    i just prefer a natural method and don't see anything stupid about doing so, people were able to attain great gains long before supplements came around, i don't need a crutch
    It's better to burn out than to fade away

    That's the main ingredient of products like 5 Hour Energy and Worx. It works on me sometimes, but not always.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Here's a video on what not to do



    Watch it, memorize it and then never repeat anything similar to this type of form in the gym ever again. Inb4 that guy's in a wheelchair.

    God, that made my back and shoulders hurt just watching it.

    Just to be clear, no matter what exercise you are doing, no matter what routine, for the love of God make sure your form is correct.

    People also used to perform physical activities 8-10 hours a day.

    Edit: That video also made my back hurt. My instructor would probably make me stop working out entirely if I kept lifting weights like that.

    Are the women doing more weight than the men? I kept expecting one of them to drop the bar on her head.

    Without even reading the description I knew they were from Crossfit.

    The last motion to get the weight above their heads is interesting. I've done thrusters with kettle bells, but never with a barbell. Though these guys seem to think the idea behind a thruster is to fall faster than the gravity of the barbell, allowing yourself to move underneath it, apparently?

    It's so... graceful... like a swan with a neck brace.

    Holy crap are they all retards??? Surely one person in the room must know they're doing it wrong... If this happened in my gym I think I would die with laughter.

    Is that a 3 day per week rotation, or just a 3-day rotation to be repeated as necessary?

    Personally i prefer Monday, Wednesday and then Friday but you could space them however you want as long as there always at least 1 rest day in between.

    Hmm.. k

    By the way guys, how do you tell if you're having trouble completing an exercise because you're lacking energy vs muscular strength?

    I'm still trying to work out what my target intake should be. 4000KJ, 5000KJ or 6000KJ.

    It's only been day two.. but I'm surprisingly hungry. (Surprisingly because I thought the bulk would ease the hunger.. maybe I'll eat more veges instead..)

    Ok first off... KJ? Seriously? Speak in calories or i ain't helping you.

    In paper your bulking diet should look something like this

    Calories: 16-18x bodyweight (in lbs)
    Protein: 1+ grams per lb. bodyweight

    I'll be the first to admit i don't count calories though, i just did my research on food that's high on carbs or protein and improvised around it. You should never be hungry though, if anything you should be nauseatingly full at first.

    Protip, have a banana and a coffee 20-10 min before your workout and you'll have all the energy you could possibly want.

    On another note

    Last day of my 1 month resistance training plan too, had to load up on carbs even though i was supposed to be cutting but i made those 2.4km at 9 min 45 seconds my bitches. I used a treadmill but i'm confident i could run it as well.

    I got a negative value for your calorie calculation. And it's a weight loss diet before it's a bulking diet. I'm essentially eating tuna and vegetables.
