He was also constantly having takeaway curries. And he wasn't even the worst one when it came to the toilets at work. :(

My housemate is even more of a fiend on the protein shakes than I am, so glad we've got seperate bathrooms at the flat :lol:

Protein farts are the worst.

Right now my dog's sleeping with his face by my ass. The combination of protein, coffee, and spices produce some magnificent olfactory atrocities which must only be magnified by his heightened sense of smell.

Run backwards. I guess if you really want a sport, something that involves kicking a lot. Do squats as well.

Biggup the workout crew! Are we posting our routines or wha?

Here's mine:

Day 1
Bench press
Chest fly
Tricep pressdown
Lying tricep extension
Resisted crunch
Resisted reverse crunch
Trunk rotation/oblique crunches

Day 2
Squat
Leg curl
Quad extension
Bicep curl
Preacher curl

Day 3
Lat pulldown
Seated row
Deltoid row
Lateral raise
Seated delt press

3 sets each, decreasing weight by 10lbs each set,

Cycle repeats endlessly with no days off. .
.
Bruv.. rest days are as important as your work out. Your body needs time to repair itself otherwise you are just tearing muscle after muscle.

Also wondering why your reps are decreasing in weights, surely it's better to increase so you can warm the muscle and finish hard. not sure if you are tryna build or tone tho

Peace.

5 x 5 reps/sets. On Monday pull, Wednesday push and on Friday legs. Basically like the plan I posted on the first page. Except when I make the jump to a higher weight and I can't reach it yet, I just do it to failure. I also only take 30 second rests between each set, unless I had trouble with the fourth. Then I take some more time. Works well for me. And I only bother with cardio as a warmup.

I'm still cutting and I'll probably be done in a month or two. I'm thinking of going 3 x 10 when I start bulking again. Completely overhaul my shit. With my current knowledge on nutrition I should be able to bulk way better. My last three months of bulking were 1ns4n1ty.

I've recently discovered this. I plateaued and then I became extremely fatigued. I'm currently de-loading.

he'll be doing dropsets. It doesn't sound logical but apparently it's a good way to gain muscle. 1st set - highest weight possible (low rep), 2nd set - cut weight in half (twice as many reps), 3rd set - cut weight in half again (double your rep count again)

A decline will work the bottom of the pectoral muscle.

I do 5 days a week :?

Monday: Chest and Shoulders
Tuesday: Shoulders and Back
Wednesday: Forearms
Thursday: Legs and Abs
Friday: Biceps and Triceps

Only an hour a day, theres some study that showed after an hour your body stops producing what it needs to build muscle and starts releasing something that slows the muscle building down (or something like that)
Still putting on muscle, all i'm trying to do is bulk up so need to work everything. Cant believe how much improvement ive seen since i started doing my legs!

College Gym charges you? Do you go to the college? Seems a bit unfair.
