just went and had my bodyfat percentage measured (7 point caliper), bang on 20%, which is roughly what i expected from comparing myself to body fat pictures on the web. if i lost 2 stone of fat and didnt gain but didnt lose any muscle, id still be obese on the bmi, but like 8.5% body fat, scary stuff.

So been at the gym probably about 3 months now and put on about 5kg in weight which I am happy with.
I know many of these questions could be answered with a quick google search but would prefer your opinions.
I read a lot about when training arms they are easily over trained any advice on how much different exercises would be adequate enough during a session at the gym for the likes of biceps?.
I usually go for 5 exercises 3 reps of 8 for bi's and usually about 3 exercises reps of 8 for tri's on a chest workout day.
Still a bit of a gym newbie and don't go with any with years of experience to guide us but Im familiar with a lot of the basic exercises.
Also is reps of 8 fine for trying to put on mass rather than Toning or should I lower this to 6.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
if you can thrash out 5 seperate exercises for a single muscle group, good chance the first ones not hard enough.
Dont really do much bi/tri work individually. tend to get enough out of compounds, then just do an isolation exercise at the end. just starting back after a few months off, todays routine looked like this:
squats 4 sets at 12, 10, 8 7(was meant to be 8)
bent over rows 12,8,8
military press 10,8,8
lat pull down 10,8,8,8,8 (mate turned up half way through, so did an extra set to keep him happy)
leg extensions 10, 6, 6, 6.
flat dumbell bench, 10, 8, 8
deadlift 8,6,4,2.
incline bench 12,8,8.
rope bicep curls 12,8,8.
In that whole work out, theres only 1 bicep based exercise, and 2 more compound exercises that include biceps, but I reckon tomorrow, theyll be sore. main thing for mass, is always lift heavy, and dont neglect deadlifts and squats even if you just want the arms to grow.
for what its worth, i dont think pump helps with mass at all, give me a siezed joint at work, and a 4 pound club hammer, 5 minutes later, ill have pump to hell in my swinging arm, when i was on the tools, this was on a daily basis, do i have 1 popeye style arm from this, no. to be fair i rarely get the pumped look at the gym ever.

Didn't see Johnny Evans' own goal or United's third, but Luiz's goal definitely came off Ferdinand, was going straight to De Gea otherwise. Torres' ball was absolutely perfect though. The stand out moment of the game was Giggs' ball to Hernandez (I think? Shit stream) was almost perfect.
Cisse's (Newcastle one) goal was awesome. Great first premiership goal.
Yea, proof that you can shag around, be past it,and be welsh, and still be shit hot at football,if i had a wife, id let him shag her.
Havent seen any of the other goals from the day yet, got MOTD2 on sky +'d though(as well as ski sunday, and six nations games from today, thats my tv up till wednesday sorted)

Not being funny but football is sh*t
Your really not.
Anyone watch the united game, im a united fan, so a lil biased. But I think the result was about right, maybe united got a lil lucky on penalty decisions, but I think chelsea got lucky too , only 4 shots on target the whole game.

I was thinking more showing off type ability than anything, rabonas, rainbows etc. Just dunno what to start with, I've got a pretty good natural touch and what not. I reckon it's just a practice thing but I'm a pretty big fan of building from the basics now so wondered where others started from.
I guess it's something I've never worked on, I always practiced trick passing more than anything, so I just need to do the same with shit like that.
rainbows are fairly easy( do it properly though, with one foot behind the other, not side by side) just start by doing it standing, either trying to flick the ball into your ass, or flick it up,spin 180 and do it into kick ups, once thats solid, its a case of throwing it higher and forwards, which requires almost a pre loading of the front foot,so when the ball comes up, youve got that bit longer in the air to throw your legs higher and under you, and then get them back to the floor.
never ever tried a proper rabona, done the whole movement using the side of the foot to throw a pass off to the side but thats about it.

