So far, I've lost 4 pounds.

Now I've lost 6 pounds.

[TakeAStepBack]

I lose between 4-6 pounds every morning.

Now I've lost 6 pounds.

dude, just add a couple cannoli's to every meal & you'll be fine

[halfstar]

I gained 8 pounds yesterday.

[TakeAStepBack]

You need a new scale, mang.

definitely this

are your workouts high weight / low reps. Most things I've read suggest that if you're looking to bulk up, you should be working out with weight levels near 90% of your max lifting capability and continually trying to up that weight. The brahnolds at my gym lift huge amounts of weight, but only do sets of say 6 reps.

That's a ball shrinking workout though. You gain mass, sure...but its all uncut.

[deadheadskier]

I don't know man. These brahnolds are huge and ripped. I assume they've been working out for years though. The one dude in particular that I'm thinking of is 5'8ish, I'm guessing 210. I was doing incline dumbell presses next to him yesterday and brahnold was doing flat dumbell presses with 125lb dumbells. impressive. When I first joined the gym back in November, I saw those dumbells and thought who in the hell could use those. I see people regularly benching 250+ with a barbell, but dumbells are way harder.

[TakeAStepBack]

Yeah, those are nut poppers. That's what im saying. is still at the lose the beer gut stage. He should prolly not be trying to overlift...prolly.

[deadheadskier]

I'm thinking possibly steroid'd with this brahnold as well.

[halfstar]

Brahs. This is all covered in the book. I was doing reps of 6 but not getting much bigger. I was getting stronger a bit I guess because I would increase weights once I could do 3 sets of 6 reps. Apparently I was not eating enough, which I knew.

Right now I am not even using weights. My routine is Swiss Ball Leg Passes, Some other Swiss Ball routine, Calf Raises, Planks, some other Plank like thing and Airplanes. I think next week I start back with the weights.

I think the point is to do more “core workouts” than isolation exercises.

Also, digital scale'd. 2 different ones that have the same results. Accurate'd.

[TakeAStepBack]

careful with those swiss ball presses......

[halfstar]

Passes not presses. Pretty much an ab routine. The other one (I forget what it is called) is more of a quad, glutes, ab routine.

[TakeAStepBack]

Pass, press...whatevs..

[deadheadskier]

You need to do compound exercises like squats and power cleans and bench press, not core or any isolations. Compound exercises = ripped. Google Ripptoe workout. That'll get you huge.

http://www.bodybuild.../fun/wotw52.htm


man.......reading this makes me think 'I'm doing it wrong'


Unless my work schedule screws me up, my routine is this:

Monday: Biceps and Back.
Tuesday: Abs/Cardio
Wednesday: Legs and Shoulders
Thrusday: Abs/Cardio
Friday: Chest and Tris / Cardio
Weekends: One day of Abs/Cardio

Each day has between 7 and 10 different exercies at 3 sets of 10. So, 21 to 30 sets of ten.

Ripptoes workouts are only 3 or 4 exercies at 3 sets of 5.

That's FAR less time in the gym. Not sure I want to give that a shot or not as I'm not looking to bulk anything except for my arms a little bit. More interested in toning.

Maybe doing his routine, but instead of high weight at 3x5 go with a lower weight at 3x10???

Yeah that is what it talks about. Right now I am in the "corrective" phase. The weights start in Phase II...

Feelin' good today after last night. The results/recovery drink works good. Can't wait to get down to business........bruh.

[TakeAStepBack]

#1?

Before:

Not bad, not bad. looks like you could use a toning...and some more ab rippers.

[deadheadskier]

This morning was cardio, though I slacked on the abs.

In a perfect week it's:

Monday: Arms / Back
Tuesday: Abs / Cardio
Wednesday: Legs / Shoulders
Thursday: Abs / Cardio
Friday: Moobs and Tris
weekend: try and do something fun for cardio both days.


I'm never perfect though. I get my lifting in.....cardio and abs, the things I need the most I slack on

[TakeAStepBack]

WC: did plyometrics in the boxer shorts. Lots of jumping, sweaty knees kept getting caught by shorts and restricting motion. Oh noes!

This work is a real SOB. In a good way.

[halfstar]

The results/recovery drink works good.

What he says can be applied to slow pace body building.
If you're heart rate is racing every workout and doing intense muscle confusion, bruh. Then this is the stuff fer champs, bruh.

I need to get a pull-up bar, a dip bar and a cable rack/system. All in one would be awesome. Possibly a squat station(?), also. Recs? Keep in mind that I am not a libtardo, and am price conscious (aka cheap).

That drink looks expensive. Wow. Thanks. I'll look into it further.

[TakeAStepBack]

I'll look into the items you seek..

The drink is a bit expensive, but i tell ya it is worth it.
I'm goign to need 2 more tubs before my cycle is up, but being a member I get a nice discount and free shipping.

Plyometrics kicked my ass big time kanger'd last night. I'm having trouble moving today.....

why not just join a gym? Planet Fitness runs deals all the time. $99 for the year. You'll have all the wookout equipment you need and never have to worry about repairing or replacing equipment when it breaks down.

I am too lazy to have to go somewhere to work out. Plus, it is a recurring expense, it never ends. It is more pricey in the long run. I told you I am cheap.

[deadheadskier]

The maintenance and replacement costs of home equipment is a reoccuring expense as well.........

suit your self working out in mom's basement

I'll be at the gym getting buff with the brahmigas

and I do pretty much avoid the locker room at the gym at all costs. I feel like saying to some of these guys, "Dude, you're 80 years old. Pick your balls off the floor and cover yourself up."
