    maybe your muscles are getting used to the workout or getting used to being sore? try different workout programs like pyramid, opposing muscle groups, or my favourite- drop sets.

    how long are you working for? You should go till you die. have a rest (work on something else) then come back and do it some more. or just go more often? So ive worked out some good sets. -5 chin ups (palms away) straight down to 10 push ups with feet on a ball (using a 5 medicine ball), I seriously suck at chin ups. i'm working them heaps as its the only way to get better. should probably do 10s. -10 reps on hte bench press (close to max wieght) straight to 20 reps with half the weight. surprisingly hard. -dead lifts (max) straight to squats with a 10kg then then push it above your head. doing the squats on a half ball thing. doing 3 sets of each. keep up the intensity though! i have a couple more but cbf.

    dropsets dropsets dropsets don't stop until you literally cannot lift the weight anymore, then proceed to use a lighter weight

    I'm usually at the gym for like 2 hours depending on the day because I workout with two friends. Like for chest and triceps, I do 4 sets of 12 reps of three different workouts for my triceps. I literally can't feel my triceps let alone lift at all or do a pushup. For chest, I do pyramids and I struggle on the weights I'm at but I mange to get the sets done. I do flat, incline, decline then I go to a fly machine to go till I drop. Meh maybe im not going as hard as I can. :(

  15. Clyde
    Date: Thu, Jun 14 2012 09:06:15

    gym = 1 hr rest = 15 secs make sure your workouts are intense, and lift heavier drop sets aren't always good, triceps lagged cuz of that shit, didn't grow but grew stronger. Started doing pyramids and alternated w/ fixed weights and that's when my triceps grew

    had a great week. feelin my legs from my workout yesterday after i finished playing bball. current weight is about 170. I've definitely have lost some fat and have gained strength. Instead of doing cardio so much, i'm just running a mile @ 8.0 mph to warm up then working out. cardio like 3 times a week from just playing some bball with friends. I feel great.

    For the last week or so, I have been doing at least 20 minutes of running while keeping my heart rate higher than 120bpm. After the 20 minutes, I do some core exercises and practise bboying for a little while if I am feeling like it. Don't really see any results so far but I dead tired every night.

Dropped 13 lbs in 12 days. Really difficult to cut since you have to eat less as well..

    Ted Wong - "Bruce would do a lot of different types of sit ups and bench presses. He was also using a technique like the Weider Heavy/Light Principle, working up to 260lbs in the bench press for three sets of 10 on his heavy days and then repping out for 20-30 reps with 100lbs on his light days. Bruce experimented successfully with partial reps, movements performed in only the strongest motion. He liked the fact that they were very explosive, sometimes he would do the bench press, using just the last 3 inches of the range of motion. It was the same range in which he would do some of his isometric exercises. His one-inch punch could send a 300lbs man across the floor over 5 metres." lrn2read facts.

So far the plan is eat more, lift heavy and 7-10 reps. Don't care about getting fat tbh, just wanna get big for now. I accidentally ran 7 miles with 1% incline at 9km/h cause I got carried away watching tennis....and I wonder why I am not big :facepalm:

    Same as Alva, I dunno ._. I can eat 3 6 inch Subway sandwiches within 2 hours, and sometimes I have 2 large sets of Mcdonalds (burger, fries and coke) for lunch. No growth or weight gain. Maybe it's the exercise factor, but I can't gain weight, and my level of exercising intensity is only moderate on a daily basis.

    Guys, need some advice. I'm getting into strength training recently, to supplement my tricking, and I'm not quite sure on what my workouts should be like. I know some essentials, but not all, like to trick and condition on alternate days. Thing is, I'm not sure how to determine a schedule, since my fear of stunting my growth and lack of gym access (I'm working on both) is severely limiting the stuff I can do. I did some Bulgarian squats the day before yesterday, and it's the only thing I can do. I also do push ups and sit ups everyday, but more sets during my workout days, and I also practise some gymnastic disciplines, like the hollow body position and working to clean up my handstands. I also read that it is most beneficial to stretch, as in for splits towards the end of a workout. I got my left side splits near perfect, need to work on my right side and middle splits. Oh, and I actually came across an article that said that weight lifting induces testosterone production, hence actually promoting growth, so I might get a barbell this weekend. Here is the thread from a tricking forum, with all the recommended workouts suitable for trickers, but the article is actually only recommended for higher level trickers: http://www.tricksession.com/forums/showthread.php?1099-A-Guide-to-Weight-training-for-Tricking Tl;dr, I'm looking to strengthen my legs to jump higher, and make my arms look less like twigs. And working towards Hugh Jackman/Anis Cheurfa type of build in the future.

    so what? I had a classmate in 1st year HS who was 13 at that time and was jacked. In case you ask for his height, he's around 5'11 , a lil bit taller than me(5'10) edit: and maybe he was like 5'6 that year @Krypton hugh jackman was on roids, his body is only achievable maybe by 5-6 yrs of hard work for increasing your jumps, do frog leaps with leg weights or squat heavy do 5/3/1 or 5x5 rep range and lift heavy if you want big arms. Also; EAT edit: I was 5'8 before I started lifting, 5'10 now. Lifting actually made me taller

    He must have been pretty well through puberty and what not to be jacked at 13. Or incredible, genetically. Or, just a weightlifter.

    @Krypton the thing you need to realize is that you can't just work a certain body part and neglect the rest, your body will end up looking uneven which is of course not very nice. Working out will of course help you in tricking but if you want to get better in tricking you will need practise tricking more as moves require smaller muscles which are not always worked through weight-lifting. Sure you will get stronger but you still need the technique. The same applies to bboying. I would suggest getting a plan first, let's say monday : chest/triceps , wednesday : back/biceps etc. Since your main goal isn't getting really big, working out 3-4 times a week should be fine for you. I would start off light and get used to feel of weights. When you are confident in what you are doing then move on to heavier weights. As for jumping higher, of course practising jumping more and doing leg workouts should benefit you.

    no that's him in the middle him after 3 years lifting, I can't find pics of him from freshman year(doesn't have progress pics and wears oversized shirts all the time) but he looked similar to that but was a lil fatter and shorter lol edit: he started looking similar to that maybe 3-4 mos into lifting(noob gains, high bf%)

    Actually, starving is horrible for you. It sends your body into scavenger mode, and it will hold onto every bit of harmful nutrient when you eat, because it knows that it will not eat often.

