boooooooooooooooo west ham! Come on tigers! Hull City!!!!!!!!

imo this is pretty eeasy. look at the exercises as movement patern rather than specific muscle groups, if it involves pushing overhead its that movement, regardless of ohp or hspu or similar. If you want to use heavy weights train them first, then fill in with your bw stuff after, just dont work the same movement pattern. example, if your doing ohp do that (5x5,3x5,10x3,heavy singles or whatever) then press ups, pistols, pull ups etc are fine. just be aware of some cross over and dont expect them to be prs if done after a heavy lift. if you learnt dl, ohp and lunge, stick them first in your workouts, one each day, then do your normal stuff, with any 'carry over stuff' last, gives that muscle some chance to recover and your not asking for pain. i do both weights and bw, i open and close my workouts with bw, with some heavy stuff in middle, just use the bw to progress, do cool shizzle such as 1 arm press ups and get extra reps in

Thankyou all for the lovely comments. Unfortunately i dont think a meet up will be on the cards as its in Yorkshire, England. # There will defo be bacon, life isnt complete without that porcine wonder!! Its going to be british modern cuisine, fine dining without all of the pretentiousness that accompanies it. Im making a website and FB page now, so when they are up you can all have a look and see the food.

Yo All, The title of this thread might seem a little over the top, but its accurate. Since i embarked on my current career path of cheffing there is one thing i always wanted to do, and now i have... I OWN MY OWN RESTAURANT!!!!! I have got keys, am currently doing a big ol' refurb and sorting out all of the legal stuff but its an amazing feeling! Its called The Dining Room, and i will post more info as i make websites and stuff, but wanted to share some good news and say i gained alot of inspiration from this site and particularly Steves life altering decisions, if you have a goal or a dream, go for it!

Yeah, that's where I got the idea, all good fun! I like them and they are good switch up from normal OHP or push press. Just watch your head. In gonna switch between them and normal push press. Give em a whirl!

I hit my head on the way down doing heavy btn push press, not pleasant!

How intense are your workouts? Are you smashing your muscles? Doesn't matter if it's 5 or 8 reps If it's not intense. Also how long does your workout take and how long are your rest periods? You sleeping enough?

Wilt it down with a bit of garlic, awesome! Works well with lamb or beef :-)

Yo Timmy, lets just say i have been going through a tough time, but things are looking up, will start a blog thingy soon and lay it all out. how you been keeping? Roochop, i just noticed your signature, i actually got the reference lol, gave me a nice grin.

It's a uk take over!!! Oxford Is a lovely part of the country, better than say Scunthorpe. Welcome to the site and great to have you here

Don't forget me, I'm slightly more north than u two! Hull ftw!!!! Welcome and good luck with everything.

first why always is starting strength the mantra of everyone when someone asks a weight lifting program question secondly a bodyweight is cool and can be used as long as u increase resistance, which is the easier bit using weights. easier to add iron at a measurable rate than alter angles etc. thirdly if looking good is a priority, lift heavy (ALMOST bodybuilder style, but not a cookie cutter program) and keep cardio etc up,( run, do parkour,), supplement with lighter days (bodyweight or high rep stuff), eat like a truck, sleep like a log, repeat.

I thought batman was pants, finished it in 10hrs or so, including all but the riddler side quests. Fun enough game but very samey and too short, for such a supposedly massive game it is tiny compared to assassins creed. Currently at 89% sync on AC:revelations. Big fun right there, good story line. Also a big fan of how the multi player has a continuance of the single player story line and is the only proper multi player i know of to have a proper story progression. Also playing Gears of war 3 for fun, not much better than blowing someones head off with a sawn off at close range! Skyrim is on my to do list, with possible forray into COD:MW3 at some point.

I use phd version, pharma way, synergy or pharma gain, depends what's on offer at the time lol. Taste awesome, easy on the old stomach, and work really well. Best of all it's made in the mighty hull! Met their md once, nice guy. I have tried maximuscle, eas, sci-mx etc but think phd is the way forward.
