Pretty cool

And I have never tried fascia stretches.

And I'm guessing you plan on taking steroids in the future then?

You should give em a shot. I've already noticed better pumps, and fuller muscles after only a week.

I'm going to get an evaluation once I get shredded up (I just paid my trainer to make up a plan/give evaluations every couple of weeks), then I'll decide. I'd have to do a ton of research and make sure I get the right dosages etc so I dont kill myself on accident. Most of the people in my gym roid it up anyways, because its more of a power lifter/bodybuilder gym than it is just general fitness peeps.

Do the benchpress + overhead press not target the triceps enough, in your opinion?

Do you think regular deadlifts address the posterior chain better than SLDL? For a beginner, wouldn't squats + regular deadlifts be too ambitious or is that overestimating?


Basically playing around with everyone's suggestions in a spreadsheet right now.

Probably overthinking this shit but I have until Monday so I'm trying to fine tune everything -- might as well

I really like skull crushers using an ez grip bar for the triceps. That and dips. Been doing those for 3 months or so and my triceps have really bulked up. Started out barely being able to do a body weight dip, now I am up to 25 pounds. I find dips work your chest pretty well too.

Only thing is if you're not careful with these exercises you can really hurt your elbows. Add weight slowly, don't do them too often and use proper form. I actually think I may have slightly injured my elbows a little bit this past week doing them.

you always are overthinking things dude. Squats, Bench, and Deadlifts are essential to any fitness program that isnt bullshit.


Dips hit chest if you lean forward, I like to put chains on around my neck to pull me upright to hit tris.

Really, theyre only like 40-50 pounds. I know guys who wrap that shit all around their body, that is intimidating.

This guy works out at my gym.

Evan has the physique (other than a lagging chest) that I'd want.

It's too bad Kai Greene has the whole gay background (no slur on them) but because of it he's never going to win the Olympia, which is stupid.

what do you mean? like being gay or being against gays... personally idc what people see on the subject, take me or leave me. its your problem, i know how great of a person i am. i just happen to be gay. whatever lol. if you can love yourself thats all that matters.

if he is gay, they should embrace the fact he came out. not penalize him

He used to take it in the ass for roids/drugs back when he first started out, and the federation isnt going to award him the title just for that.

[kmay]

so he was a prostitute? i mean is that illegal?

Wait when you said you work at Metroflex Senip, you mean you work at *the* metroflex? Srs?

That's pretty amazing.

wait... he's not even 20??

Yeah, he's 18 and I think his physique is perfect. However, it's not natural. You'd need mild assistance (probably something similar to what I posted on the previous page) to maintain that.

You ever likely to try roids? (reach and senip)

Nope. I highly doubt I ever would.

They target primarily outer head.

Honestly though, it's not going to matter at all because of your diet. Just concentrate on getting stronger right now, and losing weight. Overcomplicate things later when it will actually matter.

Right now your main goal is to see that scale go down. Make that your #1 priority above all else. If you gain strength in the gym, that's a bonus. And honestly, feel free to change up your routine quite a bit in the gym so you get a feel for different exercises and learn proper form and all that stuff so that you're ready to achieve whatever you want to achieve when the weight comes off.

But don't sweat the details right now. Weight loss above all else. Weigh once a week, dry and very hungry in the morning. Restrict calories mildly on a weekly basis until you're losing at approximately the rate you want to lose.

so he was a prostitute? i mean is that illegal?

Many bodybuilders sell their body.

It just happens to be that Kai did film and there is now freely available evidence of his actions.

So he's almost guaranteed to get 2nd in this coming Olympia even if he's ahead of Heath.

[kmay]

i think the same way marcus is. its just a really scary and overwhelming thing.

I workout at the Plano Metroflex, but Branch comes in from time to time (because Arlington's pretty close) and they're teaming up to do this big smash where Gasp Inc (his clothing suppliers), a nutrition place, and Metroflex are all going to be under the same roof.

He's a really cool guy, but it's absolutely staggering to actually see him because he's like 5'6, but he's so jacked that he looks even shorter.

[kmay]

longer from shoulder to should that foot to head lol

[SCWolf]

Steroids isn't something I think I'll be doing. It doesn't seem like something worth the effort or money. These are my reasons.

1. They cost money.
2. They require needle in le butt.
3. Generally aren't good for you.
4. When you come off, you shrink.
5. I've been straight edge my entire life. Drugs have effected my family adversely.

My goal is to be the best I can be naturally. I wanted to be healthier and happier with myself going into this. I don't need to be huge to be happy with myself. It's not my main focus in life anyway.

[kmay]

losing weight would be so much easier if i didnt work till 11 at night like 4 days a week. and no time to eat at work so i eat when i get home.... lesigh

[Senip]

take stuff in a tupperware and eat it cold, thats what I do.

[kmay]

we aren't allowed to eat lol