    @TheAafg I've read somewhere again that those who have not much physical background should spend 3 times the amount of time conditioning than they spend tricking. Of course I spend time visualising and getting my position and stuff right. Your plan sounds really good, and I was thinking that I should work on everything during my workout day. Can you guys please give me some suggestions on what kind of workouts I should be doing, considering my history, goal and physique? 5'3' and 90lbs. I'm as beginner in this as most of you guys are in, say, cubing.

    The only reason I posted the stats is so that I have a reference. I am cutting down on practices so that I can taper for a big meet, and I need to make sure that my stats don't fall too far.

Wednesday: shoulders/cardio DB military press, lateral raises, raising DB's infront of you not-sure-what-its-called, cardio you should know, yeah. Legs/Abs: squats, high knees, mountain climbers, crunches, jumping as high as you can tucking both knees in. I really don't know much body weight exercises but yeah.

    Alright guys. Starting Saturday I will implement my new workout schedule. I've spent a good amount of time trying to research and plan out my new goal. I will be focusing heavily on plyometrics. I am doing plyometrics because I want better speed, better vertical jump, and overall, better play in sports, primarily basketball. I am 6"1 and am about 8 inches away from a solid dunk. The schedule I will be working on is based on a 5 day schedule, 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off, etc... They consist of low intensity, moderate intensity, and high intensity. My summer goal: Be able to have a solid jump and advance in skill basketball wise. Getting big is no longer my current goal. I made this myself btw. Everyday my Warmup will consist of: 1 Mile run Stretching Monday: High Upper Body Intensity / Low Lower Body Intensity • Upper Body:  Chest • 2 x 15 Push-ups-literally push up till my hands lift from the ground • 2 x 10 Clap push ups • 3 x 10 DB chest press • 3 x 10 Flat (Low Weight No spotter) • 3 x 10 Decline (Low Weight No Spotter) • 3 x 10 Incline (Low Weight No Spotter) • 3 x 10 Cable Flys / pec machine These values may change due to the lack of experience from running this routine. I will have no spotter because I will be at the gym alone.  Triceps/Biceps • 3 x 10 Dips • 2 x 10 Close to waist/body pushups- literally push up till hands lift off • 3 x 10 One hand tricep extension • 3 x 10 Tricep rope pull-down (probably be failing by now) • 3 x 5 Chin ups • 3 x 10 Preacher Curls • 3 x 10 DB curls • Lower Body:  4 x 10 Jump to box  4 x 10 Lateral jump to box  3 x 10 Lateral box push offs  4 x 10 Jump tucks  3 x 10 Weighted squats  3 x 10 Leg press  3 x 10 Leg curl  3 x 10 Calf raise  Speed drills on stepladder • Abs:  1 minute Plank  1 minute Right plank  1 minute Left plank  3 x 15 Leg raises (suspended in air)  3 x 15 Oblique twists  3 x 20 Crunches Day 2: High Upper Body Intensity/Low Lower Body intensity • Upper Body:  Back • 3 x 5 Pull-ups • 3 x 10 Lat pull-down • 3 x 10 Weighted rows • 3 x 10 DB rows • 3 x 10 Back machine • 3 x 10 Deadlifts • 3 x 10 Shrugs  Shoulders • 3 x 10 DB shoulder press • 3 x 10 Barbell press behind head • 3 x 10 Barbell press in front of head • 3 x 10 Lateral shoulder raises  Chest • 3 x 15 Pushups • Clap pushups till failure • Lower Body:  4 x 10 Jump tucks  4 x 10 Split jump squats  4 x 10 Lateral hurdle jumps  4 x 10 Lateral box push offs  Speed drills on stepladder  3 x 10 Weighted squats (low weight)  3 x 10 One legged weight squats Rest Day 4 Low intensity Upper Body / High Intensity Lower Body • Upper Body:  Chest • 2 x 15 Push ups-literally push up till my hands lift from the ground • 2 x 10 Clap push ups  Triceps/Biceps • 3 x 5 Dips • 3 x 10 Close waist and body triceps pushups • 3 x 5 Chin Ups • Lower Body:  4 x 10 Zig Zag Hops  3 x 10 Single leg Tucks  3 x 10 Single lateral hops  4 x 10 Depth jumps  4 x 10 Lateral hurdle jumps  3 x 10 Weighted squats  3 x 10 Leg press  3 x 10 Calf raises • Abs:  1 minute Plank  1 minute Right plank  1 minute Left plank  3 x 10 Leg raises (suspended in air)  3 x 15 Oblique twists  3 x 20 Crunches Day 5 Low Upper Body Intensity/High Lower Body Intensity • Upper Body:  Back • 3 x 5 Pull-ups • 3 x 10 Lat pull-down • 3 x 10 Weighted rows • 3 x 10 DB rows • 3 x 10 Back machine • 3 x 10 Deadlifts • 3 x 10 Shrugs  Shoulders • 3 x 10 DB shoulder press • 3 x 10 Barbell press behind head • 3 x 10 Barbell press in front of head • 3 x 10 Lateral shoulder raises  Chest • 3 x 15 Push-ups • Lower Body:  4 x 10 Zig Zag Hops  3 x 10 Single leg Tucks  3 x 10 Single lateral hops  4 x 10 Depth jumps  4 x 10 Lateral hurdle jumps  3 x 10 Weighted squats  3 x 10 Leg curls  3 x 10 Calf raises At the end of every workout I will be in the basketball court drilling my dribbling skills and shots. These numbers may change and exercises may change. This is just a test, a planned out schedule for myself that I made.

