i like doing dips with 125 pounds strapped to me. It helps me sleep at night knowing that if i weighed 300 pounds i could still do dips atleast
cum in me bro
What does it mean if my arms are not as sore anymore after a workout. Is it time to change shit up?
no it means you don't have an overload of lactic acid in your arms.
Not being sore doesn't mean you haven't used your muscles.
Nah, after a while some people don't get sore. Your muscle should still be a little stiff, if you feel like you haven't used your muscle make sure you are doing sets to like, exhaustion
and do like 5-6 sets not 3-4
i still get that annoying "CANNOT WALK UP STAIRS, NOODLE LEGS" soreness in my quads though x_x
longer reps tend to make muscles more sore because it makes lactic acid build up but lactic acid build up doesn't correlate with muscle growth.

whats the terrible advice b
[QUOTE=polarbear.;31567745]whats the terrible advice b[/QUOTE]
doing sets to exhaustion. Doing 5-6 sets instead of 3 or 4.
He said he wasn't getting sore the next day, would that not be an appropriate step to use more massel?
Saw some kids doing incline on a decline bench, with one friend passing the weight over his friends body for him to grab.
Lol'd.
Set them straight. Surprisingly, there was a lot of massive guys in the gym that day but no one except myself or my friend offered them any help. They were pretty thankful though.
Did 840lbs for 10 reps on leg press. Awwww yeah
When lifting weights, what's the breathing pattern?
Fuck yeah! First day at an actual gym instead of my house and I already bench 200 lbs! That's pretty good considering I only have been benching at my house with 2 45lbs dumbbells! So I'm really proud of myself. I was only expecting to do at most my bodyweight which is 150. Really happy right now!
Wat.
I hardly bench above 200. Did you touch chest?
Full on! I'm so fucking shocked, I was with my mate who has a pt and swims competitively just under Olympic level and he was shocked as well.
But after he left I tried deadlifting and squating and I sucked at both. Probably because I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing as far as form is concerned.

No because A) DOMS is not an indicator of growth or even hard work B) Doing more sets doesn't equate to more muscle fiber recruitment, ever. All you are doing is placing un-necessary stress on the CNS (which is useful for specific tasks but not muscular hypertrophy which is what most of you are after).
You would've been better off focusing maximum intensity on 3 sets than you would've with half assed 6 sets just so you can feel "the burn bro"
I haven't really used a belt at gym, but today I found a belt small enough to fit tightly around me. Soo I tried it with squats. First without belt - 6 reps with 1,5x bodyweight, could have done 7th rep but I was losing balance and my back technique started to collapse. Then with belt. Did 12+12+11 reps with the same 1,5x body weight, still kept my back straight and had no trouble with my balance at all.
I know it's not good to use belt always, but I'm going to start using belt with squats since now I'm actually targetting my legs. I'm still doing deadlift without belt.
Lactic acid builds up if you do endurance work. You don't want endurance work when training for mass.
When you are actually sore, there are very small tears in the muscle fibers and water enters -> muscle ache.
May take anywhere from a day or two to a whole week to heal, depending on intensity used in workout. But it does not correlate with extraordinary benefit, it just means you are injured and pushed yourself too far.
Oh fuck, gomad is actually working!
Gaining at like 0.5kg's per day, I'm going to do assloads of squats this week. Thinking of doing a modified Stronglifts 5x5 with an additional Arms day consisting of:
6x150% - 30 seconds rest - 185% to failure in the following exercises:
Limited ROM Barbell Curls
Limited ROM Close grip Chest press
Wrist barbell Curls
Behind back wrist barbell Curls

Gomad is probably going to make you fat. I don't see how a pound of muscle a day is even possible.
