How long have you been lifting? What are your current Bench, Squat, Deadlift numbers?


mirin all these reh band reviews. Kinda want, but at $40 bucks a pop..cawt dayum

Over 10 years but on and off. Started when I'm 17, I'm 31 now. Got fat and decided to hit the gym again 3 months ago. I was 165lbs then and I'm 150lbs now, 5'4". I only started doing deadlifts and squats last month so my numbers aren't high. I'm focusing on building leg strength still.

Squats = 155lbs 5x5
Deadlifts = 215lbs 5x5
Bench = 155lbs 5x5

[nykwan]

I can't wait to get off the cut and get back to eating normally again. Shoulders were a tiny bit weaker today so I'm starting to lose a little strength. And my squat has been stuck at this plateau for the past month. No food = no gains. I'm down almost 15lbs since Jan1 though, but I still think I'd like to drop 5lbs more before I stop.

Then I'll try a really slow bulk through summer for the first time just to see how that goes.

But one thing I noticed this mnorning in the gym was that since it was early, I was the only one in the weight area but there were alot of people on the treadmills and ellipticals. And looking around, it really hit me that the fitness industry really has everyone brainwashed into thinking that just doing cardio is the best way to lose weight and stay in shape. Every single one of the people huffing and puffing away the entire 2 hrs that I was there just looked like the average person off the street at best. Most just looked out of shape. And I'll bet they are doing their cardio bunny routines 3-5times per week and not seeing any changes. I haven't done any cardio yet. I'm still holding off for in case I hit a stubborn phase and then I'll add in cardio to keep the cut going.

Well, most people will start their workout with the compound movement (squat, bench and deadlift). Then move onto their accessory exercises (dips, rows, chinups, whatever)

Yes, because their diets are probably chit. Lack of knowledge = no results = more money into memberships.

[schmack]

They might have different goals. Not everyone wants to look the best they just kind of want it.

People like you and I have made it a lifestyle and even though we have bumps and injurys we get it back.

My surgery is tomorrow.

Bruce I have been eating more since my injury to help with building my Achilles and you know the first thing I had was a big fat juicy burger. Nomnomnom

At the same time it sucks since I was so close to my 8-10 percent Bodyfat gosls

Need pics to confirm if you qualify for his services. Also for "before" pictures. Report back with results.


edit:

Schmack, I've noticed that lifters usually get hit with some chitty luck IRL. You're making progress, PRing every workout, looking more aesthetic on the weekly, and bam; some shiit happens and you get pushed back a couple of months. It becomes a mental game from there. But it's always reassuring to know that when you get back into it, you adapt to your injuries and heal from them and sooner or later, you're hitting bigger numbers and looking better than you did before you got injured. And then 1 year later, that couple of months that had you feeling like chit looks and feels like it was nothing. It's a long-term game we're playing.

Send me the noodz so I can thoroughly evaluate where you are first.

Before pictures are pretty risqué considering I'm in my undies. :/ wat do?

And a surgery? Good luck schmack.

True. Could be they just want to keep active.

But yeah, eating more should help the injury. Try eating more gelatin too. The extra collagen might help with the tendon recovery.

[nykwan]

Yeah, you're right. Take 'em off before taking the pics.

[schmack]

Well said Porky, no doubt I'll be back. The week before my injury I PR'd my Deadlift of 405 and front squat of 205. I got weak legs but was increasing weight. Will be there again.

At Kat Von D, surgery because I was wrestling a Bull by the horns in Spain. I underestimated its weight.

Yeah, I plan on at least using the recovery for a clean bulk. Will soak up Glutamin and Chondroitin as well.

[Atsilan]

Aren't you married? Mind=blown ?_?

Bruh u cray. Did you eat it afterwards?

[nykwan]

Be my personal trainer 4 free pls.

But for cereal now.

Hmm..if you're already 104lbs, I'm guessing you're not really needing to lose alot of weight.

