[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;32269272]Just mind your own business in the gym then. Most people don't take crtizism very well, yet alone if it's coming from a nerde. Just lift stuff up and put it down, let retards have bad form.[/QUOTE]
Are you saying i'm a nerd? Wow.
I wouldednt be upset or offended if someone corrected me, especially if they look like they know what they are doing. But to be small and go up to people who are "a lot bigger" you don't have as much credibility. The only people I correct at the gym are people who look like it's their first time picking up a weight.
Yea well, i'm not small. Not at all. And i'm not a nerd. kthx bai
I listen to what they say not how they look.
I only talk/help hot dudes
because I'm a gay retard bitch
how long do you guys wait between sets?
is it smart to keep doing reps until you can't complete another one anymore, for every set?
I'd say it's goal oriented. Hadn't thought about looking into it, as my logic told me the answer, but I have been actually wanting to know about it from a more scientific point of view. So;

I found 3 correlating studies which supports higher rest times, but in a dodgy way. So, I found one that actually explains his reasoning and summed the whole subject up.
[HIEE = High Intensity Endurance Exercise]
Fuck it, to sum, ADDITIONAL REST TIME = MORE VOLUME = MORE VOLUME [APPARENTLY] = MORE SIZE. Not only that, not only size, but general goodness in terms of power and strength will increase due to this. Short rest gains can even hinder performance and decrease mass with long terms of usage.
too lazy and tired to really supply a decent sum of the articles, so jack yourself off to these, al ot of really interesting shit by the way. I love facts.

ok I have no clue what I'm talking about because I don't work out
but a friend and I got in an argument
he says lifting light weights very quickly in small sets will give you a good cardio workout
I said that's bullshit
who's right?
informative, my good sir
although i got one more question, since i've been reading a lot of stuff saying "It's not best to always reach complete failure/exhaustion in each set"
For every one of my sets, I do reps until I can't complete another one, and then do 3-5 reps with a lower range of motion, it gives me a real good burn. I'm wondering if this is a smart thing to do for all of my workouts?

You are.
The best cardio is when your heart is really pumping, almost struggling, to get the blood around. You're not going to get that from weightlifting.

Again, the "burn" is not a sign of growth, it's a sign of muscle fatigue.
The reason many sources say not to go to failure is you are putting useless stress on the CNS, whereas if you keep one or two reps in the hole, when you do your next set, your force production and recruitment of fibers isn't as hampered, meaning you get more out of it overall.
This is especially true if you are trying to train for explosive strength, you never train to failure, it's always one or two reps "in the hole" so to speak.
If you were training purely for hypertrophy, there is certainly some argument as to which method is better. From the studies I've read and opinions of some of the best coaches in the strength training field, I'm certainly still leaning towards the better recovery = better growth, and intensity over volume.
Steroid users for some reason unknown to me, seem to respond extremely well to high volume training.
I reckon pain/close to injury probably triggers hyperplasia to some extent.
Hence why when you first start, it's usually painful, and you usually have great gains very fast, despite your diet.
Also why malnourished Africans with very little protein in their diet, can occasionally get incredibly big very fast, whilst doing repetitive, [b]hard as fuck[/b] labour.

Yes but you are making the assumption that those Africans are malnourished. Guys in the coastal and wetland regions usually have diets rich in meat, fish and fruit like fuck. Kenyans/maasai and the like don't have access to high calorie food as much so hence why a lot of them are skinny as fuck.
Just found an arm exercise purported to add an inch to your biceps in 24 hours with 60 sets worth of work. Gains appear to be permanent. People have reported keeping the inch and adding a further half inch post-training 2 months after doing it.
Hitting the gym for workout 1 this week, going to try and perfect my Overhead press, hit 70kg on my deadlift, and possibly 80kg on my squat.
LMAO source please

Haha yeah, I saw that article. Apparently it's scar tissue or some bullshit. Looks like it would hurt like a bitch after it. It's like a full entire day of doing curls, and drinking recovery drinks and pre workout. Lol
Heard about that shit. Looks like a way to create massive swelling that will last for a week.
Only way to tell, is to test it yourself.
When doing bench press, I don't feel anything in my chest but just in my arms, am I using incorrect form or is it due to not using a high weight? First day doing SS.
Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
Deadlift 5x5
Militarypress 4x6
Pull or chin-ups 3x8
Rows either barbell or dumbells 4x6
Dips 3x8
Biceps curls 3x8
Abdorminals 3x5-20
Will this work for a good full body routine?

Hit 210x5 on dead lifts and I weigh 140, is that pretty good?
[QUOTE=Septimas;32289177]Hit 210x5 on dead lifts and I weigh 140, is that pretty good?[/QUOTE]
From my point of view, that's great man!
But I DL 100 so yeah...

Thanks man! I think squads and deadlifts are mostly mental for me somehow, (besides absurd weight i mean) Like squats for instance, i think i could easily hit 205, but apparently i dont break parallel, or im right above parallel. Its just like a weird fear that if i go down too far i wont be able to come up, even though there is a power rack to catch it.
Also, reverse grip for deadlifting is great once you get used to it!
Also hit a new bench max, 10 pounds over what i used to be at, 135.
New stats are
bench max 135(i think i could easily hit 140, just didnt have the time to try today)
deadlift (205x3, probably could hit 205x5)
squat 205 ish. Weird because my weight room at school doesnt have squat boxes to let me know when to explode up, the football players use it in their nice ass weightroom.
Oh and im 141 pounds, and i was 130 around 40 days ago;)
Damn i love how my delts explode from day to day. My delts are probably my easiest muscles to develop.
Also, is it unnatural that i can add 20 pounds some days, and like 5 pounds other days?
[editline]14th September 2011[/editline]
add pounds as in: Go from like 50 to 70 pounds when lifting.
Am I doing it right?
Tuesday.
Wide grip bench 8 x 4
Dumbbell press, 8 x 4
Incline dumbbell press, 8 x 4
Flys, 10 x 8
Chestpress machine 10 x 4
Thursday.
Dropsets with dumbbells.
Barbell curls 8 x 5
Deadlift + military press 6 x 3-4
Excercise for deltas ( weight behind neck one, what is it called? ) 8 x 4.
I wanna build arms and chest mainly.

Im confused if your saying your adding 20 pounds to your max every day? ...
If your saying you can warm up with say 50 pounds, then jump to 70, no thats not unnatural.
I warm up on bench with like 95 every day, then go to 130.

I kind of know what you mean, one time I went from 60 to 70 in one workout. I simply guessed it was because I was lifting a pretty low weight, so even if I went up to like 100 it wouldn't be too bad.
Sup guise
My appendix burst, had to get surgery and can't do shit the next 6 weeks (stomach cut in half).
My weight went from 240 to 205. Feelsbadman.jpg.
