Calling out Gzus Part II [srs]/***Storytime with Gzus***

[Esthetique]

yo gzus my goal is to be gzus-approved, srs, (nonuthug)

just noticed we have similar quad genetics (epic win for me)
except yours are more ripped





and of course my calves suck cawk

[OnlyLeanMass]

Yo Gzus can you still build legs and glutes if you don't squat or deadlift?

[Spartaperez]

Can't have everything. Don't fall off a boat or get stranded in some cold location. You gon die.

I have never been able to relax and float. Also my hair partially drowns me (turning to breathe) and adds a lot of drag. I make it a little harder too by mixing in anaerobic laps.

It's normal for swimming to whoop you're ass once you got 'superficial' muscle.

just gonna have to get used to the new weight I guess.

Earlier today there was a thread talking about miscers leg press stats/e-stats(too lazy to look for the link). They were saying that it's bad to go full range knees to the chest. What's your leg press range ? because I've been doing them to my chest,but don't feel any discomfort.
btw how your legs treatin' ya ? any new pics of them ?

Generally when you leg press you don't actually keep your legs completely straight on the eccentric and let them naturally come out to the side a bit (similar to pushing knees out on a squat). Feels a lot better been doing that recently as opposed to straight to the chest/stomach

GZUS

How many sets are you doing for shoulders/chest/legs/back and whats your rest time like in bewteen sets?

no homo, but you should look into fitness modeling.

[Gzus]

Thanks for the advice, gzus. One more question. When you do Smith machine lunges, do you do one leg at a time or alternate legs?

Rep out one leg, then switch. If I remember I'll start with the other leg during the next workout.

You, are on your way.

Calf vascularity is another thing that trips the general public out.

Yo Gzus can you still build legs and glutes if you don't squat or deadlift?

Lunges, sprints, leg press, leg extensions...

You can definitely work around squats and not deadlifting is less of an issue.

Legs to chest ain't happening for me. I can't ever remember doing them like that. I get depth, but nothing that takes my hip/ass off the padding. Plus your legs are gonna flare out. Flaring out and going extra deep is gonna put a beating on your TFL area. I like to keep it all quad.

[crss1]

you ever go to las olas?

I see what you mean, will try and see how that feels.

My legs have been getting wider, especially my TFL. I don't mind it TBH, but I'm gonna shorten up my range. Usually I'd keep a shoulder width stance, low on the platform to try and isolate the quads more. I'm about to get a big ego boost then since I'll be able to add more weight since the range will be shorter. phuuckk yeah!!

[dlg2010]

You got any tips for developing the erector spinae in the lower back? I saw that pic of you doing a back double bi at 17 and they looked very well developed even then. I've been doing lots of Romanian deadlifts trying to target that area.

[DavidBowie]

[crss1]

grats on the win tonight gzus

[ontclone]

gzuz i know you posted your diet but what would it be like on a normal day if you were just relaxing at home?? mirin by the way

also, if you dont count calories do you try to have atleast 4 servings of protein? whats your mindset while eating

[Gzus]

btw how your legs treatin' ya ? any new pics of them ?

Right ham/IT band are killing me. Chicks don't mind massaging it (compared to my traps) since it's, "fun". But they aren't doing a good enough job, gonna have to get some professional sessions.

I'll see about pics or maybe a video.

GZUS

How many sets are you doing for shoulders/chest/legs/back and whats your rest time like in bewteen sets?

no homo, but you should look into fitness modeling.

Shoulders - 10-12
Chest - 8-12
Quads - 9-12, Hams - 4-6, Calves - 8-9
Back - 12

Rest is usually minimum time till I'm recovered enough to hit target reps.

you ever go to las olas?

not in a while

Stiff leg Deads. Mine got like that from doing Conventional Deadlift like Stiff Leg.

A lively bunch over there

will probe mind for tales never told.


unrelated photo of the only broad I've met with a stronger sex drive than yours truly.



I've friendzoned bishes who couldn't hang.

[Angra_Mainyu]

yo gzus why don't squat/deadlift/bench for strength? People really underestimate what powerlifting can do for you physique wise

[Spartaperez]

Lmao almost lost my life choking on my beer when I seen that pic.

