The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Ive been to one that had them. Tried deadlifts and was not happening. Almost effed up my back when on side tried to roll onto the flat.

 

how are there pics of fit girls in here and none are of miss prestin?!

 

don't lie cody this is your kinda girl

 

Actually, Mike Mahler's vegan!

As is Carl Lewis, Joe Namith and don't forget Mac Danzig who fights in the UFC.

It's not as "effecient" maybe but still possible to get all your amino acids through grains and veggies (pea and hemp protein etc)

 

Nuts and soy products bud

 

Lol you should have been a smoking company supporter 40 years ago!

 

Thank you

 

Really is 315 heavy for guys??

Most guys i lift with are near 400..unless they are just skinny dudes..

Im almost at 500..and im by no means huge..

 

I have been dead lifting for like 1-2 months and im at 285 so yeah for me 315 is going to be a big benchmark for me.

 

I should get my brother on here... he was a strict vegan for years and got huge from lifting. There is a lot of myths perpetuated here. Of course, he is extremely educated on the issue so he knew what he was doing.

 

Was he a Mike Mahler fan? I learned of him through kettlebells and when I found out he was vegan I thought it was cool actually.....He's a beast!

 

You've probably been asked more than a few times on here, but what do you do for abs and how often?

I need some new work outs. And no worries, I usually do lower back extensions after squatting/leg work outs, to keep it balanced out.

You're only 1 inch taller than me and 191, while I'm at 165. My goal is 170, but maybe I should shoot for 180 once I finally get to 170...

I've been stuck at 165 for a few months though and haven't been able to gain anymore weight.

Any advice on nutrition for steady, clean gains? My only real problem is that I can't bench due to a shoulder, but I use a weighted vest to do push ups instead.

Oh and one more thing, do you do fore arm isolation work?

 

it's not heavy by my standards but for a chick, that's pretty damn heavy.
If my back wasn't so fucked i can probly pull 515, so far the heaviest i've tried and felt comfortable with is 455. deadlift have never been my strong lift.

 

Sean= manlet of peace jk jk

 

How many do a "loading phase" w/ creatine? Normally I get my creatine from a pre workout like animal pump or super pump. Today I just mixed in creatine w/ my BCAAs and sipped on it during my workout.

 

People that load creatine are probably doing it because of bro science. really there is no need to load. 5g per day is plenty.