    To be honest, I wasn't sure if this would work. This is my first time really making a schedule on my own. I figured this would be best for me. All of my weights will be low weight because I'm focusing on bodyweight and strength conditioning. I based the workout on what professional bball players do. They don't do it to get big, but they do it to stay strong and conditioned. The only reason I'm working legs everyday is simply to get stronger legs so I can jump higher. The exercises for my legs are all jump exercises except for my weighted squats, which honestly probably won't be that heavy. Just bar and maybe a 25 each side max? Idk. We'll see what happens.

  111. Krypton
    Date: Sun, Jul 22 2012 00:52:44

    @Clyde I sort of made my own schedule based on the tips and advices I got from Aafg. Monday: DB bench press (min) DB flys (min) Incline DB press (min) Decline DB press (min) Overhead extension (min) Tricep kickback (min) Gymnastics, spilts (mod) Wednesday: Shoulder press (mod) Lateral Raiz *yes it is intentional :p* (mod) Alternate DB curls (min) Barbell curl (min) Spilts and stretching (mod) Friday: Mountain climber with ankle weights (mod) Crunches (mod) Squats *as many kinds as I can with my equipment available* (max) Deadlifts (mod) Splits and stretching (mod) So as you can see my workout comprises mainly of shaping my body, and placing a heavier emphasis on squats, as they are most beneficial for my tricking. I've not decided the exact number of reps for each workout, but I have determined the intensity, and will change it if I feel the need to. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays may change to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I haven't decided on the order yet, but splits and stretching will be at the end of each workout. Also, protein shake before or after workout? I take some for breakfast anyway, if it's worth mentioning. Forgot to mention: yes I'm humbly asking your opinion on it, and if there's anything to improve on.

    See, he looks complete there. During the movie there was a scene were he didn't have a shirt or vest on and he was kinda different looking. His arms and shoulders looked better as Bane than they do up there, but his midsection and chest looked far worse.

I did 10 reps a set, 5 sets of the following exercises (do you denote it as 5x10?): DB shoulder press, Lateral raises, alternate DB curls, DB front raise, DB alternating front raise, and DB hammer curl. And I had a chocolate drink with protein powder in it before and after the workout. Is this okay? Motivation to have a body that I wouldn't shake my head in disappointment to when I look at myself in the mirror over 9000.

    5x10 is 5 sets 10 reps. Easy with the protein.

    So should I take it before or after? I heard both versions equally often, that's why I'm not sure. And what about the rep count?

    @Krypton I would take the protein shake after so that you don't binge eat on something else. Ehh if you are trying to gain size I would recommend lifting heavier and lower reps. Doing 5 sets means you are lifting light and are building strength but are not gonna get that big as opposed to lifting heavy and low reps. Lift heavier weights, 3 sets, 12-8 reps. Near the end of the 3rd set you should start to struggle. If you can do all 3 sets with ease, move on to a heavier weight.

    I actually did 3x10 but then I thought I might be doing too little so I did 2 more sets for each. I want slightly more shapely arms, kinda like swimmer arms, strength is optional. So heavier weights and lower reps anyway?

    yes. If you feel you are not getting a good workout, do more exercises or more reps, and less rest between sets (20 seconds~) you only had two exercises for biceps btw....

    I'm getting a barbell soon, and barbell curls would be good for biceps and back right? :) I did some tricep exercises on Monday already, my schedule seems a bit weird though. Btw, is it alright if I work twice as hard on my squats and deadlifts than my bench presses and curls? Leg power is priority, I've been doing ankle exercises at virtually every opportunity, and I noticed my jumps are a bit more floaty.

    Fuck to the yes. They're the most important exercises. Let me explain why. They're compound exercises that use large groups of muscles at once, all of your body needs to be at a good level to perform well in these exercises. You can bench press and bicep curl all day but they're isolated exercises that don't really make you stronger overall, they make you stronger in bench presses and curls. Not to say they're shit exercises but they're very specific compared to full body stuff like the DL and squat. Oh and for future reference, I don't know that much about bodybuilding, what I do know is strength training.

    It's cool, I'm after strength training, the chest, arms, shoulders are just for aesthetics, just as TheAafg said, it'll look terrible if one part of my body is more developed than the others. So I take it that deadlifts and squats work more muscles than curls and bench presses? And something slightly off topic: handstands work the wrists and one's core strength, am I correct?

  130. TheAafg
    Date: Wed, Jul 25 2012 14:44:15

    yeh like neXus said deadlifts and squats are really, really good exercises. Handstand should work core, wrists, and forearms I think.

    Protein is not as important as people think it is, it's not some magic powder that makes your muscles grow, it's a meal replacement and you can just eat something normal after working out instead of taking a single protein shake. Your body needs amino acids to repair your muscles and those get depleted kinda quickly, so instead of one big protein shake which you digest rather quickly you should just eat small meals every 3-5 hours for optimal muscle recovery. You're not some power lifter that needs it, you're a kid lifting light weights, save your money. As for your reps sets question, 4-6 reps is the range for rep considered for strength and hypertrophy, most strength training programs are 3x5 or 5x5. Double digit reps are for endurance, not strength.

  133. Krypton
    Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 11:29:22

    4-6 reps, ~8 sets with heavier weights, is that better? Yes the meal part is quite difficult to get consistent, but I try to eat as much and as healthy as possible nowadays.

    from what I have heard the director of the movie christopher nolan wanted tom hardy to be fat cause it went with the whole story of being in jail and being really strong. Remember aesthetics =/= strong, most strong guys are fat lol. Christopher nolan didn't want him to be aesthetically appealing. "I pushed a lot of weight, I ate a lot and I didn't do any cardio for about a year. So I ended up being really fat and now I am suffering the consequences. I have a big fat neck in it, yeah." - Tom Hardy

    I'm so glad you said that. Btw @neXus, do you think it's alright for me to do a whole bunch of squat workouts, and distribute them throughout the week on my workout days? Say I have 10 types, I'll do about 3 types on my shoulders and arms day, and 3/4 types on my chest and abs day, and so on. Since it releases loads of growth hormones it should make sense if it catalyses the growth and development of the muscles I'm working that day and my legs, and hopefully height too.

    yeah thats fine. but just give your body a day off to rest or so just to be nice to yourself. Also if the squats aren't weighted, you wont be releasing much hormones for growth. You need quite the resistance ( weight ) to maximize that hormone.

