I don't know if I want it to be low, or high. I'll look the same regardless of what the machine says, its its high, it'll be easier to look better, right.

I had one a few months ago for something unrelated to fitness. I was getting results at my normal doctor appointments and was just told 'everything's alright.' If I had of known what it actually was at the time I would've asked a few questions

Your results should still be on file, you could request a copy, working out BF% from the data looks pretty simple

So I'm gonna finally get a belt...

I don't want to spend that much. Looking at 2 or 3 here on amazon (I've a bunch of other stuff in my cart there so really just want to make one order off this site if possible)

Here's two double prong jobs, the first one got a good review from some lad that seems to have a clue at least:
http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Power-Weight-Lifting-Royal/dp/B0028H1BD8/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1295483067&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Power-Weight-Lifting-Black/dp/B0028H00PS/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1295482518&sr=8-21


...and here's a singleprong one from the same supplier, I'm thinking of going for this, assuming it's the same quality as the other two:
http://www.amazon.com/Power-Lifting-belt-prone-Large/dp/B0038OSSK4/ref=pd_sbs_sg_10

They're all 4" wide and 3/8" (9.52mm) thick.

Any advice on the belts above appreciated, thanks.

Single prong thread design looks ghey, but it's soooo much easier to put on and take off than a double prong. Not that double prong is hard... Unless you're L.

All belts look grand like. There's not really a whole lot you can do to f*ck them up other than messing up the dimensions. Go onto elitefts.com and compare to their belts. You can largely disregard thickness. Anything in the 9-13mm range'll be fine.

I mean, have a steak ffs.

I'd say its got to do with the fact that they object to eating meat based on "morals" rather than look or taste.

Just saying

They'd be buying it organic grass in little tubs, and feeding it to daisy, who naturally would live in the bedroom because they love animals so much that they couldn't leave her outside in the cold.

I mean what if daisy got the sniffles from being out in the cold?

Couldn't be giving her antibiotics, that's wrong.

I was doing some cycling in the gym today and just noticed some chap with 80kg on the bar benching. He was shaking and couldn't do one full rep yet kept going and did 4 partial ones. He then added 5s to either side and proceeded to try and bench that. He ended up with it rolling down towards his neck and couldn't lift it back up. I ran over and pulled it off him and must have pulled something in my back. Tis killing me :mad:

If I'd been the guy benching, I'd probably have recorded that in my notebook as

"80Kg X 4 full reps
90kg X 1 full rep (with light spotting)"

Are people still buying from myprotein.co.uk? I usually buy in bulk so i haven't bought anything since the Irish site went live. Was on the english site and just added a 5kg bag of whey and 11 packets of jerky to see the price between the two. The difference is over 13 euro when it told me to go to the Irish one. What a joke. Bulkpowders looks good.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height#Sumo

Professional sumo wrestlers are required to be at least 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) tall.[citation needed] Some aspiring sumo athletes have silicone implants added to the tops of their heads to reach the necessary height.

:eek:

Before & after

According to Mainoumi, his head was all bloody after the operation and after taking silicon out. He needed to play sumo with bloody head. In his case, a medical practitioner put a bag between the head skin and the skull. As soon as the operated opening of skin closed (more-or-less, because of lack of the time), the health practitioner put silicon small amount at a time, and gradually increase the amount. Since the silicon give pressure between the skull and the skin, it caused the further tension to pull the skin off the skull. Mainoumi said he constantly vomit because of the pain. His friends from college (Nichidai Sumo Team) helped during the difficult time, and keeping the wound clean with towels and the towels getting all bloody because of the unhealed wound on top of the head.
“It is sickening even in just listening to Mainoumi’s story.”

The Kyokai has since banned the use of such prosthetics.

Question, is it a fair assumption to say that if i lost 5kg of fat that my lifts stay the same.

I assume they would but wanted to ask the guys who have exp of reasonable bulk n cuts

They would most likely drop. Bench deffo, your leverages would change slightly aswell.

I lost 20lbs last spring/summer-all my lifts went up as normal apart from bench which slowed alot but my bench always has been feeble :mad:
One thing I did do upon reading the advice of (I think) natural bodybuilder was to cut back on volume and not the amount of weight lifted to retain size while on a cut. Worked for me anyway

Depends where you're at.

Making good consistent gains without too much difficulty, shouldnt' be a negative effect.

At a high level struggling to gain, you'l probably see a drop off on your bench and squat.

If you're somewhere in the middle, don't worry too much.

Mellor

I'm not at a high level so hopefully won't be an issue.
That's if I even manage to get the fat down
