Gym And Supplement Discussion

[NZM.031]

Have you tried more explosive exercises like jump squats, squat presses/snatches etc?

yerrr... i do that stuff during the summer months when its nice to be outside.. and capoeira aswell.. so lots and lots of lunges and jumps... lots more plyometrics and lots less weights.

Ok finally back into the gym again now (3 weeks running).

Fk im weak

EG: Bi curls I'm only managing 10KG 3 sets x 10

I can't even do 2 dips lol

Gonna be a long 3 months to get back into even basic level of form.

At least I still have reasonable chest strength, although it's only machine at the moment till i get some reasonable base and then move back over to free.

Soon you'll be benching the 31 for a warmup.

Gday kunce,

My missus said to me the other day that she wants that buff bodied man that she had before marriage back. Seeing as we've been married for 10 years there pretty much no fucking chance Ill be able to find this dood so it looks like its up to me. I dont need to lose much weight nor put too much bulk on (cause im sxc as it is). I am planning on buying a home gym (weider is on sale atm), a rowing machine and a trainer for my pushie. Ill grab a straight bar and some dumbells too.

So,

I need advice on said home gym

Advice on a routine to suit

Thanks in advance bum monkeys.

lol RB26's, one arm each

It's weird my BI's have lost massive strength, yet my Tri's (pushdowns) im almost doing the entire stack... However much that weighs.

Yet can't do dips as everything else is failing

Same for legs, still good strength there interestingly

[Trozzle]

Yeah I know the feeling, and I only did 3 weeks away from the gym

You should buy 2 build RB26's, remove sump, hand through bottom of block, and hold that crank like a dumbbell.

I've never been any good with the biceps even after the 3 weeks though I can still do 3x10 reps of dips with +15kg

So what are your goals?

It sounds like you want to get a little fitter, and maybe lose some weight. Gaining muscle / losing weight is mostly diet.

Routine wise they're are a lot of things you could do, if your aiming for strength I'd recommend bench, deadlift, squat, military press , dips or similar.

Powerclean's are also great but they are a little technical, you also either need bumper plates or quiet a few mats on the floor to take the impact of the cheaper plates.

That's because you don't really use your biceps that much

I found that legs maintain ok, shoulder / upper back strength you tend to lose quite quickly as well

use the assisted dip machine.

you're probably not isolating the triceps when you do the dips.

Anyone able to help me source the following in pill forms?

Ephedrine HCL

Caffeine (No DOZ id assume)

Potent Yohimbe

Am basically looking to make my own pre workout/thermo stack seen as hydroxy etc are a joke these days since the magical ingredient was banned. Thought id check with the pros before i went into a chemist or health store asking for these products and they look at me as if im trying to cook some gear lol.

[Birds]

Are you trying to cook some gear?

[TUFF_350]

Lol bananas,

so far ive found horny goat weed should substitute for Yohimbe cos it basically just boosts testosterone and energy. Ephedrine not sure as yet, but this is all legal as they can be found in Nutrex Lipo 6 which is on sale on shelves. I just dont want to cough up $70 per month for the stuff.

Just to back me up, i already purchased and received.

[dan_the_man]

what do you want all that shit for?

[TUFF_350]

Pre workout/Thermogen,

especially now with winter im finding my bike and stretching warmups are good but id like an extra kick.

[R31Nismoid]

Just a standard ECY stack really, not a lot wrong with it.

Not really 'cooked' as such, plenty of information on the net for amounts to use etc.

use the assisted dip machine.

you're probably not isolating the triceps when you do the dips.

You mean the tri-PD's? I have my shoulders locked and use abs to support me

I make sure i use nothing more than isolated tri's for those.

I'll give the dips a crack next week as i upped all the chest/tri & shoulder weights this week and am rather tender today.

Two more sessions @ this rate and i'll have a crack @ 5 unassisted dips on Monday

No I mean the dips.

you're prolly using your chest too much and your lower pecs are not strong enough.

If you can almost push down a whole commercial tricep pushdown weight stack then dips should be easy enough.

Been looking for Ephedrine for a while as well as Yohimbe, illegal & super hard to get a hold off

Caffeine is simple.. Most supp stores stock it.. ASN for example.. or you can order of BB.com ... I ordered 4x 100pill (200mg) bottles About $8aus each.. Great stuff to stack against your pre wo supps..
