Quarter pounders..... mmmmm

[TTT]

Some observations.

Birds understands enough to coach someone (not well), but doesn't understand the female brain. no suprise there.. very few do.

Leesh is being typical female and not telling the whole story and is easily and quickly misguided.

Dans wife made a passing comment about his arse and he assumes squatting 50kg has made his bum grow - It hasn't!

Dan is a girly man cause he can't drink a protein shake with water.

Troy is a tight arse and should know that WPC is for plebs.

TT solutions to all these problems.

Birds needs to squat more and try to fix people less.

Leesh needs to stop worrying about her looks or add some HIIT to burn more calories while not wasting time.... after doing squats.

Dans wife needs to squat and not make comments to Dan as he is sensitive

Dan needs to do some 20 rep squats then skull 2 scoops of powder and 1 scoop of dextrose in 300ml water instead of trying to give a master chef judge style review of the the texture and after taste of his protein shake.

Troy needs to spend less on drugs to buy some proper WPI to have after his Squats.

I don't spend anything on drugs lol, and generally my income each fortnight is more than I know what to do with....but there's nothing wrong with trying to save a few bucks here and there lol.

[No Crust Racing]

Hah, Not quite TTT,

A) Not wife

B) The comment was one part of it, my pants are getting tighter around my legs and arse, not comfortable and when old ladies are making passes at me at the pub (happened...) I need to wear looser pants lol

C) Normally I like it with Milk but this stuff is good with water, I was very surprised.

D) I WANT her to squat, she would be an awesome squatter and she already has a great arse and legs but she sees her legs as being too big and manly, they are solid but in a good way to me. 5'7 and size 10.

E) Troy asked about the protein, I did my best to answer, as I appreciate when someone does for me - which is why I like forums. You will see I have a history of trying to share info on forums.

F) Serious question, WPC bad why? The breakdown appears better than the WPI I was using?

G) Honestly, I don't see it as a bad thing that we keep each others thoughts in mind. I don't like the attitude that when you're with someone long term you can just do as you please and they should always accept it, my last partner had that mentality, and she's an ex... I try to practice what I preach in that regard.

L33sh, go ahead and comment, I see no reason not to throw your few cents in, we might all have a dollar soon enough

I'm off to physio, have fun punks.

would love to comment, but will refrain.

[Trozzle]

Oh so you've tried it with water, Dan? I undoubtedly missed a few posts lol...I presume it mixed fine yeah?

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah mate read up a few posts for my MasterChef review.

[Trozzle]

Ah sweet mate, much appreciated

[TTT]

would love to comment, but will refrain.

why? you....... chicken?

[No Crust Racing]

No Worries Troy.

TTT: F) Serious question, WPC bad why? The breakdown appears better than the WPI I was using???

Also, Physio likes what Matt taught me, said keep lifting and locking in the new techniques, in 2 weeks we'll re-assess how my ankle and core is going, then we can get some more focus on jogging.

Happy days.

The internet can describe why WPI is a better option than WPC better than I can and am willing to.

Look it up when you have hours to spare..

On the topic of your fat arse... surely you understand that the handful of squats and deads you've done at the weight you have has not made your arse or legs big.

If you got bigger, it's your food intake... donuts, blocks of cheese etc etc.

LEESH - squats and deadlifts do not make you get a big arse.

they make you get a NICE arse.

Those movements activate the muscles of the arse and hamstrings.

activating them and working them makes them stronger and tighter.

a stronger and tighter arse will be round, tight, sit up and be delicious.

example:

BN Seems to think there WPC is better then the product I had, but no surprises there they want to sell it, so we'll just have to see.

Haha! Yes I do like to treat myself occasionally, but I do so sparingly, I just make a song and dance about it because I don't get to do it all the time...

And you don't honestly think that going from 0 squats and deads to BW reps hasn't had any impact on the sizes of the muscles targeted? Yeah makes sense... I know I'm not strong or doing big weight by anyone's standards but we're talking a notable increase in workload on those muscles. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that those muscles have gotten larger.

Given I've not gained weight (so fat burned and muscle gained), but have gotten stronger, and that my mid section and other areas of the body have not shown the same size changes, I'm gonna take a punt and say the weights has something to do with it.

As for the pic I agree, squats make arses look great., Kate is the one on the right + glorious post pregnancy boobs. She is a runner.

Edited: because I do not know my right from left today.... fuarrrrk.

Crazy eastern European chicks, man. I tells ya they're something else.

[TTT]

Mate... if you have actually developed enough muscle that it has made your wife who sees you everyday go "hey your legs and butt are bigger", by doing squats and deads with what has been less than body weight... AND have lost fat, all in the past 3 months, then you have some f**king magical genetics and should be Mr Universe in about 4 months time.

[No Crust Racing]

Must be, I'll see you there.

3mths is ages, can't say I've ever started or changed anything and not seen some results in that time frame, if that's not the case for you maybe you just have shit genetics?

My pants are tailored (cheap Thailand ones don't get excited) so they were pretty fitted. I've noticed it, she's noticed it, something changed.

If it makes you sleep better assume it's all fat and we can move on with our lives, or just assume no change has occurred at all, I'm guessing you would definitely know me and my splendid posterior better than I could possibly hope to

Tolga I've also read a study about how a casein / WPI blend is better for muscle synthesis than anything else... ended up just having ON Gold Standard in the end but will try a Bulk Nutrients WPI next time.

I've noticed my legs have gotten really muscular from lifting, more so than any other bodypart, and that's with just doing a regular bodypart split not Starting Strength or anything like that. Thinking about doing chest 2 times a week though, because the amount I can squat is way more than what I can bench (deadlift and OHP is getting there).

Dan: fark lifting for anyone but yourself, i know my mrs would have preferred me stay fat, but I couldn't stand it any more!

Started doing 10min or so of HIIT type cardio after training, feels good man, except on leg day!

[TTT]

My bench is almost half my squat.

I don't really mind.

it's just how my shoulders/elbows are.

I get what you're saying mate, but honestly it's not a big deal, I realise how it sounds but a comment from her in passing isn't some big ultimatum or anything.

It's simply a case of we try and really respect each others wishes within reason and keep each other happy rather than disregarding what the other wants/likes/prefers.

Of course there are some things where we will lay down the law but not on every front. If she had her way I'd have the athletic soccer player type physique, not too big, lean muscle, definition etc. I prefer to be heavier set, she knows that. Doesn't stop her being a smart arse and telling me my butt is big (I do the same to her...)

Nice job on the HIIT, after leg day must be brutal lol

Your leg muscles are twice the size of the upper. Squatting more than bench is normal
