Weak wrists.
Recently managed to make my way up to a 32kg dumbbell press but am having a bit of trouble with my wrists and they're holding me back. I have the strength in my chest to push the weights no issue but my wrists are quite weak and have started to almost buckle over to the front when I try to push the weights up. Is it best…

Tweaking my Routines
Just wondering whether what i'm doing currently with my training is the most beneficial for what i am trying to achieve. I am aiming for a body shape somewhere in between a body builder shape and a physique shape. (i'm not going to say i don't want to get to bulky... i promise!) Currently i train 6 days a week, I do 20-40…

The 300 workout times.

I did the original 300 workout and i…

How???????
Ok I'm not sure how to ask this question but I'll give it a go... It's been a month, the number on the scale has hardly moved, And neither have my measurements. The bf% on the scales reads 19.3% but when I took my bf reading with a pair of calipers it said 13.5%. I just don't know whether to believe it or not really! I…

Exercise and insomnia??
I'm at my wits end. For the past week I've had trouble sleeping. I lay in bed tossing and turning for a good 3-4 hours before I fall asleep, shifting from boiling to freezing and back again. The only things I've changed in the past week is I'm now taking CLA and also taking Glucosamine. Neither of which have any reported…

I was crippled over in pain, my abs were burning and there were tears streaming down my face and this went on for a good ten minutes! I…

Failure with food
Hey guys, I'm 22 y/o, exercise 6 times a week religiously but my downfall is my eating. I recently decided that it has to stop, I'm never going to reach my goals but am finding it sooo hard not to eat the 'treats' that I used to. Any one else in the same situation? I could really do with some advice of how to curb the…
