I feel insignificant.. haha. 6'1 69kg/152pounds (before I was 62kg)
And here's a pic of me from years ago and me today, just started working out again after a [i]long[/i] period of eating junk and getting high all the time. Made a little gains so far I reckon

[QUOTE=Rhenae;47067947]I'm 4'11", if I were born a guy I would be the top height for a midget :v:
I'll have to see how low the thing sets up, but I'm guessing i'm probably gonna have to work something out a bit more than jumping[/QUOTE]
Maybe you should get a mini trampoline while youre at it :v:
That is such an insanely large image holy shittt
Also you could benefit from a bulk.
I'm 5'7 ~159lbs/72kg. Since I finally managed to bulk up past few months, my definition has gone down a bit but I still look alright. Still skinny too. Of course, though, your frame is gonna be naturally a bit more stocky and lanky.
[QUOTE=milktree;47070647]I snatched 135 lbs the first time today pretty easily but when I tried going up in weight the bar just kept falling forward every time at about mid- squat. I don't think I have an issue getting under the weight its just that I'm having trouble maintaing control of the bar[/QUOTE]
Probably should dedicate some sets to overhead squats. If your pull is good and the weight is getting overhead, the next logical weakness is the overhead position. Work your core and do more overhead squats. Treat the overhead squats as an accessory lift. Probably know this but figured I'd reply anyway.
Cant you work out and then give blood?
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;47071209]If I give blood tomorrow, should I skip working out that day?
I want to workout and I want to give blood, but the latter will probably be a priority (especially cause it's leg day, heh)[/QUOTE]
[Largely] Depends on how you feel. But, from what I read, since I once had a blood test on a workout day and wanted to know the same thing, it is ok to lift. You're not gonna lose enough blood to make physical activity nigh impossible, no matter what the doc tells you. Although, personally I usually was a bit too tired most times I had to give blood, so like I said, see how you feel.
Queef with your size you could have EASILY played D1 defensive tackle or some shit! Why'd you choose shotput?
Looking to start lifting, how do I determine a good starting weight?
With the bodyweight stuff, male gymnasts tend to use bodyweight alone and are reasonably large. Right now, I'm experimenting with a few workouts like holding a handstand with my elbows at 90 degree angles. After a little bit, my arms very similar to how you would feel while lifting actual weights. Although, I'm still looking for a good routine to land on because I'm constantly switching things up.
[QUOTE=Rhenae;47068811]Primarily cause i'm renting this place and I may not weight much but it'll be mounted on the door frame and I don't wanna mess anything up and have to pay for it, ya know?[/QUOTE]
I'm 173-177 and do routines with a weighted vest. I think you'll be fine.
[QUOTE=Deadman123;47071619]Queef with your size you could have EASILY played D1 defensive tackle or some shit! Why'd you choose shotput?[/QUOTE]
I wasn't big enough in highschool, or strong enough at the time. Now I feel like I could, but that times past and I don't want to deal with all the injuries that come along with it.
I got preferred walk on status to a D-1A school purely based off of potential. I'm 195~200 right now and the next smallest DE on the team has 40lbs on me. I can't wait to see what I look like at 240.
Bleach Queef, you're on your way to bear mode / door-width mode. So fucking jealous, good job man.
Also, Renegade, I'd just skip working out today to not risk fainting, especially since it's leg day.
Recently found myself visiting the school's (actually pretty nice) fitness lab, alongside just having started a class that's basically "ok for the next 90 days make a routine and do it"
I'm not a huge guy but im not the worlds smallest either, I'm about 5'9 and 140 lbs so call me pretty middle of the road. What I'm looking to do is gain some mass and do some decent toning, not looking to be ripped just wanna look good in short sleeves/on the beach.
Basically I'm just a little lost on how to figure out a good routine. I'm looking for arm, chest, and collarbone areas (I've got a bony neck region, basically my fatal flaw :v: ), though obviously ill work on everything because im also looking to take care of my body.
Also, when my cousin was living around here, he used to do a whole bunch of body work (he's a firefighter and whatnot so no shocker there), and he always had like protein powder and whatnot. Could someone explain that to me, and is that a worthwhile investment for what im looking for?
as a blood donor, i suggest skipping the workout for the day; your body will be missing more than a litre of fluid and your muscles' performance will suffer.
however, i always feel fine after i donate blood (never experience dizzyness or tiredness) so you might as well try if you're up to it

tbh 5'9 and 140 lbs is essentially considered skeletonmode in the fitness thread
ill tell you right now, there is no physical way to pack on muscle without packing on fat with it. none. you dont go from skinny to ripped overnight, either. a strong sculpted physique is something that takes YEARS to gradually build up.
drop the idea of toning, and in fact drop everything you possibly know about nutrition and fitness. 80_90% of what you believe has most likely been deeply influenced by what you've seen on the internet and on TV, and most of that shit is completely fake and done for the money.
if you want to get serious, you're going to need an actual routine. note that a serious routine DOES NOT MEAN you will become a hulking monster muscle beast -- most "toned" physiques are built on fairly strong fundamental programs. if you want to look good, you have to BE good.
there's billions more that any experienced lifter can tell you in this thread, so start slow.
also, protein powder is a great supplement on top of your meals -- it is in no way intended to be your only source of protein(thats why its supplementary)
I've had two next level football teams actively trying to get me to play for a while now. I usually see their players in the gym and they end up telling their coaches and other players about me and come back begging me to play. I may try again later (2 years from now?), there is a window I can play and then thats it. Cant imagine coming back after not playing for 3-5 years, 6'4 240 of solid muscle (or so i hope I hit that by then!!), 405 bench, 500 squat, 600+ dead lift or something stupid like those

God i fucking love smashing kids as defensive end
[QUOTE=Virtanen;47072345]Looking to start lifting, how do I determine a good starting weight?[/QUOTE]
pick a program, and stick with it. i'll always recommend Stronglifts 5x5 as the ultimate newbie program, though not all agree with me.
consistency is key -- learn before you lift.

valon can you post a glute pic someday no homo
I always get shaky and sweaty when I am injecting steroids, does it get easier lol feel like such a wimp
The first sesh with my friend took 2 hours and I think all told we did maybe 9-10 sets of OHP and then 3-4 sets of shrugs. I think I'd enjoy 5/3/1 a lot more if I was doing it by myself and not having to take the time to show proper form to someone.
I hope it gets better in a few weeks because at this point I feel like I'm barely lifting.
havent visited this thread in ages.
where is yellowbrah
and to answer the faggot that asked who doorbrah is - we idk if we still do give people nicknames
pic related is door brah. pretty sure its a nickname form /fit/

How do you guys deal with DOMS? Do you just work though it or just wait until it goes away?
[QUOTE=Eleven;47075979]How do you guys deal with DOMS? Do you just work though it or just wait until it goes away?[/QUOTE]
avoid working out the muscles that is affected. Contiue on - If it lasts until next workout that has the same muscles that you have doms on then just do a lighter workout.
