As simple as it is, its brutal!

 

$35 for 20 servings? Ouch. Which flavor do you recommend?

 

Did this at the end of my bench workout. All I can say is damn. Made it till the third guy quit in the video and finished the rest on my knees as best I could. Excellent finisher!

 

Haha. I totally would if I wasn't already sick of doing 10 years of pushups. When I was in the Army, we were required to do as many pushups as possible in 2 min. Well in 2 min, I would hit about 120, while most of my comrades were doing 60-80ish. They asked what my pushup routine was. I told them, flat bench, incline bench, and weighted dips. I never did pushups outside of morning PT.

Don't get me wrong, that is tough to do. But once I got a taste of strongman, it was like an addiction.

 

Holy shit.

I'm trying this tomorrow at the gym I work at with some people. I'm gonna try to tape it and put it up...if everyone lets me. It looks intense

Too long...

 

Just tried it...holy shit...I'm embarrassed to say...

 

Gotta do it with 135# squats. Hahaha. Enjoy

 

I tried it last week. I think it helped me keep going fully for the whole time but not sure since i've taken it once.

Did mine friday. Still wanting to killmyself every time i see stairs or taking a shit

 

What would be the best cardio workout to lose weight, run 1.5 miles, 15 min of elliptical or 15 min of row machine? I typically start my workout with 15 minutes of cardio but lately feel like the runs aren't doing as much. Would the elliptical or row machine be a better option or should I just rotate them around?

 

Run 3 miles.....faster!

15min of cardio isn't going to do much for weight loss or even boost cardio, it's more of a warm up. You would need at least 30-45min but that's still only burning a few hundred calories......abs are made in the kitchen!

 

Whenever I'm cutting, I do HIIT. More specifically, this HIIT by Obe Obedike:

It burns bodyfat like nothing I've ever done before, and you've only got to do it 2-3 times a week. His nickname is "The World's Most Ripped Fitness Model", so he knows his shit lol

 

Some days I just wanna do some cutting and look like this because it's better than being bulky... But then again if I never take my shirt off who the fuck can tell the difference haha

 

but if you do look like that then you would take your shirt off all the time lol

 

Looks like DS Craze is done, i was wondering why i feel so fucking good when i take it, the meth might explain a couple things.

 

Much easier for a naturally lean guy to look like this than try to maintain something that doesn't fit your body type. Don't get me wrong, that still takes a lot of hard work.

 

LOL glad you enjoyed the pain. Try keeping your elbows pointed back and pinch your arm to your ribs at the bottom. Helps to activate the lats instead of burning out the shoulders more. Helps very little though, still sucks!

 

I'm heading in to do a very similar workout this afternoon. Had a dead lift sesh this morning and worked up to 3x3 at 218kg. Hoping to C&J 140 kilos by the end of it. Out of curiosity, what oly shoes do you use?

 

I did it again today as a cool-down. Made it to the 3 minute mark today. After that, a friend was doing legs, so we did it squats with 135 on and made about a minute in...fucking ridiculous

 

Got in a good back & calves workout this afternoon:

weighted pull-ups (10 lb weight): 4 sets, 10 reps
close grip lat pull-down: 4 sets, 10 reps @ 165 lbs.
one arm dumbbell row: 4 sets, 10 reps @ 65, 65, 60, 60 lbs
seated row: 4 sets, 10 reps @ 200, 190, 180, 180 lbs

leg press calve raises: 4 sets, 15 reps @ 300 lbs
seated calve raises: 4 sets, 15 reps @ 200 lbs

My muscles are sore already!

 

In the gym right now for the first time in a week. Went on a fishing trip and ate like crap...think I'm gonna feel it today...
