Dani Boi Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 So what routine are you going to be doing and are you still going to use the gym?

Trozzle Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Unsure about my gym membership - will let it continue running for a month or so to see if I still utilise it enough to justify cost (occasional mindless cardio, occasional convenience use like during lunch break). I can pause my membership though, so at least I don't have to cancel it completely. Routine will still be a push-pull-legs split, focussing on the 3 main lifts. I can't think of any exercises off the top of my head that I won't be able to do with the above equipment plus the plate loaded dumbbells we already have at home.

Birds Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 So a while back, specifically late May, we were discussing Robert Forstemann's (pro cyclist) immensely sized quads. We then proceeded to measure our own so we could all okay.jpg I measured 22" at the time, and out of curiosity gave it another go today. I'm now at 23", for a growth of 1" in the last 4-5 months. Haven't noticed a change in body fat, so here's hoping it's muscle! Regardless, I am looking more in proportion than ever, as far as legs vs upper body goes (which was my goal when I started leg hypertrophy training to counter years of neglected legs), so am quite happy Now hopefully I don't do the reverse and end up with thunder thighs on a small upper, which at least looks less ridiculous than chicken legs on a huge upper.

Birds Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Downside: though the last 8 months of shoulder injury has allowed me to focus on legs more, neglecting upper body movements has cost me half an inch in arm size Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/459/#findComment-7067238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trozzle Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 hahahaha Dan!! nice work Birdman during my bingefest earlier in the year I hit a point where none of my jeans would fit any more, but not because I got fat around the waist (which happened to a small degree, but not the problem at all) - it was due to being unable to pull them up to my waist in the first place! They all got stuck on my thighs lol Not quite as bad now that I've cleaned up a bit and dropped water/fat, but still can't wear any of my old jeans without walking like a retard unable to bend ze knees or lean forward at the hips hahaha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/459/#findComment-7067289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-FIGJAM- Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 out of curiosity, what is everyone's favorite exercise? mine would have to be deadlifts. I always approach this lift with as much aggression and intensity as i can possibly muster. That mixed in with pulling a big number brings me a lot of satisfaction Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/459/#findComment-7067408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trozzle Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Was pendlays very recently, though currently I'd say squats. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/459/#findComment-7067419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Crust Racing Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd say Deads is the most enjoyable for me, when I can do them, but Bench has always had a special place for me for some reason. I think because when I started out I went hard at it because I desperately wanted a chest. After that I became a curl bro.

Birds Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Deadlifts are my favourite. Nothing beats the feeling of locking out a heavy weight and standing there in lock out, triumphant over it. It also amazes me how much someone can lift with it, over and above their own weight, off the ground - especially when I was raised with the mantra "don't lift with your back". They also fixed my back problems, so will always have a special place in my...lower back Bench is a close second, just because the feeling of getting a weight up after struggling with it is close to the feeling of a deadlift lockout. I'd be interested to know what the favourite of a lot of powerlifters is. I'm gonna guess the squat, because a lot of people have big deads and bench, but squat always seems to need the most improvement. Yet a lot of top powerlifters have a slightly bigger squat than they can deadlift.

The Bogan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Clean and Press is my fav, I do it after squats, great for all round body strength. For Birds due to the products in your pic > Quote from American Psyco My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. No offence, just taking the piss.

r31slpr Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Nice hahaha pullups would have to be my favourite, because I suck at them. A trainer at the gym said I can use chalk as long as I don't leave a mess. Where do you guys get yours from? Ebay? Or anybody know any places in perth?

I did have a real chalk bag for a while but I left it at the gym one day and someone nicked it, thieving bastards.
