Wow. That's great.

How many sets do you do?

I'm on 15 x 4 sets with Dips and 12 x 4 with pull ups.

But I usually fail on 10 with my final pull up set.

That's just to test my max reps at this point. My workout incorporates 50 pull-ups on day 2 and no dips at this point but next phase incorporates dips in 4 giant sets: 4x (dips, close grip bench, skullcrushers - all to failure, no rest). Nice variety.
Pull-ups are good for fatige... Not easy to do many after one or two sets to failure! When I drop 5kg of fat I'll definitely hit my target I think.

I have this very annoying pain just underneath my left lat, even pains when I take a deep breath. Anyone had this before? I can clearly feel it stretch if I do the arm across / elbow stretch.
 
So whats a good protein shake these days? Want to start building more muscle. Looking for something that is low in sugar. Also wouldnt mind using the powder for baking.

You do get 100 odd servings per 10lbs though.

If you aren't too fussed, Nutritech should be a close second. ON prices here are ridiculous. It's half the price if you were to buy it in the USA from Amazon for example. We are getting ripped off and charged more due to import duties over here!

3.2kg Nutritech is also 100 servings for R699

Or R650 at xtreme nutrition. Or less depending on running specials online...

I reckon why spend double the money to get something that is only 5% better, unless you are a pro or something.

Relating this to flat screen TVs, I won't be getting a UHD screen because my eyes are the limiting factor and normal HD will be plenty good for me :p

Here's one of the best videos you will ever see on Squats.

Damn that was thorough, interesting & easy to understand! I feel like Layne Norton is the only person I should be watching & listening to from now on :)

They should really list that video, Re: "This video is unlisted. Be considerate and think twice before sharing"

The only bit I didn't understand is when to breathe in and out on the squat. He didn't elaborate on that enough.

I think he says breathe in before you squat, breathe out at the end when you come back up. As in, hold it through the entire down-up motion.
