    Whats a good weekley routine to follow after you've been lifting for a year? Still trying to gain many #'s. Anyone got a link, or wanna post some stuff? :D

    No strongman lifts though.. I can't preoccupy the ONE bar in the gym the entire time :(

    Also, even though I haven't reached my weight goal, I feel like I am on the high end of BF. I've read alot about not going too high on BF otherwise the body stores fat too easily, and better LBM gains will happen around 10-11%. I am most likely 16% or so.. What you guys think?

    Why does weighing your food suck if it helps you stay consistent?

    Sucks having to weigh every meal just to stay "consistent". Way too much work for me. Easier ways to stay lean.
    Maybe if I was a competitive BB'er, then I'd weigh food when getting ready for a comp, but that'd be the extent of misery I could take.

    Why not? Is that a gym rule, or are you just playing nice?

    It means Sean wasn't in shape before and he is now, and I've had the chance to workout with the guy and he's a beast.

    I respect the other members of the gym. When I see people using the bar and my first lifts are the heavy ones using the bar I just wait around until they are done, I can't imagine how I'd feel if they were there an entire hour :( Only reason why.

    I gotcha, makes sense. The small gym down the road from my house only has one rack, but about 5 bars. So I'll back out of the rack for stuff like deadlifts, cleans, and whatever lifts I can manage without the rack if it's packed. Most the time nobody seems to want to use it though. Occasionally someone will move in to do some curls :confused:, but that's about it. There's a Smith machine which seems to be most people's favorite thing, so that helps keep the traffic off the rack.

    One bar though, that's a different story. I had a week pass to a gym that had NO bar. Just a Smith machine. Ended up doing a lot of dumbbell movements, which was interesting, but def don't plan on going back there.

    I like to know what to change when needed. If I'm at a plateau and need to drop or gain I know where to add...then again, I pay a trainer who does my diets so he adjusts as needed based on my physique goals. If you're up an down and weight and are trying to do one or the other (lose or gain) then you need to know what you can change (food wise in amount) to make sure u get where u need/want.

    Understood.
    Out of curiosity, does he just send you the numbers and then you pick the foods and measure out, or does he tell you pretty much what to eat, then you measure to the prescribed amount?

    He knows what foods I like as don't like...he sends me the diet with the breakdown ...meal by meal..the amount in grams (as its more accurate than ounces) exact amounts of protein, carbs, fats, etc...I can probably do my own diet really...but I enjoy having that extra accountability, and taking the guess work out of it.

    I have a day just for shoulders now to bring them out more

    stretch:
    stretch band stretches
    wall stretches

    workout 1:
    behind the neck shoulder press
    push press
    lateral delt flys
    up right row

    workout 2:
    Dumbell shoulder press
    barbell front delt raise
    rear delt cable flys
    Barbell seated shoulder press
    power shrugs

    but what's important on shoulders is the contraction and the negative, you are not gonna get big shoulders pumping out reps. stay in the mid rep hypertrophy range.

    what do you guys think is better to build legs?

    working different parts of the legs on different days, with my upper body isolated workouts

    like doing back squats w/hamstring extensions on my bi/back days
    and front squats w/calfwork and sitting extensions on tri/chest days

    or just have fully dedicated leg days worked into the schedule?

    I've never had large legs because of how much running I do, keeping my run time down if I get my med waiver for the Army- but I want to start building them up more to see if it affects my cardio

    would make rucking a lot easier too
