would something like this be available here in SA at a fair price

I have an iron gym and the door height is starting to get in the way of my progressions, I can do about 15-20 pull ups so I've started doing them weighted at the gym to bring the reps down the extra leg room would be better

Nice, what programme did you follow?

Not sure what it is, my ligaments or joints, but they don't feel so lekker when doing pullups.

Saw something at game, for pull-ups and squat came type setup.
Cheapest I reckon, just buy metal, angle grinder and bolts.

Were you saying that Russians stereotypically use steroids or were you being sarcastic?

Probably meant Eastern Europeans and Russians in general... that's a reference to the olympics of the 70s and early 80s. East Germany, Russia, etc.

I have always had issues with biceps and getting them to grow with the "normal" practises until I came across an article on BodyBuilding.com about training a lagging muscle group 2-3 days in a row.

So tried it, hit arms heavy on day 1 then hit same thing on day 2, on day 2 I felt something I hardly ever felt when training biceps before, a massive pump.
Usually my bicep routine was start off with heavy set then drop right away to lighter weights to get a pump in, id then hit the wall, its tough having to work and travel all day, it drains you before you can hit the gym.

Im now training biceps and triceps 3 days in a row and feeling growth in less than 2 weeks, my arms feel full is the only way I can explain it, they feel pumped all the time and are finally growing.

Tried searching for it but found nothing, was weeks back.

For biceps and triceps I do 2 days in a row now, not 3 as that feels like I'm tearing something and my arms felt bloated even a day later.
I'm weary to try any other body part as I'm thinking thats sure way to hurting myself, it was just my arms that I had to take drastic action on.

Thanks for this, it doesn't look too daunting :). Did u follow it religiously and did you find you constantly improved? Did you gain some decent muscle mass from sticking to the programme?

I followed it religiously but I definitely took breaks when I needed it, I think my arms and back look better, you could probably fit this in at the start of your other workout or as a finisher too

Hey guys, so Honours is killing me and don't think I'll have much time for gym for at least the rest of the year.

I ordered some whey/casein from Basic Supps, and since I'm not going to use them I might as well sell them.

They are both still in the original packaging and are not opened. They are unflavoured with no additives.

2.5KG Whey Isolate (http://www.basicsupplements.co.za/whey-protein-isolate)

2.2KG Casein Caseinate (http://www.basicsupplements.co.za/casein-caseinate)

Don't really have a price in mind, but we can negotiate.
