The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I'm going to download that song and play it when I do legs so I can feel like that dude looks, FREAGIN JACKED! HAHA

seriously though, that dude's a beast!

Would it be too much to work out legs twice a week? I've been doig it just once a week.

 

There are routines that call for it 3x a week. I did it for awhile. It kills ya inside and out. Loved it, but I was spending too much time in the ONE rack we have at the gym so I had to change routine.

 

I did a routine where I did 3x10 squats before every workout...gets the blood flowing and the testosterone moving through your body. I have some of my best workouts after those 3 sets.

How much weight?

 

135-205

Lately I've been doing it every other day, with 225-250.

 

How many times a week would you go to the gym in those days?

 

You can work any part twice a week....2 to 3 days rest is all that is needed between workouts.

 

4-5 days a week.

 

Oh wow thanks for all that info guys!!! I will definitely up my leg work outs now!!!

 

Good lookin out!

Throughout the year I have been changing up my workout schedule. It started with straight body building, then to power lifting with occasional running, and now to powerbody building and HIT.
My schedule:
M: Stronglifts w/o. Chest, tris, calves
T: Back, biceps, HIT for 10-20 min
W: Stronglifts w/o, whatever I am feeling (I.e. more chest, cleans, ect.)
Th: Shoulders, HIT for 10-20min
F: Legs, Calves, any upper body not sore
Sat and Sun: Rest (and by rest I usually mean whole day skiing)

I have been watching my weight very closely now. More than I have ever in my life.
This is my eating schedule in a nutshell (generally):
Breakfast: 3 eggs, yogurt, fruit, granola, milk
Lunch: Whatever I am feeling. Nothing unhealthy though. Chicken breast (grilled), or fish, or lean meat, sometimes a salad with olive oil, fruit, milk.
Dinner: most likely chicken breast and salad. Milk
All the milk I drink is either skim or chocolate post workout.

I mostly want to get stronger, but I have lost no fat it seems. Im always constantly 146 + or - 2 pounds. What am I doing wrong? I'm worried with how little I eat compared to how I used to that I wouldn't even be able to really gain mass. Doesn't make sense im losing no fat.

 

If It helps I'm the far left I'd assume. The "cant seem to lose fat" got me.

 

I'm by no means giving up just trying to learn more about what I need to do/ what I'm doing wrong. I read this article: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/fat-loss-metabolism-needs-cheat and I really liked this paragraph:

I feel like this is whats going wrong. I agree with you that my body is in a preservation state so to speak. Honestly my goal would be be gain mass and lose fat, but what should I do? Continue to full body train, or just go on a fat loss freak fest?

Also I don't feel fatigued or loss of energy; thats stayed the same so far.

And my height: 5'6.... ish

 

How long have you been doing this schedule? You're not going to be dropping pounds or fat right away. It's a gradual transformation and as the saying goes "muscle weighs more than fat." You're probably gaining strength and muscle, but the fat is slowly reducing.

Where is the fat that you are talking about? That also makes a difference as belly/side fat is tough to completely get rid of.