    JKD? Do you have combos to drill too? It's arms day today. I did a set of each of my arm workouts for warmup, then did 6x5 of my usual squats and deadlifts for the hormonal release, and then proceeded with 6x5 of arms.

    This is just form and conditioning practice, but yes there are plenty of combos I could be practicing. Technically an infinite amount because of how JKD works. I'm taking the free form ideal very seriously, JKD is not about combos really it's about what works for you.

    yes high reps for more endurance but no point in lifting really low weights like 2.5kg. Switch to a heavier weight and do 15-20 reps for 3 or more sets if you are building for endurance. Also switch to drop-sets after a week and then alternate. If you don't feel the burn the weight is too light.

    TheAafg;217506]yes high reps for more endurance but no point in lifting really low weights like 2.5kg.

    Typed a bloody long reply and something went wrong, can't be bothered writing it again lol. Anyway, the 2.5s have just been lying around my house, I think it's high time I bought a new set. Can't find anywhere to rent. And I went to my friend's house and messed with his 5kg dumbbells, mighty heavy lol, I'll definitely have fun with those. So 3x10 for me with ~5-10kg DBs?

    All my advice is for barbell training, if I say 5x5 I'm talking about high weight barbell exercises. 2.5kg is not enough resistance to get strong no matter how many reps you do on 10 squat variations. It's no wonder you don't feel the burn, small women start with higher weights than you do.

    I think this may be due to bad form. I worked my biceps yesterday (to great effect, I'm quite sore). But I woke up this morning and my traps are sore, too. All I did were standing, normal, alternate dumbell curls, alternate hammer curls, and concentration curls. What could have gone wrong to affect my shoulders? It's not quite a bad thing right now (my traps need work anyways, and they aren't hurt), but if I ever started working with a split and seriously weightlifting this could screw up my schedule.

    yeah, i like to keep stomach fat for energy when i need it running got boring once i was able to do like 5 miles jogging, now i just do like 1 mile where i semi-sprint. it's a very fast paced jog really, that way i can use a lot of energy but not have it take so long or be boring, and the adrenaline rush is just awesome. sometimes i'll do a half mile where it's almost full sprinting, that shit gets hard. otherwise i'm just sticking to my pushups and ab workouts

    Possibly.. but doesn't mean they're not as big as pro bb'ers doesn't mean they're NOT on dat dere. Most of the models you see are on dat dere celltech bro. Don't be such a know it all, bro. It's impossible to maintain a natty body sub 10% bf. Go on to bodybuilding.com to open your eyes and find out the truth. Doesn't mean the dude you see is only as big as Taylor Lautner means he's natty. A lot of bodybuilders, even those who aren't even relatively big, are on dat dere celltech. Heck, Zyzz 2008 doesn't even look like he's on dat dere, but he is. His brother, Chestbrah is actually small as fuck and definitely looks natty but he's on dat dere. Small size = doesn't always mean natty. Hollywood actors don't seem to be on dat dere but they are. Terry Crews is what.. 40+ ? test levels are low already and it's difficult to maintain that size at that leanness natty even with black genetics. The Rock hopped on dat dere because he knew he can't do it lol

Skinny fat ~> shredded? and natty? it's impossible unless on tech.. usually it's skinny fat ~> skinny ~> bulky ~> cut ~> shredded.. nothing's wrong with roiding as long as you know what you're doing. If only I got the cash I'd hop already <_< asked around the gym and most of them took around 3-4 years to achieve their bodies and they're far from my target.. let's say I do bb'ing natty..

    The guy's response when asked about cell tech : "Definitely natural, and ironically, I have a draft typed up about being demotivated by looking at the progress of people who are on juice and feeling like I'll never get there. I would say my weigh-ins aren't necessarily a lb per lb difference in lean mass; if I recall correctly, the body can vary 1-5lbs in a day waterweight dependant, so such a difference isn't as big as it may seem. That, and if I was on steroids, I sure wish my lifts would get better / legs would actually develop...I don't think I'd ever have the nerve to inject a needle, the closest I had considered was clen until I heard about the side effects. I'd rather be average forever then have my hair fall out (any more then it already is due to my genes) and my breast tissue grow." http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/y9xd8/as_promised_again_15_years_of_progress_and_my/ link for more info. i don't know brah. I would rather be natty then hop on the cycle, that's like cheating, can't do that. It goes again my personal morals.

    lazy? I workout 5x a week to achieve my goal. So desperate that if I had the cash I'd definitely hop on tech. I don't even want to study anymore.. I gym late, miss vtr's and shit. I bash on those dudes because they keep on claiming NATTY lol @TheAafg eh idk natty = 5 yrs bb'ing = not even shredded cell tech = 3 months = close to zyzz why waste time? I'd rather be shredded 19 than lean at 24 Stallone's 66 and that just shows that cell tech is safe as long as you know what you're doing. Zyzz was an idiot and took really high amounts and never went off cycle lol, he was surely to die

You are fat cause you don't work out and eat fast food all the time - I said these exact words and he still argued that it was 'genetics' and working out is stupid.

    Best advice is don't take advice from someone on the internet. Do your own research. This especially applies to UPSB. That being said I'm gonna drop advice. It all depends on your goal, you say you're fat but that can mean a lot of things. Are you saying I'm fat like slightly overweight and out of shape or are you a chunkier brother. Either way fat-loss is 90% diet, you can't out-train a shitty diet. If your goal is fat-loss look into something like kettlebells. They won't make you big but they're the cardio of weights and complement fat loss well. If your goal is becoming stronger look into the Starting Strength program by Mark Rippetoe, it's often used by High School Football coaches to put strength and mass on players in a short amount of time. If your goal is becoming a big beast with like veins everywhere or however you would want to describe bodybuilding I don't know anything about that. I don't particularly subscribe to the idea of training for looks unless the strength training leaves you t-rexing (huge legs, tiny arms due to squats, deadlift progressing faster than bench and other arm exercises). Regardless, you have to do research on your own, no one here can tell you what you should do, you have to look up everything yourself.

