The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Pic was after shoulders today so that prob contributed, but I've gotten bigger since the beginning of this year. Lifts have gone way up thanks to my trainer. Kinda at a stand still of 190# though. I had 2 weeks of travel and when I got home I got sick as fuck (of course... sigh) So I lost about 3#. I was at 192#. Probably just water so I'm sure I'm getting some water weight back now.

Thanks though!!

Your light is my heavy. You got me right in both feels

 

Im so tempted to buy that "your max is my warm up" shirt, but I dont wanna seem like a d bag

 

buy it and then cut it so your nipples hang out ever so slightly...that will reduce the d bag level by at least 50%

 

You need pepperoni nipples to pull that one off.

Damn, my summer semester just started!






Just did day 2 of this new workout. Back and cardio. 30 sec rest between all sets.

Rack Pulls: 10 sets of 3 (started at 335 and ended up at 245 by the last set)
Seated Single-Arm Cable Row: 6 sets of 5 @ 95 lbs
Let Pulldown: 5 sets of 6 @ 185
Barbell Deadlift to Row: 3 sets of 10 @ 85 lbs
Dumbbell Incline Pulls: 2 sets of 15 w/ 25 lb dumbbells
Single-Arm Lat Pulldown: 1 set of 30 (ascending reps) @ 60 lbs

Tabata w/ kettle bell swings
25 mins LISS incline treadmill walk

I was drenched by the end of this. So far, I'm loving the pump from the workouts and the conditioning of the cardio. It's tough, but it's good to mix things up a little.

 

It was my first time ever doing them and I felt them mostly in my lats and lower back, but it worked my hams, as well. I didn't really know what the fuck I was doing haha.

Side note: I cannot get over how freaking good that Top Secret pre tastes

EDIT: also, on the rackpulls, as well as the deadlift to rows, it had my damn forearms burning, too!

 

Ah, I figured I probably had bad form. I'll try that next week when I do them again.

I'll be writing the review probably tomorrow. Where all did you want me to post it?
