So fucking sick of the importance of looks.

Birds is quite a good looking bloke. Nohomo

If he was fat and ugly would you have still dated him from the start? Just sayin

That has nothing to do with my comment. Obviously it's important to be attracted to your partner.

[blah_blah]

Weren't we commenting about an article of what body type females find attractive?

If not please elaborate

[L33SH]

No, I wasn't referring exactly to that article.

[blah_blah]

Instances such as apply for jobs fair enough

Id rather work with someone who knows what there doing rather than a good looking retard

I'll throw a question to you guys here, whats your take on IIFYM?

[No Crust Racing]

No idea, I didn't know about it til today

[Trozzle]

It works - it's just like any other diet really. It just gives you the peace of mind to eat a variety of foods knowing you can....or something.

Wouldn't work in extremes - like you couldn't just make your macros up of sugar, WPI, and butter lol

Again I invite anyone to come train with me for a night, Ill prove through my workout Im not talking shit.

You can overcome the distance factor, should be easy to get to the anyone's here on the forum, have a crack at the previous 'challenges' . Maybe we should do another round of the last few to see where people are at? Deadlift 1.5xBW/ Pullups / Bodyweight Bench. All good fun.

back started to get really tight during SLDL tonight, so only did sets of 10 vs 15 (and felt like a pussy because of it!)

OTOH, I did 2 x 20 @ 120kg squats, but my form was starting to suffer, so might not up the weight until I can get both sets perfect.

I did manage to finish the PTC beginner workout in 45 minutes by myself though, which could possibly explain why I had such trouble on the SLDL (not enough rest maybe). Feeling a lot better already since starting this program - dosen't feel like I'm wasting time at the gym 2 days out of 5.

IIFYM is pretty much a cult on Bodybuilding.com I've noticed.

Same as Paleo is the Crossfit darling.

I'm currently eating a LOT of protein, low carb, minimal processed stuff. Will give it a few more weeks before making a comment on effectiveness.

Squat question. Since adding the board under my heels I've gone backwards, without it I had hit 6 reps on the final set of a 3x8 routine and was working towards getting the 7th and 8th.

Then I added the board as my ankle still won't allow good form, have to have legs way out and feet angled to get down and it feels uncomfortable. The board allows a narrow stance and deeper squat but seems to have cost me power, I assume I'm now using slightly different muscles that aren't up to task.

First attempt with the board was only 4 reps and failed the 5th, tonight it was only 3 reps and failed the 4th (may have been the jog I did yesterday that made it worse as I'm trying to get my ankle back to being able to handle jogging again).

This video shows without the board ( this was the end of my session tonight, sorry it's slightly crooked). You can see wider stance needed and not heaps low. I add the board at the end but the next video shows it better.

This video shows with the board from the front, this feels better but seems to cost me power?

This is with the board from the side, sorry the video seems a little high, but you can see back, shoulder and hip position.

No idea why last one won't embed, SAU is gay.

Why isn't this in the squat thread?

aww you called me darling :3

I wouldn't say it's a cult. Would you call it a craze/fad?

Paleo makes me very skeptical after watching this.

If you read the link I posted, macronutrient counting has been around for years, it just got an acronym and popularised.

have a read of the pdf on the first page of this thread if you want any more reason to doubt Paleo

Very interested in this topic

I had a read of the article, will watch the video at lunch time

So are we saying that hypothetically if I need a meal that had say 'x' protein/carb/fat ratio

And it could either be Chicken/brown rice vs McDonalds Burger (On the assumption these two meals based on their servings had the same macro content of protein/carb/fat

Eating either or would be much of a muchness?