    Nexus means what shoes do you wear while pumping iron like big boys. generally a flat shoe like the vans kind of thing are good for weights. Runners arent good with having a shit tonne of weight them. This is obviously for deadlifts and stuff while you're standing up. Sorry Aafg.

    It's not necessarily the weight I'm concerned with, it's the soft sole which is to absorb impact when running. You want a relatively hard sole to drive your feet into that doesn't fuck with your balance. Slightly raised heel is also good but I don't want to pay for actual WL shoes so putting 2 plates under my heels will do the trick. Most likely buying Vans or Chucks though.

    for running the shoes absorb the force. if you're wearing hard/flat shoes that shit will go straight through your knees/hips/dick. This is coming from the kid who wears the same runners at the gym and while running.

    I stay up till fajir and then I work out during the day Since I am also taking an accelerated course it gets quite unbearable sometimes but I manage a quick nap after school which gives me enough energy to workout till iftar.

    tried dbol for 10 days, 5mg only. Was pretty much a waste of pills since minimum is 20mg(4 pills) lol, might try hopping back on dbol. Talked to a PT yesterday at my gym who used to compete and told me dbol's the best starter roids. Although he told me to be careful since there are 4 factors to roids: 1. Diet - Macros should be properly counted, and there are certain types of food that need to be avoided(somatotypes included in this factor) 2. Cycle - You can't mess up your cycle. If you mess it up, you dun goofed son 3. Routine - Your routine should be HARD enough to keep up with your roids 4. Matured body - If your body's still growing, don't take the hard ones yet ie. Tren Ace, Deca, Test E, Test Prop, pH, HGH, Winstrol, Anavar told me that dbol is the safest roids since the only con to it is that if you take too much, your bones will get brittle. So ya, don't take too much. Strongest though would be tren, but it's dangerous since it targets your liver. This PT used to DL 300kg lol. Doesn't tech/lift anymore though. Has a broken collarbone, but still huge as fuck. Around 5'11, Bane size w/ bigger arms edit: also he told me not to take advice from anyone but someone who is/was on roids. edit2: my friend was with me when I asked this PT, and he asked the PT what's the diff between dbol and creatine dbol = pure muscle mass creatine = 50% water

    you can lift all you want NATTY for 5-10 years, you will never be SHREDDED. One can't be contented with an average body. The maximum potential for a natty body = Scott Herman which isn't really impressive. Would take 3-5 years to attain that level or more, but there's nothing special about his physique. The bulk/cut routine isn't really recommended for natty bodybuilders as well. Bulk/cut is only for those on roids. Lean bulk/cutting is what's recommended for natties. You can't just go dreamer bulk and become as big as Big Show and expect to be as shredded as Cody Rhodes. It just doesn't work that way; 99% chance that you'll lose 50% of your "gains"(fat+water weight) and look like you didn't even lift at all.

    I have no idea who any of these people are... But you arent even close to being SHREDDED. you're just looking for shortcuts. How long have you been lifting? If i was to go on roids, I think at least 2 years before i'd take them from when I started taking lifting more seriously. So you have an understanding of your body and which exercises are best for you.

    did you understand what I said? you CAN'T get shredded natty. Train all you want, you won't get shredded naturally. I've been on a forever bulk since I started lifting lol to those who can't distinguish natty from not natty... on roids = -blown up traps & delts = not proportional to the body; delts and traps store the most androgen receptors which means it's the muscles that grow biggest and fastest -vascularity = can't get very vascular w/o roids. e.g. Batista -time frame = if the progress is too fast, and there's no actual "cutting" seen, meaning he gained ONLY lean muscle mass and 0% fat... then i hav gots sum bad neuwz, he on dat dere cell tech

    weight loss is essentially using more calories than you consume so that your body has to use up the stored up fat. If you don't really care about lifitng, doing cardio is an excellent way to lose weight and get toned. eat healthy and do 30-45 minutes of cardio with increasing intensity over time every day. Guaranteed results.

    Run, run, run. I am 5'4 125 lbs and I began running in 7th grade, have kept a constant 7% body fat, have had a six pack for my whole life. Try to run as far as possible, but when you do so practice good form. Since you're a larger citizen at this point, you can afford to keep pounding on your knees if you do not want srs repercussions in the future. Any arm work will help with running and in turn let you run longer, thus losing weight quicker. If you are serious about running, core is an essential. I started doing core work, and it helped oh so much with running. Running paired with a semi decent diet will give you results. During Cross Country I eat quite a bit of greens, and chicken, pasta, brown rice and eggs. Basically don't give a shit, and try to run outside as much as possible, because treadmills suck. If you're interested in running and light lifting, I could help you out with a schedule. I make a ton of the football bros speedwork schedules.

    Lol, I like the wording "larger citizen." I'm not obese for my size (I'm 6ft) but I am visibly chubby. But did you mean can't in "you can afford to keep pounding on your knees?" I don't mind getting a schedule. I can do some light lifting to get somewhat stronger.

    My mom was like "Go run a mile or else you can't play games" and I was like "FUCK" so I got on a treadmill and ran a mile in 14 minutes (with 2 1 minute breaks every 4 minutes cuz I might have passed out from heart failure LOL) I could probably run 2 miles at a steady pace over like 40 minutes. I won't be able to run anywhere except on a treadmill because my parents don't like the idea of me running out in the "outside world."

    HIIT lifting... I think its a less weight more volume sort of thing. something like 1x clean 4x lunge jumps 2x burpie then repeat for 60 seconds. rest for 15. do a bunch of rounds. Gets all your muscles going.

