Question from the Infirmary for people with experience in hammy strains.

When looking at my left (good leg) from behind, the main tendon on the outside of the leg keeps twinging and carrying on, sometimes just walking, sometimes bending over to get things.

What's the process for fixing these sorts of strains? It only pulls a little up into the "meat' of the hammy so to speak.

I've been foam rolling it and doing stretches. I skipped gym Monday and may skip tonight as well as I've got some other niggles at the moment and haven't taken a full week off in a while.

That must be served in a mixing bowl.

Has anyone had any dealings with protein direct ? or Factory Direct Protein off eBay?

[Trozzle]

eBay. 'Nuff said. haha

Honestly don't think you'll find anyone here has mate...generally if we aren't buying "brand name" stuff, it's coz we go with Bulk Nutrients.

I need to call NMI cause DTS are fking useless.

[bozodos]

BN is actually selling kits to test proteins yourself now interestingly enough (though only in a colour change to detect carb content vs protein).

Reading through Markos' newsletters - you should write a book if you're not already!

[Kenna802]

Just curious at this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=330767212031

[-FIGJAM-]

decent price, but as mentioned a number of times, most people here buy from Bulk Nutrients.

soo try http://www.bulknutrients.com.au/shop/wpi/wpi

No marketing like forum loyalty

[Kenna802]

was just curious as unless I read it wrong the proteins at BN for sale are either an isolate or concentrate not a mixture.

[markos]

Boz, I do have a book half written that I get people hounding me to finish.......one day.

Its called "Where do you live"

[bozodos]

yeah I've been finding them quite amusing and informative and have inspired me to really start busting my arse at the gym again instead of being scared to keep going heavier - I hope you do collate it all into a book and make some real money out of it!

Why would you title it 'where do you live', or is that a joke? Do you also have published somewhere the kinds of stuff you do for your cardio routines?

The newsletter that caused them to go viral was this one

http://ptcfrankston.com/doc/newsletter/PTC_Newsletter_IssueNo17.html

After this one got out, originally they were simply for my clients, everyone wanted to get on a mailing list

I cant believe how big it is now, up to # 180, subscribers all over the world, Kenya, Russia, Netherlands, America, Ireland etc

Its not my favourite, but its the one that got people to notice

My favourite is this one

http://ptcfrankston.com/doc/newsletter/PTC_Newsletter_IssueNo89.html

No better place than a Skylines forum for that one, I love it

[bozodos]

do you still stand by your statement of gain muscle before trying to lose fat? that one had gotten me thinking.

[Trozzle]

It's going to much easier to lose the fat with more muscle mass, but it's not like it isn't possible to do without gaining first. Timeframes, training, and goals would all play a part in this decision.

[markos]

My preference is for a lifter to clean up his diet, not reduce calories, train very hard, and do this for at least a year.

In a year you wouldnt ask that question.

[bozodos]

no I probably wouldn't - I've been training and cleaned up my diet for 6 months now, but after reading your newsletters, the thought occurred to me that I might be under eating instead of eating more to build muscle, and therefore increase my BMR.

Possibly even to the point of just eating more meat and having less protein shakes.

It's unfortunate that I can't find anyone in my friend group who is interested in trying the PTC style of training (3 x a week compounds, 2x of cardio with weights), everyone is still dogmatic about the bodypart split thing!

[No Crust Racing]

Do your own thing then?
