    Weightlifting for size and strength: The Basics

    Hey. I came back here to respond to a pm. Left because of trolls. I gained 20kg last year, dropped 5 deliberately. I have a 180kg squat, 120kg bench and 220kg deadlift. I'll be on ironaddicts if anyone wants me, my user name is shenron.

    Law students and their unwarranted ego.

    I usually stay off the political opinions threads but I gotta say: This sort of attitude shits me to tears. They might be paying 0.02% of their 30K annual wage to help us but when we come out of these degrees making 100K+ we're taxed half our income. Intelligent people drive the economy, not...

    cheapest protein shake?

    Lol. I know what you mean - ideally we should eat healthy, but its a bit hard for a broke uni student to afford 5000-7000 calories of healthy food a day, in which case a bit of mcdonalds doesn't hurt. I've been lifting for almost a year. Mind you, I've really struggled to make it to the gym...

    cheapest protein shake?

    Pizza is good. It has a decent amount of protein, a lot of fat and a lot of carbs. It would put muscle on anybody. If the macros are the same it doesnt matter.
