Have a full week off from training every two months or so. The break will give your body a full recovery and a chance to heal any of those nagging little injuries and pains that are really taking their time to go away.

That it will. Good tip.

Hey guys!

I'm just giving this thread a bump.

Post your tips here, and they may be in the November issue of your favourite mag.

Little tip from me:

Keep a visual diary of your progress - take some photos every month or so - this will maintain your enthusiasm.

Russ.

Nice one, Russ!

Guys (and dolls), why not post some photos in the "Critique my physique" forum here too.
No-one's going to diss you. Everyone here is polite and helpful, and you can gain a lot by the comments you'll get...

P.S. Just don't wear white socks, because Troy's taken out a trademark on that look already.

Cook a meal for 10 people...

Then portion it up, freeze or refrigerate, and eat it all yourself throughout the week!

Saves loads of time, and you still get healthy meals on demand.

The best way to find the ultimate training program that works for you:

Trail & error. Nothin beats it.

I just thought of a tip:

Always make sure you're hydrated before you start your workout. If you start your workout dehydrated it doesn't matter how much water you drink throughout you will not get properly hydrated.

Also, dehydration can cause a significant drop in energy levels.

Here's a tip...add flavour to boring eggs by adding salsa. Im eating it right now and it tastes fkn lovely!
