Weightlifting/Bodybuilding Thread V.7 - let's see if more people care about themselves - General

I wouldn't do jumping exercises with lifting shoes on. Was wearing adipowers and landed on the outward side of my left foot and it was pretty much crushed and completely broke a bone

[QUOTE=Fusnax;47767416]Yeah, asked the trainer and I asked him to check and he said it was good 48kg, and I was only able to do it 7 times per 4 sets But by my back hurts, it was only after I finished them, and had the tension in the back there, but now I think it is gone Honestly though, I think I started with too much weight for my first time, hopefully I can lift it more times next time I do them[/QUOTE] Back tightness or actual spinal-ish pain? It could be your hips are shooting up too quickly so you try and good morning the deadlift and that puts excess strain on your back. Your back might be straight but just doing that could cause some pain. [editline]20th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=lexus04;47765491]motherfuckers just be glad you aint me I don't get a gut almost at all, you know what I do get? man tits, side man tits, back fat, love handles, and inside the thigh fat. this shit is annoying to lose, throws off caliper bf% calcs and looks terrible with no clothes on. when I used to be 25% it was fucking terrible. At least I have a thin waist to go with that I'm at approximately 16% ATM and cutting, my waist is 73cm and my chest is 95cm and I'm not hugely muscular, it's the side man tits that have the most upper body fat right now also it aint gyno either [editline]20th May 2015[/editline] at least it's a good drop to have when i get swole i guess[/QUOTE] are you me except I gain fat in all my legs as well, so no nice calf definition from being fat all these years until I'm at a good bf

looks like this phaggot is back lost a lot after first year of college after getting sick a lot and generally just not caring. still pretty big overall but my forearms got skinny looking af as they usually do when i dont lift for a while on the plus side did coke for the first time

my knees popped almost every time i went down in my squats today i didn't feel any pain except from an unusual soreness after my workout (in my knees) is this a problem? [editline]20th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Rofl_copter;47767808] on the plus side did coke for the first time[/QUOTE] is that lifting terminology for something or

not a doctor but my shit pops all the time, don't think it's a big deal. maybe do more stretching beforehand and make sure your form is tip-top [editline]d[/editline] mike katz is a goddamn neanderthal wtf [IMG]http://images.t-nation.com/forum_images/a/c/ac84b-mikekatz2_1.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Lukeo;47767447]Make sure you look at some good in-depth instructional videos on how to do the lift, trainers aren't always experts. My back will feel tight after, but never any pain. Perhaps have someone take a video next time, your lower back should be as neutral as possible. I only do 1x5 though having slowly gone up from 60kg to 110kg.[/QUOTE] Oh man. I did 36 deadlifts on leg day the other day, after already doing 36 squats, and starting from sets of 100kg for seven and pyramid-ing down in weight it just absolutely fucked my lower body. Not from bad form or anything, but my legs were like jelly the day after and walking around it looked like I was on the receiving end of hard anal the night before. [editline]21st May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Valon Kyre;47765354]All the muscle shape and definition just comes with growth, how tall are you? Its only been recently at 225 where I'm getting the actual rounded muscle shape rather than the "thick stick" look, and thats only with a pump. I'm the same way with where I store my fat, just be happy it isnt to your ass or legs. Bulk hard to the end and train to match, if your skinny to begin with chances are you'll get at a certain level of fat and stay there, losing it will be easy. At the least thats how i was, I bulked up hard but I could never get to a really fat look, the scale kept going up but I had no visible gain in fat. Being tall and long limbed is part of being tall. If your 6'4 your wing span is 6'4. Love that your tall, when you get huge you'll know that nothing is cooler than lifting next to the jacked 5'9 guy and dwarfing him even if your not as built. And when you do get built, ho-buddy, a jacked 6'4 guy is terrifying.[/QUOTE] Yeah I actually am exactly 6'4 and tbh when I'm wearing clothes I don't even look fat at all, my slim fit shirts are medium sized. I'm at about 78kg now and yeah most if any fat I have is around my gut. It's weird because like there's little fat on my back so when looking in the mirror I can see heaps of definition.

