Yeah that looks cool.

For interest sake, my program look as follow:

Chest:
1)Incline DB Presses
2)Incline DB Flies
3)Incline BB Close Grip Press
4)Cable Cross Over
5)Peck Deck
6)Flat BB Press on Smith Machine
I am going to add a Peck Deck as well.

Shoulders:
1)DB Shoulder Press
2)DB Arnold Press
3)Upright Rows with BB
4)Behind neck Press with BB (standing)
5)Side Lateral Raise with DB's
6)Front Raises with DB's (while performing this, I rotate the dumbbell on each rep. I.e the first rep will be done with my palm facing down, and the next rep I will rotate it 45 degrees, next rep 90 degrees, and end with the palm facing up. I then start from the start so that I do 12 reps at the end)
7)Steering Wheels (just started doing it...its a killer)

Back:
1) Chin Ups
2) Bent over BB row
3) Lat Pull Down
4) One arm BB Rows (the one where you use a bench)
5) Iso Machine
6) Cable Machine Rows

Legs:
1) Squats
2) Dead Lifts
3) Leg Press
4) Calf Raise
5) Leg Extension machine
6) Leg Curls
7) Lunges

All of the above is done with 4 sets of 10 reps each. 45-60s break between sets. 2min rest between exercises.

Abs I am not going to discuss, as these exercises generally vary.

What I have also been doing for the last month is to take a booklet with me and record my exercises. Since I am doing a lot of different exercises, it helps me remember the weight I did last and also too record my improvement.
Every second rotation I increase the weight on selected exercises.
 
Looking for decent source or protein without *** added such as sweeteners and other ****. Any suggestions? lol except that fillet...
 
Deadlifts and Squats together really TAX your body, best to give them their own days.

Starting Strength,

Squats three times a week, squats and deadlifts on the same day. I don't have any issue with it, works great and am able to lift decent weight.
 
Its called Starting Strength for a reason.

When I could do proper deadlifts I was almost throwing up after a session, and its the first exercise.

Squats are always first, Starting strength can be used well into advanced stages of lifting according to the author adding extra exercises as you go.

Deadlifts are the last exercise and only a Single set, the aim is to crank it as much as possible.

currently stuck on 140KG's due to grip issues, so have added 3 sets of farmers walk after the deadlifts.

He has forgotten more about strength training then all of us know put together most likely.

I bought 20kg of pure whey protein directly from Clover SA @R1250.Its got nothing added to it and protein content is 80g protein per 100g powder.It lasted me for 8 months.You will need to contact Clover as this was 4 years ago and i have no contact details.Protein manufacturers use this exact same protein and then cut it with flavors and other crap.It tasted like ****e but we not in this game to satisfy our tastebuds.

I'm not talking about starting strength and deadlifts being first, I'm talking about general training, i.e. my program. When you're warming up with 140kg - then come back and we can talk about doing deadlifts and squats on the same day.

I get what you are saying, and i train with guys who lift a heck lot more than me and manage it so yeah.

As I said, it is called starting strength but it is the same routine he uses for advanced lifters slightly modifed.

I am willing to put trust in a guy that has accomplished what he has, and was recommended by a family member who happens to be a pro powerlifter.
 
Question regarding creatine use.

On the package it recommends you drink a lot of water.

Is the water that i drink with my shake considered part of this daily amount of water? Reason is, after 3 shakes a day, a cup of tea or two, and the cups of water i drink with my meals, and at night, i struggle to put down more water than this. Feel too bloated.

In moderation I reckon as long as you keep drinking throughout the day I have been fine taking creatine.
I dont really measure how much water I take in but try and drink small amounts as often as possible instead of one big gulp.

At night I have a large glass after my shake, dont feel like waking up every 30min to take a wizz.
