  • (Quote) Pards, bakit binababa mo yung squats?
  • Well, seeing from your avatar, your lifting style IS giving you a wider back. But I'll try that style when I'm more confident. Here's to more strength gains for both of us.
  • Looking muscular, luchi! I was comparing your DL technique to mine. You start out with a relatively high hip position. My hips start out lower, parang 3/4 squats. Kaya pag-angat, mas vertical ang likod ko. With your DL, I see you activate your back…
  • Sprained left wrist. Can't workout until healed. So will be running instead. Appreciate any suggestions for other wrist-sprained appropriate light workouts. TY.
  • @Core, Leg drive, yung technique sa BP. Helps me in OHP too. Plant both legs firmly, stiffen abs and clench glutes. Gives me a rigid lower body to press from. Not by extending my knees from a flexed position. Sorry to confuse. I still have to practi…
  • ^ Good you're doing the compound exercises. Ginagawa mo ba progressive overload? Kasi andami mong exercise sa isang araw, sinabay-sabay mo lahat. (Parang ako dati, hehe) Hirap yata ma-sustain yan kapag increasing weights?

  • Welcome to PBB! Kapitan Pinas, in the making :) I'm also just a newbie like you. The only advice I can give are things I've done myself. Tama ang mga kuya natin dito. Kelangan lumaki muna tayo. That happens when we train intensely, eat MUCH, MUCH m…

  • @popoycanton I bought them at Royal Sporting House in Ali Mall, Cubao. P75 each. You may be right. When I deloaded this past month and did more volume, I found the press weight that I left much easier to do when I went back. Good observation; will t…

  • @Jettie Good suggestion, timbangan. Makabili nga for more accurate guestimation. Meron ka ba ginagamit? @badass_vinch, Thanks for the insight. Again, the message I get from you is "know yourself." Doon dapat magsimula.
  • (Quote) Sana dumating rin ang panahon na from experience e malalaman ko rin kung tama ba ang quantities ng kinakain kong protein and carbs just by looks. :) But before that time comes, don't you think its important to have specific ratios as a guid…
  • (Quote) Thanks for your reply! I'm hoping that it really is just from muscular weakness and that it will eventually go away when I get stronger. Not relishing the idea of disc injuries. I've tried doing high bar but I gave up because I couldn't go …

  • (Quote) Salamat sa reply, Vinch. In general, like you said, I'm eating more calories. Proof is I'm gaining scale weight. For current nutrition setup, a typical day: Agahan: wheat bread, butter, eggs (2), coffee, milk Lunch: 2 cups rice, meat ulam …
  • Mahusay po ang thread na ito. Gumagawa po ako ng meal plan sa ngayon. Tama na ang guesstimate, para maximize ang gains, dapat korek rin ang nutrition. Ano po ba ang magandang macro ratio para sa strength training? At ano rin po ang magandang protein…
  • (Quote) Sir Big Dawg, I've only been squatting low bar for less than a year but I go as heavy as I can rep 5x. My lower back is fine, for now. But I get upper back pains, the area in between my shoulder blades feels tense most. Thinking its weak upp…

  • (Quote) Hehe mas malakas ka pa rin mr Lazar. I got the idea to modify the 5x5 program from you, by doing more bench press and back exercises. Kasi nun 3x a week ako mag-squats, mas mabilis lumaki ang butt and thighs ko. Now, less squats and more ch…

  • Learning the limitations of my body: Sumasakit ang lower back. Bad move going for a 5k run last night, while still recovering from doing deadlifts. Kept getting cramps on my spinal erectors. Tapos mamya, squats at rows na. Lesson: LOWER BACK recove…

  • (Quote) Normal ba talaga yun na mas maraming fat kesa muscle ang gains during bulk up? Is there a way to switch (more muscle, less fats) or at least equalize the ratio. Thanks for replying, mr V.
  • Bought a skinfold caliper. Asked my wife to take the 4 skinfold readings (tricep, bicep, shoulder, waist), referring to a how-to website. Said I'm at 21.5% BF (at 150 lbs). Looked up a picture before I started lifting when I was only 130 lbs and vis…
  • Got Body Fat Estimated I bought a skinfold caliper to help me track my body fat. I was using an electronic scale that gives out your weight and body fat reading for a few months but I thought it wasn't very accurate. Enter the caliper. Asked my wif…
  • (Quote) Hey, thanks for the kind advice! Call me a witless noob. But I want to see for myself. So when my lifts start to suffer, sir, you can be the first to say "I told you so". :) (Quote) Lols! We didn't get to talk about what sauce h…
