The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I remember when I would go at nights and I loved Fridays and Saturdays cause there is never anyone there. Now Friday and Sunday are my off-days. Saturday's aren't too bad as long as I get there before 8 or 9am.

 

Smashing legs and then driving 4 hours. This should be a blast.

 

Nice! What was Lynch's 225 combine #? I thought he'd be in the 30's. Dude is huge. I think I give out around 10

Im really starting to like benching, before it was just tedious work like "why the fuck do i have to do this and why don't i just squat" but now it's just fun. finding out weak points and getting way stronger. im hoping to bench 405 by the end of this year.

 

Lynch was 20, chancellor was 22, mother freaking watt was 34 or 36 I think

 

Ha!

X2

Daaaaamn! Your 20 is still pretty damn impressive

 

Just curious, but I assumed a full rep was complete extension when going back up. I have long arms and I completely touch my chest then back up to full extension each time. Just wondering for competition wise as I noticed you wouldn't fully extend each time. Not trying to hate because I could not do that at all and it's damn impressive.

 

I know a guy whos cousins with one of my best buddies and in highschool at 17 he benched 225x50+ i cant remember exactly how many but he had the national record or something at the time. guys a beast like 6'4" 260 lean as hell was gona try and play pro football but has had like 6 knee surgeries. He was in one of my exercise science classes and we were finding maxes and he put 420 up for 12 on the bench no problem haha his squats way up there and DL is like 800 or something crazzy...now he just does ameture body building i think

 

damn that's crazy strong

 

No hate taken, my rom will slack when trying to get pumped up and trying to hurry, doesn't help that I'm only running on 2 cups of coffee. If I took some good pre work out I might get that extra inch or two. One thing I have seen in the combine drill is guys bouncing, and I absolutely will not, just can't bring myself to bounce 225 off my chest piece.

Chinese proverb? Lol

 

American proverb bro!!

 

So aching..

Got back on the treadmill for the first time since Sunday..left knee had been so sore I couldn't walk right. Had to slow my speed down half a mile and was aching in 10 minutes. I forced myself to do 30 minutes and I'm paying for it now. Fucking piece of shit knee..cold weather gave me a little bursitis.

Lifted for 40 minutes after..feeling like a slug for not hitting it last night so I really pushed myself there, skipped leg curls because the knee wasn't liking the leg lift.

Worked out to THC's "Peacemaker" and Down's "NOLA"..much as I think Phil Anselmo is a royal scumfuck, I love his music..Bury Me In Smoke was the one I did hammer curls to and did 50 per arm at 20 pounds, a personal best

 

guys

signed up for a marathon that's in 11 months and 4 days

i think ive made a mistake

 

At least you have 11 months to think "Man, I should really prepare for this..."

 

This might be weird but other than you guys, it is so hard to actually find guys that really lift in real life to talk about lifting nutrition ect, literally none that i can find.
