I just did a max squat of 210lbs. I feel like a demi-god.

you da man

You guys be careful with that knee business. Go read about fluid on the knee at a hospital-type website. I've got enough knee problems to deal with watching my mom have problems with hers. She had fluid and it's from arthritis. Don't injure those babies when you're this young pushing yourselves to lift too much. She's supposed to have replacement because hers is bone on bone and she's had one done already. There's no pain like it during recouperation and there's a lot of bending and kneeling that you can never do again too.

I bet the only reason their knees fuck up is because they're doing the exercises wrong. Never, never, never lock your knees.

i dont think its from my leg exercises so much as it is from my 56 minutes of biking. its very strenuous, so i probably overworked something

I wouldnt know , I just wrote that.
I usually only squat with working sets of 315 because of a back injury.I have done 405 in my younger days

damn.





Ass, you shouldn't lie on the internet

sounded good though

ever try wearing a knee brace?

Except now I'll always see you as a scrawny little nerd

__________________

no, what for?

__________________

Well, I have no idea how to explain it, but:

try tying a band around your bicept and doing a curl. I guess the brace does just what the word literally means--strengthens the knee for more weight.

__________________

omg this should be fun. When you put too much weight one something what does it do? Picture a fat lady sitting on a little chair. What happens? the legs go every which way and she falls on her ass! If the chair has a brace around it it's less apt to go every which way. She won't fall on her ass then.
Wearing a brace will help keep your lower leg from being a chair to your upper body fat lady. rofl omg

Or just don't lift so much because obviously you shouldn't be if you're displacing the fluid around your knee joint!!! It's compressing too much. God knows what else you might be screwing up. And you have back problems anyways. Dont' add to them
Read read read and learn about anatomy and you might prevent some injuries and stuff like that there.

alright. today im going to the gym and NOT riding the exercise bike. and only doing ridiuclously low old lady weights with my legs, and upper body as usual.

yeah a scrawny nerd that weighs 250 who maxed out 405 on the bench is a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do , also wears a badge, So if you think thats scrawny well dam dude. you must be super duper scrawny

That was rather creative spontaneous thinking on my part though. At least I think so.

walpurgis showed me how to use his weight apparatus in the garage today so I know how to do some stuff with it. That's cool. I didn't want to hurt myself.

ITS NOT A TUMOR

fox' , you're a pustule.

Tranny, if it gives you any problems or still feels not quite right ask someone to look at it. You may just be using a slightly wrong form and putting pressure somewhere that's doing it. Or maybe you need more strength in another muscle group to support that.

AMPUTATE

Well, I feel amputatable right now. I went and bought a new mouse for the pc and before I came in the house I went in the garage and used Bob's weight machine. I'm in horrid shape. It's a 2 station with lots of variety which I did at barely anything weight. I did between 5 and 12 reps since it's the first time using it and I don't want to kill myself. I came in the house, hooked in my mouse, and now I'm hungry and need a nap. lol I kicked my own ass.

__________________

last class period in weight training (thats right, i get to work out and get a grade for it) we had a benching competition. I won with 26 reps of 165 pounds... im in so much pain right now.

ouch your going to be sore about a week ,

Ah get your fanny perpendicular Earache my eye

My muscles heal real fast. I'll be 100% by tomorrow.

I wouldnt bench till next week otherwise youl overtrain ,you can do other stuff Your chest will ache about a week Im telling you will see.

Bad-fucking-ass. Was is cold lifting? Or did you have to start from low weight and up?

__________________

Is it about 5 pounds when you don't have any pins in? I did those for awhile since a lot of stuff I couldn't do with the pin in the first hole. But I did some after I warmed up more. The thing needs a bit of oil though from what Bob said.

__________________

cold lifting

you he man you

Ahhh, that's the kicker....but it is still a good job.

__________________

The sides of your chest and under your arms are going to hurt for a week

Heck, I get that from wearing an underwire bra the wrong size.

__________________

ouchhhhhhhhhhhh

Really!! I quit those things. Those are the most uncomfortable sonnybiches anyways.

__________________

BAN THE BRA

Noooo, that's not what I meant!! Did you ever see my avatar at the blue screen? lol That happens without support. But working out should help a bit.

__________________

It Should Shouldnt it??????????????
LOL

If women didn't wear bras, they'd have to start tossing their breasts over their shoulders like they do in some cultures. You say such dumbass things fox.

__________________

I've heard guys claim to have to do that, but I never heard of women doing that. I usually just tuck mine in my waistband. I must have missed that National Geographic.

So how does pizza fit into your workout diet, powers'? Or are you doing anything about what you eat when you work out?

