    I’ve trained at John Reed Fitness and Euforie Smíchov

    John Reed wouldn’t let me pay per session but I managed to convince the guy to give me a couple of free trial sessions, its big fitness style gym but has some decent equipment and is pretty nice.

    Euforie was a small cheap place, friendly staff, didn’t have a huge range of equipment but enough to get by and the downstairs has free bars and plenty of room.

    From what I remember the only bodybuilding gym I could find was quite far out from central Prague.

    Think you have answered your own question, if you like the idea of an upper\lower do an upper\lower.

    Here is an example of a workout I quite enjoyed which can be run 4 days a week (can have different rotations and exercises etc)

    Workout A

    Chest – Incline Bench Press (Barbell or Dumbbell) , Machine Press
    Back – Chins, Bent Rows (Barbell or Dumbbell), Deadlifts
    Shoulders – BB Shoulder press, Side Lateral Raises

    Workout B

    Legs – Squats, Leg Press, Leg Curls, Standing Calf Raises,
    Seated Calf Raises
    Biceps – Barbell Curls, Preacher Curls
    Triceps – Pressdowns, Extensions

    Do 1 to 2 warm up sets followed by 2 work sets to failure
    for 8 to 12 reps (reduce the weight by 10% on the second set if needed).

    When it comes to front delts I find machines are best as you can really work on the mind muscle connection. For me Hammer strength incline shoulder press or incline smith press always seem to work well. Then I might rotate some seated BB presses or DB presses.

    I think warming up is a very individual thing and there is no set way to do it. Personally my warm-up might be 10,6,4,2

    November 30, 2018 at 11:58 am in reply to: Training abs

    twice a week one body-weighted session and one weighted session for me

    Decline Crunches
    Cable crunches
    Reverse Crunches
    Knee raises
    Saxon Bends
    Side bends

    Are staples for me, I notice a huge difference if I don’t train them and I’ve noticed I have better Ab development then most of the guys I know who suggest not training them. But guess it depends what look you like, I quite like having thick Abs.

    November 25, 2018 at 5:49 pm in reply to: Client Essentials?

    Depends on your client base and what sort of rep you want (niche market etc) also depends if you have a decent client base or need clients, and more clients equals more money. Personally, I would offer the services and let the client decide, id suggest getting blood work but not demand it as it will limit your client base massively (If giving cycle information etc then perhaps demand bloods)

    I generally just ask for the basics, weight, height, goals, history, current nutrition, allergies etc etc

    November 15, 2018 at 2:40 pm in reply to: Digestion Help

    Rather than start a new thread ….. the last few weeks I’ve had the complete opposite to the above, im extremely bloated, constipated and my stools are dark and sticky (we ares talking a good 10 mins wiping) I’ve not really changed much in my diet and only added a few supps, I did recently pull my back out (not sure if that can cause digestion issues)

    Diet is
    1: Eggs,Oats, Greens, Whey

    2: Peanut butter and quark

    3: chicken , olive oil, broccoli

    4: 3: chicken , olive oil, broccoli

    5: Cereal, Whey and almond milk (PWO) or if not training fatty fish or Steak with greens.

    6: Icelandic yogurt, whey, Dark choc

    Drink 4-6 litres of water a day.

    I have recently added activated charcoal tablets, ALA and Vitamin C to my supps. Could it be the charcoal?
