I miss killer leg days this ankle shit is taking forrrrrrrrrrrrrreverrrr to heal

We are basically the same person lol.

Never heard of any carpet shit lol; that must be a North GA thing

Best advice I've ever heard

Not all doctors are geniuses...Like Aaron said, if you feel good at your weight, don't stress. And why would the doctor say muscle doesn't add weight lol? Muscle is 18% more dense than fat, so adding muscle and losing fat simultaneously will make you heavier. I went to the doctor for a routine checkup at like 11% bf and around 175 a few years ago and he said, at 5'11", I should weigh like 150 lbs and that I was overweight lol. Basic guidelines for BMR and being overweight don't really translate over to weightlifters. Also, with as much as you bust your ass watching your cholesterol and doing cardio and all that, I bet you're in great shape. If I were you, I'd still try to lose the fat, but I wouldn't stress about it...also, I'd stop smoking lol

Y'all already know...

Doug's 4-Day Split <---best beginner/intermediate workout there is, partner



Also, where's @precoma been?????????????

 

I vote getting out of the house and doing anything that challenges you physically. Since you are just starting out I would say goto the gym 3 times a week and do some good walks in the off days. If you want to shed weight fast then start guzzling water all day, every day. Once you body gets used to lifting you can up the days/amount of lifting. You are gonna feel like shit (in a good way) for awhile.

 

Gettin engaged and shit

 

Will buy my chicken in GA then

You have to get out more and explore

Is that a valid excuse?? I don't think so

 

I don't ever scroll through FB or IG anymore, so I'm pretty disconnected, aside from talking to folks on here or in person lol. I just went and looked at his IG...our Corey is growing up. Welcome to the engaged life, brotha!

I go up that way about once a year, but it's not for carpet lol. I might start going more frequently now that trout season has no end

 

Some solid lifting advice.

 

Downloaded some more Two Steps from Hell and Audiomachine. Ready to hit some back and then suffer through finals.

 

I'm amped up for today..last night I saw Hellyeah, Papa Roach, and Godsmack..

 

welcome

 

Wow....we sound like twins. I'm 6' and 258lbs. I can bench/squat a small car but due to the love of beer I'm a 36" waist.

 

Holy crap those are expensive! Cancel your order and invest in a bench, power rack , oly bar, and bumper plates. Then add in dumbbells later.

 

I'm a 30


also, bought a nubby foam roller

good god, it's orgasmic

 

A tight 34 here. I was a 30 back in middle school

 

34-36 currently, depends on the brand.

I was 38-40 but couldn't pull my damn pants up where they should be..no I wasn't sagging either haha.

 

my waist size hasn't grown much since high school but i've gained 30lbs

my old clothes are tight around the quads now though

 

I vary from a 30-32. Since I've been cutting I'm back down to a 30 for right now.

 

Another cock pushup in the books.

 

Im barley a 30" waist but i have to buy 32" my quads are a 25" and booty is too big so i just avoid pants ha my waist doesnt grow lol so all my shorts have to be stretchy and have the side slits cut in them ha...these are 32s and way to big for my waist bit tight in every other region

 

on your clean setup, is your bar placement farther forward compared to your DL setup?
