Are there any private/unknown Gyms in or near Durbanville/Brackenfell?

I'm looking to see if I can go to a place where there's more than one squat rack? Bleh.

I gave up on this ages ago, why not find alternatives I personally wont let a crowded gym hinder my routine, if you atleast have a barbell try

Hack squats
front squats (just power clean it up)
landmine squats
Zercher Squats (*** to get into)
smith machine squats(ugh)

no barbell at all:
double kettlebell front squat
Bulgarian split squats
goblet squat

Per serving means nothing really, per Kg is more useful. I always do my whey comparisons by Kg when looking for the best deal, I usually go for whichever USN or Nutritech deal is the best at the time of needing to restock. It's usually between TAL or Chrome ;)

Still does not give an accurate measurement, because the powder could just be bulked with cheaper ingredients. I compared per serving because the protein provided per serving was pretty much the same. I think there was 2 or 3 grams difference between the two.

I only ever compare Nutri and USN, and their macros are basically the same. So my comparison unit of measure works for me when trying to find the cheapest deal at the time of ordering.
 
Im heading back into working out after taking like 6 months off due some issues.

What's the best thing to recover quicker especially with all the DOMS pain I'll be experiencing

I read up somewhere that using a foam roller can help with the pain.
 
Try active recovery. That always work best for me. I usually go for a very easy run (or brisk walk if you coming back after a long break) or swim, no longer than 40 minutes max. Keep heart rate in zone 2. Foam rolling helps with tightness - so more of a long term recovery strategy than something to help get you over short term pain.

Why not just ease back into it in your first few workouts back so that you're not a walking invalid 2 days after?

Thanks will probably consider that
 
Jissis man I have a very very mild shoulder injury, just enough to annoy me, and because of that I have lost all motivation to train properly. I can barely benchpress more than 2x 140kg now :(

I need to get my head back into things.
 
Right just went to my first gym in 10 years. Just want to tone and be fit. Going to work on my core as one day I also want to do these fancy gymnast powers on the rings and such. Will probably still go to someone clever (well certified) to work out a progran

For now I just cardio and trampoline to get fit with a little bit of circuit works.

No running as my hip is kaput

Any tips as what not to do.

before you start fiddling with rings I would build up my basic strength, Pulling exercises are no problem on rings, but pushing (dips n pushups) is significantly harder, I had a gym bro try and jump in on one of my ring sessions "Ah! I can pump thirty dips easy boet" he got to 6 dips before his form started breaking and shaking all over :o

Yup I know I still got a LONG way to go on core strength. Currently I can plank properly for like 30 s max and by 20 I'm already shaking
 
Any good Preworkout around R200 without creatine?

I use to use hyperdrive but it has creatine...
 
Dischem is having 3 for 2 on a lot of Supplements until mid March. Definitely worth a look
 
Thanks! Going this weekend.

Any suggestions though in terms of Preworkout supplements worth trying that isn't too expensive