Seeing as this thread is here now, I'm shit at skill/freestyle, anyone got any suggestions on building from the ground up? If it's just practice that's cool, but I'm just wondering if there's like drills I can practice to give me a better touch/better control, that's what I'm looking for more than anything.
if im honest, by freestyle skills are probably better than my actual football skills, and i never really developed them. but I did play a lot of basketball, and in my opinion there is no thought but into how you move with a basketball, its all done by instinct,which crossed over rather well to football(bearing in mind dribbling a basketball, is the upside down principle of keepie ups). Now i realise you may as well go practice keepie ups as go dribble a basketball, but for learning how to pass a ball through your legs and kinda sense where it is/rather than looking for it, a couple of hours of basketball dribbling might not go amiss.
Another thing we had to do was spin the ball on our fingers/elbows etc after a hard training session, penalty being the first person to drop the ball would have to do 50 press ups or the like. and whilst spinning the ball on your finger is a pretty useless skill in the game, it does actually teach hand to eye coordination and teaches the body to react to movement etc rather well. which is something you can practise whilst sat in your room waiting for world of warcraft to load.

Gf's mums are the best at one liners thou.
I was at my ex missus an her folks had gone out, we got down to it an didn't hear them come back. My ex was just about to come as her mum poked her head through the door an shouted 'when's it my go?!'.
f**ker. I couldn't speak to them for weeks.

This should get funny in no time, So yeah, Post up what your most embarrassing moments are!!
Got caught by my dad listening to Celine Dion full-on as loud as the computer went
in no particular order.
Simpson helicoptering my face :$
having your GF's mum walk in whilst shes straddling your face as you lick the kebab.
totally forgetting you nailed a girl on the beach on holiday, whilst wearing a condom, doing a smash and dash as people were coming, then 20 minutes later going to the bog back in her hotel, only to not pay attention and fire a water balloon across the room.
full on singing to miley cyrus in the works yaris with the windows open, unaware there was a car full of big cool people in a convertible next to me.

in no certain order:
50 shots of corkies in 3 pint glasses for £20
neck a 2 litre bottle of cider in one go,for £2.
eat a 3 month old white choc chip cookie for a domino's pizza.
drink a bottle of brandy before 6am in exchange for a bottle of buckfast(it was 5.30am at the time, and i didnt need the brandy, let alone the buckfast)
i also once bet stupidly that i couldnt swim an estuary for £20, I took the bet, and the money,put it in my wallet, stripped to boxers and did it. only to find once i reached the opposite shore, my mates had ran off to the pub, with my clothes, and my wallet containing their £20 and my £30. by the time id got back and found them, theyd "lost" a shoe, spent £15 texting people that i was gay, spent their £20 on beer and bought me a plate of the gayest cocktails known to man with my £30.

Right, I need help.
As we know, I bought a great deal off here, then proceeded to spill water on it. I've slowly replaced parts until I'm now stuck with a computer with all new components and still f**k all.
Spec is (base, just to boot up to BIOS at least would be nice...):
AS Rock N68C-S UCC
AMD Athlon 64 X2 7550 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 2MB Cache OEM Processor
G7 Power Extreme 680W
2x 2G DDR2 PC 800C
I press the power button, the fans spin, nothing else happens. No beeps, nothing on the monitor, nothing.
What the f**k have I got wrong? I'm assuming something isn't compatible with something else, but I haven't got a clue what. It all seems compatible to me... But I know nothing. HELP!
EDIT: Actually the RAM was part of the system that got drowned, just seen some traces of water damage on it too. Suppose that's the thing to replace next then!
if you need some ram, and can wait a bit, give me a shout in a week or so, i leave in the morning at 6am, and am away till the 28th, but ive most definitely got 2 x 1gb sticks that where in the machine before i upgraded.

Remove the bread, also separate the carbs and protien as meals, try an cut the carbs down to breakfast about 40/50 grams. The only time I would h e carbs and protien in te same meal would after gym, also try to make sure fat is less that 15g per meal
aye, to be fair i stuck at it about 6 days... Im working 60 hour weeks and i just didnt have time for it/ functioning on 5 hours sleep, going to grab a lunch of broccoli and chicken had less appeal than shooting my brains out at that point in time.
reasoning behind the bread was to keep me sane.rather than nutritional value.

