Re: The Fitness Thread
How's the fitness journey going everyone?
I tallied up my progress since Aug 21st when I stopped my cut. Combined usage of calipers + BIA fat analysis shows I've gained 4.5 lb of lean muscle and about 1 pound of fat, and about 2.5 of water (glycogen presumably). Pretty damn happy with those gains in 10 weeks. Looks like the '0.5 lb per week' trend is still continuing for me after 8 months of training. Bench has gone from 165x10 to 190x10. Squat has gone from 225x10 to 280x10 Total weight up to 170 from 162. My target weight then is about 185-190 or so, depending on how lean I stay, before starting my cut in May. Gettin' all kinds of gains. All kindsss PS: I found this transformation on reddit:http://i.imgur.com/5ZzGs.jpg This guy lost 155 lb in 11 MONTHS That's like half a pound a day. No excuses any of you

Re: The Fitness Thread
Up 15 pounds after starting my "cutting" diet. He switched me to sweet potatoes and I'm starting to feel a bit flabbed, but I'm still shrinking everywhere but my waist.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I sprained my wrist ~1.5 weeks ago and still can't lift weights at the gym. Any suggestions on how I can get my lift on, or do I just have to wait for my wrist to recover.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I'd wait it out in fear of damaging it to the point of being more than just a sprain.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Dude, you're almost benching 2x body weight at this point. That's pretty fucking insane, you know? You're bordering on physiological maximums for natural lifters, haha (well into elite according to exrx).
I'm going to try to set a PR tomorrow, 195x10, first attempt at 195, but probably won't happen. But here's hoping. Squats though, I just keep moving up. 285x10 today, no problem. Could have gone 11. 290 next week should be easy, so I see myself hitting 315 really damn soon. Bench though...man. Progress is definitely there, but it's slow compared to squats. I find I usually get an extra rep each week for bench, but not always, and I lose like 2 reps when I move up flat out, so right now I'm progressing at about 5 lb per 3-4 weeks vs 5 lbs per week on squats. x_X Quote:

Re: The Fitness Thread
Yeah, trying to get back to 425, that's my goal for the next coming months. Squats are going slow because I always go "I CAN DO THOUSANDS OF POUNDS" and my back says "nuh uh!" but really, I'm just trying to carve as much muscle into my legs as I can, so I'll stick to heavy leg press and lots of heavy leg extensions while I work my squats.
I got stuck on the bottom of the bench, so that's pretty much back that I have to work. Back's always been a bit of a pain for me, and I've been hitting it hard, so I imagine that'll get fixed soon. |

Not to mention you probably won't need to lift more than that for bodybuilding purposes. Either way, it's impressive as hell. Nice work! edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd-4q...e_gdata_player See that trailer?

Re: The Fitness Thread
ffffuuu I'm ready to see that!
Yeah, unless I manage to get a sponsor, not sure if I could make the leap. Hell, I havent even cut the fat off yet. I might be some super godly person, but chances are I'm just like most people, and I'll only get to do regular shows. I just do this because this is what I love, honestly. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
You wont lose that much muscle mass in just a few weeks.
You can always do some leg work (leg extensions, curls, etc) just that will probably kick up the rest of the upper body. |

The loss won't be much actual muscle if you're eating right.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Soooooo it finally happened and I hurt my knee during a squat. Nothing major or anything, but it just goes to show you that my form is leaving something to be desired somewhere

Dude, its not going to get better by having us tell you, just gotta keep practicing. If you overthink it then you're more likely to cause injury to yourself. Just work with what you're able to, and try to go a little lower each time. |
