I started training again 9 weeks or so ago now, and like the OP have made progress (deadlift up from 100kg to 150kg, squat and press well up) and have lost some gut- ironically it is my obliques that...

Thanks Both, i had 40 minutes, cost me £30.00

It hasnt been a magic cure (and was a bit uncomfortable!) but it has definitely helped a lot, so was well worth it.

Hey all

The last couple of weeks ive had nagging discomfort on my inner elbow, and in my knee, ive finally decided i need a couple of weeks off the rest them

Im not sure what caused them but i...

I may have to add hammer curls to this list, i am strict on my form but my elbow really does not like them at all.

yup i tend to believe in everything in moderation, for example- i eat red meat, but buy unprocessed topside joints to make my sarnies, i love cheese - but dont live on it, and nowadays get lots of...

Thanks, and repped, ill give it a try. And as someone who dropped a dumbbell on his chest a few years back i hear ya on controlled weight

Just curious, why incline instead of flat dumbbell?

Im a big fan of trying what works for you! as we all have individual needs and wonky bits as we get older


For myself - training 4 times a week for moderate volume was too much, but now im...

Id in all honesty go to the docs if its that bad mate. Best whilst still in pain too.

I like the taste, but im not convinced of its benefits, a friend swears by it and believes it reduces tumours and all sorts.

From the little i have read the active ingredient (curcumin) has very...

I feel its more natural with dumbells although i can use less weight unfortunately. I shoulder press with dumbells too, again it feels better for my shoulders

I tend to focus on what feels good...

I do hex bar deadlifts, i know powerlifters dont consider them a deadlift, but my lower back is thanking me for it, and as im shifting more weight i figure i must still be using a lot of muscle...

Gratz on being proactive on this!

Personally id eat more, but if its hard to tolerate, perhaps frequent tiny meals?

Id up the good fats personally (walnuts are great for me). As for protein, i...

Hey all

Since i got back in the gym my diet has gone from fast food to living on porridge, fruit, veg, whey, white meat, chia etc and.....zero fat greek 'strained yogurts' which i love


97...

Bench press, as soon as i go remotely heavy with a barbell it gives me shoulder pain.

Dumbell press is fine so i do that instead.

Youve already been given a tonne of advise by people better qualified than me, but what helps me personally is actually noting down the calorie and protein and fat content of everything i eat and...

Well i took a break of four days, and upped my calories to 2300

This morning was a cracking workout, with new bests on deadlift and rows...
So i guess more can be less in this case, toying...

Happened to me deadlifting a few times, i make a point of focussing on my breathing, and take a couple of seconds between reps now and hasn been an issue since

Fair play, i did look at the fierce 5 novice routine, but i often have to train at home, as i often end up working very late... i have a straight bar, dumbbells, a squat rack, bench and hex bar but...

Interesting links thanks.

I seem to recall reading that casein is better for preventing catabolism though? From what i recall they examined the effect of whey, control and casein on overweight...
