Bummer , i really like drinking that . Thought it could actually help with something .
Wait no. You asked if its a good vitamine source. I said it isnt, but i did not say you cant drink it :tongue:

Just remember that its a beverage with fast acting sugar. Cant drink big amounts of it, but its beneficial when you run low on energy as it digests much faster then solid fruits

The bill star schedule will do that for you. Your first 3 weeks are lighter to get that form going

- Do you have a squatrack or powerrack in your gym ? Because you are putting huge strain on your back muscles to unrack and rerack the weight like that.
- You are doing some sort of box squat but with touch and go afterwards, and pretty high aswel. Dont use that bench, try to squat down so your hips are lower then the knees and back up. Push your butt back and force your knees out to get proper depth.
The next video is a pretty handy example to go by

- Overheads are good

- You are doing a stiff legged deadlift. Meaning you will limit yourself cause you are only using the spinal erectors. You need to keep a hollow back, but sit down deeper without putting shoulders or knees over the bar, and push your butt out. Also try to grab it more narrow.
Good example of a solid conventional technique without rounding the back is eric lilliebridge. Watch how the uses his legs and back

- Bench is good. Altho you could try "tucking the ellbows a bit inside" by pretending to "bend the bar", so they automatically come smaller
@DelpieroForLife take off the pussy pads on the bar. You're a man, dude. And if you take them off and don't like how they feel, get over it and grow a pair. That is the first step you need to take before you start lifting weights. On a more serious note, Zach is right. You need a power rack. Use one if your gym has one available. Also, you need to go lower on your squats, you're only going about 45 degrees down when you sit on the bench because I am assuming you aren't a midget. For Over head press, like Zach said, keep your elbows in, but other than that your depth is good. Make sure you squeeze your ass and point your $#@! out forward when you do it so you don't put a lot of straight on your lower back. Make sure your forearms are perpendicular with to the bar, as well. For deadlifts, you're form is really off. You need to bend at the hips more and utilize your hamstrings. Make sure you keep your back completely straight. Go to YouTube and watch Allan Thralls videos about how to lift and emulate the form he teaches and uses. For bench, like Zach mentioned, keep your elbows in. For example, if you kept your elbows straight up so that you're making a 'T' when you bench, which would be keeping your arms at 90 degrees. Change that and make sure its more like 45 degrees instead and pretend to bend the bar.

Good luck and don't be a pussy. You can do it.
Thanks a lot guys your tips made a considerable difference today while performing deadlift (I felt less pressure on my spine and lower back when I start bending my hips and involving my legs more) and bench press (I felt more involvement from the arms now and I think this could help to push the weight higher).

Squat is my biggest problem here with no power rack in my gym. Unraking a 90KG barbell from the bench then moving away to squat and finally going back to rerack it again for 5 sets is way too risky IMO, any alternative solution in mind?

I asked a gym partner about the situation with no powerrack, and he recommanded "rear leg elevated split squats".

Key to this excercise is that you are training depth, strength and balance, whilst the weight is relatively low compared to the full squat weight

To put the bar in position, its best if you take it off the ground like with overheads, but then place it behind the head on the neck.

But first, start without a bar like this :


Once the balance on that is going well, you can switch to the barbell like this :

Coke light contains the same amount of metanol after metabolising as orange juice, but with 0 sugar in it.
And 0 vitamins ofc.



Bulgarian split squats are without weight and hands down next to the body, or done with dumbels in each hand.

These split squats are done with the hands behind the head, or with a barbell.



Bulgarians are made for people who think their quadriceps are far to much pussy and in the need of a glorious beating with lactic acid

These split squats are done to squat without a rack, as they build stability for each leg, with proper depth angel, and murdering the quadriceps in a most glorious way while at it.

Yeah. I just called them differently. I used to do "Bulgarian Split Squats with a barbell on the shoulders at about 75-80kg. It would annihilate my quads. Magical feeling.

A friend of mine and his girlfriend make naturally fermented sodas, without added sugar, here on the island. Some taste amazing, but there are some pretty strange ones, like burdock root and dandelion... Definitely tastes interesting. :boh:

How do you guys keep your motivation levels up at all times?
Look into the mirror and hate what a pathetic piece of shit pussy you are and demand to feel stronger

Follow up your progress by eighter tracking your lifts or taking pictures and feel horrible when eating something wrong

Consider missing a trainingday to be giving up and gains lost forever
