11.16.12 | nice dude. my department at work just got moved to EDS and those fuckers are rich. got a nice gym for lunch breaks now. my general advice. stretching is important, or you'll tweak something and set yourself back and become a lazy ass like myself atm |
SeaAnemone

11.16.12 | havent been able to do any cardio with my fractured foot which sucks, but im getting an olympic barbell n squat/bench rack for christmas so once i combine a shitload of protein, lifting and HITT im gonna be happy

jdennis31
11.16.12 | not a fan of machines just cause most of them like to ignore stabalizing muscles. i found out my scale was 5 lbs off and so it completely demotivated my lean muscle diet regiment. bout to start taking some NO for a little while. kinda miss the cracked out pump sometimes. |

DarthMann
11.16.12 | yeah, good form is really important |

11.16.12 | yea. my right peck is more formed than my left. i still have fat to shave off but i can tell its gonna be really uneven when i'm done cutting down. lot of differing opinions on how to fix that, but i'd assume concentrating on good form from the get go would be the best solution |

11.16.12 | any tips for a bro that can't regularly go to the gym and can't afford to buy some equip at home? |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | do you mean tips?
if so the best bodyweight training program is probably convict conditioning (easy as fuck to find a torrent for)
you would also want to do a lot of cardio if, like me, you don't really wanna cut down on foods |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | ahh ninja edit |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | push ups/sit ups/sand in water jugs/bands are pretty cheap/isometric workouts/dudes think yoga is gay for some reason but that shit is an amazing workout. |

11.16.12 | might be the downward dog pose, looks like you are about to be anally penetrated |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | or yeah, you can get a backpack and fill it up with shit and do push-ups/leg raises etc., and gradually increase the weight |
redskyformiles
11.16.12 | I've just been doing a lot of bike and rowing exercises. not too much on the lifting front
|
Solisis
11.16.12 | "you would also want to do a lot of cardio if, like me, you don't really wanna cut down on foods"
oh hell yes, I get hungry in the block right after lunch, when I have cooking right before lunch too and we usually cook something small but really good. my metabolism is way high
"or yeah, you can get a backpack and fill it up with shit and do push-ups/leg raises etc., and gradually increase the weight"
this is an amazing idea. I can't do that many push ups as it is though, but that's why I should do more often. |
CaptainDooRight
11.16.12 | I HAVE APE PECS, COME AT ME BREW |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | with the push ups the backpack thing might give you an uneven push since things won't be sitting still. with the leg raises it sounds like a great idea but with pushups i'd rec just changing the angle. put your feet up on a chair and go all the way down, will increase difficulty greatly. |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | yeaa bodyweight is nowhere near as effective as resistance but still if u have 2 u have 2
but yeah try the backpack thing, combine it with lots of cardio and protein and you should start seeing results in like a months time |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | but yeah gotta watch that form |

bakkermaarten007
11.16.12 | I eat healthy, avoid too much sugar, don't drink soda during the week, drink lots of water and play ping pong. Sometimes I go running too and 5 days out of 7 I drink in the evening (2 days out of those wasted), that's my biggest sin towards my body. I have a muscular (yet not too bulky, I'm quite slim but my muscles are pronounced) body, even have some sort of a sixpack (not a macho sixpack, just naturally visible). That's about it. The key to a healthy looking body, people, is not the hours you spend in the gym or practicing sports. It matters too, but the biggest factor is the stuff you put into your system! |
bloc
11.16.12 | Been going to the gym and swimming at least three times a week since June. Before that I was doing a lot of running but I realized I wanted to get bigger as well.
So far the results are coming in, which really makes me happy and motivated. That said, I think the most difficult thing when it comes to exercising is staying committed and being patient, without a doubt. |
CaptainDooRight
11.16.12 | GOOOONE GO FISHIEEESS |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | yeah, but strength and how big those muscles are come from the gym
the first few weeks of exercising is the hardest, cos youre kinda expectin results quickly but it takes about a month to see any
that being said i built my triceps up from being practically non-existant to quite visible in a bout 3 weeks |
bakkermaarten007
11.16.12 | Well, your genes matter too obviously. There are some people who just have the hardest time developing their muscles. I've always been muscular, even when I didn't do anything 5 years ago (for 2 years in a row) but sitting, eating junk,, drinking soda and smoking. I noticed my belly came up front lol, but I still was muscular. |
bloc
11.16.12 | True the first few weeks can go two ways I think. I've seen friends take forever to see some sort of weight loss (although they weren't exercising as hard as they could have been) but I have also seen a guy who lost like 6 pounds in two weeks. "Water weight" I'm assuming, as he hasn't lost any significant weight since then. |

