LukeSR Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm on the creatine pills now, went for pills over powder as its easier for me as I can just pop one straight after work then head to the gym Had a great session on the chest tonight as the gym was empty as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 you want higher reps on lower body ^ atleast 10-15 they are all endurance muscles try lunges too with a barbell and jump on the sitting down calf machine (forgot the proper name) my legs are really coming out now...leg day takes alot out of you :surrender:im on 160kg on the incline leg press now 3x16...squats are the ultimate but i have a weak lower back cant do the weight i want on squats till its strong enough dont want to rely solely on a beltzack is a beast, seems like a really down to earth guy sounds a spaz when he talks tho lol watched some of his comeback videos gives some really good advice not tried his recommended supplements...

I throw in a few shoulder exercises here and there as my shoulders are my weak pointI think the reps I'm doing atm are fine, as the 5x5 are the max weight I can handle, all done free weights on an olympic barbell with perfect form and I'm consistently going up each session. Trust me it's enough doing that 3 times a week lol, by the time you get to the last exercise it's not easy I've lost a bit of weight and gained some muscle after just over a week, haven't got figures (just ordered a body fat% weighing scale)Gone up in the following in just over a week:A: 5x5 Squats Started on 40kg, did 65kg last time5x5 Bench Started on 40kg, did 55kg last time5x5 Bent over rows Started on 40kg, did 65kg last timeB: 5x5 Squats (as above)5x5 Overhead Press Started on 30kg, did 37.5kg last time1x5 Deadlift Started on 50kg, did 80kg last timeI usually do 2 warm up sets before the work sets and can obviously handle more weight in each exercise but I want to build up my strength gradually in all areas, and encourage proper form rather than struggling at higher weight. I usually train for endurance with running though I've concentrated more on building the strength back up in muscles across my joints before I start doing both strength training and running again.@ the supplement comment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Funny how now the sun is out how many people are coming, you're supposed to get ready for summer BEFORE summer Started cutting a week ago, dropped 7lbs Strength stats: (Over period of 3 weeks starting back training, all free weight olympic barbell)Squat 5x5 - 40kg>75kgBench 5x5 - 40kg>65kgRows 5x5 - 40kg>65kgStanding Overhead Press 5x5 - 30kg>40kg (Shoulders still my weak point!)Deadlift 1x7 - 60kg>120kg (quite happy with that one!)I've stopped trying to gain on Stronglifts as I've gained a bit of strength, now maintaining strength and cutting for a few weeks. Will maintain above exercises occasionally along with bringing in machines to define specific muscles (Lat Dorsi, Rhomboids, Pec Minor, Deltoid & Rotator cuff). Also started cardio again, effort..lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 monohydrate is what you want, the german creapure is what i have (supposed to be the best/most refined) i buy beast creature £22-25 a pot......do a loading phase (4 scoops a day for a week) then 2 scoops after your workout and 2 in the morning on a none training day....eat something before to spike your insulin (helps uptake of creatine)going to move onto hurricane xs from myprotien now as it has creapure and protein etc....basically works out cheaperalso cycle the bitch, every 2 months 1 month free period this is what i do, theres loads of different views and ways people take it....im not too clude up on the test supplements, my school of thought is that us young guys really dont need it ....for the old goats yeah but not us young-uns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
