I can do 1st set 20, then it quickly drops to second set of 7 or 8, then 5, then f0kol.

That is pretty much my pull ups.

Haven't done BW dips in a while. But I do 4 x working sets with added 30kg. Between 10 and 15 reps each set.

Weight is at about 90kg.

Remember, I weigh 127kg :o

Nice - 20 at 127kg is great.
In my best shape, I'm doing 40 max but it drops off sharply thereafter. I need to get back to that place. Right now 30 looks like a lot but I'm carrying 7kg more than when I was doing 40. I'm anticipating the number to go up as I get back to my ideal body fat %.
 
So a question for all the peeps here. I am off to watch EFC this weekend at Sun City as my mates and I happened into some very nice tickets. The main female fight has been cancelled as one of the fighters was 800g over weight. For those guys and gals out there, in your opinion, when you are super lean and fit, how hard is it to drop that kind of weight? I scoff at 800g, but I am nowhere close to that type of conditioning.
 
I find the lower your BF% gets the more difficult it gets to shed weight. Especially weight you physically see on the scale.

But I also find that anything you do lose at a lower BF% is much more noticeable, especially in the mirror.

Example.
Losing 2kg when I was 20% was very easy and I couldn't even notice a difference.
But losing only another 1kg when I was down to around 12-14% was the difference between my lower two abs being visible or not. And it also took a lot more discipline and extra cardio.

I think it's because the human body doesn't really want to be in a situation where it's got such of shortage of energy stores...

800g is easier to put on than lose sometimes. I suspect they're at the limit of their weight group. That said, 800g can come and go depending on the time of month and water retention.

Anyone tried or uses USN 3XT PUMP (preworkout)? Just got it today, says 2 scoops equal to a serving and 300mg Caffèine.... Just wondering if 1 scoop is okay rather than 2

USN products are rubbish. Tried this pre-workout and it gave me headaches as side effects. Avoid any product that says proprietary blend, they dont even tell you what the ingredients are.

I would like to find out the same? For the 2 weeks i was using BCAA's i noticed about a week after that, the definition and shape was more evident then, compared to the past 6 or so months?? Could it be related to that, or might it just be because I've now dropped to BF% less than 12?
 
Howsit guys

I'm a long-time forum member, looking to get some Yohimbine to finish off my cut. Does anyone mind PMing me the details of a reputable supplier (preferably in Cape Town). Would be much appreciated.
 
As I load up 100kg on BP my gf asks me, 'baby what do I do if it falls on you?'

'you kick me in the nuts for being a pussy who can't lift'

100x6 done and dusted.
