Here is my awesome weightlifting program which you should do because it's great and I'm great.
I am in a "bulking cycle" and am eating a ton of food and am always super hungry but I am lifting things and RAWR. I think I'm going to have to join a gym because things like calf raises and shrugs are just killing my grip, and I have little girl legs because I can only squat however much I can clean, which isn't much.
Tube on
If you'd like an anime thread, please PM me to discuss it. Include pics/video of your favorites.
I lift big fuck off boxes for four hours each morning five days a week. Since I started the job, my strength has probably increases at least 50%. I used to be a little girly man, now I'm a stronger little girly man.
Hey Tube, could you describe a couple things in your workout for me?
First, so you have days 1, 2, and 3, and then abdominal days. Does this mean something along these lines: Monday, weights, Tuesday, abdominals, Wednesday, weights, Thursday, abdominals, Friday, weights, Saturday, abdominals, Sunday, rest?
Second, could you describe these workouts: pullovers, bent over row, and I guess deadlift. Or, is deadlift a clean, but without the up part?
I really recommend the book Starting Strength which contains a 50 page guide to doing the deadlift properly.
You're dead on with the ab workouts. I'm trying to work my abs harder at the moment because I've been lazy about doing abs for the whole of the last year, and if I want to have decent abs when I cut, that won't do. I do something like this program
God damn have I had the worst cold this week, not done shit - next week will be better. A workout before work always gives me a load of energy during the day, which makes no sense. Always wake up with these horrific boners during the night when I've been to the gym, too... not that anyone needs to know that.
Hopefully when I go back on monday the new years resolution retards will have gotten bored and fucked off - doing curls in front of the squat rack is asking for a kick in the nuts D:
I've never encountered this until recently, and when I did, it infuriated me to the point where I almost threw a ten pound plate at the douchebag's head like a discus.
I made sure to grunt and yell a lot when I went heavy on squats when the other dude on squats left, so maybe I could get the idea across passively, that, the squat rack was for squats, not your faggot ass curls.

I am for gloves when I remove things from the oven
Real men go arm-deep up two children's asses and remove things from the oven using the kids' teeth, operating them like an expensive fleshy sock puppet.
All right, here's what you're going to do. You're going to take all the weight on your neck. Then you're going to jam your legs down and hyperextend your ankles, and then shoot back up and lock your knees in place.

Well since I posted in the last topic I have lost about 20 pounds or so
If I keep up the current rate I would be as muscular as I was before I was shot when I was in the marines
so, i'm like 215ish, 5'10, and obv not all muscle.
Ideally, i'd like to get back down to about 180, which is where i was when i wrestled.
Unfortunately, my shoulders are shit and probably need surgery, so lifting has been painful, and i probably can't do much until i get some decent insurance soon, and get into either PT or get under the knife.
So, for the time being, what kind of probably cardio-heavy regimen can i get into to be less of a fatty?
I have a pretty reasonable diet, so that's not the area I need work on.
well, i'm not just eating salads and tuna, but i rarely (once a month maybe) drink soda, don't eat fast food, eat plenty of veggies and get sufficient protein from mostly skinless chicken, and turkey.
Tomorrow if off to the gym to build some maximal strength! yay.
Also Defender: To build more grip strength, try throwing your gi over a pullup bar and do pullups gripping the gi. Also you can get a rice bucket and just twist and grab the crap out of it.
Well my training has been going swell. After busting my ass in the off season the track season finally started for me and I opened up with a provisional qualifying time for nationals in the 55 dash. I'm currently ranked 12th, but for this early in the season when I'm not anywhere near my peak thats really good for me.
The past two years I didn't hit a national mark until late February.
Todays workout was pretty light. Hills with walk back recovery.

Oh shit, I forgot about that. Now that I have a proper judo gi, I should do that. Of course, I don't have a damn pullup bar where I live, but I'll probably move soon anyway.

Looks like I won't be working out for a while.
if you work with radioactive materials, go ahead and use gloves. In the gym, don't.
what if you walk on your hands?
or use them as brakes?
because when I was still in the chair or on the sticks, I wore awesome gloves.

Caesar dressing is often pretty unhealthy. Look at the ingredients and nutritional data.

not discouraged though, nowhere to go but up

There are a million other places to do curls, not the goddamn squat rack.
a bowl of cereal. Special K Redberries (I shouldn't be eating them since I wanna gain, but they're crazy awesome)
EXERCISE: none. And I think we've got the lousiest PE program at school
curls can go fuck off and be done with a spare barbell away from the squat rack. in fact, curls can be done everywhere but the squat rack.
squats can only be done at the squat rack.
therefore, get the fuck out of my rack.
Squatting is so much fun
I love that show, Danny Devito plays it perfectly

Get it? Lead with that? Shit I crack me up.

I just did it for the first time in like a month, way to cut filler, and it kicked my ass.
Fuckin 20 minutes on the eliptical and 15 on the bike.
Bike was fine, but the eliptical is destroying me.
they do like 80% of the pulling
god I hate that exercise
I'm 6'5'' so I figured, aside from general outofshapness, that my legs might not be getting the lenght of strides they need.
The past two years I didn't hit a national mark until late February.
Todays workout was pretty light. Hills with walk back recovery.
3x300m, 2x200m, 3x100m
followed by a light recovery weight circuit.