But when I cut, I just keep it simple. I've done the logging every calorie thing in the past, and it really works awesome, but I don't have the willpower for that anymore. Even my workouts are all complicated like I see others do, I stick with the basics. Mostly compounds. I don't have time to do 7 exercised per muscle gorup like some people.

Did you ever watch the Rocky movies? Rocky4? I always say, don't be Ivan Drago, be Rocky. Keep it simple and get good at the basics.

Use the online calculators to guesstimate what your maintenance cals are. And then I just eat 500 cals less. You might have to only eat 2-300 less since you're maintenance cals are going to be lower. You dont' want to crash diet. I just make sure I eat enough protein, and then dont' care waht the rest of the cals are. I don't do the eat every 2 hrs thing either...too much work.

And then I stick to compounds for my lifts. I think I only do 2 or 3 exercises for chest, back, legs, and shoulders.

I'm too lazy to get complicated these days.

[nykwan]

Aren't you married? Mind=blown ?_?

Nope, but I was married before, and I was actually really faithful, and didn't even look at other women. I was the one that other husbands told their wives they were going out with so the wives would be OK with them going out. LOL

But I think I only started to white knight recently. These guys must have been a bad influence on me!


But now that we settled my marital situation....does that mean you'll send me the noodz?

[schmack]

Bruh u cray. Did you eat it afterwards?

No, it lived to fight another day. Next year will try again.

You Cray with all that tat

[Atsilan]

All my tats are on my left including the name that you an kinda see on my hip in that pic, I have a full body one that shows all my tats but like I said, undies.. :/

Hmm ok, you will need to eat more than maintenance level to increase muscle and then taper down food to lose most the fat.

You would look too skinny if you tapered down from the current body.

I approve of current status

[nykwan]

I agree with Schmack.

It's pretty hard to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, unless maybe you never worked out before and you can get those begnniner gains and recomp.

But yeah, if you just cut, you'd get lean, but then you'd be thinner. The fitness models have more muscle on them.

So you probably want to do a lean bulk first. I'd say to figure out maintenance calories, and then maybe add 300cals. And then lift weights. Then cut down later.

The Female Bodybuilding section would probably have women that can tell you better what works for women. Cause I can't tell you for sure that what might work for the guys would be the same for women though.

And though I'll hate myself for telling a girl to look in another section of the forums than this one, I'm sure they would be very helpful for your goals. But make sure you still hang out in here too!


But like Schmack said already...I approve of your current status. You look good. I can see the lines on the sides of the abs there....love that on girls. Shecksy.

And you just had to tease us with the slight boobage showing... hnnng.

[Atsilan]

Okay, I'll take your advices and bulk up a lil first. Schmack you make it sound so easy to taper down lol. And I don't think I'll be able to fit into the female bodybuilding section but I'll try. It's like being a newborn crow and you imprint on the first thing you see, which was this section huehuehue

Tapering/cutting down just requires discipline. Its just about eating less than maintenance, and then lifting weights to try to maintain your muscle, else the body will dump muscle. So if you got the willpower, you will do just fine. Just be patient cause you dont' lose it in a week or two.

There was korean girl, Jenny No, that was posting here a month ago. Her goal was to do the bikini competitions. Not sure if she'll come back, but if she does, you could probably ask her for advice too.

[schmack]

Taper down from maintenance whether its eating less calories or increasing cardio.

I have seen a few newbie ask questions in the female section and I gotta say a lot of them are not welcoming. It's the typical did you even do a search answers.

[krazedxboi]

this is my bod right now.

I've had a crush on you for years

Took bike out for first ride of 2013. Feelsgoodman. Went to the esplanade with the intention of reading there but was too chilly/windy. At trident cafe on newbury and grabbing a quick lunch and hope to finish 'rise of the governor' today. Been procrastinating with this book

How long till you ride again with your foot/ankle problems?
