The Bodybuilders Thread: Circuit II

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.

My only problem is the abdominal area. I do train abs, but maybe not enough. If I could get that area down to around 10%, then I'll get those abs out properly. So tough though!

Training abs won't reduce the fat around them, eating lean will.

Abs are made in the kitchen.

Yeah I know that already, you can't spot reduce fat.

Yep, working hard on it. Just funny that my genes are such that when at 8% BF, my abs aren't fully visible. Damn genes

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

Those calipers are not the best way of measuring BF%. Nearly most of the methods used are inconsistent and most peoples %'s are usually underestimated. ie 10%'s are actually closer to 13-15%.

This video explains it really well

I hear you. It was definitely a surprise when she said 8%. So 10-15% is probably more accurate

Really starting to feel my cut. Lost a ton of inches, but now starting to get weaker. The weight of my lifts are not dropping, but reps are suffering. Thinking about a pre-workout now.

Plus, I am starting an advanced rescue course for my diving in March. To pass, I need to do a 4km sea surface swim. So now I need to spend more time at the gym in the pool. Guess any serious lifting is going to be put on the back-burner for a bit.

Hi everyone, new to this thread (MyBB has threads for everything, yay).

I saw earlier posts regarding Myprotein orders via their local site. I made an order on Black Friday, and am still waiting, over 2 weeks later. The last update I can see is despatched from UK. Has anyone else been in such a situation?

 

[CodeMaster]

I ordered on Cyber Monday and I'm also still waiting for my order.

Also in the same boat. Estimated time of delivery is between the 8th and the 13th (today) which I doubt will happen.

Yes I was.

You should receive a tracking number from Jersey Post, not the HUT one, the one that starts with EE. Check on the SAPO website if your parcel has arrived in SA using this link: sms.postoffice.co.za/TrackingParcels/

Mine took forever but I did eventually get my parcel. A customs detention will add a week to your delivery; they have quite a backlog unfortunately.

On the SAPO tracking, if it says there's nothing in the database, wait another week. My previous order took three weeks just to be scanned at Joburg airport.

If there's nothing after another week, report your package missing on the MyProtein website.

Hope this all helps. Good luck.

these orders can take up to 4 weeks to get to you...just be patient guys it will arrive.

A few people have been yeh. Not impressed by this as I have spoken to them a few times saying that they need to use a courier service.
