Single Arm pullups are fantastic, as well as isolation high row machines

 

Shoulders and shrugs always jack me up....right now I can't even keep my head straight, there's a huge knot in a trap muscle.

 

been puking my guts out the past 2 days... fucking flu

i swear i've lost like 20 pounds

 

Damn, sorry to hear that man!

Easiest way is alternate strength days with cardio days. Full body compound lifts will get you strong and big faster than spitting body parts, but depends who you ask.

I've been doing Wendler 5/3/1 with 2 strength days and 2 days of hill sprints. Trying to get stronger but keep my conditioning high as I've lost most of it.

Do you have any experience lifting? If not Starting Strength is another good place to start!

 

Just completed CrossFit Garage Games on Saturday..
Took 3rd in my gym and 18th in the state of Texas!



Haven't looked back since leaving a weight lifting gym. Nothing natural about moving weights connected to a cable.

 

So.. how long should someone bulk for? I've been bulking over 8 months. Trying to reach over 200# which I estimate about 3 years. So do I continue to bulk for the next 2.5 years until I reach my weight?

 

Clean gains can go on until you reach goal size

 

dayum dude! congrats! keep that shit up

 

Nice! I hate the gym as well, but Crossfit is out of my price range at this time. I'll reevaluate that at the end of the month when I get a raise, but $150 a month around here is a lot. I love the workouts though and it'll help me keep the pounds off more than just the gym.

 

2 days 20 pounds I think I'll try that diet
J/k man I hope it gets better

But I seriously gotta start working out somehow and eating better the weight I had lost I gained back in the past month already

 

Its not the end all be all but it sure is a good routine and work out for those looking for that kind of shape and fitness.

 

Oh gee I have a friend like that, he always brings his gf. Every other word out of her mouth, babe your so strong, omg babe your so hot lifting this much weight

 

I had a previous roommate who was like this with his gf. They also used baby voices

 

Remember if you keep maintain muscle mass and then cut, you will look bigger with a ripped body than a non defined body. Not sure what body % fat your are but at 200lbs you may have to shed 25lbs fat to get a ripped look. And thats what its all about.

Lose the weight super slow so you keep all your muscle. Long process.

 

that's awesome! those dudes a freaking fast and nimble
