The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Some guy in the gym came up to me the other day and asked where I got these veins from (Wanted to say from fucking your mom)... What kind of dumb ass question was that? I obviously work very hard and it payed off. I've been taking classes on cosmetics and my make-up skills drawing veins on me has paid off well.

 

There’s only one way to get veins

 

I must be doing it wrong

 

Ok, gym rats, who wants to do something useful for their workout and come finish this off for me? I'll cut, you carry and stack.


I already moved around 8 tons (guesstimated) on Sunday afternoon, so the 20 ton load is nearly halfway done.

 

Fuck that lol. I help my father-in-law every winter doing that and it leaves me ten times sorer than the gym.

 

That’s bc you a bitch
[sent with echo]

 

Lol. Surprisingly, cutting, loading the 4 foot lengths into my work truck, and then unloading them down at the lower lot where I do my firewood didn't leave me sore at all. I was stiff the next morning, but almost no muscle soreness to speak of. Surprising because I was handling them by hand, rather than with equipment. Every single one of the logs in that lower pile was heaved up there manually.

And I'm not a big dude. 5'7 and 160-ish. And I don't go to the gym. Too boring.

 

Yea i hand shoveled 10 tons of crusher run for a patio and compacted it Saturday and my backs still sore.

 

I grew up as a farm kid. I'll bust ass all day if it means doing something or accomplishing a task, and I'll be happy about it (usually). But 15 minutes in the gym and I'm bored out of my skull and ready to pack my bags. I don't know how you guys do it.

 

I did this for a guy one day, spent like 7 hours loading firewood into a truckbed, driving it down the hill, unloading and stacking it. They were probably 12-18” diameter and 2 foot long. I was sore as shit the next day.

 

I do between 4-6 cord per year, depending on the winter before, splitting and stacking by hand. The first 1/2 cord is rough, but after that I'm usually in the groove and I can work all day and not even feel it the next morning.

Tell you what, though. Nothing like firewood for building up your pinch grip.

 

That’s about the size of most of us in here.

 

That's nothing. When I don't feel like grabbing my keys, and need to move my truck, I just pick my truck up and carry it down the street. Surprisingly, I'm just a little stiff in the morning.

 

Speak for yourself, you pencil necked midget

 

You’re right. There are some of us that are smaller than that. Like you...

 

Texans.

 

Benched 345x1 last night for a new PR

 

I don't know if I've been pushing myself too hard the last 4 days after getting back from not working out for a couple weeks.. but I finished back day this morning, got to work, and just was so fatigued and tired and couldn't focus. Hopefully I'm not getting sick again. Anyone have this happen? I mean all I wanted to do was sleep. I couldn't even process what all I had this morning.

Maybe a good poop will help.

 

I'm 6' and 190
Fatty

I actually like the weight range, just need to exchange some of this body fat for more muscle. My goal is a visible (amount of visibility questionable) 6 pack by the time my girlfriend gets back in January

More so than that, get my cardio and legs endurance set for ski touring. I like trailnrunning (not for very long, just 3 miles or so), but it's getting too cold and snowy here for that...also love xc mountain biking but that's dwindling fast too...damnit
