Gym & Fitness Thread

[ajajamamuteoxd]

Apartment complex has a fitness room, so I've started working out there a few times a week. I'm not in the greatest of shape from sitting on my ass all the time. I'm not fat at all though, actually I think I'm kind of skinny, 6'2'' ~178lbs and pretty athletic. But I've been pretty inactive for the past 2-3 years.

So here's what I've been doing. It just seemed healthier to get my cardio fitness to a good level before I tried too much strength training, so I've been jogging 1 mile about 3 days a week. I'm slowly upping the pace, but right now I'm still doing like an 11 minute mile. I'm not trying to kill myself running, so I'm taking it pretty slow. Just a nice easy jog.

Once or twice a week I'll mix in some other things like push ups, crunches, leg lifts, and a few dumbbell exercises.

My goal is to gradually increase my overall fitness level and maybe put on a few pounds. Any of you have any advice on things I should/shouldn't be doing? So far I've pretty much been just winging it.

in all honesty if you're actually looking for results the one thing you shouldn't be doing is winging it

if you're looking to be more physically fit instead of bodybuilding-like like half of this thread is, i'd suggest looking up a CrossFit regimen

Yeah too many people think that you only lift weights to become a bodybuilder, there is so many options that you can take (depending on your goal)

So I woke up 30mins ago with the aches... seems like deadlift is good for me.

Shoulders (alot)
Outer parts of chest (alot)
Thighs (alot)
Traps (Minor)


All aches. :P

Last gym session they played 3 Bruno Mars songs in a row. Today they played Friday.

I am now considering changing gym.

My gyms music blows too haha. I would listen to my own, but my smartphone broke and that was my only music device. Anyone know a way to flesh out definition somewhat fast? I don't have a set time to get defined by, I've been going for runs and mixing them into my workouts as well as taking some creatine to boost whatever muscle growth I'm getting. I'm seeing some progress, but god damn is it slow.

Drugs, dumb question.

[Jackolope]

Ehhh yeah I've been thinking about it. Found a site that has clenbuterol and keto-something (the drug accompanying it that keeps your receptors from getting all beat on by the clen) for like $125 w/ shipping. Kind of want. I don't have the cash to be buying **** l don't need though.

[Atomic]

I do cocaine .

I did some deadlifting today, never done it before.

Lower back was like "uhhhh wtf you doing" on the first rep, but all reps after = No problems at all. My thighs are already aching lol

I remember after my first day of deadlifting i couldn't bend over to tie my own shoe laces let alone walk up the stairs :[

1 mile jogs? I can't run 150 meters without being exhausted. I guess any advice we can give you depends on what your goal is, if you want to get kinda lean with good cardiovascular stamina then treadmills etc. on an incline will provide enough resistance to build a little muscle etc. I think for overall fitness and keeping lean you'll really need to sort out your diet, probably aim for 2000-2500 calories per day depending on the cardio that you do, if you're looking to drop visceral fat keep the carbs kinda low and focus on eating chicken etc. Oh an broccoli is good, it contains essential ZMA's for muscle growth.

Also you could consider picking up some protein powder for easy meals. If your goal changes into getting a zyzz-like body then come back for more help!

Clen cutting has its risks, it not only strips visceral fat but also removes some essential fats from around the heart. If you're looking to gain muscle clen isn't for you, it's to remove fat, you'd probably want to start on dianabol with nolvadex PCT, run a 6 week cycle and lift heavy, clen cut after to achieve 6% BF.

Of course if you wanted to cycle that's probably the beginner level on doing it.

Hey Ssyou, my back doesn't ache much maybe because I'm barrel chested. It's known that being barrel chested is beneficial for both power and breathing (larger lungs) visually it's sucky though. lol.

[Jackolope]

I definitely appreciate the advice, I'll take it into consideration. Dianapol seems kinda dangerous compared to others, given the long list of side effects. I was going to go with clen because it had the enhanced protein processing as well as fat cutting, but I didn't know about that effect with your heart before. I don't wanna get that gynomastia **** though (aka ***** tits). My mom took some sort of estrogen compound in college in a study and it gave her big tits, but I think I inherited the effects. I have more breast tissue (not fat) than the average guy, but not anything where people notice, just given that I actually have developed pecs. However, I don't want more. From what I've heard, it's all but impossible to get rid of other than surgery.

Mantits are the best.

How about don't take any drugs and actually put the effort in? Jus' sayin'

[GunT3ch]

good one good one.. don't make me regret posting here

Haha I'm sorry I couldn't resist. Since your obviously working out to improve the appearance of your body why not do it whole heartedly and get a real weight lifting plan.

Also I agree with this and will until I plateau... xD

Run a nolvadex PCT anti-estrogen cycle whilst cut dieting and lifting hard, it might resolve.

I'll cycle in about 6-9 months time after i come off my first cut, my gains are slowing massively.

[Atlakai]

Thing is, you're gonna take drugs to look bigger, then you won't be happy with that size, so you take it more to get even bigger and ****.

Work out your bodyfat % etc. and do a diet plan accordingly, a pretty good "standard" bulk diet would be something like this -

3,000-3,500 calories
250g of protein
2g of carbs per 1 lb of bodyweight
80g of fat (unsaturated)

And then lift alot in the gym, go through strength training and then do volume after a few months.

^-- do not make all of your fat unsaturated, saturated fat is necessary to maintain testosterone levels

anyway i haven't even been macro counting during bulk. literally just eat a **** load and kept it clean, always meet my calorie goal for the day etc..
