Hi G

1) No, not really.  There are supplements marketed to help joint problems, but in reality glucosamine will only help if the nature of the joint problem concerns the cartilidge.  What sort of joint aches are they?

2) None of us do mate!  Be patient!

3) I think with your shape, you'd be better suited to the classic class.

cheers for the advice IB, do you think i should keep pushing the weight with the squats or try and aim for more reps with 130 and 140kg and how low do you go down. also do you use leg wraps thanks alot graham

high reps is where the magic is at, get those numbers to a minimum of 15 mate...drop the weight to 125kg and get those 5 extra reps.
 
once a month go for heavy weight and low rep (no fewer than 6).
 
How low do i go down, ass to grass.... feels more comfortable than hovering at parallel.
 
no knee wraps, tried them once with Iaink off here for a leg session and it felt like my knees were being worn away with a rasp file.
 
here's an old vid i made when cricket-fire laid down a challenge lol.

cheers IB that was the plan to night drop the weight and go lower. ive watched a couple of vids of people squating they seem to have their feet pointing outwards slightly i always have them pointing forward will it help me go lower if they are pointed outwards a little thanks graham

i tryed IB advice and squatted lower the evdience will be in the next couple of days if i cant walk i will be pleased

squat

30kg warm up 15reps
60kg 15reps
90kg 12reps
90kg 12reps going to keep to this weight till i can perform 90kg for 15reps really responded to this my legs blew out and they felt smashed

leg press also tried to go lower

120kg 12reps
180kg 10reps
210kg 7reps legs felt f**ked normally do this weight but being more strict i think it was more productive

leg extension

120lbs 15reps
190lbs 12reps
225lbs 8reps performed full movement it felt so much harder

sldl with dumbells

16kg 15repps
18kg 15reps
18kg 15reps

ham curl

120lbs 30reps legs going sooo tight
105lbs 15reps
90lbs 15reps half the weight i normally do but hurting twice as much

seated calves

10kg 35reps
10kg 35reps
10kg 30reps

hack sqaut more for a final pump amd strecth

no weight 20reps as lowas the machine goes
20kg 20reps
20kg 20reps

so this is where i start strict leg training and hopefully more productive instead of bad form and heavy weight here goes.

i,ll be patient keep slogging away might take some more pics friday and compare them to when i started the bulk that might help me see my own progress. just aches in my wrist and elbows i think it just from heavy training. classic it is and much should i bulk too by the rules for my height i cant exceed 72kg thanks james

Dont bulk too much - just grown lean muscle size.  When it comes to making a weight, we can get you right down, no problem.

Don't focus on what you weigh, just grow lean muscle

do i monitor this by using the mirror as long as i,m getting bigger but with some conditioning them i,m on the wright path.

i,m trying to find some new training routines to spice things up have you got any suggestions i can reserach cheers james

Mirror, strength and weight - you can also measure with a tape measure

Every couple of weeks, is probably too frequent to notice any differences on photos.  Monthly would be fine
