    Am i training too heavy or just got old? Feel tired

    Just an observation, but Monday heavy squatting, Tuesday sumo squats, Weds heavy dead-lifts - This all seems hugely demanding for your legs and whole body. Maybe try to add a couple of days into the routine that extends your recovery time where you just stretch or do some low impact activity...

    training twice a week

    I would agree a full body workout will ensure you get the maximum from your 2x week workouts, but i'd start with the biggest compound movements and end with the lighter movements at the end. Doing a bit more leg work to help balance against the upper body exercises as your set count is very...

    Take a week off from the gym?

    Rather than a week off, maybe rotate your routine a little. do some exercises you've never done before or a completely different weight/rep combo. IMHO believing that you are over working is normally a sign of stagnation / boredom and is more of a mind set issue. Saying that a week off...

    Whey isolate

    Food sensitivities can come on after many years of eating the same thing with lots of different triggers. Look at the numbers of people that have become coeliac later in life. I'd take a break from the protein powder and try other sources for a while and see if it helps, but is more than...

    Ostarine Test Recovery as teenager

    Because with good training technique and diet you ought to be able to make good gains. You are effectively in a prime state for natural progression. Why use other supplements at a price when you can still make good gains without the likes of SARMs or AAS. Most people will resort to SARMs...

    Myofascial pain/Chronic Trigger Points and BPC-157

    I read so many good things about this product, but have no experience nor desire to pin myself for any reason unless it is medically a necessity. It seems difficult / impossible to find anyone in the UK that would offer this administration as part of a treatment plan, which is so annoying that...

    Joint force....how is this supposed to work?

    Situation - elbow tendonitis (golfers elbow), right shoulder slight impingement and discomfort in long head of biceps, tight hips and discomfort when dead lifting and to a lesser degree squatting. Upon reading comments i thought joint force would be a good product to use to help with some / all...

    Common but complicated question

    There's no need to do cardio for your objectives, although cardio provides other benefits such as heart and cardiovascular health. Just reduce calories and ensure that the calories you are consuming are 'good' calories made up up high quality proteins and limited refined sugars and junk food...

    Adductor pain

    Maybe worth considering taking a week or two off the exercises that give your adductors the most grief, try and get the scar tissue broken up through myofascial release and gradually build the lifts back in that were causing issues.

    CAN YOU LOOK "AESTHETICALLY GOOD" AS YOU GET OLDER ?

    I agree that the answer is yes, without question, although 'as you get older' is a relative term. For instance i think you can still look superb in your 30's and 40's and probably 50's (but i'm not in that bracket yet). But of course one cannot stop time and it becomes increasingly difficult...

    Testosterone Booster for me

    If i could do my younger years again, i would have dropped most supplements and focused on training with correct form and performed much more core activity, involving body weight movements and the odd yoga/pilates class. Your strength/size will not be affected by this and in the longer term...

    Steve reeves, diet and roids.

    It's also easy to look at some old bodybuilders and think that they looked like their photo shoots the whole time, which most didn't. Reeves may be an exception, but do not know enough about his life to say either way. Reeves was still amazing though for what he did for weight training...

    Good idea to have a week off lifting every 8-10 weeks?

    If you love training then taking a week out can be pretty hard (missing 2 days over Christmas is bad enough because the gym is closed). It can also screw with your routine if you are settled into a pretty good diet/calorie programme that needs the training to accompany it. However, sometimes...

    How often do you train abs.

    Although worth dedicating time to the 'core' as opposed to just abs, i also try and avoid ending sessions with core work because it diverts blood to the ab region and given the amount of muscle in the midsection i'd rather keep the pump within the muscles i have specifically worked.

    Thoughts on belts for heavy deads/squats?

    For heavier lifts a good belt makes a difference to assist with stability and ensure maximum stress on the muscles you are trying to work. If anything they actually help to engage the core because as you tighten this area, the core and abs push against the belt, thus creating a bracing effect...

    How often do you train abs.

    It is very common to overlook adequately strengthening the 'core', which includes a band of muscle that sits behind the abdominal wall plus other deep seated muscles. I trained for over 20 years not directly training the abs/core and gradually you start to pay a price through injury and...

    LGD/Ostarine

    Ostarine will require some form of PCT. Took only 10 days for me to feel the negative effects of reduce natural test production. For the benefit i felt i was getting (i.e. none) i stopped the course after 3 weeks. When i was researching it, the typical course was anywhere between 1 and 3 months.

    Just ordered some Follidrone

    No worries, yeah my gut is pretty sensitive. Gluten, too much lactose, FD2 - All bad for my gut. Seriously, i will give it away if i can't find a suitable way to finish the course, and i don't mind you having first dibs.

    Just ordered some Follidrone

    I am, but i wasn't planning to give it away just yet, but I'll let you know if i do. I'm hoping someone might recommend some complementary gut enzymes that they have found make it easier on the stomach.

    Just ordered some Follidrone

    Tried it for a few weeks and couldn't even get up to the full dose of 3 caps for more than a couple of days. Impact on stomach, wind, etc, was bad to a point where i've stopped with about half a bottle remaining. Shame, as generally users seem to be pretty impressed with it. Can't say i...