I haven't had a chest workout in 5 weeks due to a strain on my left pec major. Weird thing is that the pain came when I was doing weighted pull-ups 2 days after maxxing out on flat bench. I've been hitting shoulders and back no problem, but as soon as I do a couple sets of pullups, I feel the pain in my pec. I'm planning on going in today and have a light chest workout to see how it holds up.
I also banged up my leg earlier this week. Have my left knee and ankle wrapped up at the moment walking around like a retarded penguin. Leg should be back up and running by early next week. Will then post some leg progress pics for you to critique.

[saintpatrick]

Its time for more new pics Gzus

[Brian0602]

Looking through your progress photos, your body reminds me of a young Alistar Overeem.

[Tamandua]

I'll elaborate on critiquing fellow lifters later.

Waiting patiently for this.

[NinjaBrah]

For some reason this thread has gotten me out of my depression state, that I was currently in I was considering dropping out of college and just not give a phuck no more. ty op.

what do you think of using calisthenics to drop bf%???

[tr1ppz]

Cheers for the answer brah.

Can you post up a few numbers for me? I'm just curious as to what your strength levels are. You've become my new standard.

Bench, lateral raise, db shoulder press would help me out alot. What would be a working set level weight for those three?

[Achilles8]

How was your relationship with your teachers in school Gzus?

[Gzus]

this

Always looked and acted above my age. 14, visiting my cousin (I think my first progress pic was taken during this trip). We head over to his friend's house to do some drinking. The chick is 23-24, her visiting sister is about 28.

We've chilling with the younger sister before, so already had the "you look older" conversation. First time meeting the other sister so we get into it. She then asks if I'm a virgin. Told her yes, which was true. Tried sexual intercourse previously, poor chick kept screaming and getting teary eyed.



That experience added to my hatred for girls around my age. But anyway, this ****phile broad got a sparkle in her eyes when she heard virgin. She comes at a bro, "Mmm, I bet you wouldn't last 5 minutes". I bet her ass $20 I'd last 3x as long with ease.

14 years old and I get paid $20 to receive a bj from a chick 14 years my senior, who was apparently soon to be engaged. Or was she already married? Dun matter, minor details.

yo gzus why don't squat/deadlift/bench for strength? People really underestimate what powerlifting can do for you physique wise

Personally I think it's too boring and impractical to do year round.

Train solo (no spotters), in typical gyms (no fancy PL tools and equipment) while rarely being in a state where my body is setup to take full advantage of strength training (something is always tight).

I'd use powerlifting for strength not physique improvement.

I gotta brace myself for shooting pain on the right side whenever I sneeze.

Would be interested as well.

[kratosbrah]

Shoulders - 10-12
Chest - 8-12
Quads - 9-12, Hams - 4-6, Calves - 8-9
Back - 12

Week total or a session? IIRC you hit muscles 2x a week?

[Gzus]

Its time for more new pics Gzus

soon

Waiting patiently for this.

Just like critiquing women, the problem will be finding photo examples. More so than the women since miscers are superb at taking E-stat photos.

For some reason this thread has gotten me out of my depression state, that I was currently in I was considering dropping out of college and just not give a phuck no more. ty op.

No problem man. But how exactly did it do that?


Better than nothing, requires little equipment. You can make it work.

[businessbulker]

I am currently 5 10 164 about 14-16 percent bodyfat. I really don't want to cut because I've been making good gains bulking, however I really can't stand the fat as I was used to always being 10 percent before. I also thing that if I were to cut now I'd look skinny again (Reason I started lifting) IS there any possiblity that I can body recomp, keep this weight and lose bodyfat while building muscle (will be hard cus im at college). Or should I bulk for now and cut in the summer (even though I'll look like a skinny *******).
also
do you think that my 5 day split is effective or a 3 or 4 day split will be better?

ex. Mon. Chest
Tue. Back
Wed Shoulders
Thurs. Legs
Fri. Arms

every excercise is 3x8-12 till failure unless its legs then I do a bit more

Thanks brah appreciate any wisdom you have on this matter.
