I feel like if Zyzz isnt uber-trolling some people are gonna try to use his death as an example of why excessive weight training and supplements are evil...
 
^ There is a HUGE difference between GNC supplements and steriods (which he takes). Excessive weight training is evil?

A major newspaper in Austrailia got confirmation and ran a story on it. I think its pretty legit. But damn dude was only 22, had is whole life ahead of him

^ I think it was a tabloid newspaper and they got their information and sources from Facebook.

Goes great in an omelette.


But under high heat, olive oil (and most vegetable oils) break down and lose their health benefits. Oils with saturated fats such as Coconut Oil or Palm Oil do not break down over high temps and contain MCT's, which can help you become/stay thin.
It seems like coconut oil doesnt get a lot of recognition, but Im thinking it might be the way to go, despite the vast majority of people recommending olive oil

You might be thinking of me.  I did 365x6 a few weeks ago.  I dont know what you classify as raw, but I only used chalk.  (No straps, belt, or suit)
 
I saw Zyzz out in a Fitness First in Parramatta, Sydney Australia - this was about 1.5-2 months ago..

The Australian Foreign Affairs confirmed the death of a 22yr old man in Thailand which doesn't exclusively indicate it is him. That whole stigma of 'its in the news - its real' isn't exactly concrete these days.

Another rumour floating around points to this stunt as a way of killing of his character. Perhaps he got sick of his alias and found a professional contract or something similar along the lines of that.

He was a good guy outside of playing his character from what ive heard from circles.

Fit it into your macros.
Or ask you how much that item of food will assist you in your goals.

Getting over the immediate pleasure of taste is a challenge that will take you into greater success than six pack abs.

Take it as a life lesson

no this is a myth. eggs won't raise your cholesterol, eat up



Mmm... Everything I've heard and read says otherwise. Sources?
dietary cholesterol levels dont actually raise blood cholesterol levels
plus there are several kinds of cholesterol.......general knowledge regarding cholesterol is very very poor , a lot of it is based on faulty studies done like 50+ years ago

How to improve my bench press?? Any tips???? I max out right now at like 165..... Pretty new to weight lifting, but I feel embarrassed seeing dudes half my size pushing 200+.
 
Pretty interesting article:

t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance_nutrition/the_top_10_post_workout_nutrition_myths&cr=

Among other things it touches on the post workout nutrition someone asked about on the last page, I feel kinda stupid but kinda supported after reading this... it usually takes just under an hour for me to get home and down a shake.

Keep benching?

How many sets/reps are you doing? I hope youre also doing a standing overhead press. Reading Starting Strength if you havent might help you on your form on some of the major lifts, including this one. Heres a quick link though: http://www.builtfit.com/e...l/standing-barbell-press
