Workout/Bodybuilding III: Revengeance: Part Deux
I'm about 7 weeks out from the physique competition that I'd like to do. I'm sitting around 160-165 bodyweight and approximately 8-10% bodyfat. As I start to lean out, I can tell I've definitely put on some mass and become more defined in certain areas in comparison to last year this time. I don't look nearly as small. With that said, I'm just not sure if I'm going to be able to get to that 6-7% goal in time. With starting a new job next week, sticking to my diet is going to be tough.
After about a month long hiatus I'm about to start hitting the weights again, so I guess this is a good time to start contributing to this new thread! Might record some squats and post them here tomorrow :D
I'm 5'9 about 165lbs. Bench - 215 Squat - 305 Dead - 335 - although my squats are the only stat I really care about. I'm more about bodyweight exercises etc.
Looking forward to talking weights with you guys!
A smarter person would infer from the video's being unlisted that I don't want or care about view counts. Gg.
425 is my 1 rep max
Tried to hit 405 for 1 rep tonight on deadlift. Got past the hardest part but just couldn't get it up after that. Fucked my back up too.
I know I can get it, but I just did deadlifts 2 days ago, I was dumb for even trying it so soon.
sounds like 405 is your 1RM from here but 
Anyway, I didn't set out to get into a pissing match about how I'm stronger than you (which is I guess what you were trying to do?) but rather to call you a pussy for
Can we just get back to that?I just did deadlifts 2 days ago, I was dumb for even trying it so soon.
okay so im considering getting a gym membership, but have never been to one. And i don't have a person to help me get started in the neighborhood either since i recently moved. So i was wondering; if i was going to get a membership, how should i start? Should i just like, walk to different machines randomly and try things out, or should i make like a weekly schedule of things to work on? And also, how can i keep myself from slacking and staying home?

they should have trainers there which can answer any questions you may have. the machines themselves should have instructions on them as well (at least the ones at my gym do)
I have managed to loose enough so where my suit fits, but not enough where it fits well.
it looks great and fits great as long as it is unbuttoned and I'm standing still.
fack
If it fits while standing when unbuttoned only, then it doesn't fit bud.
naw it definitely doesn't fit.
but you make do with what you have.

I don't go to the gym (just bodyweight shit at the park/home) but I read this in Terry Crews most recent ama on reddit. Someone asked him how to stay motivated:
TREAT THE GYM LIKE A SPA.
Yes. It has to feel good. I tell people this a lot - go to the gym, and just sit there, and read a magazine, and then go home. And do this every day.
Go to the gym, don't even work out. Just GO. Because the habit of going to the gym is more important than the work out. Because it doesn't matter what you do. You can have fun - but as long as you're having fun, you continue to do it.
But what happens is you get a trainer, your whole body is sore, you can't feel your legs, and you're not coming back the next day - you might not come back for a year!
I worked my way up to 2 hours a day. I ENJOY my workouts. They are my peace, my joy - I get my whole head together! I value that time more than my shower! And it really gets me together. But it's a habit.
There are times when - I'm not even kidding - there are times when I"m in the middle of a work out, and actually woke up because i am so engrained with going to the gym and being there - it's that much of a habit to me. The first thing I do in the morning is work out - I lay out my workout clothes the night before, and just hop in 'em.
So lay out your clothes, and go to the gym, and relax.
HaAHAHAH!
But sooner or later, you WILL work out.
And also, how can i keep myself from slacking and staying home?
figure out a way to do it for a couple weeks and after that it'll become part of your routine and it'll be something you look forward to.
Benched today, wasn't going to go heavy, but worked up a nice 245x2 then 185x6x6 last rep paused. Then incline DB bench, flat bench, flyes, front raises, side raises, rear delt flyes and curls.
Spring break is next week. After that I am going to do 4 weeks of beltless volume, a deload week, a week of belt acclimation then see where I am. Really hoping to make some nice progress by going beltless for a while because I get so much out of my belt.

Legs going great, probably gonna be doing my first weighted barbell squat in 5 years within the next month. yay new fysio programme.
also have that dude dealing with my shoulder now, total opposite excersizes of my other fysio's programs through the yeaes so back to doing 1 and 2 kilo weight shit for infinity reps and super slow controlled movements, it looks and feels so weak lol. used to be able to go somewhat hard on arms and shoulders at least, hope i can make swift progress there as well.

Too late for video, I'll have my own chalk next week.
Pulling in Adipowers is an almost holy experience.
oh yeah? I have been meaning to try deadlifting in my VS Athletics but never get around to it. You think it helps with a raised heel?
Did some pullups, heavy barbell rows, heavy DB rows and heavy shrugs. I felt like I was flying around the gym. lats felt HOOOOOOGE. Weighed in at 181 so basically my spring break body is as ready as itll ever be.

It's honestly not raised all that much, but it allows me to engage quads more off the floor, which produces a faster lockout.
