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

You ever figure that what works for you doesn't work for others? Having my friend there really helps push me where I'd otherwise stop working out.

hi friends been lifting ppl for a solid month, feeling big and sexy compared to my SL5x5 days. p.s. hit 265 deadlift today @ 158 bw, working out forearms is paying off

ppl is fucking great I've seen more gains after a month of PPLPPLx than several months GSLP3x5, the frequency and volume really do it for me

[QUOTE=lexus04;47945442]ppl is fucking great I've seen more gains after a month of PPLPPLx than several months GSLP3x5, the frequency and volume really do it for me[/QUOTE] Probably anything is better than GSLP. The volume and variation of exercises is so low.

Woh how did I miss this thread again Anyways How important is a post workout shake? Because lately with how I've been eating I hit all the protein I need through my food anyways (some of the food I make I mix protein powder in too i.e. morning oats). [editline]13th June 2015[/editline] Best thing about PPL is that its so easy to adjust for your schedule, goals or lifestyle I.e. I do PPxLxPP, typically hit 16-20 sets depending on time, and it hits good while not taking too much time. If I wanted to ramp up the difficulty and time spent at gym I could take out a rest day and add more sets of my choosing per workout and have that work. Though for me what I am doing now feels sufficiently challenging enough, plus I've been seeing results.

fish oil of peace

PPL is best, been doing it for like 2 years. I love it because you don't really need to change anything for hypertrophy or strength, just change your reps and do the same shit.

Good news: I did so well at D end last game that I'm now the teams starting D end. Bad news: We lost today, so no play off's :(

i know that feeling, cathaltoy660606 also, the guy who opens/closes the weight room i go to has a lifting schedule like this: [L][L][x][L][L][x][x] L = lift x = rest basically, mon-tues-thurs-frid. what kind of ppl variation can i impose onto that schedule?

Its probably an upper/lower split, imo the best of all splits

You can also have a two-day push-pull split, where you'd bundle quadriceps on push day (squats) and hamstrings on pull day (stiff-leg deadlifts). It actually kinda makes sense as eg your hamstrings are working heavily as stabilisers on bent-over rows (if you're at almost parallel to the ground, pendlay rows). However both of those exercises make use of your glutes so I dunno really. Anyways an example of how that split would work: Push: - overhead press - bench press - inclined cable fly - squat - tricep extension Pull: - pull-up - barbell row - face pull - stiff-leg deadlift (or leg curl) - bicep curl

Is cottage cheese a good post-workout meal?

no you'll lose all of your muscle

Shit too late.

Cottage cheese is good stuff, dry is good too. I mix it with EVERYTHING, fruit, nuts, yogurt, protein, its pretty neutral.

[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;47969411]Cottage cheese is good stuff, dry is good too. I mix it with EVERYTHING, fruit, nuts, yogurt, protein, its pretty neutral.[/QUOTE] I heard it's a good replacement for sour cream too.

Anything is a good replacement for sour cream, that shit nasty

Holy lord jesus like what wow holy Jesus Nachos Fuckin nachos bro Shits the cats pajamas with sour cream Reconsider your life

I'll restate: It's not nasty, just not my preferred topping

Cottage cheese is okay with potato but eh tbh I prefer lite sour cream if I'm having burritos or a vindaloo (yes I'm a pussy, I don't care). [editline]16th June 2015[/editline] For some reason I can't do decline bench anymore. It just seems I forgot how to do it with good form. Probably because I've taken up doing flat bench every push day once again and I forgot how good that was. The weight I'm lifting is lower than decline bench but I've progressed much faster. Probably good to change exercises around every now and then anyways.

Someone please cut off my legs when I'm sleeping, I don't want them anymore. These babies are like 40" long, someone around here must want to gain a few. The only catch is your squat will drop to prepubescent teenage girl levels.

Diet started yesterday. Bit of a rush to try and find good recipes as I launched into this without much prior planning, but I've been meaning to start for months, so I have. Plenty of good ingredients around the house to cobble stuff together, shouldn't be too hard. Need to keep telling myself this is a good thing to do, but even then any feelings of food guilt has disappeared which feels good. Only bad habit left to eliminate is drinking fruit juice (water dilution, not pure juice) but no idea how i'm going to make water interesting I'll start worrying about portions and calories after I have a solid meal plan together soon, which will be a huge change anyway from the high carb diet I was on before

kinda groce but i eat doritos with nonfat cottage cheese tastes p. good

Did 315x5 bench like it was nothin'!! That was after an assload of dips and front delts I think i got 315x8 in the bag along with 375 maaaybe. I did 355 a long time ago, goal is 405 this year oddly enough 225x5 felt heavier

Wow life is just not leaving me alone lol Pain in the left nut with what appears to be a lump, going to the hospital tomorrow but that shit screams of testicular cancer Oh well, on the bright side testicular cancer has an amazing survival rate and at worst I'll probably just have my left nut cut off, still fucking scary. Thanks for listening to me brahs, idk who else to tell this to but here.

I just don't have a history of good health, that's really reassuring though, I'll still go to be safe, free healthcare in Canada so it's not like I have any reason not to go even if it's nothing but a cyst Hoping for the best brahhh we all gon make it
