[QUOTE=Eleven;47075979]How do you guys deal with DOMS? Do you just work though it or just wait until it goes away?[/QUOTE] Can't really do much about it I think other than rest. Unfortunately for me my work involves constantly moving heavy cartons, not fun to squat and pick up even a 20kg box off of the bottom of a pallet the day after leg day.

[QUOTE=Eleven;47075979]How do you guys deal with DOMS? Do you just work though it or just wait until it goes away?[/QUOTE] I usually postpone my workout until I'm fully healed if the DOMS are too bad. Shouldn't happen too often if you're on a split schedule tho.

for me personally a hot bath helps with doms as does working out the muscles that are affected slightly (like squats with no bar if my legs ache)

A cold bath would be better. Even starting hot/warm and going down to cold so you can handle it a little better. Cuts off circulation a bit so when you get out it stimulates blood flow, which helps with recovery. Same effect as compression therapy.

even if it helps more nnnnnnnnnnnahhh

I usually try to massage the muscle or the most common that has been mention. Wait.

Problem about me with squats is mostly since my spine is fucked up, i barely can go over 250 pounds without having any back pain. But i can usually leg press about 500-620 pounds at least.

Actually now that I've been reminded, is there any point to doing half-squats? It's just that when I do squats I go all the way and have my thighs go parallel (I think slightly beyond actually) relative to the ground, but I see a lot of people at the gym stop when their thighs get to like 30 degrees from parallel if even that. Not sure if they're doing it wrong of if I'm doing it wrong or if both are proper workouts.

[QUOTE=Waterpi;47075573]still got that fukken insane bench (squat too im struggling with bloody 250). What injuries you got/had? Also, not doing the deads?[/QUOTE] no my bench is shit, my lower body is normally miles ahead of it. I lowbar squatted atg 525 lbs when i was like 17 as a junior in high school, and deadlifted 500+ as a sophomore as well but stopped doing them because they interfered with olympic lifting/throwing. Tendonitis in both knees, right one was cracking for a while. Lower back pain from throwing and improper form, and some occasional groin injuries which seem to be reoccurring.

when I get DOMS I just hobble around like an old man until I can get into bed and then I just stay there

Queef I feel dem knee issues so much. My legs are strong but my numbers haven't ever really showed it since loading up my knees a ton makes em hurt. I've been working hard on my squat lately though, gotten it up to probably 375ish from probably 300 after football ended just by doing a shitton of legs and icing my knees after :v:. I've dislocated both kneecaps, severely sprained my left ACL last year, p bad left meniscus tear in my left knee(doesn't ever really hurt though for some reason), sprained my right MCL and ACL this year. Hopefully doing legs two days a week will help me out!

Keep your legs healthy, be careful with squats and overdoing plyometrics, especially since your already having issues. I never had knee problems until I started getting heavy, so you need to watchout as your bulking. I was approaching 270 a few months ago but decided to cut down because of injuries, partly due to that excessive weight.

[QUOTE=joshdasmif;47073649]I always get shaky and sweaty when I am injecting steroids, does it get easier lol feel like such a wimp[/QUOTE] tbh you started using steroids after 3 weeks of lifting you think trenbolone isnt androgenic you think androgens cause gyno you say you're not using testosterone because you're worried about gyno, but then you go and swallow 30mg of dianabol a day At this point I wouldnt be surprised to find out you're injecting oil into a vein

I knew there was a reason I had that fucking moron on my ignore list. Taught my friend how to DL today, it was cute seeing her struggle with 70lbs.

Leg pressed 920 for 3 sets of 5. Hnnnnng, the heavier weights feel so good versus just pushing lighter. Worked my way down to 400 pounds in increments of 100 (diamond set? started at 300x5, 400x5, 500x5 and so on to 920x5 and back down but going to absolute fail instead of 5) and repped 400 out. I could go heavier than 920 but I felt it would compromise stability, depth, and form. This was yesterday. Same day we basically did everything we murdered the day before again... barely. Sore as hell, took this day off, hitting it hard tomorrow. Going to the bar in a TOGA on saturday with a buncha guys because why the hell not. Such is life.

