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.

    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.

    so are you just totally against gloves forever in every situation or are there times in which they are appropriate

    if you work with radioactive materials, go ahead and use gloves. In the gym, don't.

    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.

    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.

    To be fair, it tells you in starting strength to start curls from the rack.

    Starting Strength is sadly mistaken in that belief then, Tube. I am sorry, but it is.

    There are a million other places to do curls, not the goddamn squat rack.

    SO FAR:

    EXERCISE: none. And I think we've got the lousiest PE program at school

    the 'squat' rack wasn't made for exclusively doing squats, you know

  • DefenderDefender Registered User regular
    Just put the bar right on your neck, drop down as fast as you can, then jerk back up and hyperextend your knees really hard.

    No, I can do deadlifts, t-bar rows, powercleans, calf raises, lunges, shrugs, etc from the squat rack.

    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.

    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.

    Squatting is so much fun

    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

    You were shot? That's much more interesting than the rest of your post. You should have lead with that.

    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.

  • DefenderDefender Registered User regular
    Are you really really double-super-secret-sure it's not your diet?

    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.

    I'm sure it could be better, but i'm not bad

  • TubeTube Administrator, ClubPA, SolidSaints Tube admin
    I was super tired today and didn't wnat to work out, but I got in there and did two exercises so I feel ok. My shoulder was hurting a bit though

    Today I jogged to the fire department (it's about half a mile from my apartment) and used their pullup bars.

    My workout was

    40 burpess
    20 pullups
    40 bodyweight squats
    40 pushups

    then without resting

    30 burpees
    15 pullups
    30 bodyweight squats
    30 pushups

    then

    20 burpees
    10 pullups
    20 bodyweight squats
    20 pushups

    and then I quit because I was dead tired.

    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.

    Oh god, I suck at cardio.

    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.

  • ZeroFillZeroFill Registered User regular
    if the elliptical is wearing you out, it's probably your back muscles that are running out of juice

    they do like 80% of the pulling

  • ZeroFillZeroFill Registered User regular
    also fuck burpees in their stupid ass

    god I hate that exercise

  • Filler Inc.Filler Inc. Registered User
    It was my quads and calves.

    I'm 6'5'' so I figured, aside from general outofshapness, that my legs might not be getting the lenght of strides they need.

  • JyardanaJyardana Registered User regular
    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.

    3x300m, 2x200m, 3x100m

    followed by a light recovery weight circuit.

    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.
