The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

about since freshman year of college so.... maybe 3.5-4. used to weigh 120 senior year of HS and now weigh as of yesterday post meals 172lbs. Just trying to be a bulkly/but somewhat cut build.

 

Yes, I was known as the floating torso in college... especially one who played soccer. (its getting fixed now). Leg 2x a week. squat everyday.

yeah.... this too, I get to situated with routines. I fixed this and now am just going straight through to a bulk.

 

24, 315 ehhhh maybe a throw out number. probably 290-295 is a better to be realistic. 315 was when I was close to 185 last year.

I'll have to get a video up or something to prove it. Monday is chest day i'll try to remember.

 

5’8 and benched 325 at 170 before I fucked up my shoulder

 

That's impressive!
Just classic when people nonchalantly throw out #'s..

 

Woah, check out Guy Fieri

We are similar height/weight...

Bench 300
Dead 405 (was 430 last spring during my bulk but I can't pull it today)
Squat 350

It's all on IG for you fact checkers

Unlike this BS

 

No one wants to see your Luke Bryan gym bro quotes on IG. Fuqoff

 

pro athletes don't count. They are on juice

 

Thats not very sepecific.

Around what weight and BF%?

Do you have strength goals?

Do you ever want to compete or just looking for lifting a few days a week when you can fit it in?

I LOVE Layne Norton. One of my idols, but his PHAT plan seems more geared for people who are intermediate lifters or people with more physique minded goals. He does a lot of volume (I'm exhausted just reading the plan lol). It is a plan that requires a lot of work out of someone if they just want to be a weekend warrior at the gym.

Pick a plan tailored to your specific goals.

 

You don't need to prove anything to anybody but yourself.

Don't waste your time with online pissing contests haha

 

You're right Tony!

 

So I think we have my final numbers dialed in after last nights fuck off session at the gym.

Opening

275 Bench
400 Squat
555 deadlift

2nd lift obviously depending on how first goes:

315 bench
485 Squat
600 deadlift

3rd final same as before

335-350 Bench
500-515 Squat
635-650 deadlift.

Of course I still have to convert everything over to kilos to know my exact weights. But if everything goes how we expect it to (we know it won’t) that’s the pecking order.

1st meet total

1470-1515 meet total.

 

Newp and I hate it. I've already got all my tools laid out and everything so I can start as soon as I get home from work. Stock trucks are for nerds.

That was like 9 years ago. I bet I was 140 and my bench max was probably around 95 lbs lol. 75 lbs heavier and added 245 lbs to my bench since then. Now you've got a post a pic of pre-lift Derick lol.

Similar circumstances. I was 140 when I graduated.

Why you squat everyday? Do u even recovery, bro?

Lol that's the drummer of the band Anti-Flag. Amy's cousin used to manage a band that was on Warped Tour and we got to hang out with all of them backstage. Fun times.

 

What set up are you going with?

I haven't lifted my Taco yet... but soon.
OME and Dakars are my pick though.

 

I went with the Bilstein/Toytec and AAL 3" lift on my previous 2 Tacomas, so I decided to stick with that

 

The guy on the left looks like a young version of guy fieri

 

Oh, whoops...missed it. Sry. I didn't read that far back

 

I just showed a girl at work that pic of how small I was and the first thing she said was, "Oh my gosh, that guy looks like the guy from the cooking show!"
