I'm grinning so wide you wouldn't believe it.
I'm waiting to see your report once you've done that.

My opinion, eat raw eggs. Rocky style.

What's so special about pro peptide? Haven't come across anyone who has tried it, so asking.

Why don't you look for a different brand of protein? I'm sure it'll taste better than ON!

Have u guys tried out Cyto Sports??

I wasn't going to the gym for the past 1 month due to "marriage". I however, rejoined the gym on 18th and have now met with an accident with a leg injury. I am yet to take an X-ray but the chances are I might not be able to gym post that for at least 1 month. Any precautions that I should take post re-joining?

I can't say about your workout when you re-join (pun-intended), other than make sure you're in the right condition. Or you could be left with a mis-aligned/improperly recuperated leg.

I cant beleive what anaap-shnaap I am bakking. All I wanted to ask was, why did you put "Marriage" in quotes??

1-Testosterone · 6th April 2009, 11:17

amtak, the best possible guy to answer this would be your orthopedic (consultant) surgeon.

you may have to say barbell squats and deadlifts goodbye for some amount of time and resort only to leg extensions.

amtak · 6th April 2009, 12:20

Duplicate post. Kindly pardon me and delete this one please.

Thanks!

My injury is on the leg. So leg exercises are barred for some days.

@Amtak: Congrats on getting married.

Now you don't really need to go to a gym for exercise.

Stretching exercise:
Sweeping the floor. Excellent squats and stretches. Perform once a day preferably in the morning.
Mopping. Long stretches using a long stick. You load it up with water on one end and try to push it as far as you can. A variation is to do forearm exercises by trying to lift a loaded mop using only the wrist.

Weights: Washing clothes, preferably by lifting them high in the air and bring it down on a slab with as as force as you can. Can also try a variation for strength building by using extreme caution and doing it slow when dealing with delicate fabrics.

Upper Body workout: Washing dishes, Stand with both feet apart and rinsing and scrubbing heavy cookers and deep dishes.

There are many more workouts but its already noon on a Monday. Let me atleast check my office mail before futher gyan.

Washing dishes, is an excellent workout for the back (And You are allowed to take a 5 min breather between the hours, involving nothing but mopping)

I have no clue why that grinning is for ? If its about the flavour, few had suggested 'double rich chocolate' so I went for it, but I dont like it. And the report part, are you talking about the result report ?

Have you tried Dymatize ? (Protein: Dymatize Nutrition Products) Neulife also deals with this brand, I was not sure about this brand, so I told the sales person, I will ask my friends and order. Please suggest your 'better tasting' names, so that I can search for them. Thanks.

1-Testosterone · 6th April 2009, 16:09

Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Protein Stack
Twinlab 100% Whey Fuel
Dymatize Elite Whey

....all better tasting.
