Thanks dudes. They're definitely a genetic strong point for me.

Re: The Fitness Thread
16.5 inch arms. Will shoot for 17+ on this bulk, hopefully not because of fatceps though.
16.5 inch calves. sweet baby jesus I've been BLASTING calves since June (switched to training them 4x a week) and can't believe that it has been working that well, they were 16.00. I mean, I've felt like they were growing, since they look way better, but nice to have confirmation especially now that calves and arms have finally evened out 8) (a year ago I was at about 15 arms 14.25 calves
)
If you wanna cripple yourself try this exciting calf routine: 10 sets of 10 on the standing calf raise machine or smith machine. you're required to squeeze each rep at the very top, slow negative without a bounce.
Superset with 10 sets of 10 standing body weight calf raises. No stopping or resting ever here, but you can keep the rests fast and explosive.
Do not drop the weight on the weighted sets until you fail to hit 10 reps.
OK it's not exciting at all, it's actually extremely painful albeit quick and effective. My calves feel like they're gonna blow right out of my leg by set 16 or so. Urg.Last edited by Reach; 09-2-2013, 01:54 PM.Comment

Rubix, defining fuckarounditis since 8/12/2012
In all seriousness, you and the rest of us all know you could lose weight without any exercise at all if you stuck with a proper diet.
My girlfriend started lifting with me, doing my routine 3 months ago. She also changed her diet to pretty much what I cook, which is mostly clean foods and about 1500 cal a day for her.
She has lost 15 lbs and currently reps: Deadlift 145x5, Squat 115x8, Incline Bench 70x8

Re: The Fitness Thread
At least for me I think a big problem is not having someone to do stuff with. Any time I do anything diet/exercise-related, I have no idea if I'm doing it right and I start second-guessing myself and losing motivation to keep with anything simply because I have too many questions at every step of the process.Comment

Re: The Fitness Thread
Rubix: just do extra exercises to compensate for the possible mistakes you could be making, lol. You can also watch Scott Herman's tutorials and make sure to use the mirrors at the gym.Comment

Re: The Fitness Thread
In my messed-up mind, that won't work at all: A big problem for me is wasting time. Here in NYC, work is exhausting and so when I get home, I don't want to put all that effort into doing something that's only like shit% efficient. I don't want to spend an hour in the gym only to find that I'm not burning many calories and not working the right muscle groups or developing bad habits that'll lead to injury later, etc.
You might argue "Well it's been a year and you're still fat," and this is true -- but the difference is that I didn't "waste" any time (since the past year I've largely spent getting better at CS/math-related stuff instead).
I'm also a very all-or-nothing thinker, so there's always that. I'm not the "just go to the gym and lift a bunch of shit and run a lot" type. I want to make sure I'm not making any dumb mistakes and that I'm doing the best I could be doing given any given situation.
Thing is I don't eat unhealthy most of the time. Maybe on weekends, but during the workweek, I've been sticking to turkey-wraps (just turkey + cheese + lettuce p. much) and water. Dinner is usually chicken + veggies.Comment

Re: The Fitness Thread
All you have to do is keep yourself at a calorie defecit and you'll lose weight though. You won't even have to step foot in a gym.Comment

Re: The Fitness Thread
I get the mindset, Rubix. You're a smart guy and are used to doing things precisely and settling for nothing but perfection (I remember when you tried to learn poker, lmao).
The thing with fitness though is that training is, for the most part, mindbogglingly simple. You just fucking move shit around and stimulate your muscles/burn calories.
The rest comes down to energy balance and
Most importantly consistency. Above all else, consistency matters more than anything in fitness. It's about a lifestyle change.
I see idiots all the time that barely know what the fuck they're doing in the gym, let alone in the kitchen, and make progress. How? They don't skip gym sessions and continue to go, month after month, year after year.
Is it optimal? Not even close. Does it work? Yes!Last edited by Reach; 09-3-2013, 07:53 PM.Comment