    Whats the plan? You said you were already around 20-25% bodyfat. Thats about where i started. I dont think you should bulk as such. I would just eating what you're eating but lifting at the same time. you've already got room for muscles, you dont need to make more. Its like you've already bulked. I was 205lbs, about 6'1 when i started. At first i didnt watch my food intake, just kept eating and lifting. at one point I was 210lbs. After about 5 months of lifting, i decided to lose some weight. I'm now about 190lbs going for 185. Still lifting as heavy just bodyfat is going down. abs are coming through slowly.

    tomorrow is the first day of school and also the beginning of my super dedicated and committed gym adventure. Working out 5 days a week. Monday: chest, triceps, abs, hill sprints (cardio) Tuesday: back and biceps Wednesday: legs, shoulders, abs Thursday: moderate Chest again, focused on bodyweight primarily Friday: cardio- more hill sprints My chest is my weakest so imma do it twice a week.

    holy fuck my biceps never ever ever ever try to flip a tire with your and arms and back, you will destroy your biceps i was moving my tire from one end of the yard to the other end for storage, and i didnt feel like actually flipping it properly using my legs, since i was in a hurry so, i just grabbed the tire, and lifted it with my back and arms (kinda like a deadlift + curl) since its a lot easier than using your legs to lift it. few hours later, and my biceps are in incredible pain. i cant flex without pain and i cant even touch my own shoulder without my biceps hurting.\ in case you guys dont know, here is the wrong way to flip a tire. it may be easier, but it will damage your arms. the girl in front is lifting it with her arms and her back (which is what i was doing) and your arms are not used to this type of movement here is the CORRECT way to flip, using your LEGS another bad way

    I think one of the best books on understanding form and why you take the forms that you do is "Becoming a supple leopard" by Kelly Starrett. It's pretty interesting, he's a guy who basically studied movement (sports physiology or w/e) and is teaching the worlds best athletes to move better. Bracing the core, creating torque, all that good shit. I believe also talks about how much our bodies compensate shitty movement and positions until one day we start to feel it at which point: Too late.

    bro science bullshit aside, smith machines are actually pretty bad since they dont train your nervous system to stabilize your muscles that you need to actually hold the bar steady a good example is if someone (who just started working out) is benching a decently heavy weight, their arms will shake since their nervous system isnt used to balancing a heavy weight. over time your nervous system will train for it, but a smith machine removes the need to train your nervous system, since it does the balancing for you

    I've started starting strength, been doing it for a few weeks Squat:165 Deadlift:155 Bench 115 Overhead press 65 Power Cleans 65 (still learning the form, but am starting to get comfortable with it) So far it hasn't been too bad, I am confidant in being able to increase all my lifts for quite sometime at this rate :)

    My bench is weak as fuck. Only about 140 on incline. Could probably do 150-155 on flat. It should be way higher... Shoulder pressing 130 though. Them 45lbs weighted dips. Mad af This is all w/ dumbells btw

    I'm guessing by real bench he means barbell bench. Benching dumbells is still a bench, just not what people talk about when they say bench. They both have their ups and downs so one isn't inherently better.

But on monday my vacation starts and I have too much energy if I don't go to work. I can get up early and go to the gym when it's empty to fuck around and figure out what to do. Have to.

    I've been a roller coaster. Since the last time I seriously posted in here I've made no gains except fatty gains. I'm pathetic as fuck BUT ITS OKAY. I'm back into da gym. I have made my small gains and I'm the strongest that I've been thus far. Its been about 3 weeks of foundation (form) work as I'm still transitioning my body back into the gym. I foam roll and stretch about 30 minutes before each workout. Day 1: Chest-Tri-Abs Day 2: Back n Bi Day 3: Legs, shoulders, abs For the major compound movements I follow strength building parameters so I do 5x5, other bodybuilding things I do 3 x 8-10. Bench: 125 5x5 (today is chest day I'll be pushing for 135, if not, 125 5x5....hopefully I'll have a spotter...) Squat: 135 5x5 (Ass to grass squats, only like 4-5 inches from the ground I think, will go for 155 next time) Deadlift: 155 5x5 (keeping this for another 2 workouts to lock in my form then bumping it up to 185, if not 175) OH Press: 75 5x5 (shoulders weak as fuakk) I'm making the gains slowly as I'm getting back into the groove but I'm really damn happy with where I am right now cuz I have my foundation down. My goals in general is to build up my numbers and work on my back. I can only do two quality pull ups and a sketchy 3rd one. ty for your support <3 p.s. I fucking hate ab workouts

    My upper body sucks so much X_X lately I've been doing bench and OHP every other day to try to get it up higher, and it actually works a lot lol. Beginning of the month, my bench 1RM was 150 and the high frequency really brought it up. But 185 lbs man, I'm mirin pretty hard. I'm still fatmode 240ish at 6'0 Really dunno why my DL is so disproportionately higher than all my other lifts though.

    The cut life is pretty rough unless you really dedicate yourself towards IIFYM (if it fits your macros). I actually don't have that much muscle on me but instead a lot of fat so cutting down from 195 to 185 has only showed a little improvement in my body comp. Though regardless I'm still getting leaner and leaner while recomping my body and gaining strength. I don't intake any carbs other than veggies/milk/cottage cheese/peanut butter. That really helped shed off some weight initially. I don't know what i was but I was able to hit that 5x3 245 squat two weeks ago but now I couldn't even do 1x3 235 lbs for my squat today. It felt so shitty. I dropped down to 225 and could only grind out 3x2. I did go for the PR on my deadlift yesterday (5x3 275, i was at 3x3 225 prior) so i guess that fatigue got to me... time to deload on the squat...... dedication for the gains i fucking love going to the gym.

    Mirin that bench pretty hard Funny story about my deadlift actually. Up until 2 weeks ago, I've been doing all my lifts in my home gym. Problem with my home gym is that I don't have bumper plates and the plate I use are these. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10793623 Problem with those plates is that they're smaller in diameter than standard plates, so my 45 is a few inches smaller than a 45lb bumper. Soooo...all the time I've been deadlifting at home I was actually doing deficit deadlifts and I didn't even realize it. My 1RM deadlift with my home plates is like 330ish. I then went to my school's gym with a buddy for the first time and used actual standard-sized bumper plates for the first time ever lol. I DL'ed 3 plates like it was nothing, so I tried to 1RM for the hell of it. Holy shit bumper plates are the best thing ever, never deadlifting at home ever again.