__________________

Thats my middle name Dumass

I'm cheap, so I only eat a diGiorno on occasion. But like I said before, I eat a ton of beef. I have hamburgers or hamburger helper many times a week. I also eat a lot of apples and celary. Often too, I buy a thing of smoked sausage, and eat a whole one along with a can of mixed veges or a can of baby carrots--Or use it to make eggs and sausage, if that is the real name for it. I like to mix up shit too, so today and yesterday, I had nothing but this combination dinner I made of Wolfe brand chili and chedder cheese Ramen noodles. It was great.

I remember last week, I made this cassarole, however the fuck you spell it, it was a combination of: [that colorful & curly] pasta, chopped ham and sausage , real bacon bits, bread crumbs, a cream of chicken soup, butter, cheddar cheese chunks, a sprinkle of black pepper; and various other spices like hickory smoked salt and worcestershire sauce. Just random crap, wasn't bad either.

__________________

That last bit sounded good til you hit the worchestershire and hickory stuff. I'm not keen on those. That pasta you mean is rotini, I think. I like that cold with a couple different beans, tomatoes, black olives, and Italian dressing on it cold. they make pastas in whole grain and whole wheat now for those who want the complex carbs. I haven't tried it yet.
And I'm hungry. Must be oatmeal with stuff in it time.

__________________

I hate all kinds of beans.

__________________

Beans are good for you!! Don't you even like green beans? I take the gas out of my chili and stuff with beans like that by adding a little baking soda. It foams like crazy sometimes for a couple minutes, but then it calms down.
OHOHOH! That's what I'm going to use the venison roast for! I'll make Bob some venison chili before he goes back Sunday!
Cool.

is being able to bench press 50-55kg (110.2 - 121.2 lbs) two times good for a fourteen year old? (I say 50-55 because I'm not quite sure how much the pole weighted)

__________________

That ain`t bad, not crazy, but probably better than the average. I tried something around 50 kg awhile ago myself and did one rep, but thats like a year ago, I could do many more now.

__________________

Yeah its good, keep trying to go up slowly but surely, dont worry about crazee weight , concentrate on learning to do movements correctly , Form is everything, develope good habits now.

When I was you're age, I lost a competition with doing a max 125lbs (which counts as 2 reps). The one who won, won with like 135 or so. And this was not cold lifting. We had to start with just the bar, 45lbs, and go up by 10.

__________________

"When I was you're age....."
You old fart.
(didn't correct the grammatical error out of respect to elder)

__________________

Whats everyones Max 1 rep Bench
also include your body weight
Me weight 250 1 rep Max 405 .and it was heavy as fuck.LOL

i have never tried doing a max, but im 18 years old. 135 lbs and i can only bench 50 lbs.... how the hell do you guys bench so much?

Well, 135 pounds is rather light... that may have something to do with it. I am 17 years old, 190 pounds, and can bench about 170 (definately not for sets though) and some kids my age and weight can max out at 250....

__________________

also, dont worry aobut not being able to bench much. if you keep at it, your body will develop the strength. ive mentioned it before, but when i first started doing forward and sideways extensions i was, no exaggeration, using 1 pound weights. my body had been completely decimated but after a year or so of training, im now up to doing 10 pound extensions. thats a 10 fold increase! bodies are amazing, and strenght will build

__________________

How old are you? Not for offensive purposes.

__________________

I weigh around 150lbs and am 20 years old. My max bench is about that as well, but may be more I never really tried. My squat max, as mentioned earlier, is 210lbs.

__________________

You guys should see my junior football team. Most of us are about 15 years old and the highest bench is about 220. We won our first game 49-0 and our second game 42-0. I made first string wide reciever and things are going great. I haven't been in to the gym for weeks though. We practise more than 2 hours every day after school and we play games on wednsdays. I can't wait to get back to the gym.

Sorry for bragging, but our team fucking owns.

Steroid Head J/K

Bodyweight 152, one rep max 285.

Ok, I have no idea the content of this thread, except what was initially stated. So here's my shit...

(1) I work out in order to keep my old fucking body in shape. I'm 36. I talk about working out more than I actually work out, but when I do...here's my regimen (and it's a really, really good one for anyone who cares)... But before I post it, just for shits n' giggles here's what I listen to when I'm lifting -- since this is a fuckin' music thread:

(a) Demon Hunter -- Demon Hunter
(b) The Showdown -- A Chorus of Obliteration
(c) Tourniquet -- Where Moth and Rust Destroy
(d) Demon Hunter -- Summer of Darkness
(e) Mortal Treason -- A Call to the Martyrs

Here's my workout routine:

Sunday & Wednesday: Cardio, Chest, Back

1) Lifecycle
2) Flat Bench Machine
3) Incline Bench Machine
4) Fly Machine
5) Dumbbell Flys
6) Cable Crossovers
7) Chin-ups
8) Bent-Over Rows
9) Pullovers
10) Deadlifts

Monday & Thursday: Cardio, Shoulders, Upper Arms, Forearms

1) Lifecycle
2) Barbell Clean & Press
3) Dumbbell Lateral Raises
4) Heavy Upright Rows

And... for anyone who's interested.. I just bought a Schecter C-1 Elite guitar, and it fucking rocks too!!!! I love it. I paid $354 on ebay for it, and it is comparable to a Valley Arts Custom Pro (before they were bought by Samick) that I paid $1800 for. And it is easily as good a guitar. Neck-thru-body and so on. Maybe better than my VACP. I'm sooo happy with it. Check them out. http://www.schecterguitars.com/

RIPDime

Nice to see you again man.
That's a pretty detailed routine, did you design it yourself or was it allready made?

