It sounds gross but have you tried tossing an egg into your oats in the morning? It's not bad at all and if you need a way to sneak in some fat/protein right at the start of the day it's pretty awesome.

Wide grip. The lower I brought it to my chest, the more pain went to my shoulders and eventually I stopped bringing it down all the way to my chest altogether.



In the beginning, we used a chair to help get a feel on how low we should go and once we did, we slowly and gradually reverted to not going below parallel.

The only routine I think I am doing 100% proper form is deadlift. Though since you said there was a large disparity...I am unsure.



This is funny, I swallowed raw egg yolk out of curiosity a few days ago, so I will have no problem with your intriguing suggestion.



Today....Costco!

isn't that way to much protein, unless you weigh 130 kg or something, from what i've read you should take between 1,6 g to 2 g of protein per kg bodyweight, anything excess of that doesn't serve much purpose

As far as grip on the bench it really depends on the person. My pinky finger touches where the ring starts on the Olympic bars, which is where most people seem to grip. My friend who worked out with me had to do a closer grip because it would hurt is pecs otherwise going too far down with the bar. Just have to do what works for you.

As for the squat, you are actually supposed to go below parallel, which is why I suspect your squat is so much higher than your bench. Deadlift should be the highest of the 3, while squat should be in the middle, and bench last....but with your numbers your bench should at least be in the low 200's high 100's.


That is how low you are supposed to go. I know when I started going that low my numbers got a lot smaller.

"Shawty needs to go low low low"

Yep, according to powerlifting regulations: the top surface of the legs at the hip joint is lower than the top of the kneecaps.

Yes that does sound disgusting. I was eating 3/4 boiled eggs a day, but I found it was giving me nasty boils on the back of my neck, so I cut them out.


I think you mean 1.6-2g per pound of bodyweight. It's 1g per pound that's the commonly quoted amount.

no, i'm shure its kg, we don't even use pounds over here, i'm usually around 2 g per kg bodyweight, though on fitnessfora i've heard many bodybuilders go to 3 g per kg bodyweight

The other day when I was doing the benchpress, some random guy came up and suggested if I want to get rid of the "sticky points" I need to go with a lighter weight, bring the bar an inch above my chest and hold it there for three seconds, lockout and repeat until fatigue. It seems interesting but I don't know how effective it is, I don't want to waste my time because God knows I've wasted enough already. If that doesn't work, are there any suggestions? This problem is somewhat frequent.

As some of you may be aware I lost most of my weight by doing lots of cardio, mainly High Intensity Interval Training(HITT).

Does anybody else here do HITT, and how much do you do per week?

I take 1-6 raw eggs a day.

I'm sure you realize you're taking a risk with salmonella and all. Also from what I understand is that protein from cooked eggs is more easily digested by the body.

The salmonella risk is way over stated. You have a better chance of winning the lottery. As for protein being more easily digested while cooked, that sounds like BS. The main drawback to raw eggs is that it stops your body from absorbing the biotin in the whites. This is only a problem if you only eat raw eggs, all the time. I usually only do it when I toss them in shakes, where they are perfect.

That was from one study, studying only one metric - not reliable.

Yeah, back in Japan I used to be addicted to raw eggs and fermented soybeans. I wonder if you can even gt that here...
