 x times a week. Lifts as follows (all 3 x 5 as per SS): Squat: 110kg (~124kg 1RM) DL: 117.5kg...

    Dosages for noobs

    I hope this thread will provide a bit of clarity for new trainers experimenting with basic supplements as sometimes it's extremely difficult to research very basic information, such as dosage amount etc, with the amount of conflicting information on the Internet. So to avoid creating another...

    Very basic supplements (i.e. the required/proven ones)

    I've been off the keto diet for a couple of months now :) I'm eating carbs like a mofo. EDIT: I'll need to put this order in today. So far I'm sticking with WPC and a KG of Beta Alanine. Any last takers?

    Very basic supplements (i.e. the required/proven ones)

    Yep, taking a "one a day" men's multivitamin and fish oil daily. How does beta alanine work? Dosages? When/where/how etc? EDIT: Did some reading. Understand very basics now. 4g daily (not sure when though? - Preworkout and mornings of "off days"?).. optional 6g loading for 2 weeks. Anything...

    Very basic supplements (i.e. the required/proven ones)

    I've always just used WPC/WPI and Creatine..... I'm looking on the Bulk Nutrients site and contemplating try a couple of other things.. No idea where to start though. What's your off-day concoctions, pre/post workout drinks etc?

    Strength Training and Cycling/Running (Long distance mountain biking, duathlons etc)

    I really don't care if I can/can't deadlift or squat 30kg or 300kg. Ultimately, I want to really tone up my upper body, add a fair bit of LBM all over (my upper body) and become a bit of a fat burning machine. It's more about looking healthy and being healthy for me, rather being able to say...

    Strength Training and Cycling/Running (Long distance mountain biking, duathlons etc)

    Would it make sense to NOT do Rippetoe's? I mean, after all it's mainly focused on legs. Considering that lifting weights does not improve my cycling, and in fact makes it worse, and also considering that I'm wanting to focus on upper body... without becoming disproportionate.. . Would a...

    Strength Training and Cycling/Running (Long distance mountain biking, duathlons etc)

    Yeah, I was on keto for almost two months. My cardio really dropped off towards the end though, the diet sort of killed my motivation a bit. Probably due to lack of energy. I'm not looking to become a beefcake, nor do I really consider myself "elite" on either the MTB or the road bike.... The...

    Strength Training and Cycling/Running (Long distance mountain biking, duathlons etc)

    I have just recently started Rippetoe's Practical Programming program. I am pretty excited about taking on something new, however I do have a lingering concern that on this program, my running and cycling will inevitably suffer. According to his program...

    jack3d

    Jack3D is BS. I have 3/4 tub sitting on top of the cupboard doing nothing. It doesn't give any effect other than throwing up and feeling like total crap for the rest of the day (i.e. as if I haven't slept or eaten for days).

    Pre workout and Protein Advice

    Cheers, to the OP - I am also interested in this. I am considering buying in bulk (to save money) and it sounds like you are too. I am in a similar position - except I am working out 3 days a week on Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Bulking diet. Can anyone post up amounts that should be sourced...

    How to measure body fat % - Sydney

    I guess it's more to compare how successful a diet was/is, rather than "oh cool I'm 8% BF" sort of thing :)

    How to measure body fat % - Sydney

    Yeah, heard about those. I thought it skews the results if you are overly hydrated/dehydrated though?
