    hey guys cheers for the advice, i am taking it in.
    as for an update, i was benching 5 reps 3 sets of 102kg so i think that is what i will work on this week then move up to 107kg next week and hopefully the week after that will reach my goal of 112kg. ive been looking at different techniques on how to bench, and besides that i was coming down a little to low, everything else looks good in my technique.

    cheers guys

    Go see a personal trainer. At least then s/he will know whats right for YOU, not whats right for other JC forum members.

    what for? to shell out coin for the same advice he is getting for free?

    The commonly accepted ways to gain strength is big weights - low reps. This is fact. If he wants to gain strength this is the only way. We have suggested:

    - less frequent training
    - shocking the muscles through pyramid/exhaustion sets to stimulate muscle growth.
    - diet.

    Just because you get paid to do something doesnt mean you do it well or any better then people who dont.

    Edit: i should add that personal trainers do have their place and can help get great results but if you are self motivated and more importantly have a training partner to help eek out those last few "growth" reps then you dont really need one.

    On supplements, what should people be taking (apart from roids lol)?

    I was under the impression Whey protein is the way to go. What should I be paying for 1kg of whey protein?? Where should I get it from???

    i wouldn't suggest running them in the same cycle, although people do it, i would not suggest it. i would suggest to use a single test instead of a blend which is what sust 250 is.

    no i do not want to use steroids, and never have, but i have been very very close and at one stage have had stanaz, deca, test, clomid and nolvadex to run a couple of mad cycles....... i pussied out in the end

    depends what your looking for. If you are really skinny and want to put on weight/muscle u need to get a protein with high carbs e.g iso whey extreme gainer. if you already are heavy but just want muscle a low carb would be the way to go. but who knows everyone has there own opinion

    again, everyone has there own opinions.. i was told it was the best blend but who knows. i got mad gains with low to no side effects. I should of taken nolvadex aswell though to stop my face/neck from gaining to much weight. first time i pussied out to but next day i thought fk it...i dont regret it either.

    thats mad man, and if you don't regret it that is even better. to be perfectly honest i think one day i will run a cycle, lets hope i have the same outcome as you.

    i was benching 112kg last night but poor form, so im gonna keep on that untill i pick up my form. hopefully move up to 115 next week.
    cheers