11.16.12 | yea balls, i went all natural for the last year but i miss the crack pump. just seeing if there'd be a better alternative than jack3d. used to use no xplode but that caffeine in that shit is dumb. |
KjSwantko
11.16.12 | Preworkouts sups are a complete waste of money, fyi. An apple and a cup or two of coffee will do the trick, at a cheaper cost. Plus you're not filling your body with excess amounts of random chemicals. |
BallsToTheWall
11.16.12 | I'm done with pre-workouts and energy drinks. They were too bad on my heart and made me twitchy as hell. |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Creatine Monohydrate, Beta Alanine (CarnoSyn®), Caffeine, 1,3-Dimethylamylamine HCL, Schisandra Chinensis (Berry) Extract (Standardized For Schizandrol A)) - you're basically making your own pre workout drink without the NO. and @kj. the chemicals aren't random, they are put together for synergistic effects. |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | though i'd agree i'd rather do it naturally and not put any of that in the body, but fuck it, i'm a healthy young lad |
DominionMM1
11.16.12 | "that being said i built my triceps up from being practically non-existant to quite visible in a bout 3 weeks"
That's because your triceps develope faster than other muscles. |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | thats cool i guess |
BallsToTheWall
11.16.12 | Amino Energy is good. I take True Athlete's Training Formula because it's only C.Monohydrate, Arginine and Beta Alanine. Then I stack that with BCAA's, drinking coffee before this. |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | well the Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (basically what most folk call nitrix oxide) would probably do the most to make you twitchy jittery, pretty awesome that you have your own sort of concoction to suit your body. i never thought of doing it that way like i do with nootropics. |

jdennis31
11.16.12 | sounds delicious but high in sodium? |
BallsToTheWall
11.16.12 | Yeah but the omegas/protein balance it out. Water will help. |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | werd, my diet isn't very high in sodium as it is anyways. good tip man, i love some canned oysters. those would probably contain the least sodium too. might even make an oyster salad cause i'm getting tired of tuna. |
bakkermaarten007
11.16.12 | All those supplements you guys take aren't very good for you. Why do you want to make your muscles as visible as you can? It's the strength that matters most no? |
bakkermaarten007
11.16.12 | And drinking coffee before a workout makes you sweat very much, it's a diuretic. |
DarthMann
11.16.12 | " It's the strength that matters most no?"
i have one question for you
do you even lift |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | ummm, none of those are taken in order to make our "muscles as visible" as we can. and lol @ u and kj, give us some actual information instead of just saying it's not good for you. an orange could be bad for you if you're a diabetic, it just depends on your body |
bakkermaarten007
11.16.12 | "do you even lift".
No, and I'm still stronger than most of my peers... |
jdennis31
11.16.12 | also, alot of supplements are just synthesized versions of stuff that already naturally occurs in your body. it's not like your introducing entirely foreign substances in your body. |

11.16.12 | gym 3-4 days a week. 30 minutes of cardio on an incline and 30 minutes of weights, focusing mostly on core, shoulders and legs. not trying to bulk up at all as i'm pretty much exactly where i want to be (6'4, 180-85). cut out pretty much all fast food from my life, only drink soda with hard alcohol which i've also cut down on (but not by choice). kind of have to go to a gym to be active since most of my life involves me sitting around reading and writing and can't run around this neighborhood at night.
Aside from no fast food, I've cut down processed foods in my diet a ton (by about 75%) and try to cook as much as possible now. if i had more time to lift to bulk up i would but the system i have is pretty solid right now. if i had to recommend anything it'd be cook your own shit and try to go make the grocery trip weekly to keep things fresh and not have to rely on processed foodstuffs |
