you are the worst poster

you also cheated at this game and then got super agressive

1) I'm the worst poster why? I came into this thread offering simply my own opinion/advice in a very civilized manor then people start critiquing me saying I'm wrong. My last couple posts might seem "aggressive" to you and others but guess what? I bring up valid points.

2) Please tell me the correlation between playing FFR and working out? I'm willing to bet this is going through your mind "He cheated in the past so there's no way what he says about working out is valid." It's people like you who are the worst poster's because you offer no solutions/advice, but rather fuel arguments.

i can probably count on one hand the times i've actually followed this in a week during a full year period only because of plans that usually come up or i just don't have the motivation to go lol but in a perfect week that's what i would do

Ok.

You're right, who would want my advice. I obviously have no idea what I'm doing.

[ssbmchamp]

++ i dont think not being fat is something to be too overly proud of. its good to be proud of hardwork n all but we're all young here, that's maybe something you would be worrying about further down the line. this is a fitness thread 4 christ sake, not a look at me for not being fat im so cool thread


so would you guys keep your cool around here plz you hot headed freaks save it for the GYM

For the record I never said this was a "contest" nor am I trying to be or saying I'm cool. In short I said "this is what I do"...only to be pounced upon with everyone saying my way is dumb and, more or less, isn't efficient. I defended my case saying it actually does work and posted proof...If people didn't jump on my case so abruptly or simply say I was BS I wouldn't have got so defensive.

[Syhto]

alright alright i removed my post cuz it was too premature

let the dudes settle this

I think one of my main problems is that I'm relatively inexperienced and so I'm not sure if I am really getting a good workout, since I do maybe a few exercises until I'm tired and then peace out. Seems like I need to be doing like 8 different exercises per muscle group or something.

bodybuilding.com has a ton of vids for seeing how to do shit.

Yeah, cause chest works your triceps, so I do something that isnt affected by it.

@Senip: I don't consider myself as a "beach bro" Instead i've got most peoples dream metabolism and body type AKA i literally eat/drink whatever i want whenever i want without gaining long-term weight and i VERY RARELY workout legs and back, yet mine are naturally stronger than easily 90% of people i see at the gym that do those muscle groups religiously. after seeing what happened with my bench after never doing it i'm thinking of trying that with back and legs and see if the same effect would happen.

I had that same problem, until I joined an actual gym with actual bodybuilders and powerlifters. I thought I was super strong too, until I found out that, well, no I'm not. You have to remember 90% of the people in the gym are already OUT of shape, and trying to get IN it. So...

Trollface all around.


Honestly, people keep saying if you have a calorie deficit in your diet you wont gain muscle, but I've seen personal gains in myself and in others while doing it. So you can gain muscle, it's just not going to be like if you are at a calorie surplus.

Ya'll are being ridiculous as **** though about the whole I CANT GIVE ADVICE HURR LOOK AT MY RESULTS bullshit. SSBM, regardless of whether that is in fact you, a split like yours would do absolutely nothing for 95% of the people. My guess is you're just lying, because it absolutely baffles me that you claim the "results" you have...unless you're juicin, then yeah, I could see it. If you're juicin and you're only benching 350 though, wow, lol.

SC went from a stick to a not so stick, pretty impressive.



But always remember, oh you gurus of lifting:

[Reincarnate]

Keep this thread in order, pl0x.

If you can achieve great shape with little exercise while eating a shitload of food -- cool. But don't go around spouting that as if it's viable advice, because odds are you're either neglecting to mention something important that recontextualizes the advice, or you're just flat-out lying. Either way, it's not helpful to this thread and just serves to perpetuate broscience-like reasoning.

Broscience almost always starts off with an appeal-to-authority fallacy, so let's please stick to the biology of things.

On that note, did you get your workout sorted?

[Reincarnate]

Sort of -- it still feels like my workouts are ending too early and I haven't really pushed myself. I can't help but feel like I'm not doing enough exercises or something.

throw out a typical workout, dude. I write mine down in an online journal so I can keep track of everything.

one of the best things you can do though is find someone you see at the gym who works hard and work in with them: you'll learn lots and push yourself harder.
