So I understand that not all Casein is created equal - there will always be poorer quality version of just about any product.

Normally I would probably just buy Optimum Nutrition products but...

Hi Night,

I may have dreamt it but I could have sworn the bench press should be a close grip bench press...obviously this would hit triceps primarily. in the faq it says there are no tricep...

I think you might wonders correctly. I just happen to be dead lifting my body weight. I think I'm gripping too high. I tried changing my grip today and suspect I overcompensated and gripped too low...

Thanks Night. I'll give these exercises a try when i start my next cycle.
There are 3 barbells available at the gym and 2 of them have quite pronounced 'grip' sections which really dig into my...

Hi Night, hope you're well.
I'm really struggling with my SLDL in terms of grip. I failed SLDL on my last cycle because of it and looks like I'm going to fail again this cycle. I seem to remember...

I'm going to switch from powder to tablets (mostly for convenience). I've been using Optimum Nutrition powder and had a look at their tablets but they seem expensive (£30 for 200 @ 2,500mg) compared...

Thanks for the advice mate. will see how i get on with the heavy bench

Thanks night.
In regards to SLDL/Squat - could it be that i'm not pushing my squat hard enough and it therefore has more headroom to improve? Either way i'm hoping to book a quick session with a PT...

Hi Night, hope you're well. just wanted a quick check in with you if that's ok.

BMI = 22.9
Body Fat = 15%
Weight 80-81kg
3000-3200 calories making a slight calorie surplus

Bench - 50kg...

Thanks Night. Been running H/M/L for over a year now. Ideally I'd like to keep it that way but good to know there's plenty of flexibility.

Hi Night,
Due to some changing commitments it seems I’m going to have to go to the gym Monday morning, Wednesday evening and Friday morning.
The problem is that I may only be able to get to the gym...

Yeah good point about the 10 reps of BMI 23/24, I hadn't really considered that. I'm at circa 80kg and BMI apparently is 22.6 so i guess my target weight should be between 80-85kg which will put me...

Happy New Year everyone and shout out to nightanole for all his work on this thread.

Looking to add 2 accessories over the next 2-3 cycles. From reading previous posts it seems something to target...

I'll check the machine options next time I'm in. Roger that on the straight bar paths...I guess I was attracted to the smith machine because I'm worried about dropping it on my head or something....

Thanks for this nightanole. In regards to the Bench, I'm using the Smith machine hence the straight up and down.
Sounds like I was doing the Row correctly then which is good to know.

So a random guy came up to me this morning in the gym and gave me some tips on my form. Wanted to post here to see if the tips were good or not. Most made sense and seemed to help isolate the muscle...

Thanks for the clarification nightanole. That's pretty much what I thought when I was talking about compound movements but you put it much clearer than i could haha

Hi night, hope you are well.
I watched a recent AthleanX video where he talked about the optimal number of sets per week. For newcomers he recommended no less than 9 or 10 sets per exercise (and...

Thanks so much nightanole

Thanks for this night.
Just to clarify then I do 10 sets of 3 reps and every gym day is basically a 'test day'. If i complete my 10 sets with no (unnatural) discomfort add 5lbs on the next gym day....
