The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I started out with 14'' arms and am up to about 16.5", which took about 3 years, but only about 1.5 years of actually taking it serious. Triceps are the bigger of the 2 muscles, so focus extra hard on them. I usually hit tri's once a week, 3 to 4 exercises, 6-15 reps. Sometimes I do heavy weight, low reps (6-8) and sometimes I do light weight, high reps (10-15). I do the same for biceps, except twice a week, once at the beginning of the week and once at the end.

 

Had a little short stocky ripped as mofo with fuckin oak tree trunks for arms tell me he does a little bi and tri work every day. It shows. The guys huge as fuck, and doesn't skip leg day.

 

my second least favorite workout ever, behind deadlifts.

 

Ha I've got you fooled! Before I started lifting, I was 5'11'' and 140 lbs...If I wore all grey, I looked like a fire pole.

 

I could write a book on how many different approaches I have taken for big arms. I went 80, 90, 100, 105 on strait bar skull crushers working 15, 12, 10, 8 in reps last week. Strength is there, size isn't. When my arms can fill the gap between my chest and back, I'll post pictures up on here with like 500 hashtags and expect everyone to give a crap. Till then, I can to the size of everyone else's guns.

 

I'd slide down that fire pole anyday. Phil too.

 

I'm currently at 200 and ~13% bf

 

Just started doing PHAT again, haven't done and hypertrophy work in a while. Dat trap swole.

 

i've given up in the guns category. i guess i'll never get the hoes.

#iknowthatfeelbruh

have you seen the chinese and korean weight lifting team, they look tiny wearing cloth.

fuck you are 5'11? you must got hella long legs.

 

When I started I was a 5"8 135lbs ROTC cadet that was always given the heaviest shit to carry. haha

 

Sounds like a calorie problem. My maintenance intake is 2500 cals/day. To gain size/weight, I've got to eat at least 3000 calories/day.

 

i coulda grabbed your neck and did some dumbbell rows lol

 

Yeah I don't keep count. I spend the whole day stuff my face and only feel hungry before and after workouts. I pass out full and wake up full.

 

This would be awesome to see.

 

Haha my hoe-gettin days are over. Been with my fine woman since 2009. It'll be 5 yrs next month

 

i hate you bro, you have the same maintenance as me and im like 70lbs heavier than you.

 

I dropped to 183 on keto over Dec & Jan and got really weak, so I began bulking again lol. I'm back on keto now to get ready for spring break in March. Gonna try to get to around 8-9% bf in a month and half lol.

 

Uh, how long did you bulk? Like a week?

Not a bulk bro.

 

^ this most ecto bulk from 6-12 month. esp if you are natty, if you are on shit then you can bulk up in like 2-3 month.

 

haha no. I bulked all winter and started keto in December. I got really weak in mid-Jan, so I just went back to eating over maintenance for the second half of Jan. I got my strength back to where it was before my keto cut and then resumed the cut yesterday....it was more of a psychological bulk, I guess.

It's a pain in the ass to figure out a diet and where your maintenance and weight gaining caloric levels are, but after you figure it out, putting on mass will be a piece of cake
