The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

i'm ok with that.....i'd rather die looking sexy, than hear "doctor, its a miracle....his gelatinous, tub-of-shit belly stopped the blade from reaching any vital organs"

 

haha true that. I'm accustomed to having a baby belly in the winter, since I'm bulking and usually eat pretty crappy on the weekends...not to mention it being football season.

 

Did back and shoulders today. Gym was empty so I took some video to work on my deadlift form. 225 felt amazing today and worked up to 275 but my grip was starting to fail at that point. And with no chalk or grip I wasnt going to try more. Feel free to critique me.

anybody benching 400 plus on here? been stuck at 395 for a while now(one year plus) bw of 242 age 24. im happy with my other #'s row - 300 5x5, squat - 370 5x5, DL 460 1x5. btw i wanna stay a natty for what its worth

 

have you done any band work? really helps to add speed and get you that extra drive outta the hole.

 

I did some band work for maybe a couple months a while back. maybe I'll incorporate in again

 

Classic chest and bi's day today. Didn't have a spot b/c my gym partner doesn't work out on Friday's b/c he's a bitch, so I did bench and incline on the smith machine.

flat bench: 4 sets of 10 @ 225 lbs
incline bench: 4 sets of 10 @ 185 lbs
decline bench: 4 sets of 10 @ 185
hammer strength machine: 4 sets of 10 @ 185 lbs.
preacher curls: 3 sets of 10 @ 90 lbs
hammer curls: 3 sets of 10 w/ 40 lb. dumbbells

Actually thats not.bad. Almost 140% of your bw. just for what its worth, iv'e been at this pretty hard for almost 5 years now. even did some part time work at a high school gym training people. breaking 400 has been a long term goal with breaking 480 being my extra long term goal to break the world record set by james phraner (might be spelled wrong). i have till im 29 to do it. but iv'e really plateaued off so looking for advice i guess. normal bench day consists of rotator warm up, light (225 x 20) then 3 sets of 10 @ 315. heavy doubles between 340 and 365. heavy singles @ 385. then tricep pressing. weighted dips, cable flies, and dumbbell work. havent incorporated decline or incline yet. any recommendations to which works better?

Im a big fan of incline work, but I like DAT PEAK haha.... your goals are awesome but different from mine for sure... Im going for body aesthetics, you're going for hulk/beast mode... I have no suggestions except keep a good mind about it and feed your body... lift on bro!

 

Got some Fat Gripz at GNC...fucking brilliant idea. However, it feels and looks like a male sex toy...

 

exercise like floor press helps with breaking plateau, if you are having trouble locking out, chains will build lock out strength too. if you are use to train constant resistance, having some variable resistance, will really help.

 

Squat sesh this afternoon
10@135,10@225,10@265,5@315,5@365,3@385,3@395,1@405
Kept it relatively light to work on speed out of the hole. Stopped when I felt like I was starting to grind em out. Then I dropped back down to 275 added 38# chains(each) and did sets of 10 until I could no longer complete the 10. Bw 185.3 carb back loaded last night went up a little. Haha

 

Fuck bro i wish we can lift together, we always end up doing the same shit lol i did squats today too.

 

Haha. I've been noticing the same.

 

Me too. I'm just trying to look good in my thong bikini

 

So hot lol