It was a joint effort. Me and Arnold. See http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=books&n=507846 -- "The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding"

BTW - Items 6-11 on Mon/Thurs will kill your arms, but oh man, the benefits. It's amazing. Do that for four weeks and measure your biceps at the start and the end. You will be blown away. At least I was...
'Nuff said.

__________________

Holy Hell! 405! I'm 215 and can do just over 300+ but it hurts like hell. I haven't done it in a few months because of how dangerous it is to max press.

I other news, I nearly fucking died today while running my PRT for the Navy. 1 1/2 miles in 12:47. I told my PRT cordinator that I can't run that in less then 13:00, but he replied that the Navy requires no less, so I made it happen. Now that it nearly killed me I guess he will listen next time. I had some pain like I've never felt before right where my black frozen metal heart should be. I went to medical after the run and learned I have a irregular heart beat now. After some more test I learn I'm more likely to have a heart attack then someone that has already had one. I'm 27 and my poor blask heart has about had its max. I think medical are just playing it safe and telling me not to push it, but I refuse to be lazy about working out. I just got to be more careful now though. I can feel when I've had enough.

well ill be damned. im down to 163 and i only rode the bike for like an hour and a half this week!

If that's the darn Arnold book that Bob read cover to cover you have to be a bodybuilder to lift the darn thing! It's about 40 pounds! It's really detailed though and he learned a lot from it. He'd take it when he went to do his laundry and read while he was waiting on loads.


Soulinsane, you might have them check your potassium levels if they haven't. My boss had that problem and got put on medication for it. Sometimes she'd just pass out for no reason. But she has to drink a gallon of gatorade a day to keep her potassium levels where they're supposed to be.
Good luck to you. Tell them to station you at a reserve center as an instructor in Illinois. Still active duty and shore duty.

Okay, today I decided since I was going to paint my basement door outside I'd start with legwork today since my upper body would get a workout painting. I set the machine on the lightest setting like I did the other day when i was trying out different things. I did a set of 10 on there and then I upped it 10 pounds and did another set. Then I walked my back yard clear to the very back and counted my steps to 1000. When I got back up to the house I painted the door and got my big window to replace the screen from that door upstairs and outside and stood on the hillside and scrubbed that down to replace the caulking at a later date. I gathered up all my stuff and put it in the garage and just out of curiosity did another set on the heavier setting to see if it was any easier. It was a lot easier. I still had to use some effort and my legs are tired, but it feels good. That's cool. And I just took a deep breath and I can feel it deeper in my lungs. That's a wonderful thing for me.
Just thought I'd share that.

thats cool L'BXX, i wish my mom would do some form of exercising, i understand she works for about 10 hours a day but she really is unfit, but i would atleast like to see her spare 30 min a day for cardio or something

btw, how good are those bowflex machines? are those infomercials bullshitting us or is it that good?

Bowflex are good for people who want to stay in shape and toned and have limited time. Any exercise program will be beneficial . Theyre not as good as free weights and Smith machines or hammer strength Etc. But they will do ok in a pinch.

Dam Bro you are skinny Molink
Dont feel bad I got on the police Dept at 165 So theres hope for ya scrawny ass yet J/K just playing with ya

The machine I use is a 2 station monster Bob got a few years ago. It's made by Weider. You can do a lot of stuff on it, but I don't know what the proper name is for it. He's maxed it out so it's not going to do him any good. I hate to see it just sitting there and I really need to get stronger since I'm getting older. I see too many people with bad bones and muscles around me in the older crowd I'm around. I hope I can stay consistent with it. Plus the doc said it will help raise my good cholesterol which is too low.

Any tips on how to get back to the gym think..? I used to work out alot before. I gained 25 kg in 6 months when I started pushing weights. But since over 2 years I´ve been drinking instead and eating really bad food. I´ve lost 5 cm around my arms but only 1 kg in weight... <i used to work our for 5-6 times a week and ate 7 times a day. I ain´t gonna do that again but maybe 4-5 times a week but short sets and cut down on the beer drinking...
I really need to get my gear together! My doctor said my lifestyle was destructive... (WTF??!)
