I'm not sure if this already exists. But oh well
 
Does anyone on here actually go to the gym?

Discuss routines, how much you lift etc

I started going to the gym like 2 weeks ago. I've never actually been to one before that. I'm a small guy (5'4"and weigh 115 lbs) and my form is pretty shit so I can't really lift that much. I was able to squat 90 pounds today. Even though ts not that much and my friend squatted over 200 right after me, I feel like I'm starting to get somewhere

Start small and in some time you will be able to lift more.

Or don't start at all. Like me.

Monday - Chest
Tuesday- Back
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Arms
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Shoulders

I tend to mix them up sometimes so my body doesn't get used to routine

Deadlift - 235KG
Bench Press - Don't know my max, I haven't had a spot for a while but I can do 140KG for 2reps with comfort
Squat - Again, I don't go for max lift with this one too but I have squatted 160KG for 3 so it will be something more than that idk.

I aim between the 8-12 rep range. It's good to constantly mix up smaller lifts to target different angles of your muscle. Every month or so I will change my routine a bit.

I eat about 4500 calories a day right now and aim for about 200 - 300g protein

I'm at 6'0 220 Lbs. I don't hit the weights like I used to in football, but I get my cardio and legs in. Can still put up 200 lbs, but I don't go further with crazy max outs like I used to because of my shoulder issue I had with a max out long ago. I love dead lifting and squatting though still. My last squat max was okay for my weight, like 360 Lbs, but I used to work with guys at my weight who could put up much more. The human back is designed to carry a ridiculous amount of weight. I honestly prefer power lifting over just lifting on a bench press, it gets me more hyped and I love the energy/momentum in comparison to a straight up bench press. I honestly forgot the name of this one lifting form.. it's like to squat down to the bar, use your thighs to bring it above your collar bone, and then jolt upwards to get it in the air and then you release and let the bar bounce. I know you're specifically supposed to use rubber weights for it because metal weights would destroy the floor. It's my favorite lift and I fucking forgot the formal name. I just call it Russian Powerlifting at this point because I when I do them I feel I can establish the true means of production once more throughout the motherland.

Taking a break currently from working out due to exams, projects, social obligations.

In August I weighed in at 145 5'11, but in late October I weighed in at 152.
That might not sound like much, but I'm a hard gainer (skinny AF)
My current goal is to get to 160.

I wish m8. I want to get lean and fit then maybe see about going for true bulk. Target is <195 for now (while still strength/resistance training to an appropriate extent of course). Wanna get BF down to an acceptable level cause its still too high for my liking (tricky part of course is doing so without losing muscle mass).

And to give context to that number, just walking, jogging, doing some basic exercises, and eating well (see: DASH) ive lost just almost 30 pounds since late July. Make of that you will.

Finally, a thread I am interested in.

This is the current program I am on: http://www.leehayward.com/workout_programs/index.htm
I am 6'1 190lbs

In addition, I conduct Army PT three times a week. This mainly consists of running and bodyweight workouts (pushups, ab work)
For example, this morning, we ran 4 miles at 6:50-7:45 mile pace.

For those new to fitness, check out this website: http://scoobysworkshop.com/

I am one of those "runner" guys. Been running 3-4 miles for the past 5 years. I do 5 days straight take a day off and just repeat that. Raced a few 5ks, best time was 20:13.

Wtf is a running? I've never heard of that weight lift before.

On a serious note good job and keep it up!

You won't make ANY gains no matter how much you lift or perform sets properly if you don't EAT and put your body into a caloric surplus with high protein intake.

And yes, weight DOES matter, you're not going to make any gains lifting pussy ass weight thats not exhausting your muscles, your muscles grow due to either stress or shock. This doesn't mean you need to go deadlift 250KG for 8 reps if you can't handle it, but this also doesn't mean just because you can perform 12 reps of 40KG deadlifts successfully with good form your muscles are going to grow because they won't, you need to lift heavy - this is defined by what's heavy enough for you to perform 8-12 reps just before or to failure.

There is a lot of bro-science behind the 8-12 rep strategy for bodybuilding and 1-6 for Powerlifting. Your body isn't a machine and can't register if you performed 8-12 reps during a set and there is nothing wrong with doing the odd 15 reps if you chose a weight that's a tad light for you by mistake if you're new to an exercise or whatever - it's all about time-under-tension, 8-12 reps is good because it's minimising the time it takes to perform sets. Doing above 20 reps you're turning an exercise into cardiovascular training. Doing below 20 and over 12 there is nothing wrong in that as long as you're exhausting the muscle during that interval, it's just more advisable to do 8-12. If you do a bit over that you will still gain mass as long as it isn't during major lifts (bench, squat, deads) which are designed for heavy weight. You can even do 6 reps of heavy ass weight, this will still help you gain mass and improve your lift.

