Post up bro.

that forearm pain sh*t takes the piss

ive jus been soldiering through

been a bit of talk in this fred few months back bout it

Fucking painful bro. Only on my left forearm aswell. Gets worse the more I soldier through aswell (but I don't give up, which could be why it's not healing). Piss taking thing is, my bicep is FAR from exhaustion, but the sharp pain in the forearm bone is makes me want to stop. I was talking to one guy in my gym about it who suffers from the same thing and said wrist wraps help.

Flex - nice one pal will have a proper red of it later.

Bernard Matthews Turkey breast pieces - are those alright to eat or stay away processed shit? I have been 2 ppackets every other day.

[Flex]

Was wondering this also. Been eating the two packs for £3 from tescos. Thats about 65g protein for £3 which isn't bad, but not sure on the "quality" of protein.

Anyone who has the time tho, head down to Smithfields market by Farringdon around 3am. Ridiculously priced meats there. Got 6 decent size rib eye steaks for £10. also amazing chicken legs, breast and thigh prices, basically everything.

started gym 5 weeks ago now, the last and only ever time I went gym was 6 years ago and went for about a month and then packed it in.

 

I lose interest easily and surprised I've kept it up this long.

 

go 3 times a week

 

Mon - Legs & shoulders

 

Weds - Back & bis

 

Fri - chest & tris

 

I write everything I do on my phone to see if I progress (didnt do this for the first 2/3 wks which I'm a bit gutted about), but I've definitely improved.

 

6ft3 weighing in 11 stone - my strength is so weak. I go with 1 or 2 guys from work and at times it pisses me off when the other guys are doing 10kg more than you on incline & decline dumb bells but yesterday I dropped down a weight as I noticed my form wasn't that great, hurts the pride but form is better.

 

read all 148 pages in this thread over the last week and I'm already looking forward to Monday's session.

 

Have not been doing much cardio so from next week that is gonna change.

 

My diets not the best but I'm cutting out the shit so that's getting better.

 

feel locked in!!

[local]

[Flex]

once you lock down the diet, good amount of starchy carbs and protein after every session you'll notice a difference in a couple weeks.

No one knows the answer to this nah?

[Heero Yuy]

These ones?

[time_bomb]

it should say on the pack if its processed or not

[Niall Ferguson]

lol - quality of protein

 

[Flex]

lol - quality of protein

 

explain?

[YFSD]

Don't waste your time

[Niall Ferguson]

Sorry I was just being silly.

 

The quality of protein in those things is the last thing you need to worry about. It's the sodium and other chemical crap you need to think about.

Props Macz, very similar stats to me, 6foot 73KG.

 

What you lifting?
Bench

Squat

Dead

[macz]

only been going 7 wks an not very strong at all at the minute but working on it

 

not done squats yet, hopefully going to start doing them next week, and only deadlifted once few weeks back and my form was terrible and that was a set at 40kg inc bar as first time I'd done it. Need to get time to watch a few youtube vids to see where I'm going wrong.

 

Bench press only started doing these this week and last week, got upto 30kg without the bar, but I dont think the bar weighs 20kg so not sure the exact weight

 

I'm taking my time and slowly moving up, just need to get the deads and squats nailed and hopefully see some better gains.

 

you?

[Yoshie]

Similar boat again, been doing it for 5 weeks, 

 

Approx,

Dead 50

Bench 40

Squat 30 (dropped this down last week a lot as my form was real real poor, haven't been back in the gym to put more weight on)
