I sympathise with you.. I just bought a 4kg tub of Whey protein, and it doesn't taste as good as I had expected.Originally Posted by young and strongBad news, my creatine powder tastes like crap . The tub says i have to take 5 seprate teaspoons a day.

I think I'm just going to block my nose, or make a heap of shakes with Natural Peanut butter in it.
Sorry.. Not sure how to mask the taste

I really like penut butter so that shake idea sounds good. It's called musashi and is lemon flavour but tastes more like salt. :/

Eww... wtf kinda name is that anyway? Get Prolab Creapure. It's very cost effective and works just as good as anything else. I've tried AST Micronized and other than being more expensive, there wasn't any performance difference so from now on I'll stick with Creapure stuff. You can check this in the supplement wars section on this site. A lot of people back it.

Played basketball last night and lost.
But i did score twelve points. Suddenly i'm not so tall now considering it's the u18 comp.
My hamstrings have been hurting a lot recently and i'm not sure if it's from the ATG Squats or i've injured them.
Anybody have any idea why they would be hurting?"i dont know man i try to maintain low bw and gain stregth because what good is stregth if your using half of it to move your body. high stregth plus low body weight equals intense explosion. i think a guy like irish kid or gray horse would mess bs up in a fight due to kickness and probably better punch stregth explosion. i still wouldnt wanna fight bser though hed wreck me due to the size advantage and my legs arent up to par to make me a stregth conter" Sickonstorm

nice to see cyclops helping more people, he helps me alot too, although I'm on Chad Waterbury's routines atm, I am very much so a fan of Mark Rippetoe and 5x5 when you get there. Im interested to see where it takes you!
Btw are u drinking Mark's prescribed amount of Milk per day?
.. I can only get down about half... he says a gallon a day is best

Well done on scoring the 12 points. Are you playing the same position in your new team? What was your old and new positions?
At 5'5", as you'd expect, I played point
Not sure why you'd be hurting though.

No unfortuntly i'm not drinking that amount. I eat weetbix (cereal) twice a day and have a glass of milk before bed. That takes me to about half a gallon.

Our whole team moved up for u16's so i'm still center. I reakon if you can start to be able to dunk again you could be small forward. I still can't believe you could touch the ring at 5'5.

Workout A
ATG Squats-3x5x138 (62.5kgs)PR!!!!!! Hammy's hurt like hell
Bench Press-3x5,4,3x143 1 rep assist by spotter (65kgs)PR!!!!! Satisfied
Deadlifts-1x5x187 (85kgs)PR!!!!! & 1x5x200 approx (90kgs)PR!!!!!! Hell Yeah
Dips-3x5,5,3xBW PR!!!!!! A bit tired after bench (not complaining)
Preacher Curls-2x9,3X100 (45kgs)PR!!!! at rep range
D Situps-2x9x5 (2.5kgs) PR!!!!! at rep range
Stricted Hypers-2x8x17 (7.5kgs) PR!!!!! Speechless by this point
Summary:
First all personal Record workout!! (No i'm not on steroids )
Squats were annoying because everytime i went down my hamstrings hurt and made me lose focus. Wasn't to failure but my face was pretty red on the last rep, the seventeen y/o's behind me stopped doing half curls and just stared.
Was taking it turns on the bench press with strongest man who goes to the my gym and he was bench 230 pounds. Which i think is heaps, but it seems people my age on BB.com are already benching this according to some of there stats.
The only thing i'm going to say about the deadlift was i had an instructor watch my to make sure i wasn't rounding it. (the 22 pound increase since last workout speaks fo itself).
Thanks for reading,

hey im interested in these ATG Squats... I see u are using alot less weight with them, and I'm doing normal squats atm with a horrible lower back.. all the weight from the squats makes it worse... maayybe if I do ATG squats, because of the lower weight, it wont put as much strain on my lower back? I dunno.. what do u think?

Workout B
ATG Squats-3x5x143 (65kgs)PR!!!! Went to failure
Military Press-3x5x80 (36kgs)PR!!!! Feeling Good
Hang Cleans-3x5x56 (25.5kgs) Praticing for power cleans
Assisted Pullups-3x5x44 (20kgs) Just made it
Summary:
Ok workout. My hamstrings didn't hurt so i was feeling confident about squats today. I got to the last rep of the third set and for a second i thought i wasn't going to make, which frightened the hell because i though i'd get stuck and fall over.
I think i'll reach my of a 50kg military soon enough.
The weightlifting coach at my gym got me doing hang cleans to practice my form for power cleans.
He also advised to try a wider stance to lift more on the squat.
What does everyone advise, try a wider stance on the squat or keep it shoulder width?"i dont know man i try to maintain low bw and gain stregth because what good is stregth if your using half of it to move your body. high stregth plus low body weight equals intense explosion. i think a guy like irish kid or gray horse would mess bs up in a fight due to kickness and probably better punch stregth explosion. i still wouldnt wanna fight bser though hed wreck me due to the size advantage and my legs arent up to par to make me a stregth conter" Sickonstorm

Workout A
ATG Squats-3x5,5,4x150 approx (67.5kgs)PR!!!! failed
Bench Press-3x5x143 1 assisted (65kgs)Rep range PR!!! Also Hard
Deadlifts- 2x5x209,215 (95kgs,97.5kgs) PR!!!! These were hard
D Situps-2x8x7 (3kgs)PR!!!!!
Hypers-2x8x22 (10kgs)PR!!!!
Summary:
Very Hard Workout.
Finally failed on ATG Squats by one rep. A little annoyed, but i knew it had to happen sometime.
Bench press had to be spotter for the last reps of 2 sets. Very tempted to add weight next workout, but will wait till i get all 5 reps.
I don't know what to tell you about deadlifts, it was extremely hard but i had an instructor watch my back the entire time to see if it bended.
Thanks

Most people who don't have elite poundages can DL more than squat. The squat only passes the DL at the VERY high poundages because the grip strength aspect falls behind the leg/back combo.Originally Posted by Short One
And to Y&S. As far as your bench goes, you shouldn't really be counting reps toward a PR where a spotter helped you. If I were you I'd stick the same weight til you get all of them clean yourself. If a spotter touches they take off weight so by definition it's not a PR. Tell the guy not to jump in unless you totally blow it.
