The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I agree. I only tried top secret's because it was free and I've never taken one and I wanted to see what, if anything, would happen. About 3 weeks in and the only noticeable difference is my sex drive. I've never believed in them anyway, but being that it was free, I wanted to try for myself. No disrespect to Top Secret, as I believe all test boosters to be a crock of shit. If you wanna boost your test, you're gonna wanna go with dat dare test

 

Haha- never a problem with more sex drive though

 

I might do traditional an exercises once or twice a week, but I always get sorer from core-centric stuff like squats. I don't focus on abs when I do those exercises, they just always get sore from them. Nothing like a good squattin...that being said, I do occasionally do regular ab stuff a few times a week

 

I thought we were talking about strength instead of appearance anyways.

 

I feel that front squats help isolate my core more than traditional squats

 

Front squats will destroy your core if its weak.

 

Agreed. And Zercher squats.

 

front squats make me feel like a sissy


got really serious with the myfitnesspal app and holy shit...

because of school I'm struggling to even hit 1900 cals

guess this cut'll be easier than I thought

 

Front squats? You mean man squats

 

I've been slacking on my fitness pal tracking lately though. I pretty much know what I have to eat to hit my requirements though.

 

Exactly. Sean's focus is and will almost always be stage appearance... which is why we don't get along.

 

but bromance at the same time

 

I just don't think there's comparing isolated ab movements to real, proven exercises. I know a few guys that follow the Westside workouts and all they do in the gym are variations of squats, deads, pullups, and stuff like that and they're strong as shit, as well as ripped. Again, I still do stuff like leg raises, planks, and weighted twists a few times a week, but I feel that I get more from more traditional workouts like squats.

Moving on, I fucking hate front squats! Every time I think I'm making leaps and bounds on squats, I do front squats and get put in check and feel like a bitch. I really need to do them more. I've really been liking the hack squats though. The peaks on my quads have been popping since I've started doing those

 

I have a love/hate relationship with front squats. I feel like a beast when I squat and like a little girl with front squats, but I like doing them. I like them because it's a good way for me to work my core without have to isolate it.

 

Not sure if srs? if so, dick move.

They help you shoot a bigger load...other than that

I need to focus more on front squats. I never knew how unflexible I was untill I started trying them. I have to slightly elevate my heals to be able to perform them.

 

Read this this morning about good leg workouts. Pretty good info:

Just saying, I do feel like my abs get a workout from pullups. Maybe doing a different grip? idk
