that doesn't make sense...if your wrists hurt when doing squats you must be doing the squats wrong and supporting a lot of the weight with your wrists...re-adjust so that virtually all the weight rests across your shoulder blades and upper back...the hands and wrists only stabilize the bar with VERY little force (maybe 2-3 lbs total?)

well if you don't feel pain, keep going. Your training assistant is wrong - size of wrists doesn't matter...age of bone including calcification and tendon/ligament strength are what matters here. A gigantic wrist with bad ligaments/tendons and weak bone structure will break 10 times easier than a small wrist with strong ligaments/tendons and good bone strength.




also please don't give advice in my thread, that is very impolite.

I generally feel awkward holding the bar when I squat so I put my hands either on top of the plates or through them, but I have really long arms.

if you can stabilize through that method it is fine.

Hey Raynor,

I registered just to ask a simple question about diet. I'm weighing about 190 pounds and pretty short at 5'7ish. so Im pretty fat. Have about 20-25% body fat. Anyways due to my school expenses and other life expenses, I cant spend any money on food whatsoever. So pretty much Im stuck eating whatever my parents buy. However, because my parents do tend to make a lot of junky greasy food(Part of the reason why I have man boobies) I decided to restrict my diet to two things that I will continue and force myself to eat for a prolonged time(Because we have an abundance of these foods always), and I wanted to just ask you if this type of diet will still benefit my end goal of becoming fat to ripped.

These two things are.
Plain white tofu w/ rice
6-9 hard boiled eggs w/ or w/o rice
3x a day
No diet, no juice, no nothing, just water.

My friends told me tofu had some really clean and good protein and was not very fatty, and also he told me eggs were a good source of protein also. I already have a gym membership and plan to do strength training 3 days a week and eventually when my body can handle it, throw in cardio every other day I'm not working out, like swimming or jogging.

Are there any big flaws to this diet, and/or my workout scheme for becoming ripped?

Would really appreciate any good feedback, as I plan to get my lazy butt off my computer chair for once and get cracking as soon as possible.

without offense to you - this is possibly one of the worst diets I've ever seen.

tofu = soy and soy is estrogenic. This is terrible for men - do NOT eat.

also that diet is horribly unbalanced and unhealthy.

please refer to the following (a few pages ago):

Can yOu, by continuous prolonged consumption, develop an "addiction" for multi vitamins, not a psychlogical, but a physical.
Will your body operate around the mv?

interesting question.

your body never will become reliant on a multivitamin, but it still is a good idea to cycle it every now and again...try any of these:

1. 6 days on 1 day off
2. 2 weeks on 2 days off
3. 1 month on 3 days off
4. 3 months on 1 week off

I've been having problems with the joints in my pinky finger on the left hand. I have circled where the pain is occurring. It started over the christmas holidays where i took part in a lot of hockey games for about 2 weeks straight. It happened from gripping the hockey stick for 4+ hours at one time. It's been a few weeks since christmas and i still have pain whenever i grip something with considerable force, and I was wondering what would be a good treatment for this sort of thing. Any good supps i should know about or specific foods? It's really not a terrible pain but it has become somewhat of an annoyance and i'd like to have full strength of my finger back. thanks for the time
