The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

LOL some days i really feel thats how it is

 

So who here has a Tacoma? I currently own a Ram 1500. I have owned 2 Tacomas in the past but continue coming to TW mainly for this thread haha.

 

I own a Tacoma & my previous vehicle was also a Tacoma.

 

As of about 15 mins ago, I officially own 2! I just bought an '03 TRD SR5 4WD and I've now got an '01 PreRunner that I've got to sell lol.

 

Watch out guys, Zach finally upgraded to a 4wd

 

This ^^
First truck was a 95.5 5 lug with the 2.4 and 5 speed, when i graduated I was able to upgrade to my current truck.

Awesome, Double cab or extracab?

 

Extracab

 

Making all kinds of gainzzz

 

All kiiiinds, baby!

 

Looks beautiful!!!

I have a '10 single cab 2wd. Does what I need and I got a great deal with under 7K miles

 

Looks decent, much appreciated. I'll probably give this a whirl.

My understanding is that one really shouldn't do the same lifts every session, plus I'd like to be doing about 40 reps all in all per exercise and right now I'm not doing that with a couple of them.

Plus this would hopefully get me back on some cardio time, I've been slacking on it the past few weeks and really need to shed some pounds.

 

I'd definitely like some abs and forearm stuff if you don't mind, yes. Much appreciated.

I figure I might try something like this one week and DirtyTerp's idea another week, see what feels better.

I really have to start getting back to cardio too..I'd like to lose about 15 pounds more, damn belly!

 

Let's just all hope that you don't drive this one through your local gym.

 

True. A lot of people go in and do the same 3-4 lifts every workout for each group. Variety is key. If I do flat bench and svend press on upper-a, I'll do two different exercises on upper-b. Same goes for reps: Don't always do just 10...sometimes you need to go heavy and do lower reps and sometimes you need to go lighter and do higher reps. I usually do a high and low rep day each week.

Abs:

decline crunches
decline upper ab partial crunches
landmine 180's
spider crawl
3/4 situp
elbow planks
sledgehammer swings
bottoms ups
crossbody crunch
decline reverse crunch
hanging leg raise
hanging leg raise and hold
hanging knee riase
Russian twists

Calves:

seated calve raises
standing dumbbell or barbell calve raises
toe raises
standing one-leg calve raises

Forearms:

bottoms up clean from hang position
cable wrist curl
dumbbell lying pronation
farmers walk
finger curls
palms up/down barbell wrist curl over a bench

For calves, forearms, and abs, I like to do circuits. Pick 3-4 exercises and do them back-to-back-to back for 3-4 sets and around 20-30 reps

 

I remember you saying once to try and do an extra 2-5 reps on the first set, which I've incorporated into most of my routine. I find it helps a lot, worst case I do 2 extra just to get that extra work.

 

There ya go. You always want that last rep to be the absolute last one you can do without dropping the weight on your head

 

Ran a 5k today and placed 1st in the 20-29 age group. Girlfriend got third in hers. Not a bad day despite waking up at 6 on a Sunday.