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;47768573]Wait do I need special lifting shoes? All I wear is tennis shoes...[/QUOTE] no, you dont really need them. some people just like to use them because it can give them more support when doing something like squats where its good to push up through the heels, hence the kinda raised heel part on the adipower lifting shoes.

I've gotten by pretty well with my old wrestling shoes. Keeps the foot compressed and doesn't have any kind of overly thick sole.

Quick question boys I'm going to the gym in half an hour. I have a can of rockstar in the fridge which I want to have today. It is absofuckinglutely loaded with sugar. Do I have it: - before gym - during gym - after gym Keeping in mind it's 9:30PM and I've been awake since midday.

None of the above, dont need that crap

Yeah I know that was a one off thing hence I've never asked before because I haven't done it before. Was from an impulse buy yesterday. [editline]21st May 2015[/editline] I ended up doing before and during, probably looked like a massive wanker thank god only 2 other people were there

If you really want to just get your heart going or your mind running, just make black tea or brew coffee.

protip: if you wanna stay awake and are about to eat a caffeine pill with some cough syrup for the EC, do it before the big chicken meal basically, I ate mine after and then I passed out for 2 hours and woke up super energized weird as shit man

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;47771761]You're better off without Rockstar. If you really want to just get your heart going or your mind running, just make black tea or brew coffee.[/QUOTE] I didn't buy the rockstar because I wanted it for my workouts, I bought it because at the petrol station it was $5 for 2 and it had weird flavours like bubblegum and green apple which I was curious about. I thought I'd have them at the most productive time possible rather than while being lazy sitting on the couch ingesting 400 empty calories. My normal pre-workout is a coffee with one sugar at the most.

My fat distribution is annoying as FUCK! I only get love handles and like a lower belly gut, it's what I'm gonna try and work off during the summer football conditioning workouts. My arms are not fatty, nor is the upper part of my torso or my face, and my calves are lean and my legs are too mostly, its just that goddamn fucking love handle bull shit. I hate it

[video=youtube;V5i5Qz2IGJE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5i5Qz2IGJE[/video] Good shit! A mildly condensed Bikram yoga class (normally 90mins). Do this on your rest day and you won't regret ok. Bonus: [video=youtube;f3xS7vscadY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3xS7vscadY&index=1&list=LLrQkd-G942CEqZkiiaoLf2Q[/video] Misleading title, but still OH YESSS

oh my god I fucking hate it when I only feel deadlifts in my lower back why can I just not activate my hamstrings on some days? i'm so disappointed in myself fuck

It was after a hard day at work and was a 1.25L bottle of diet cola. Yeah I'm hoping no one here has a life so they can reply within minutes of me posting lol

diet cola is ok tho (at least in terms of affecting gains/fat/etc), not so much for general health probably, but it shouldn't affect your muscle gains or fat loss

how much weight gain do you guys usually try to aim for in a bulk?

All of it In all seriousness, for me its in 20-25 pound intervals over the course of 4 months or more, so 210-230 cut to 220, then 220-240 cut to 230, and so on

You can only gain about half a pound of muscle a week at best so aiming for 1lb weight gain a week is ideal. Go more if you want, last few times I bulked I averaged about 2lb a week and made some decent gains.

depends on your fitness level too you aint gonna be packing 1lb of muscle/week after 3 years of training for example, not even 1lb/month

Been to a little party today and didn't drink because I'm cutting. Instead decided to just have diet coke... 5 of them. Oh good lord. Sweeteners contain phenylalanine which have a laxative effect. Going to have to give the gym a miss today, if I squat even once I'll end up shitting.

Didnt drink since your cutting so you drank pop? Your cheating on your cut either way. I dont drink period so when I'm at parties I usually drink so much water that it dilutes my blood and makes me sort of drunk in a way. It gets gnarly if its after the gym
