Ok I am new to the gym and learned a great lesson today on deadlift, I feel stupid for not doing this. After I completed my last heavy lift, I was struggling removing the two outside 45 plates. My hero came to the rescue and said put a 10lb weight on the floor and roll the inside plate to the outside of the 10 lb weight. Thus the 2 outside plates are up in the air and can be removed with little effort. Aagain, showing I am a green horn in the gym and I was a little embarrassed. So now I provide you with this so that you too can look like a pro. :)

 

Hey @joehurricane

 

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I thought about Skulpt, but it's not something I want to buy right now. I think the calipers are more accurate than most body fat measuers. But just looked at it again and it's $149.. Wasn't there a coupon code? What is it after the coupon code?

 

Yes, not BMI, Body fat%.

Looks like a legit training method :D

Hey Rich yeah I hear you, personally what I found works for me is when ever I reach for one of my vices I picture and tell myself all the thigns I'll loose if I take that vice, like the oppurtunity to be the best version of me, money, time with loved ones etc. So basically I give myself a choice of take that vice now and never reach my full potential or leave it and still have a shot at getting to my best version. I know it's like a life or death scenario but I found putting that pressure and urgency works personally so hopefully that might help you :)

 

 

So guys and girls and @scott_herman I have a question???????

 

Are Creatine Monohydrate and Branched Chain Amino Acids ok to use in this #SHREDCHALLENGE competition? I've not taken any throughout this comp but I was wondering " Are you guys taking them or happy for people to be using them supplements in the challenge?

 

Good luck everyone!

OF course you can! Just no juice! haha :-D

Thanks man! Your 100% right with it being a lift or death scenario because it is! I'm gonna go on the gum like I did before. I did stop for over 3 months and this is the scary thing, even tho after that long it still jumped up and bit me at a weak point! A old mate of mine on site at work said to me " You havn't quit smoking.... your just not smoking today" ( he's an ex smoker ) I think that's so true! and you can take that for everything you want to stop! Getting on brighter notes! Hows your workouts going?

A PR in deadlift today of 315 for 3 reps. I tried 315 last week and could not get it off the ground. Feeling tired and muscled through the rest of the workout.