    I was super pumped going into the gym ready to bust some PRs after a good gym day prior but it didn't go so well. It was a bad day. I guess but at the same time I should probably deload cuz i have been plateauing at this weight. I'm about 7 weeks into this program and it calls for a deload around this time. I don't have that big of an issue with taking things slow since I'm really trying to gain strength or maintain while cutting. I squat lowbar cuz i feel like a bamf B) lol jk I just prefer lowbar.

    What kind of programming are y'all on? I'm currently on week 7 of Layne Norton's PHAT program (http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html) I've modified it to my liking but basically I'm just following a hybrid strength/hypertrophy program. I started the program on the first day of college (7 weeks ago) and has been the longest consistent time I've been in the gym. I gained 5 lbs in the first 4 weeks of the program but decided to start cutting because I was fat. I think my starting numbers were... Squat 115 5x5 Deadlift 135 5x5 Bench 115 ?? Not sure because I started doing barbell benching around week 5.5 of the program since my right chest was a lot weaker. Yeah I donno how accurate those numbers are but w/e. I've made progress and thats all that matters. I'll probably be following this routine for the rest of the year or until I get to around 180 lbs of lean muscle 9% bf (honestly donno how long this'll take but its k). After I get to the size I want I'll be pursuing a a more strength oriented type programming to really boost that strength up.

Gonna try and max it out next time I do legs though so lets see how much I can do.[/QUOTE] Gotta fail sometimes if you wanna improve lol [QUOTE=Tetsip;290811]What kind of programming are y'all on? I'm currently on week 7 of Layne Norton's PHAT program (http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html) I've modified it to my liking but basically I'm just following a hybrid strength/hypertrophy program. I started the program on the first day of college (7 weeks ago) and has been the longest consistent time I've been in the gym. I gained 5 lbs in the first 4 weeks of the program but decided to start cutting because I was fat. I think my starting numbers were... Squat 115 5x5 Deadlift 135 5x5 Bench 115 ?? Not sure because I started doing barbell benching around week 5.5 of the program since my right chest was a lot weaker. Yeah I donno how accurate those numbers are but w/e. I've made progress and thats all that matters. I'll probably be following this routine for the rest of the year or until I get to around 180 lbs of lean muscle 9% bf (honestly donno how long this'll take but its k). After I get to the size I want I'll be pursuing a a more strength oriented type programming to really boost that strength up.[/QUOTE] I've been doing 5/3/1 for the last few months along with hypertrophy to target weaknesses.

You could probably achieve the same effect as the handgrips by just holding onto something heavy for a long time. It also looks kinda bad in the sense that you need to buy a new $20 handgrip every few months just to train it to get stronger. I like training grip strength with double overhand deficit deadlifts because it targets my 2 weaknesses: grip strength, and getting the bar off the floor. If I have trouble with lock-out, I would do rack pulls instead of deficits, and I like the flexibility of that. With the handgrips, all you're working on is literally your hands which seems like a waste of time to me since you could be doing multiple things at the same time. But if I really wanted handgrips, I would just squeeze the barbell clips lmao [QUOTE=Tetsip wrote: Take the heaviest Dumbbells in the gym and just carry them around.

    Hmm I'll try this out actually. I've been trying to find a trap exercise since I have a problem doing barbell shrugs because the bar gets in the way of my groin, so I've been doing hanging shrugs instead (hanging on a pullup bar and shrugging your bodyweight) but I can't do more than 5-6 reps because I'm fat

    Squats scale to high volume pretty well, legs have really good endurance. Theres the old adage of "Take a weight you think you can do for 10 reps, you can do it for 20" That said he might as well keep the reps low and do a linear progression. Do 3x5 squats and add 5 lbs each work out and you should be able to get past 225 pretty quick

    uhh I think there's a fine line between doing more than what you think you can do, and overestimating to the point where you actually hurt yourself yea you can probably lift heavier/for more reps if you are more mentally focused/your willpower is stronger, but it's still mostly dependent on your physical strength I know I can squat 225 for 10 reps, but to actually go all out for 20 reps, I will most likely hurt my lower back because of me good-morning the weight instead, or have shoulder mobility issues yea bart kwan is a beast but that idea of a workout seems pretty insane (not in a good way) unless you're working with relatively low weight. IIRC bart 1RM squat is in the 400s, while his working squat sets in that workout didnt go above 300. I really respect the dude but not everything he does seems right lol

Doing 85% of my 1RM for reps on bench/OHP is easy, but 85% of my squat/DL is exhausting and a monthly progression is fine for those lifts. so i'm deciding to stick with 5/3/1 with my squat/DL, but train my bench/OHP with Texas Method so I can get a weekly progression on those lifts to bring them up faster

    In terms of how big you can get... That hard to say. I know some guys who are pretty big from just doing push-ups and chin ups (calisthenics). However there's only so much you can do until you pretty much plateau. Otherwise you'll just be doing reps for 50s 100s. The best thing to do is do a variety of push-up variations or pull ups to ensure maximum gains and strength development.

    Yeah, I do wide push ups for chest. Diamond push ups for triceps and some regular shoulder width push ups from time to time. There's also a lot of other push up variations that I should try too. Not sure what kind of variations I can do for chin ups and pullups though.

