The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

You're prob doing to much.......your rest days are spent skiing all day? That takes lots of calories above what you need to grow so nothing is happening. Simplify your workouts and just do a few things at a time! HIIT and strength in the same workout is VERY taxing and sucks up tons of calories which you're not replacing!

Sometimes doing less is more!

Try an Upper/Lower split and ONLY do compound lifts (nothing for arms or calves until you have some size to work with). Think Chest, Back and legs ONLY and give it lots of time!

 

Eaf more too. You really aren't eating enough right now to really get big.

 

And size can change with age/metabolism....at 20 something I was a hard 180 to 190 & couldn't gain size. At 40 something, I can't lose the size....248. But still close to the same strength.

 

Blurry, but getting bigger

 

^work those legs man! Upper body is coming along well though..

 

I do. I can't squat yet because I dislocated my hip about 8 months ago and it never fully recovered. Still deadlift over 600. Ill post up a video later this week

 

Ive been doing my schedule im currently doing since november. Started working out religiously since september. Also, the fat I'm talking about is belly/sides. Go figure its at the spot hardest to get rid of.

 

Reason I was eating less is because I wanted to lose the fat and keep the strength if not increase it.

 

So do you guys prefer to go to the gym in the morning or the evening ? I work a mon-fri 8-5 job so my choices are either before work or after i use to go after work but relized i was more likely to come up with a excuse not to go when i was going after work and would end up going on 3-4 times a week. I have now started going before work and love it, there are alot less people at the gym in the morning and i have no excuse not to go so have been going 5 days a week for a month now.

 

I go on my lunch hour.

 

Right when i wake up, when test levels are at there highest

 

Morning for me as well. If I don't go in the morning then I won't go at all that day. Nights are busy and I'm on daddy duty when I get home. I go 3 days a week, but only because my Fiance has school early on TTh so I can't make it.

 

started taking chuck norris tears aka craze hemavol bcaa stack broke all kinds of fucking PRs yesterday.
140lb dumbells on the incline, was 100
295lb barbell flat bench, was 275
435lb squat, was 375
100lb dumbells shoulder press, was 80
225lb clean and jerk, was 185

i felt like my muscles are about to fucking pop out of it's skin this stack is incredible

 

i started off doing my old PR, before i was doing 2 rep max but after the preworkout the creatine and my new lifting routine i was able to do my old PR for 8-10 reps. so i moved up weight till i can only do 1-2 reps and that's what i end up with.

 

little bit more than a month, yesterday was just the first time i was able to do it as you can tell i was pretty excited

 

Exact same situation for me.

 

Im the complete opposite, my legs are like freaking tree trunks, im also super easy to put on weight so i have to constantly watch my macros.
