The Bodybuilders Thread: Circuit II

[InternetSwag]

Managed to put up 115x3 for two sets.
I did 100x5 first to see how I feel and to judge for pr attempt.
First set was shaky af
Second set I didn't expect to get more than 2 reps so I didn't film it. But it was 3 reps and cleaner than the first set, but still only 3 reps.

Jeez... Glad there is some movement.

And writing off 3k? Never. Fight it all the way.

So one package arrived today. Still waiting for the other to show as "in transit". So I now have 10kgs of whey which should last me a while.

My first order arrived in less than 2 weeks. My second order could very well have gotten "lost". It left the UK on the 19th of November and that's the last I heard of it. It still shows as "Routed to destination" on the TrackMyPak website and the Jersey Post.

Guess I'll call it an expensive loss and go back to buying locally.

So basically what I'm saying is, your order is likely to arrive within 2 weeks or not at all. Good luck on your chances.

And this is the reason why I also am moving away from repping for them. Until they can sort out deliveries.

I see Chrome started selling Walden Farms Sauces. (lolz email artwork says "souces").

I can totally vouch for their Flavoured Syrups. Bought some off Amazon last year to test out.
The Caramel and Chocolate was really nice, although I see Chrome only sells the Chocolate and Pancake (apparently the best). My bundle did not include Pancake so I might give that a try. Other flavours I had was Blueberry and Strawberry. Wife loved those and finished most of it.

Not really too interested in their salad dressings and other stuff.

waldenfarms-sa.co.za - thank me later

I ordered some syrups this morning. Can't wait to make pancakes

Heh, thanks. I try to push myself hard, but within reason cause I never have a spotter

What was that weight?

It's difficult to guess because the plates are so rounded.

And also because it looks ****ing heavy.

115 kg's

15/15/10/2.5/2.5/2.5 on each side and then the bar which is 20.

It looks a bit silly with the 3 smaller plates on the end.

I was looking for a 5kg plate and a 2.5kg to put on each side, but I couldn't find any so that just had to suffice.

Did you also order MyProtein? I'd be curious to have your review of the flavours as well.

I just placed an order for Salted Caramel and Mint Choc impact whey based upon Apoc's recs. I also ordered chocolate casein. I'm currently using Nutritech, which i'm also happy with.

My flavour reviews for what I ordered from MyProtein are in this thread somewhere.

I still have that sealed 3kg USN Wheytella Whey if somebody is interested.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Just not going to use it with my current awesome MyProtein flavours.

Willing to let it go for R250.

yeah its MyProtein.. what i have has so far:
choc peanut butter - i like it. 7/10
choc casein - the choc flavor is not a chocolaty as say Muscle-techs platinum casein, but for the price it acceptable. 6/10

I see Bolus is saying they are the OFFICIAL home OF MyProtein SA.
Their prices are ridiculous though. MP Impact Whey (1kg) @ R429 versus direct from MP @ R229.99 for 1kg (excluding shipping/duties)

Just did a bio session. She measured my fat with those callipers, and overall I'm at 8% apparently - I expected about 12%. But, on my abdominals, I'm at 12%, and juuust barely visible 6 pack

Ouch. Well at least you can take pride in the fact that you are 8% bf.

I'm in the same boat though, store fat in my thighs and stomach/love handles heh, but I'm hella far away from 8%.

Do you train your abs a lot? I never train abs, maybe that will make them appear leaner so I should probs start.
