Back to it tonight for me for a mega chest and triceps session. Haven't trained since Thursday as a reoccurring issue with my neck cropped up again where it randomly stiffens up and gives horrible pain down my left trap. I think though now that it's a nerve issue and not muscular, so have booked in with a therapist who deals with these types of sports related injuries - hope he can sort it so that i can press on properly with my strength training.

Are you that Giraffe from the other thread lad ?

I'm no expert, but I believe you need heavy weights with a low number of reps to put on bulk. 6-8 reps, max, and you need to work out at least 3 times a week.

BUT you need to work your way up to this.. Start with light/medium weights at 20 reps for the first couple of weeks, otherwise the DOMS will kill you!

That'd be neural adaptations. Should be 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps for hypertrophy.

Alright Bry, hope we're still on for Weds.xox

I know mate, it's just buying foods which are packed with protein and replacing fatty/sugary snacks with healthy ones that makes it expensive!

It's the opposite, moderate weight and higher reps 10-12's

Lower reps build strength

no fruit and veg mate ??? I know onion counts like but you could do with some leafy greens or fibrous cauli/broc

On to it mate, I love Aldi! The sardines and mackerel is cheap too. I eat bananas and apples, raisins and nuts for snacks, things like that. I seem to be spending most of my money on chicken and granola, probably about £10 a week on that alone. Like Bry I'll snack on Ryvita and cottage cheese too. I need to eat more fruit and veg though.

Im in the process of doing a budget, going through my bank statements and in the last month i spent £363 on food. Definitely need to cut that down!
