The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Followed that link to the gym in NC. It's actually like 5min from my beach house but....crossfit

 

A lot of these gyms are housed in, or share space with, crossfit facilities. The one in Westminster, MD shares space with "Crossfit Retribution." It is because commercial gyms won't let them host events or monopolize equipment and hours, but the crossfit gyms will.

 

@zacharypaul89 lol

What are your numbers?

 

From December, and down 10lbs from my current body weight (today weighed in at 170)

Bench 290
Deads 365
Squats 350

 

We're pretty comparable, then.

 

You are a little lighter than me right? Maybe not during your "bulk" but I thought you were usually around 150? We gotta rep for the little guys in this thread

 

So the only one I'm close to is @zacharypaul89 ? I'm at 229.6 this morning

 

In March I was at 170 with a 315 bench, 335 squat, 405 dead. Right now I'm back to 150 and I have no clue where those numbers are.

 

You may have just caused him to step off the ledge

There is some big dudes in here. @mightytacoman comes to mind, He's one of the strongest too

 

Womp...now I feel small. Ok - I'm eclipsing 300 on bench and 400 on deads.

 

I feel small.... 5'11 167 with a 260 bench, 325 squat, 375 dead.

 

I wasn't meaning it bad like. I just had hoped I wasn't the only one hanging around in the 200's

 

Im near you, but on the heavier side @mightytacoman is just a tad bigger than me I believe..This pic was taken of me few weeks ago

 

Pre-cut big 3 was:

bench: 330
deadlift: 430
squat: 365 (Actually got this on my cut, which I was very surprised about)

Just got done with upper body this afternoon. I got off at noon and our boss treated us to bbq for lunch. Ate 2 bbq sandwiches covered in cole slaw I was so full when I got off that I came home and took a 2 hr nap and the went to the gym. To make up for the ~1500 calorie lunch, I'm basically only eating protein for the rest of the day lol.

flat barbell bench
cable flies
reverse grip bent-over rows
close-grip lat pull-down
standing Arnold press
bent over dumbbell reverse flies
standing dumbbell front raises
rope trap pulls (?)
bb curls
overhead triceps extensions
standing concentration curls
reverse grip straight bar triceps extensions

Now, time to drink my liver into oblivion tomorrow and Sunday...no ragrets

x2. The only radio I listen to now is classic rock and even the pop stations...it's sad that I'd rather listen to Beiber over bro-country...Zac Brown & Eric Church are about the only mainstream guys I like, as well. For good country, I either listen to the old outlaw stuff or Sturgill Simpson radio on Spotify.

Got up to about 209 in March before my cut and about 16-17% bf. I'm not bulking again until I am below 12% bf...then, the goal is to lean bulk to around 210-215

 

Decided since I've dropped 8 lbs since surgery I'm gonna ride this train and see what happens. Dropped calories to 2100 since I'm not working out. Still plenty of food for me. And see what I end up at when the Ortho does release me to go back to a full workout. @Kerleyfries and I were talking if things go the way they have been ill hit somewhere around 198-205 when it's said and done. Then clean bulk back to 220 and cut to 200 then back to 220 and see what that gets me with and keep doing that cycle until next fall and start evaluating surgery at that point.

I'm thinking at 6'4" 220 is about where I want to end.

 

Big three before accident

Bench 325
Dead 475
Squat 300 :frown:

 

out of that 2100, what does your protein intake look like?

 

230g = 920 cal

Which some days like today it's gonna be around 190-200