I'd say hit up all the compound exercises, rather than work specifically on legs and shoulders. So get on the Deadlift, Bent Over Rows, Bench Press and Olympic Press for sure. You'll get loads of shoulders and legs in there, but while still upping the muscles that support them. Might as well be as well rounded as you can going into PP?
this.
and walking with weights. nothing like getting 150 kg on the olympic bar, deadlifting it, then walking with it across the sports hall,then back again, and again, till your hands bleed.
quick update from myself, going skiing on saturday so not doing anything till february, but hopefully by then all the gyms will of quitened down, so i can rejoin a decent one that doesnt want to turn itself into a health club every few months and replace squat racks with cross trainers.
training at home with limited weights is actually quite refreshing, in that you have to set yourself new challenges rather than just trying to whack an extra plate on the end.

Right think of it this way.
100 people in a hotel. 50 men 50 women. 1 Man goes round and has sex with every lady. He therefore has slept with 50 women, while the women has only slept with one man each. Your theory doesn't stand up unfortunately. Theres no rule
yea but on average, everyone has slept with one person.

When a lass sleeps with a lad she is considered to many as a slag. But when a lad sleeps with a lass he is then fore seen as a hero!
Only by people with an IQ of a boiled slug.
aye man, ive got an IQ of more than above average, and to me any girl who sleeps with loads of lads, isnt a slag, shes a target

I honestly think girls lie about it way more than guys... well once guys get past like 18/19(age, not numbers).
went on holiday this year, girl i know slept with 9 people in a week,and i wouldnt even class her as a slag. you honestly reckon her new BF knows that number?? half the girls, didnt even tell their mates they were on holiday with they'd had sex,let alone anybody else.
With the advent of facebook, its well too hard for guys to play numbers down,but girls can get away with it, because were way too lazy to play facebook detective. in my last relationship, started out as a one night stand,within days I'd admitted a false number of partners(as had she), it took her about 2 weeks to figure out i was lying, couple of looks at facebook,and conversations we'd had, and she realised id mentioned more girls than the number i told her id slept with. took her about 3 weeks after that to come clean to me.
as for the maths, by the time we die, totally leaves this situation open for some necrophilia.

That's really good to know about the eggs.
I mentioned the mercury thing because one of my housemates got mercury poisoning in his first year. I didn't live with him then but he said he ate tuna everyday.
for 5 weeks before ibiza, i must've rattled through 15 tins a week easy. I dont know what constitutes mercury poisoning, but unless a symptom was dropping weight like hell, and being able to dance like a champ, I didnt suffer from it

It would weigh nothing, but it's mass would increase. Making the bike harder to move in every direction that isn't against gravity.
I wonder what the mass of a 1000 liters of helium would me compared to the mass of a 10kg bike.
it would weigh more, as itd be pressurised, helium still has a mass, as the pressure increases so does the mass,eventually its mass relative to its volume exceeds that of air, and it then has an actual weight on the scales in the regular unpressurised atmosphere.
-
What you'd need for some real money saving is some sort of high pressure vessel filled with helium at high pressure. More helium = more floaty.
P.S. If you've been on this forum less than 5 years, you probably won't get this reference
interesting concept, I wonder if that could be made to work on bike frames, maybe fill the tubes with helium at like 10bar, and youve got a bike that weights nothing, possibly?!?!

on the subject of specials, imo the north pole, bolivia, botswana, the us and vietnam episodes were truly epic. they had some real eye opening moments in them, but also enough humour, the last 2 appear to of been purely for laughs. (the india episode more so)

face it man, if your not gunna dose it, it dont matter what the hell she thinks of you, if shes keen she'll text back, if she aint, she might think your a bit of a stalker, but if you've lost touch already, it doesnt really matter what she thinks of you.
