The scales are always on a hard tile floor. Have tried kitchen hardwood floor and bathroom tile floor. Digital spirit level says bathroom is <0.4deg off level and kitchen is <0.3deg off perfect...

I recently discovered my Salter bathroom scales are pretty inaccurate. Weighing myself seconds apart gives readings that differ up to 1kg. I can also pick up a known 500g weight and it might go up...

I am slowly building up to full bodyweight long-arm chin ups (ie palms towards me) using the lat pulldown machine. When the weight matches my bodyweight I will ditch the machine.

I just upped the...

I have avoided bent over rows thus far as they look horrendous for your back. Is there any alternative row movement to a bent over row? Could you lie face down on a bench and pull dumbbells up like...

If you do a movement do you need to do its opposite to prevent muscle imbalance?

For example I do bench presses for push, and pullups / lat pulldowns / chin ups for pull. Do I need to do bent...

Thanks phal. I have been creeping my calories up by 100 every now and then. I guess I'll creep them up a little more.

maintaining like a clock, 70-71kg since I started counting training and counting calories 8 weeks ago (although my lifts have increased slightly, and I am a bit leaner).

If I'm looking at eating a small surplus, what do you consider enough calories?

(me: 71kg , 6ft , 3-4 1hr sessions per week)

1) You must eat a calorie surplus to gain muscle.

2) You only need to eat enough calories to get through your...

I am doing 5 different push ups to max reps for 2 sets. Would it be better to do these back to back or morning and evening?

Thank you nlite2000 and Electicheadd. I can smile again now . I know I have a lot of work in front of me but I'm determined to do it.

I know I need to gain muscle as in bodybuilding terms I am skinny, and I will probably need to trim a bit of fat to make it look good. But to hear you are skinny FAT is pretty crushing.