Cycling creatine is just a ploy by supplement companies to make you use more of it right?

Yep, so is loading it.

tbh i find creatine to be a scam in general, i have no noticeable performance difference when i'm adding creatine to my diet ill never finish that 500 scoop micronized powder

I'm the same, I'm aware that creatine isn't magic but I expected to at least feel a really small boost which I did not.

So did lunges properly for the first time in forever 2 days ago Holy shit my ass just stopped being sore today. My body gets so used to doing the same 4-6 leg exercises that throwing something in that you never ended up doing just makes you feel it for days Hard to find a varied leg workout day since I feel like there are only so many ways to work your legs that are actually worth doing

[QUOTE=Heigou;47081900]I'm the same, I'm aware that creatine isn't magic but I expected to at least feel a really small boost which I did not.[/QUOTE] Different strokes for different folks, I went from using whey with creatine, to just whey, and my results and workout performance diminished. Went back to using a supplement with creatine, and my results jumped back to where they were. I'm currently at a plateau, I currently don't eat enough calories to build any more muscle.

Had a free gym today so I got my m8 to record me doing lifts Heres me front squatting [video=youtube;XEI1fcn4QDE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEI1fcn4QDE[/video]

[QUOTE=aznz888;47072877]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)[/QUOTE] oh yeah i mean i dont mean to sound like the green as grass completely oblivious guy, most of what i know was read from here actually :v: and yeah i get the routine thing, basically im looking for a good 90 day routine to ease me into making this a consistent thing in my life

screw 90 days just make a three days a week commitment as a beginner [editline]6th February 2015[/editline] it'll take maybe a month for you to get used to it. i get fidgety if i don't lift after these two years.

Very good. I looked at a video of me doing same weight for 5 back in August. Didn't go to the same depth, really just broke parallel. You look a bit too pigeon toed though. Some amount is alright but you look a bit too extreme. Also what I would fucking do to have some proper bumpers like that....some days I really just wanna buy some.

Okay so how do I tell a coach who I respect a lot that cycling creatine is bullshit in a polite way. He knows a lot about football and baseball and was really good back in his day, but when it comes to supplement advice he really doesn't know much. I keep lying to him telling him I'm cycling creatine "responsibly" and taking my casein before I go to bed like a good kid, but I can't take it anymore. I know this isn't the social advice thread, but I figure everyone here has at least some experience with dealing with bad trainers. [editline]5th February 2015[/editline] Also guys I found my new favorite song to lift to. [video=youtube;XtW6HW8jO_U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtW6HW8jO_U[/video] Something about selling blow and lifting heavy things goes together

Present him with actual evidence or a well thought out argument?

[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;47085411]Present him with actual evidence or a well thought out argument?[/QUOTE] wow I'm an idiot. That seems like the most reasonable course of action.

[QUOTE=dilzinyomouth;47078459]tbh you started using steroids after 3 weeks of lifting you think trenbolone isnt androgenic you think androgens cause gyno you say you're not using testosterone because you're worried about gyno, but then you go and swallow 30mg of dianabol a day At this point I wouldnt be surprised to find out you're injecting oil into a vein[/QUOTE] 3 weeks intense lifting yeah, I mean I've always had dumbells and did an alright amount of exercise since the age of 15 or so. Tren ace is less likely to cause gyno compared to test which is why I am taking it, dbol and test is pretty androgenic whilst I find tren and dbol quite manageable I have previously done a month cycle of 30mg dianabol before christmas, got a little "test flu" but pulled through fine so this is my stacking the dbol with tren now, 2 months later I always aspirate the needle to check for blood, I have yet to find any blood enter the needle after doing this and I slowly inject taking 1-2 minutes for 0.5cc's of tren I alternate between right glute, left shoulder, left glute, right shoulder. Shoulder is the worst tho, for some reason it hurts

oh boy why do i even bother [editline]6th February 2015[/editline] I had this massive response written out, but I scrapped it after I had a moment of clarity and realized some people are too stupid to be helped, and a massive calm washed over me