Finally, no, there is no rule to say that you should carry out between 2-4 sets you can do 6 sets of the same exercise if you want, there is nothing wrong in doing that - it just depends what muscles you feel need more attention, if you think your quads need more attention don't be shy and do two more sets of squats or two more sets of leg press, as long as you're not overworking the muscle you're absolutely fine, and by this I mean doing something stupid that can cause injury or actually damage the muscle by overworking it I.e. Over 8 sets.

Read up on some exercises and techniques then start light. Leave your ego at the door, nobody cares if you're using light weight, everybody starts somewhere. I actually admire those who are lifting light to start off rather than looking like an idiot trying to lift weight they obviously can't handle in a failed attempt to impress friends.

Get a meal plan sorted and make a routine (Back day, Leg day, Chest day, Arm day, Shoulder day - or you can split up bicep and triceps and put them into Back and Chest day routines) it will come more apparent as you begin researching.

Don't be afraid to use free-weights they're the best training method, some machines are good to use though to add some variation to your workout.

About the 10 reps for three times remark. Is that wrong? No mate it's not, that's fine as long as your muscles are being worked just before failure. You can go heavier and aim for 6 or 8 reps or go lighter and aim for 12 or even sometimes on occasion more. Up the sets too, 4 is the norm but it's not uncommon to do 3 - 6, mix this around for different exercises.

I tend to aim low for the heavier compound lifts, so with bench press I tend to do 6 - 8 reps I might sometimes do 10 on weight I normally do 8 reps for if I want to really push myself to failure. The same goes for Squats and Deadlifts. I rarely do 12 reps for these three exercises but this is only my own personal preference, I enjoy lifting really heavy on these. The same for Military press actually, it's not classified as one of the three major lifts but I treat it as one because it helps you lift heavy for such lifts like Olympic, Clean and Jerk or Max Axle.

On the smaller lifts I will do 12 often, so for example cable, machine or dumbbell flies. Tricep pull downs, skull crushers, hammer curls, bent over rows... the list goes on. But I do still tend to aim for 10, 8 or 6. It really depends, as Arnold used to say you need to shock the muscles, do things it's not used to, trick your body into growth because your body gets used to routine.

Some really good advise for you would be to develop a mind-muscle connection, when you're doing reps think about what muscle you're meant to be engaging and make them do most of the work. Think of your arms like levers (but obviously still use them) during chest and back exercises to get the full potential out of your workout, this will help target the muscle better and exhaust it quicker. Ensure you're also using full range of motion, no half repetitions.

I recently just broke past the 205 wall for bench press. I am now working on getting past 225. Can rep it once, but I don' think i'll be going any higher for a long time.
The more you get comfortable with benching higher weights the easier it'll get. Even small changes in weight will add up over time, what I do is just see how many reps/sets I am comfortable with and each week I'll increase the load. I couldn't bench past 150 four months ago.

I recently just broke past the 205 wall for bench press. I am now working on getting past 225. Can rep it once, but I don' think i'll be going any higher for a long time.

As Eddie Hall would say, mentality is 50% of your lift. When you think you can't lift something you can't lift it. When you think that you can you usually can.

Always go in with a positive attitude, strong mentality does wonders for the sport and never say you won't and can't do something unless that something endangers your health and safety. 225 pounds which is roughly 102KG is not a record breaking lift even in our natural world. I do just under that for reps, and you will too and this isn't a long term goal either. Give it a year, maybe a few months depending on how far in you are, you will be surprised on how quickly you progress if you do it RIGHT.

As windflower above stated, increase the weight you do for reps gradually, adding 2kg-5kg here and there for the heavier compound lifts as you feel stronger. Try not to stick at the same weight for too long, and if you feel you can't go higher for the same amount of reps after a 3 week period you should reevaluate your diet and sleep.

But that being said. Even 1 rep of 225 is impressive so keep up the good work.

If you want to break your plateau you gotta shock the body, change workouts, drop sets/pyramid/supersets etc.

There is nothing wrong with change. If you do the same workouts week after week you will hit a plateau. It's better to have different workouts every week rather than just have a stagnant routine.

If you're doing the same workouts and targeting the same muscle groups, you will want to change some of your workouts to target different muscle groups.

Ah good quote 'shock the muscle'. Arnold is referring to doing exercises that your muscles aren't prepared for. When you walk into a gym and you're thinking to yourself 'I'm going to the bench press first, then I'll go do some flys, then I will go do some dumbbell press then I will...' then go and do the absolute oposite to what you were thinking. Your body prepares yourself, if you do exercises that your body isn't prepared for you can shock the body into growth and this lack of preparation is what he's talking about. You may do 8 reps on the bench, drop the weight and do 12, up the weight and do 6. Do things you've not done before that isn't part of your routine, mix it up. This is what Arnold is telling you.

arnold was also on steroids, so he could do a lot more volume/drop sets "shock the muscle with different training principles"

Also all this changing up your workout routine to get past a plateau is bullshit, just gimmicks made up by steroid users to sell their bullshit programs and make money. They will make a video/article  or some shit "before and after I changed my workout routine up" showing all the wonderful gains they got from their magical workout that costs $60. When in reality it was the drugs.

