I'm still lifting more every day than the previous day like just haven't gained weight

Have you been eating enough? Getting less sleep? If not, it may be time for a deload week.

Eating more sleeping as much as normal. Well I'm going to Ibiza on Wednesday, will that count as a deload weeklol?

I doubt I've hit a wall. Put on 7 lbs in three weeks and not even 1 lb in the three weeks since. Normal or what's up?

4 in two starts for RVP

I don't understand why they can't go out and party like the rest of us

Has des Bryant even been arrested for incidents at club or while drunk? Can't remember hearing things

RVP to Man U... you think that makes them the favorites in the EPL this season?

Coming from a utd fad... no, city still the team to beat. If the rooney rvp partnership comes off we could be back to late 90s early 2000s style of play. And by that i mean going out and playign very attacking, quick passing football, destroying teams week in week out.

hahahahahahahha

RVP RVP RVP

I bet your happy edward reed

Well i must be doing something right 1/2 stone in 2 weeks. think thats 7 lbs

Thanks guys. I'll cut back to maybe one in the morning on days off just to help get a good serving of protein. And two a day on gym days. One in morning and one immediately after.

That look a bit better? Or should I cut it out on rest days altogether

In other words cut back?

So your saying only take it after a workout? From all the research I done before even ordering it most people seemed to take it first thing in the morning last thing at night and after a workout.

That's why I was taking it three times a day but asked because I thought maybe twice on rest days would be enough.

Im taking whey protein, 3 times a day when i workout, do i still need to take it three times on off days?

This is sort of off topic but I learned something at the free practice on Saturday.

Josh Charles (currently on 'The Good Wife') is from Baltimore and is a huge Ravens fan. He was actually at the practice on Saturday. I've always liked him, now I like him even more.

He wwas at a game last year

The novels are amazing. Nobody writes about life in New York as an Italian like Puzo.

If you like that book you should read "The Fortunate Pilgrim" by Puzo. Puzo credited that novel as the inspiration place for the Godfather.

thanks i must look into them. are most of the movies based on books, goodfellas, casino, a bronx tale etc etc

I watched it when it aired on tv. I've wanted to watch it again for ages, that's how much I enjoyed it. I just can't justify the price of the boxset when I've already seen it!

check your PMs

Good man.

The novel is damn good as well.

The godfather novel? how does it compare to the movies, or should i say how do the movies compare to it? do they keep to it, or not? have you read game of thrones, im assuming youve watched it, its a good read.

The Shield is one of my favourite shows of all time! Also forgot about Homeland, that's one of my current favourites.

Ive heard its meant to be very good, but there is a hell of a lot of episodes, thats whats holding me back atm, i still want to read the game of thrones books before i starts another series, im halfway through book 1. it was postponed by The Sopranos, which im going to watch again in a year or 2, then the euros, now the olympics

You have to see the godfathers. 3 is quite poor, but its still good to see it, just to see how the trilogy ends.

I hated that movie, and it's a perfect illustration of why Scorsese sucks. You pointed it out, he set up the story one way to ruin it in the last five minutes. The guy can't close, every movie I've seen has either sucked throughout (as in Goodfellas) or been ruined by his cop out endings (as in The Departed). He might be the most overrated director of all time.

Goodfellas sucked? Your opinions have now been rendered invalid for all time.

im seconding this, i love goodfellas, and i thought the departed was great as well. What was the cop out?

Really on watch family guy if nothing else is on. Only watch tv for sports. Movies i have a site on the internet that gets them before they even hit the cinema in the UK 90% of the time.

On the same site i often watch older tv shows back to back in a few weeks. In the past year ive watched and loved, prison break, the wire, sopranos. The Wire and Sopranos for me easily the best two tv shows ever made.

I watched one tree hill as it was on from when i was like 12, was into basketball quite a bit then, thats what attracted me too it.

Currently waiting on game of thrones to return, i'll actually watch in live when its back on, as well as person of interest, homeland and touch.

A Number to start watching when the summer of sports is over including breaking bad, broadwalk empire, the shield, entourage, suits, white collar, brotherhood and deadwood. It will take me a while to get through them all, but i will eventually lol.

Watched City of God for the first time yesterday. Awesome film.

Its brilliant, i wasnt sure about it with subtitles, but a great great movie!

Unless you're doing cardio 1.5 hours is too long doing weights, overtraining stimulates the hormone cortisol which breaks down muscle tissue. Streamline your workouts.

With your diet you could try cycling on creatine, it puts more water and glycogen in your muscles for more strength and endurance. Another thing is to try would be converting to glutamine immediately after your workout (protein at 30min) or a protein that has glutamine in it.

id spend the guts off 2 hours at the gym, but i take breaks longer than anyone else between sets to rest my muscles so i can lift more.

Would i be better taking less breaks and try to finish quicker? How long should you spend?

Does anyone have advice for the best way to slim down your stomach area, not necessarily to the point of having a 6 pack, but just to get rid of most of it. I have done a good job working my upper body as I have a nice chest built from weight lifting. Just need to get rid of my stomach a little bit. What exercise do you guys recommend?

Youll need say any result unless you do cardio, run, swim, bike, to remove the fat. I can feel muscles, strong muscles at that on my stomach, i have good core strength. But i cant see anything because i havent done cardio in probably over a year so i have a layer of body fat over it

Reviving this a wee bit, i dont think im fit enough for a full body workout so ive done up a wee routine that works out opposite body parts, including one main muscle group each day.

Day 1 - Chest and Biceps - with a bit of forearm work as well, there isnt much you can do for it

Day 2 - Back and Triceps

Day 3 - Shoulders and Traps

I take a rest day in between. Im not sure right now whether to do a full day of legs or split my leg exercises, which im going to do 8 off, over the three days. Recommendations? full day or a bit each day?

When i do one exercise, i can immediately do another of the other body part, without tiring as im working a totalling different muscle. For example i can do the bench press, then immiately do the barbell curl and my chest will be resting while working my biceps, then go back to the bench and so and so forth.

I plan on doing three sets of 8 reps for each exercise and take a couple mins rest between each group of exercise. A group consisting of one exerecise for each body part as mentioned above. Ie Do the bench and barbell curls sets immediately back to back and once i have done all three sets for both, rest, then move onto the next group of exercises which would be flyes and dumbell curls for example.
