The main benefit, I think, is that in a lot of toning exercises, they come with compounding joint impact (Knees Elbows etc) where as these don't. Obviously it is not a singular regime, but one that can be done anywhere, anytime & as often as you like. Cheers
spot on Varying the length of the contractions dictates what kind of strength etc you target through the isometric. I've got something somewhere with the pros and cons of this style of training which i'll try and dig out on monday.
I have my mum whos a nutrictionist keeping tabs on my cut...Though she lives in Queensland and myself in NSW we have to lias through phone,email etc.. I used to cut when i boxed in my teens and due to that experience know what to expect but **** its hard on me...As i mentioned before i at 84 currently dont have much body fat on me so getting to 77 is going to take some serious hard Yakka.
Yeah mate was always fun having a chat with everyone that was a funny 'rivalry' that developed between "WOB" and "ABF". I'm half way through my current supply of Musashi protein so I'll be ordering soon. Great to read your info and can't wait to get some. Yum!
interesting to see this thread bumped started talking Gaspari Superpump 250 again today and forgot how much the **** of a thing keeps you up at night :twisted: when my Optimum Serious Mass runs out kflex im hitting you guys up what is your pre workout drink like? full of caffeine like these NO2 boosters?
I steer away from caffeine if I'm going to the gym...it's counter productive. I find it kills real endurance. As an extreme example there is a fighter who used to drink a case of coca cola a day. But his endurance was ****. Not sure if he just loved the taste or was addicted to the daily buzz of 20 ish cokes. When he gave up the "coke" after his trainer had a word to him his endurance increased dramatically. Years down the track he's developed into a very good fighter.
who was that? i absolutely love the pre workout drinks... alot of people claim they are **** but i have seen great results with them... unreal endurance and focus mainly, which helps keep my form tight which to me is the most important thing. With max concentration i am doing very slow reps with lighter weight and very very strict form. 2 count down, 1 count up, total ROM. The results i have been are much better than before when i would go really heavy but go fast and a little sloppy. NO-Xplode etc keep me focused and i dont get tired and sloppy, i can make each rep count Thanks NO-Explode.... (insert cheesy music)
Geez 20 cokes a day? He must have had a ******* of a time keeping weight.. I used to struggle to keep under 75 before a fight when I was just eating a few sangas and the odd chicken breast a day
A mate of mine swears by a product called Hydrox-cut, or Hydroxy-cut or something along those lines. Reckons he's dropped the best part of 8kgs in just over a month. Thing was the bloke wasn't that big to begin with. Says he feels like he has heaps more stamina while exercising and eats less. Anyone heard of it, or used it? I'm not too crash hot on my supps.
I have been reading up alot lately on the pre workout drinks etc like NO'EXPLODE etc and scientific analysis has given them the big thumbs up as part of your supplement/dietry regime.. With my old girl being a nutricionist she sometimes gives me other more highly regarded Nutricionists than herself to check out and all have favoured pre workout supplements... By no means do you need them but they definetly have more positives then negetives when it comes to achieving fitness goals... Must be added that like everything its all abiout moderation.Dont over do..
Nice find 20a87, Hydrox-cut is toxic to the liver ewww, your mate must be a real smart bloke Ispwich, prob just like the rest of your mates, havent got a bloody clue! hahahah
Yeah man Hydroxycut has been found out as somewhat of a dud.. It was all the craze 5 or so years ago but i would strongly recommend against it.. My girl who is a PT used to be on the **** and had serious headaches, felt dehydrated etc after use. At first i said just get off them as your body mustnt be suited for it..But now 5years later it has come out as unsafe with **** loads of people suffering from the same symptoms as my missus..And in some cased worse.. Stay away from it boys.
