In Durban, near Westville.

I'm willing to ship the stuff if you can arrange the courier service.
 
I don't see how it will be worth it if you have to courier it... Unless you selling the stuff for half price. Also what are the expiry dates?
 
This is my supplements :P

I think R400 for the Whey Isolate and R250 for the Casein would be a very fair price.

I assume the courier fees should be around R150.

I'm not sure about the expiry dates, will have to check. The supps are still in the courier's box. Will open the box and see if its printed on the packaging.

Essentially scored VA "Premier" membership this month for free since VA KC weights area is out of commission due to maintenance :) Went to Claremont but it's so flipping full even at 20h30!

I've been using the chest press machine at the end of my workouts to exhaust my chest. Is this bad?
 
For a very long time now I have done squats with a piece of plank underneath my heels after it was suggested here and elsewhere.

Last night I decided to do it properly and I chucked the plank out the garage door.

Not sure if it is my imagination but I was a lot more stable, lifted 5kg more than I usually do and it was so much easier to go deeper.

Definitely not going back. And I can definitely feel some soreness in places I haven't felt it before.

Squatting with plank? Poor mobility in your ankles?

If I do remember correctly yes. When I started out, I had a tendency to shift the weight onto my toes/balls of my feet instead of driving through my heels.

It definitely helped for that and I just kept doing them like that out of habit. Last night I decided to to them without and I was amazed at the difference.

And I didn't shift the weight forward even once.

+1 I started like this
 
I'm considering working out barefoot from now on. Heard a lot about how walking and exercising barefoot is good for you.
 
I do everything barefoot. Except for my warmup on the spinning bike. Those spikes on the pedals are quite harsh.

Just kick off the trainers after the warmup and continue barefoot.

Edit: of course this might be frowned upon at commercial gyms. Another benefit of training at home.

How I wish gyms would allow this!!


I am looking for those five fingertoe shoes
 
+1 on the vivobarefoot shoes.
I have 5 pairs(2 training and 3 for everyday wear).
Once you get used to the thin soles normal tekkies feel wierd
 
I've started squatting barefoot at the gym - I've found it makes a big difference to my stability.

Don't think I'm technically allowed to do it - but I just keep my shoes off during the set - between sets I put them back on so that I am not pushing my luck too much.

I've never understood how people squat in trainers...makes my head spin. I use some old supergas, barely any sole and flat like a strykplank.
 
Just eked out two more dips. Now up to 33 dips and 15 pull-ups in a set. Target: 40 dips, 20 pull-ups.
