Have heard that it is a quality supplement [b]for people who want to get endurance and fitness up but don't want to lose muscle mass[/b]. Anyone ever used it? found it useful? shit ? etc..?<br />

By the way, Finchley played Fullers this weekend in the league. Stuffed them 40 odd to 9. Fullers look like a team that is going down to me.<br />

whaddya expect, without me & scott playing in the backrow, and you injured on the sideline, the club has nothing!!  😁

Deadlifting is the single best exercise you can do for overall strengh. In fact, one can build an entire strength program around 3 exercises: deadlifts, squats and bench. I used to do this regularly--it's called "the big 3".<br />
<br />
Proper form is everything. lift with your legs, NOT your back. Don't be a hero and go for weights you can't handle. Start light, get your form correct, then increase the weight.<br />
<br />
Brings a tear to my eye, this does. I haven't been able to deadlift since having serious back surgery. But in my heyday, I was doing reps with 400+ pounds. Those days are gone. <br />
<br />
Good luck, and be sure to include lots of rest in between sessions. Do too much deadlifting with not enough rest, and you could be in trouble. You need to be careful with these. Take it from somebody who has been there.

yes, that is the sets by the body part, and yes, press as heavy as you can for 15 reps.  then next set you might only get 12 reps, so you should lower your weight slightly, and so on!

Got a free Saturday coming up so am going to be doing some of this jazz.<br />
<br />
We have a circuit which conssist of 8 sets of the following:<br />
<br />
20 squats<br />
20 push ups<br />
20 sit ups<br />
20 leg raises<br />
20 bounds from lunging positoon (alternate legs, both legs count as 1 rep)<br />
<br />
Will then move onto the ineterval running.
