Re: The Fitness Thread
Yup, I'm gonna work on rest pausing 405, then trying for 600/600 deads and squats.
I too enjoy mirror shots. Last edited by Senip; 01-20-2013 at 04:52 PM.. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
damn you guys squat like champs. I got 265 for 12 last time, I was going to consider going down to 8 reps every now and then but probably just on a 4th set or something, I always felt legs were endurance muscles more then anything so I've never really gone down to reps of 8, 12 is already low I usually warm up with 16 reps haha

Re: The Fitness Thread
yea I'm definitely limiting myself for that aspect for sure, I just want to do mma and pretty much everyone I train with does higher reps for legs if not just plyometrics for leg day. I always do reps of 8 sometimes 6 for upper body though, but I switch it up to do plyo's and drop sets every now and then instead of constantly pushing heavy weight to failure. I don't know if it's the best way but it feels like it does the job

Re: The Fitness Thread
265x12 is pretty damn good.
I usually do high reps for legs on everything other than squats. I keep squats to x8 to gain strength quickly, and do leg press x15, leg curls x15, leg extensions x15-20. Calves I do x10. They've been growing a lot after moving to heavier sets. I don't do any high rep training for calves now unless I'm working soleus.

Blacked out going for 10 on 455. Went down, started to go out, blew all my air out and panicked, because even though I was mostly gone, I knew that was bad. So tried to stand up and the bar left my shoulders, then slammed right down my back. TKO |

Re: The Fitness Thread
I was okay through work because I kept busy, but now that I'm sitting down, I think I'm going to avoid doing anything like movement.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Starting a bulk. I want to go from 170 to 190 by the end of the semester (5'11"). Give me hints.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Ramp up slowly. If you go from doing low cal to high cal in one fell swoop, you'll get fat. So just like, increase by 500 cals a week until you're gaining 1-2 pounds a week.
Keep doing cardio, 30 minutes 2-4 days a week. It'll ramp up your metabolism and make it easier for you to eat. Eat clean for the most part, although obviously you can cheat since this is bulking. Stretch out, get a foam roller if you have one, deep tissue massages are amazing. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
Lift like a beast. Progressively overload all of your lifts over time, adding weight while maintaining the # of reps you're performing whenever possible.
Eat like a pig. 1g of protein per lb body weight per day, and eat enough calories to gain about 1lb of body weight per week. Track your weight/intake so you can keep your diet on track. Sleep like a king. And not just sleep, but rest. Muscles grow when you rest, so keep your workouts as intense as possible and then give the muscle a couple of days off before hitting it again. EDIT: interesting study: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1208051 TLDR; alse, but popular claims: Small sustained changes in energy intake or expenditure will produce large, long-term weight changes. Setting realistic goals for weight loss is important, because otherwise patients will become frustrated and lose less weight. Large, rapid weight loss is associated with poorer long-term weight-loss outcomes, as compared with slow, gradual weight loss. It is important to assess the stage of change or diet readiness in order to help patients who request weight-loss treatment. Physical-education classes, in their current form, play an important role in reducing or preventing childhood obesity. Breast-feeding is protective against obesity. A bout of sexual activity burns 100 to 300 kcal for each participant (as it turns out, on average, it's about 20 calories. Ouch).

going to the gym to workout is not an option because I absolutely detest working out in front of people (even when I tried working out with friends rofl)
