Re: The Fitness Thread

They spelled decades wrong. But really that guy has to be the most massive person living. 320 pounds with abs?? The fuck.

Naw pretty sure it's true, there's a pic of him from 2011: http://s7.postimg.org/lj0glijdn/4056...52673361_n.jpg

You'd be surprised what huge amounts of gear can do. Look at what Bostin loyd did in 1 year: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/s4gGfEEC-X4/maxresdefault.jpg

And he told us what he took, and when he went to the same trainer that Dallas uses apparently he couldn't even handle the amount of gear he would need to take to get that big for more than 3 weeks.

I can't imagine how much shit ramy took. lmao

Re: The Fitness Thread

Yeah but theyre saying 3 years, total training. 1 year of training with lats like that etc is fucking insane.

Must be nice to live in Egypt (or kuwait, wherevz) where drugs are pure and you wont go to jail.

I take it back, this article says 2003.

Dorian Yates, later it was Victor Martinez. Due to an incident he got to quit working out after only 7 month.

Re: The Fitness Thread

weighed in at 176.3 at 6'0, 5 months ago I was 210

exercised rarely, stopped drinking soda, only eat sweets rarely. Started buying 24 packs of water and carrying bottles on me

Surprised to see so much progress from so little physical effort hahaha, guess sugar has quite a lot of impact

carrying a bottle of water around is the best way i can think to stay in shape.. makes you not drink tons of sugar crap. when i stopped drinking soda in high school and exercising regularly weight just shed off

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.

Oh, well yeah obviously he has been working out for more than 3 years. I mean, in his pic from 2011 that I posted he's still gigantic. He looks like he's way way over 200 lbs. He didn't wake up looking like that. Probably took years to get to that point lmao

But he probably only started jumping on olympia level gear 3 years ago.

That's not overtraining. That's just training more, and sounds fine. Overtraining is when you train to a point that you actually lose strength and muscle mass.

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

Hit 3-plate bench for the first time Monday evening and hit 235x3 (actually 4, but the 4th was with a spot ) on incline bench!

Re: The Fitness Thread

I decided to get into fitness because a girl I cared about hurt me pretty bad, and already self-conscious me was hit with a ton of figurative bricks.