Natural lifting is about time, yes you hit plateaus, but you can't avoid them, theres no way around it, its just time. It took me 5 years to get as strong as I did, while with a steroid user would take 3 months to get there.

That right there shows he is on drugs of some sort, I don't care what league/federation it is, if it's a bodybuilding competition, whoever the winner is, is 100 percent gunna be on something, judging by how he looks, not steroids to make him look huge, but he's on fat burners/diuretics which are even worse for your body. When it comes to bodybuilding/Fitness model contests, theres 3 key things to winning, Drugs + Genetics+ Politics = win.

Lol and? I know so many personal trainers that are  incompetent as fuck. If you had any braincells you would look up what it requires to become a certified NSCA personal trainer.

I did.

Turns out all you gotta do is take an online test thats $340. hmmmmmmmmmm

Like with many things in life today, more and more retards are falling for silly little pieces of paper that society puts emphasis on just because the person spent alot of money to get said paper.

Bodybuilders are on steroids yeah. But they work twohundred times harder than anybody else to get their body. That's just the nature of the sport I'm afraid. There is also natural bodybuilding, but to be honest there isn't much recognition. I just enjoy doing this as a hobby. But whomever says the likes of Arnold is feeding bullshit just because he was on steroids is a fucking retard. Any fucking moron can inject Steroids into their body, it doesn't make them a professional bodybuilder. It's very fucking difficult. There is guys that go to my gym that are doing juice, but they will never look half as big as Arnold did. I've genuinely seen a lot of natty people that look better than steroid abusers.

Arnold has a huge fan base and a lot of money for a good reason, because he was good at what he did. Arnold was in the steroid scene, but he was still competing against people in his own league that were also using, if his techniques didn't work then his body wouldn't have been as aesthetic as it was.

'Drugs+Genetics+Politics=win' Yeah... that's generally how every sport in the world works, there is always a Genetics and political aspect all the way from Rugby to Basketball. Again, so fucking what if they take steroids. It's essentially a part of the sport hence why they don't do drug testing, who are you to judge, billions of people take drugs for recreational purposes if that's something as simple as smoking, alcohol or coffee it's still bad for you. These guys do it to make a living and if they're willing to sacrifice their health for the sport that's up to them. If you want to do it the natural healthy way like the rest of us good for you, but don't be jealous of these guys and say they don't know what they're doing because they most definitely do.

I'm very happy with my lifts, I'm happy with the way I look. I'm not here to please anybody but myself and if you are you're in the wrong sport and you should be taking steroids if all you want to do is look fucking huge and you're jealous of the abusers that do. I lift to stay fit and healthy - others have different goals and I respect that and I like watching drug enhanced Power lifting more than the bodybuiding aspect but I enjoy that too. I'm not jealous of anybody else and you can look huge as a natural with good genetics which luckily thanks to my father I have. You can look huge with skinny genetics, it might take some more work but it's most definitely achievable. From mixing up my routines I know what works for me, and changing my routine and doing different lifts at various frequencies does help in developing diffrent muscle angles, if you hit the same exercise day in day out you're not hitting every angle of your muscle and you create an imbalance. Sure, I may sometimes stick with the same routine for a few months if it's working for me, but generally I still may add something different here and there. I'm not trying to get 100% efficiency out of my exercise anyway because it's not my job.

Saw a video couple months back, powerlifter vs purely calisthenics guy, squats, deads, bench, pullups etc. They came out pretty even, calisthenics actually came out as the victor if I remember correctly. Probably due to endurance.

Personlly I hate the gym, I prefer to do some body-weight workouts outside if I can help it.

I do sports classes 3 times a week, usually one Workout a week. then I do speedmarching (not speedwalking) on Mondays and running once a week or swimming besides that.

Or at least, that's what I am going to do after summer.


For those that don't know speedmarching: it's a sport where you alternate between 400 metres of running and 100 metres of marching. You wear boots and carry a backpack of 10 kilo's and a rifle.
For competitions, you run 5 km like this, but you also have to carry an FN mag on a group of 8 people, which you can swap around. The MAG weighs 12 kilo's. Out of 8 people, 7 have to cross the finish line at the same time to set a time, the 8th person has to finish.

Been doing fitness now since I was a young kid. Now I'm stepping over to Calisthenics because Gym is getting more expensive here.

Anyone else been doing it?
