The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

phew glad I still got it... hahaha I sinned last night... partied... dark beers, voda, and tequilla... still went to the gym today... actually increased my weight in everything, Arms 101

But I hadn't partied since Vegas, holy shit did I feel it this morning

 

Did a sweet workout today. Didn't time, was just seeing if the working weight was good.

5 rounds 10 reps 4 exercises.

Bench 135
Squat 175
Push Press 125
Dead Lift 215

No rest period except switching weights.

 

Pr'd on deads today...
275
Which excites me because I'm a DL noob
Focusing on form really helped

 

If you're big into CF, I'd recommend the Reebok ones. Of course the adistars are pretty much the best out there, they are super heavy, and not very flexible. That makes them excellent lifting shoes, but bad if you're doing a metcon with oly lifts. Reebok's is pretty light weight and solid enough for oly lifts. Made specifically for CF type workout. They sell them at Dick's too, so you can try them on before buying.

I've done double unders, box jumps, pullups, etc., in mine with ease. Even some short runs (100-400 meters).

 

Just had some pizza, a banana and a protein shake.

 

Sounds like my every meal!

 

Banana guacamole smoothie ad vanilla or fruity protein powder and you got your self a nice little after gym snack to wash down the pizza with

 

After 5 months of committing to eating as much healthy food as possible i'm seeing some results.


Unfortunately the abs were sacrificed, but i can get those back. I've also realized how big of a difference there is to bulking up, and a clean bulk. I want to clean bulk as much as possible, sure it might take longer but it's healthier. Thankfully i have big traps naturally and back day is my favorite lol

 

Try to make me feel bad why don't you?!






Haha.


Nah that's awesome! It really does take a lot of dedication. How much do you weigh now?

 

Haha story of my life every Saturday night...College kid problems

I don't ever work out on the weekends though, unless I miss a day, which is often

 

A steady 155, goal is 175, i weighed 130 when this thread started lol

Only supps are Pro Complex and occasionally a various pre work out

 

Bro, do you even chest day? Keep up the good work.

 

Na bro.... Deadlift

 

Get on a Mass Gainer and creatine and you'll be 175 in no time.

 

Been there done that lol I'd perfer to eat a huge meal

 

My only rest day is sunday... quick recovery day.

 

Jeez, that's intense. I have Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday off!

That works too lol. I'm on the go a lot, so shakes are easier

 

Gotta go hard bro

 

So for shoulder press, I've been using seated dumbbell press and the smith machine seated since I can get more of a wider grip using the barbell. I've been going down to eye level since that is 90 degrees then pressing up. When using the barbell, do I bring the barbell down to my shoulder level for a full ROM, down to my chest, or do I just keep the barbell at eye level?

 

Shoulder level, or where ever your elbows make a 90degree angle