    I was talking about legs specifically. They're the strongest muscles in the body and perhaps I phrased my post wrong but I meant like I don't understand the point of pursing a goal such as squatting 400lbs etc. Like I understand if its a personal goal or w.e. but the constant need to squat more and more while having legs that are already stronger than majority of the human population seems like an absurd notion to me. Sure, you can compare this to other muscle groups but like I said earlier, if a person is lifting for aesthetics, beyond a certain point the aesthetics of your legs becomes obsolete. Your legs are hidden majority of the time and as long as they look proportionate with the rest of your body, why work them hard enough to improve if you're not competing. In response to Awesome, yeah 2 plate squat isn't a lot in the long run but I meant as in 3-5 sets of 8+ reps with 2 plate squat. I would be content with that right now and stop constantly trying to increase my squat after that point cause I don't see the need to work them harder as long as you're proportionate. Unless you're trying to increase your squat for fun as I imagine it would get boring after doing the same weight for a while.

    even aesthetic people can easily rep out 3plate for reps on squats. it doesn't matter if you 100% only care about aesthetics, you still need to have a strong foundation and a solid CNS. Compound barbell movements are difficult, a lot more difficult than dumbbell exercises. It's hard to learn how to squat/DL/OHP/bench properly, and it's easy to just jump on a delt machine and just pump out reps. But you need to have a core foundation of strength from the compound movements so you can learn to effectively overload your muscles and build muscle from there. imo saying "2 plate squat is enough, I don't need to go higher" immediately makes me think that you're like a curlbro who does a bunch of different chest workouts without understanding the fundamentals of musculature, or that you got your workout from some bodybuilder magazine

    I didn't mean that I wouldn't go higher, I just meant that I would probably stop doing legs 3x a week if I can rep out 2 plates for 3 sets 10+ reps. I would still work them and try to improve them. I have been working out for 2.5+ years (1.5ish years regularly) . I can press, ohp, deadlift and squat more than my bodyweight by a significant amount. Pls don't call me a curl bro again. At least I am not doing 4 reps per exercise.

    You never mentioned you were doing legs 3x a week, and i was under the assumption that you were on a split doing legs 1x a week, hence my response. Regardless, my point wasn't following rippetoe blindly, my point is that building up your strength to the limit of linear progression will allow you to put on mass more effectively when you do the high volume hypertrophy work. In order to induce hypertrophy, your muscles need to be fatigued from lifting, right? Doing a relatively light weight for as many reps as possible won't fatigue your muscles in a way to induce hypertrophy (it's probably extremely difficult and very fatiguing to bench an empty barbell for 200 reps, but that's not going to do anything to induce hypertrophy, as the limiting factor is the cardio, not the strength) This brings me to my other point. When you do 225x3x10 squats how fatigued do you get, and do you know if the limiting factor was the cardio factor or the strength factor? Since you're a young, healthy, male in your 20s (i.e. the prime of your life) then I think you have a lot more strength potential when it comes to linear progression (let's say the linear limit is theoretically 265). Then you can stop at 265 and do 3x10 which is much more effective than 225x3x10 for building dem quads and dat ass. As ronnie coleman said "everybody wanna be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy-ass weights"

    Anyhow..... Started to count my macros and will be doing so for the next 2-3 months of this focused cut. I am 6'1 185lbs right now and my macros are set at 213g protein, 250g carbs, and 64g fat. This totals to be ~2400 calories/day. I workout 6 times a week (push/pull/legs/rest x2) so these macros are set for a pretty aggressive cut. Its projected to make me lose 1.5-2lbs a week which is a bit too fast for me. I'm aiming for about 1.0-1.5 lbs a week. Since this is my first time kinda-religiously counting my macros I'll just keep them where they are now and adjust in the following weeks. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

    I track as I go, but lately I haven't been overly strict as I was when I first started using it. I've eaten the same breakfast and lunch almost every single day for the last 2-3 months, so I know what those numbers are, so I'm mainly just concerned with the dinner. I'm not too concerned with macros, I'm mostly aiming to be under my TDEE. Generally I can estimate what an ~800 calorie dinner is so as long as I know I'm under TDEE I don't bother recording. But I've noticed you've been recording meticulously @Tetsip, even down the chipotle toppings lol. How long does your meal planning usually take because it seems like you spend a lot of time on it. My daily breakfast and lunch if curious: Breakfast between 3/4 - 3/2 cup oats depending on how hungry i feel 1 banana 2 scoops whey Fish oil pills Blend everything, between 650-800 calories depending on how much oats i use Lunch 1 cup white rice 1 (~1lb) baked chicken breast Broccoli and/or carrots (the amount doesn't really matter since it will never vary by over 50 calories, and my lunch container can only hold so much anyway) ~850 calories give or take 50

    Honestly it really doesn't take me that long haha. I mean initially it took me a little cuz Im new to this all and I had to find it but now that it's there I've saved it as a meal so everything is pretty much on shortcut now. I probably spend like 3 minutes figuring out what I want to eat.

    SooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo been counting my macros for the past two weeks exactly anddd I have only lost 2.7 lbs. I think. I haven't really weighed myself every morning and averaged it but that shall begin tomorrow now that I have a scale to weigh myself on lol... It's also kinda hard for me to see if my macros are even working because 1 day of munchies and 1 day of thanksgiving feasting can pretty much throw your entire caloric average for 1 week off. I'm going to run the same macros 212g protons/242 carb/67 fat (2440 calories) for the next week strictly and include 3 days of cardio. If I lose 2 lbs in 1 week I'm going to bump up my calories to slow down to 1.5lbs/week or even 1 lb/week because I still feel like these macros are a bit too aggressive given that my calculated maintenance is 3400 calories and a 1lb/week loss deficit would be 2800-2900 calories. My bench press is ever so slowly going up... currently at 170lbs 3x5. Did it today but could only do 5x4x4 tho :| My squat went focking down to 205 3x5 and I'm pretty damn pissed at that. My DL is at 275lbs 1x5 topset still and looking to bump it up to 285 or 295 tomorrow for 1x5 topset. I'm feeling pretty good. We shall see what happens. Fucking finals and papers to write ugh.

    Didn't increase weight on my DL today. Felt pretty sore/tight in my lower back while locking out on the deadlifts so I just went with 1x5 275lbs topset again. It didn't feel too too difficult granted that I was still sore so I have confidence that I will be able to increase weight my next pull cycle. I figured I post some pics of where I'm at right now. weighed in at 182.5 this morning. Went to the gym after a protein bar/water. Came home weighed in at 185.5, took a shit right after weighing myself and scaled in at 183.5 hehe. Took these pics after I showered. My chest fucking sucks but I'm more focused on widening and strengthening my back right now. After I do so I'll focus more on chest~ Still on the grind for 175 or until I can see my abs.
