The Bodybuilders Thread: Circuit II

[Deadmanza]

OK phew thanks for the feedback.

I've bought some SSN mass builder shake now to drink in the mornings and that is creatine free.

On another note - I did a PB this morning on deadlift - 140kg 6 reps. Maybe not massive for some but was great for me. I warmed up with 10 reps of 80kg, then 100kg 8 reps, 120kg 6 reps then 140kg 6 reps.

That is a really solid deadlift! I have neglected Squats and Deadlifts all year and am only now doing 120KG for 6, so that is really solid Gratz!

Sweet thanks squats I am doing 100kg on the last set. can go more but I don't have a spot which sucks. Trying to rally a few mates to join me.

My big issue is shoulder trouble. Something wrong with both so need to see the orthopedic in Jan...and am guessing they are gonna op on both. I recon its cartilage as I can feel both click when its hurts during certain movements but will wait on the experts opinion. I battle with bench. Guys halve my size are pushing more than me so its become very apparent to me that my shoulders are holding me back big time. I am maxing out with 30kg dumbbells bench

Why are you using a mass builder? Those are usually full of sugar and carbs.

I'm a little concerned my MyProtein order has gotten "lost". Left the UK on the 19th and that's where it stops.

Customs in SA is a black hole. MyProtein need to use a courier service

How does MyProtein work with deliveries? Is it best to give a PO Box address, or do they deliver to street address?
The problem with my daytime address is that we don't have postal deliveries in the industrial area.

Is it mostly painful when you twist at the hips?

Nope/ Just when sitting down for awhile

Ice, massage, foam roll, heatpad or stretching, if none of those work best see a doctor

Will wait and see another week.

Either that or wait it out. Probably a pinched nerve - anti-inflams will speed recovery.

Thanks man

It gets delivered by EMS aka Post Office Courier. So street address is best.

Thanks APoc, got 25% with the mystery discount, so placing an order now.

Great. What are you getting?

And do let us know what you think of their products. I'm currently hooked on their Choc Mint Whey for when I do need supplementing. Salted Caramel has been stored away for now.

A SAPO courier delivers the package. I can't remember who they outsource it to.

But my package was delivered to my house. Customs had opened it

For a certain variety of reasons I want to start using anabolic steriods. None of these reasons include anything that would amount to any ethical or moral dilemmas. I don't practise competitive sports nor am I planning on doing any of that in the next 50 years. It also won't lead to any psychological disorders. If using steriods, it would merely be course to an end that can't be attained through any other means.

I'm considering booking a consultation with my doctor and asking him to prescribe me. Do you think doctors generally shy from this or would my doctor comply after he listened to my reasons?

How much do you guess do anabolic steriods cost?

yeah, sure... tell your doctor & then let him write you up as a steriod abuser, your medical aid will love that

Dude, seriously, have you even looked into how to administer a cycle or why you might need AAS?
Sounds like you have no idea about the world you are about to enter...
Dont become an addict

I made prOats with the salted caramel yesterday - really really really good.

My first order was also opened. But contents was still 100% sealed and they packaged and sealed it back nicely again in the box.

Just doing their job.

@CodeMaster. If tracking works you can also check when it is at your local Post Office and arrange for collection.

They do indeed but it is not a lot. I paid under R500 for an order around R2.5k

Nice flavours BTW. Would like to hear thoughts on the Peanut Butter.

I don't think I could stomach cheesecake whey :/

I do hope it's delicious though

 

[CodeMaster]

My wife will hopefully prefer the cheesecake flavours, and leave the choc mint and salted caramel ALONE...

Regarding actual training.

Last night was the first time in a very long time that I had to actually drop weight on my working sets with bench because I was failing my rep target zones. Been cutting rather hard the last 6-8 weeks and it seems to be catching up with me a bit now.

It was only on bench though, so might just have been an off day for bench. Pull ups, rows and accessories I maintained volume. Actually going up on curls and skull crushers.
