Re: The Fitness Thread
Quick question for anyone that may know the answer:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of over training? For example instead of doing 3-4 sets of something, doing pyramid sets ranging from 10-15 sets, OR working out the same muscle group multiple days per week? When I looked it up I found so many conflicting views on this. Personally I think that (theoretically) if you over train your muscles can't get any smaller therefore the worst case would be you stay the same. I'm just getting desperate to push through a plateau which I've been at for about a month and it's really getting annoying. |

Sometimes you do need to do more to get past a plateau. You can't keep doing the same thing forever.

I've been stuck on 205x8 incline and 215x8 flat for two weeks now. Est. 1RM of 267 on flat, so you got a shit load on me there. Not sure what I should switch up. Might do dumbbell inclines for a bit instead.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Any of you ever read up on Spirulina? Best way to stay fit in my opinion. You can find it at sprouts in the jarred spice department or order in bulk from nuts.com. I recommend ordering vegan capsules & try to stay away from the already capsulized version. You want it as raw as possible!

Holy fuark. I havent benched really heavy in a while, wonder where I'm at. I hit 425 for a couple of reps, felt like I could probably get 450. Incline I can nail 315, since I've been focusing on it. |

My flat bench was stuck on ~225-235 for 3 (5 on a good day) just a few months back. During my recent cut (started in early March), I watched some powerlifting videos and took up their form (mainly the back arch and slightly closer grip). While losing weight, my bench went up to 275x3 in 3 months. If you don't already do so, I highly recommend it. Similar story for inclines...by the end of my cut, I was hitting 205x6 on incline bench, but was too afraid of upping the weights. Finally decided to man up and now made it to the 2-plate club You are an absolute animal, dude! Just out of curiosity, what're your squat/DL/OHP like?

What I'm not interested in using, however, is leg drive. I never use it and think it's stupid from a bodybuilding side. It makes the lift a ton easier but takes the tension off muscles I'm interested in. http://forums.blackstonelabs.co/show...?1173-Who-Am-I You guys see that? lol

Re: The Fitness Thread
I usually go wider just so I can get more of a stretch, any closer than that and my shoulders take over.
OHP 265x2-3, squat 575, dl 550. Probably cant do shit right now because I'm SO GODDAMN TIRED. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
What do you guys think about diet cola? I haven't quite made the shift yet to water-only but I try to never drink soda if it has calories.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Diet cola won't hurt you realistically.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I tend to stay away from it haha, always hear bad things about aspartame i.e. the sweetness makes you desire sweeter foods, makes you hungry more often, etc
Plus by carrying water-only around with me everywhere and sipping it regularly, I've found that I don't even have any desire to drink diet soda because I'm never thirsty in the least bit anyways haha, it almost looks unappealing
