The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Man if only you could see me haha I follow that majorly . My houses eating bill goes up a ton when Im back from college lol but yes for sure on the metabolism thing

 

Man that's awesome! You're 5'8" and 195 lbs?!! I'm always struggling to go over 158 lbs.

I think what is hurting me the most though is that I can't bench as much as I used to due to a bad/weak shoulder that was the aftermath of a stroke I had a few years ago. It affects my overhand wide grip pull ups, and heavy benching.

Just to give a comparison of before stroke and after stroke strength, I used to be able to bench 95 lb dummbells (I don't know if "bench" is the right word for dummbells) 5 times, and was able to rep 135 (only 45 plate on each side of the bar) 30 times with perfect form.

My buddies used to make "chuck norris" jokes about me cuz I was the most fit person in our battalion. Got recognized in front of the entire battalion too, just another guy and myself out of over 180+ Marines, for being the most fit. 20 pull ups, 17:50 3 mile run, good shit!!!

Now I can barely do 8 reps with 135 on the bench.

I can still curl 45 lbs 5x with perfeft form though. and I've started working on squats again.


It just sucks that my shoulder holds keeps me from making any good gains, but I'm trying to make up for it in legs now. Still working on my rotator cuff muscles for stability though.

 

Squat squat and squat some more! My upper body keeps growing the more I squat!

 

tis true, 200lbs+ doesn't just float, you gotta hold it (pull it) to your back.

 

300+ lbs over a 150lb frame is where it's at!

 

So I got the Kre-Alkalyne guys. It says to take 1-2 in the morning and 1 prior to workout. On my days off (Saturday and Sunday) should I still take the morning pills? I would say I do but I'm not sure.

 

I like how you gave us zero frame of references. 300 pounds of what?

 

I like how you apparently can't read because we were talking about squatting on the last page

 

I used to take two after workouts and one in the morning, and just 1 in the morning on off days.

Be prepared to drink a fuckton of water

 

How's the bulking going?

 

That has nothing to do with reading. It has more to do with not wanting to click back a page. Either way good work.

 

stopped creatine and just stacking jack3d with protein and animal paks, as of yesterday I'm back to 152 (cut down to 145 last month) and got my 1 rep max on the bench to 250. Just gotta work on legs more, just been running a lot and doing light calf raises/extensions

but so far for having a gym body and getting paid to go to the beach!

 

Oh boy. Lay off the roid's Patrick.

Lol PK, really? One click for a page back?

 

Please do, she says you work her too hard!

 

I want rugby legs!
