shit. no steroids for me Couldn't tell that that body type demanded it

Pretty much anybody who isnt really, really lean are on the roids. It's really difficult to maintain the muscle mass thats needed to get that look. That guys probably 200-210, and the body just doesnt want to stay that lean, at that weight.

To give you an idea of what types of physiques are possible without juicing:


A guy I know that has won several bodybuilding competitions up here in the great white north; he has been working out for about 5 years. He only looks like this on season: http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l4...f/DSC_0449.jpg

For most of the year though, not nearly that cut looking. It is very hard to maintain that degree of leanness without chemical assistance.

For example; Matt Ogus pre-competition: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zUfcgpAHex..._7101822_n.jpg

What he looks like normally: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SuQ94kBbvM8/0.jpg


Not that it wouldn't be fun to take the sauce. I mean, then you can engage in narcissistic activities such as: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD6IjBUDFhc&t=13m45s

Re: The Fitness Thread

Speaking of roids, I met two IFBB pros at the gym today. This dude was maybe an inch or two taller than me, and he was weighin 300 pounds, with a waist smaller than mine. **** those guys. I want to get that big

Hey Reach, have you tried the fascia stretches? Check out http://www.intensemuscle.com/showthread.php?t=9527

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.

Re: The Fitness Thread

Looks like this hits pretty much every major muscle other than triceps pretty directly.

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

SLDLs and dead lifts hit different things. SLDLs hit hamstrings and ass, Dead lifts nail your entire body (full back, chest, traps, hammies).

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

Re: The Fitness Thread

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.

Re: The Fitness Thread

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.
