hahaha i always thought it was cheating too. theyll learn someday....hopefully

 

I want one of these in the house-just not filled with water

 

How long will you guys give a program to produce results before you expect results?

I have been doing circuit training for a month or so. But I don't feel/see any results. I was told that this type of working out will gain size... It consist of high rep (20) training with failing at around 15-18. A total of 3-4 exercises for three sets.

Any thoughts?

 

It's take me 3 years to gain 40lbs of pure muscle lol

But I can see results when I switch from 5x5's to 10x10's. I notice more striation in chest shoulders in abs, vs a little bigger muscle

 

What are you eating? For me it boils down to what's on my plate. Want to be cut, eat less. More muscle, eat more.....regardless of the program.

 

I'd suggest doing a normal heavy weight routine for a couple months before doing any type of crossfit/circuit training. Heavy weights three days a week and some form of cardio 4 to 5 days a week.

After at least 3 to 4 months of doing that steady, then I would think about switching to crossfit/circuit training. You need to build a strong core before doing really athletic moves or you risk injury.

 

anyone else here have gym phobia?

 

Did at the beginning, but not anymore at all.

 

i just have always been self concious and never lift as good in public, i dont know why cause i have no reason to be

 

Just crank one out in the change room before hand.. will put you more at ease.

That was effin' hilarious man

 

WOW, I haven't been on a bench in months shoulder won't let me.

I just stick to push ups now, -_-

Is it that the physics between bench press and push ups are completely different?

 

I'm usually the opposite and tend to do more cause I show off a little (more pull-ups than before etc).

Personally, I don't like the gym scene as there's too many people and there's always some weirdo watching while you workout.

At home i have a 350lb olympic weight set (but no space for a rack or bench) or hit the park for sprints and calisthenics!

 

Got hurt today. Pulled something in my abdominal doing crunch machine drop sets. Any advise what to do? I'm not in pain but I'm in dis comfort
