i don't really understand some of them like militaries or what ever there called
Googled it, this came up. Took about 20 secs  oh and on the subject of front delt shizz, would this be as good or effective, as ive only got dumbbells at the moment. DB Shoulder presses are a great exercise for developing your delts. Slightly different to a BB shoulder press (military presses) but yes they are very effective. You don't have to follow programs to the letter, work with what you have got.  Paul. P.S it's funny we are talking about home equipment and using what you have got. I've just started training at home again after using gyms predominantly for years. Was quite funny this Friday I went to Decathlon on a quest for some dumbells..... ....Came home with a 200kg of weights, a bar bell, some dumb bells, a multi purpose folding bench and a flipping squat rack!!!!  My second spare bedroom is now a gym ha ha, gona get a chin up bar/dip rack for it next. What was even funnier was fitting Me, the Mrs and all of that equipment in to her Ford KA!!!

Purely out of curiousity I decided to see the weight comparsion: Ford Ka 1.3i 3-door = 1 265 pounds = 573 kilograms. You had more than 1/3 of the car's weight in there! (I'm guessing a lot more with a 20kg oly bar, bench, and extra dumbells). Did the rear suspension springs recoil or is it permenantly lowered now?! Poor thing.

hey, sorry there are 5 pages of this and I haven't got time to trawl through it all at the moment, so I hope this hasn't been mentioned at all already and I hope this is the right thread for this question. I am 15 and at the moment I am in my rugby clubs gym 3/4 times a week doing mostly weight training, I'm pretty in to it now and want to get the most out of it... so, I was wondering what is the best meal to eat afterwards? at the moment I am eating pasta with different things, when i got home tonight I had roast chicken breast with pasta salad and light mayo. is this the correct sort of things? what else is good? (obviously I'm not talking generally as that's already been covered on the first page, more specific to me being 15, if it is any different?) also, is there anything else I can do to get more out of it? Cheers in advance Alex P.s. I am fully aware of the implications of weight training at 15 (stunted growth etc.) but I am already 6' 3" and probably the biggest build (structure wise) you will see in a 15 year old

Ka's weight between 871 - 935kg http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Summary.aspx?model=247&page=2Still a hell of a lot of weight to put in the poor wee motor though. Paul, how's the home gym going? Surely not long before you develop it into a full blown commercial success....... -Gordo

Hey mate sounds like your diet is already pretty clean, if you eat that kind of stuff regularly then worrying about calories and proportions of carbs/fat etc is likely unecessary.
That said, if you are hitting the weights fairly hard/regularly then your body will need much more protein than normal. So chicken is good, but the rest of the day you want to eat more protein rich foods. And pasta contains practically none. So more meat, cottage cheese, nuts, beans etc etc. Maybe a protein shake or two. No need to go mad with it, IIRC you should eat about 1-1./5g of protein per pound of bodyweight when weight training.
ok cheers mate, I have a protein shake after every work out at my gym anyways, but i guess i will probably start on the pistashio (sp?) nuts and peanuts again  plus beans/ham on toast? haha, making me hungry  Alex

Hey, Few questions somone is bound to know on here, ive been doing weights seriously for around 6 months now and happy how things are going (think im well hooked). At the mo im training 6 days a week for 1hr 30mins each session, mostly weights but i do swim after every session not for fitness I think it helps getting rid of lactic acid and stops me aching so much the next day. But.... 1, After a hard session my hands tend to shake im not sure if its bacause my body is being starved protein!? 2, My aggression goes through the roof i realise its from the testosterone can i kerb it anyway or subdew it somhow?? (my girlfriend would be happy if i could) 3,Im constantly hungry proteen shakes dont do much for me, Is my body craving food?? 4,I always need a crap when I run, As a endurance training leader I find it quite annoying! I like the sound of doing a six week program and posting "a before and after" on here it would be great to get a few of us to do it and really see the affects over that time. Anyway if anyone could find answers or knows i would be greatfull for letting me know  Cheers (good post paul!)

6 days? Plus swimming? That's a hell of a lot of exercise. Do you work different groups, or do the same thing each time? You really need a days' break between heavy lifting to get your muscles back to full strength, so if you're doing the same muscle groups each day that may be the reason for the shaky hands. You need your recovery time, with plenty of sleep. Mix it up a bit too. I'll do dumbell shoulder presses one day, and reverse military presses the next time, if you don't do something like that already. Alternatively, you may not be eating enough. I cycle to work 5 days, (5 miles off road each way... sometimes on a fully rigid single speed,) plus 3 heavy training sessions, plus hacking my bike around at weekends when I get a chance, and I eat a huge amount. The smaller amounts of food 6 times a day mentioned in Paul's other post has helped, so try that. Oh, and you mention protein quite a lot. Base your diet around it, but certainly pay a lot of attention to the other factors too. I have about 200g+ of protein in an average day, but around 300-350g of carbs due to the amount of exercise I do. I don't really drink protein shake too much. A scoop in my breakfast smoothie, but that's it. I have a protein bar after training, but have lots of chicken, tuna etc., as well as brown rice, pasta, fruit and cereal bars in my normal food habits. Basically, try eating more, and possibly cutting down on your weight training a bit. Stick with the swimming. You may even see a benefit, crazy as it may sound!
