The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Couldn't even go to a meme for that:

 

I'll challenge that statement

 

Corey, you mirin my tank?

 

Its in the desert. all you need is shoes, shorts, sense of adventurer. Get out there and find it. It can't be bought, you gotta find it.

 

is a sense of adventurer the smell of someone who adventures?

 

possibre

 

I could never get really cool pictures from those damn races

I'd get a max of 1 each. lol

 

I'll be off adventureing tomorrow

 

Shoulders and abs today. Doing it for 'Merica

 

I lucked out and got several good pics. My wives pics were all blurry and out of focus though

Going on vacation tomorrow morning to the beach. no lifting for a week...

 

First day back at the gym in a week and I feel really good. I even upped my weight on squats and did some new compound sets

 

Anyone done any EDT (Escalating Density Training) before? I cited a Charles Staley article a few semesters back and have been interested ever since. The premise is; light weight, low reps, fast paced and as many sets as you can fit into a given amount of time. I gave it a go this morning and it kicked my ass!
This is bb.com's take on it

-15 minutes alternating between 5 reps of overhead Arnold presses and 5 reps of stiff leg deads
-Rest
-15 minutes alternating between 5 reps of bent over rows and 5 reps of goblet squats
-rest
-15 minutes alternating between 5 reps neutral grip chest presses and 5 reps of alternating dumbbell bicep curls

It hurt do good and was so much better than hitting the hamster wheel for some good cardio!

 

Almost sounds like a crossfit premise with a twist.

Might have to try it but I'll do high reps

 

Haha read the article sir... No box jumps or douche socks required.

The point is low reps for an extended amount of time to keep force output high and prevent fatigue (which happens when doing higher reps).

 

I can't read...can you teach me?

I only lift things up and put them down.

 

I can surely try, if I can get a dog to sit and stay, I should be able to teach a meat head cop the alphabet....

But is case it doesn't work out, continue lifting heavy things. Society has shown muscles>brains in recent years

 

So what your saying it....low and slow....aka not even working out?

 

No sir, you seem to have misunderstood. Which considering your poor grammar is completely fathomable. Try reading it again. Or better yet try the workout and then you can offer your opinion

Exactly, it seems like this is a common opinion in this here thread.... Bro Science FTW as usual
