Mini Forklift Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 What's your current total in lbs dude?913 is my current competition best, I could hit a little more in the gym but obviously on the day of the meet you're probably going to lose a little strength by the time you get to the DL's Squat 264Bench 231Deadlift 418 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cown Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Glad to see you had a good christmas with the family. Chances are I won't be on again for new years, so enjoy that as well! Do you stay in with the kids or go out somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Way to get in there for a post holiday workout. Impressive numbers too man! Good resting pulse rate also. I think mine is usually in the high 50's if i'm not doing a fair amount of cardio and/or laying off caffeine. Here's to 2013 and more gains!

Mini Forklift Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Cheers! I reckon 2013 is going to be great, I'm excited for what it will bring.I've just arrived in Wanaka, having a New Year vacation with the family. 420km away from Christchurch so it was a decent drive! It's beautiful though, middle of nowhere and about as peaceful as it gets. Just about to pour a beer and start unwinding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Heading down to Queenstown for the day, thoroughly relaxing out here! We have a gym at our villa but it's pretty basic, going to hit an arms session later as there's not enough plates & dumbbells for me to do much else haha. Looking forward to getting back into the heavy stuff but I must say I'm enjoying the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well I've decided to stop putting it off and get to work on developing some of my own supplements. I'm more or less at the start of my research but my aim is to come up with at least a couple of products that are as strong and effective as I'm able to make them. You've only got to flick through the pages of the fitness mags; there's so many supplements out there today that over-promise and under-deliver, I'm sure I can come up with something that gets the job done without the hype and shiny labels. I'm prepared to pour the money into this and I'm quite excited TBH. I have a few guys that will be my trial subjects but really have no idea how long it will take before I end up with a 'finished' product. But gotta start somewhere...

Cown Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I would be a test subject if I could! haha Sounds like you had a great new years. I'm excited to hear more about these supplements! Are you going to start with just protein, or do a variety of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 A protein and a good Pre-Wo/muscle gain supplement will be what I'm going to look at first. New territory for me but exciting stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got a couple of PM's (from another forum) from a well known IFBB Pro BB'er and I thought the info was useful enough to post up here as well. Some of you might be able to take something from it Hey MF- Do you have any feelings/opinions on the use of systemic enzymes like Wobenzym? I used it years ago and felt great...all my aches and pains went away and I slept like the dead. The only thing I noticed at the time was that I felt really flat. Granted, I was following a keto diet at the time and flat wasn't too uncommon, but I felt even flatter than usual!Not familiar with the product but from having a look it seems to be a combination of digestive enzymes? Makes perfect sense to me and actually a good thing for a BB'er to be taking seeing how they often tend to eat large meals at regular intervals. Products such as the one you mentioned would have a host of benefits including things like reducing inflammation, bloating and flatulence (common among the BB'ers I have worked with haha), indigestion, food allergies and/or intolerance and pancreatic insufficiency (the inability for the pancreas to secrete enough enzymes into the duodenum). Wobenzym would help to allow the breakdown of food in the digestive tract as there are specific enzymes required to break to the food down into their component parts (carbohydrates/proteins/fats) for absorption and utilisation by the body. If your digestive system is working optimally then everything else should be improved as well, possibly why you might have been sleeping better whilst you were taking it. Hey thanks Jim. From what I understand, these enzymes are supposed to be taken on an empty stomach are meant to work in the bloodstream rather than the digestive tract. I've heard them described as "a vacuum cleaner for your blood" Supposedly they can digest/eat up shit floating around in your blood and help your body get rid of it. I know they are HUGELY popular with people with cancer, immune disorders and thos wishing to reduce pain and inflammation. The product was originally produced in Germany by a company called Mucos Pharma but can be purchased in the US as Garden of Life has the rights to manufacture it here. I guess what I would like to know (and I know this may sound meat headish) is would it be possible to decrease inflammation too much? To the point where it might interfere with muscle growth?I can believe that about the enzymes cleaning up the blood. I really don't have an answer for your question regarding decreasing inflammation to the point of interfering with muscle growth. My logic would suggest that it could be a possibility, as I'm thinking that major reductions in inflammation would have an impact on the white blood cells (they release phagocytes which consume the damaged cells ~ less inflammation would cause the phagocytosis to be reduced). As your WBC helps to run things like immunity/activation of T cells and helps control vasodilation of blood vessels (due to release of histamine) there may be a chance that the mechanisms and/or process of muscle growth could be affected.

Mini Forklift Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 A few pics from the holiday (sorry I don't have the time to resize them all). Apartment was luxury, weather was hot (apart from one day of rain) and the company was unbeatable..

Mini Forklift Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks Mike. Yep, lots of snow-covered mountains where we were. That last pic where everyone (except me) is sat in the spa pool, the gym is in the building off to the left. Dumbbells only went up to 22.5kg and I could only load up 90kg on the bar, I did a couple of easy sessions but it was pretty improvised to say the least. I've been to Snowden before, cool place. I did a hike around there on a day off from a charity bike ride I was doing at the time, was lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
