Nice man impressive for your weight. altho it was a little high

 

Good set Sean

 

also wanna ask does that hurt your spine? the bar looks kinda high.

 

x2 I generally low bar squat. But high bar squat def helps in doing atg squats.

 

Pussy! Although I understand the knee injury issue for yourself. But I see all these HS fucks that squat like that and I just wanna punch em in the face. They are all like " YEAH I FUCKING DID 3 PLATES!" Alot easier to squat when you don't go parallel...

I have the bar that high always, squeeze your traps together and you can't feel anything.

 

x2 mine sits across my traps as well

 

I guess i have pussy traps

 

so it it a decent workout routine to do isolate days?

so like i have started doing

arms: dumb bell/bar bicep curls, incline dumbbell lift, dumbbell tricep dips, fore arm curls

chest/back/shoulders: sets on various machines

legs: squats, leg press, machines

Each day ill throw in 1.5-2 miles of running on the tread mill, usually in the middle of the lifts to give my arms time to recover so I can do more sets.

I try to spread it out so I have 3 days in between each specific area workout.

 

Did insanity for track practice today...either im in terrible shape or thats a crazy workout because i thought I WAS GONNA DIE.

 

it's not just you, that stuff is pretty hard, HIIT to the max, you have to the endurance and the cardio of a horse to find that workout easy

 

very nice! dude youre freaking hella ripped too. what kind of workout are you doing?

 

Good to know, i don't do lots of cardio during my off seasons so it hits me pretty hard once i acually have to do it. Usually just distance running, plus i have horrible eating habits. Do any of you guys use whey powder? Dropped 70$ on the mass builder at gnc and didn't notice a whole lot of change. Thought maybe i might try whey if i can get good stuff on the cheap.

 

if you want to build mass, you have to make your intake of calories greater than the calories you spend everyday. people usually bulk and build mass on a surplus of 300-500 calories on top of their Total Daily Energy Expenditure.
there is a easy tool yo find your TDEE: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html

do the calculation and just add 300-500 calories more than that and you'll start building mass, but you don't wanna to get big too fast because you want to build muscle while getting as little fat as possible, so slow and steady wins the race on that one. somepepople go bulking crazy and add like 1000-1500 more and they just end up getting a buncha fat with their muscle gains.

 

I am a pussy trap

 

Mass builder is bs IMO. Don't make it harder than it needs to be trust me I've done it. Definitely get whey protein. Helps me recover super quick. And yes you won't see hardly any results with bad eating habits. Remember its 80% diet 20% workouts.
