The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Oly lifting is the SHIZ!! All I will add is this: form over weight, every time, with no exceptions. Always make sure it is a quality rep. Although I have been guilty of this myself, I hate someone celebrating a new PR that looked like absolute shit. Form, form, form!! Start light, work your technique and find the right speed sequencing throughout the lift.

Anyone seen this fuckery?

 

That dude is a total douche. I would kick him out of my CrossFit box!

 

This is why people hate cross fit…."If I did MMA in a ballet class I’m sure people would stare at me too." hahahahahha

Seems like you usually do the same rep ranges. 12, 10, 8, 6. Is that just because you add weight or is there another benefit.

I usually do 5 or 10 depending on my goals for the day. And 3 if it's really heavy and I want form

 

Mine showed to have shipped out of Pennsylvania. Arrived a couple hours ago.

 

Anyone tried Neon preworkout? They sent a sample with my order. Might give it a shot today.

 

I usually rep the same range.. Ive always seen the ranges go this way... but you can do heavy load days or light load days and really mix up the ranges. Honestly I should change my rep ranges more frequently but it doesnt settle right with me sometimes haha

 

I do lighter weight, high reps, so my ranges are typically 20, 20 or 15, 15, 10

 

I love the commentary

 

I start out lighter at 12 reps and add weight after each set. Maximum hypertrophy comes from rep ranges of 6-12 and my workout covers all of it: light weight, high reps to start with and end doing heavy weight, low reps...best of both worlds!

I tried a free sample I got as well and it wasn't too bad

Also, I started watching Pumping Iron before we left for the Braves game...fucking amazing!

 

Tried Pre Jym workout the other day...it was awesome but damn its expensive.

Used the Curse as well, stuff is incredible too

 

I change every week. Start at 12-15 end at 3-5. Stole from Stoppani's 12 week shortcut to size

new PR on seated DB press, 5x65's

but for the last month i've had this weird pain in my shoulder (directly opposite my armpit). i doesn't really inhibit my lifting, just hurts like someone is sticking a needle under my muscle
i think it might be nerve damage from when i got a really bad stinger earlier this year.....oh well

 

Look who decided to join the party!

 

dude is hilarious, he pretty much rips everybody in the fitness industry a new one. you gotta watch his hate mail videos on youtube

 

i'm still mad about the thread title not being changed.....but i just can't quit you guys
