I just bought a pull-up bar that installs in a door frame. You can get them at any sporting goods store.
Here is what you do.
Install it in your bathroom door frame. Everytime you go to the bathroom Do a set of Pullups to failure before entering and then one after to failure when you are done using the bathroom. Do this everytime you use the bathroom. Do this everyday.
Not only will you help build muscle, you will never have to do cardio as this will burn way more calories each day, then cardio would.
Also, you can use the pull-up bar anytime you like, but make the bathroom visits mandatory.
-
i put one right in front of my toilet so i can do pullups while i take a piss
i do behind the necks on the opposite side whenever i take a shit just to keep the muscles guessing
lol seriously though, its a good idea to burn extra calories i guess

You will never have to do cardio as pullups burn lots of calories and are more efficient.
Also, you will be creating the potential to build muscle and strength.
Conventional Cardio does not offer either of those.

this is sorta off topic
but would doing 30-45 minutes of abs everyday be the same thing. Kind of like what Serge Nubret used to do.
-
I read that is how a marine got the most number of pull-ups in basic training or something like that. He had to do pull-ups everytime he went to the "john". End up getting 70 or something, there was a thread of getbig not so long ago.
Though you won't burn many calories doing pullups. You're only moving your bodyweight a short distance. Walking up and down the stairs to go to the toilet would probably burn more energy.

Pull-ups when done correctly with ZERO momentum or swing, burns lots of calories as a lot of muscle are involved.

I just purchased 6 double cheeseburgers and 2 hot and spicy chicken sandwiches from McDonalds. I had five sandwiches and gave each of my three dogs one.

You shouldn`t eat that much at one time.

i have one of those already installed in the bathroom doorframe. funny just today i was thinking about trying to do pullups every day
-

No, you are moving your bodyweight only a short distance. There is not a lot of energy required to do that. An hours weights session is only going to burn 300 calories at most, why is a set of pullups every time you go to the toilet going to burn a lot of calories?
-
Nah, I'm good. Doing a single pullup everytime I take a piss or shit doesn't qualify as cardio as I'm not eating 1/8th of a mcdonald's cheeseburger and one tablespoon of ice cream a day. I'll stick to playing basketball...

GOD DAM YOUR STUPID!

I said a set to failure on the way in, and a set to failure on the way out.
I can do 20 a set just fine.
-

I usually don't but I was pretty hungry. I also just had three of those fun size baby ruths and 2 nestle crunch. I didn't give my dogs any of that because chocolate isn't good for them. Now, I am going to watch that movie the departed and take a nap.

Depends on the speed and the contraction as to how much energy you would expend.
Going slow and flexing hard will burn more calories than swinging.
Also, calories burned in weightlifting is dependent upon too many factors. If you are only burning 300 than you aren`t weightlifting correctly.
-
Adonis,
Why don't you put a 225 lb barbell beside your toilet with a camcorder rigged up.... then you could burn thousands of calories flapping your yap making excuses every time you go to the bathroom.

I guess in your case, since you can only do one rep to failure, it wouldn`t work that well.
Most people are too obese or lack the strength to do even 10 pullups which is sad.
MY technique will help you reach that goal though.

hahaha funny shit.
DP,
On my many trips across the US looking to offer new G4P sponsorship to troubled black youth in areas the likes of Compton, South Central, the mean streets of Chicago and North Carolina (sadly, to no avail), I have noticed that many of those young, Negro, heavily endowed brothers are indeed very resourceful. I witnessed a few of them in Chicago (at close range) using the mechanical walk sign in the corner to do some pull-ups and with very good form I might add. I could almost imagine the same rhythmic pattern as they bury their 9-inch glocks up my unshaven holster, but besides that..
Have you ever taken part in such unorthodox training?

If you think you burn a lot of energy weight lifting, you are very mistaken. Essentially the energy you use will be determined by the force you use and the distance you move the weight. As the distance is pretty small when you lift weights the amount you burn isn't that much.
Also
I remembered this post of yours...
IF I wanted to burn about 1000 calories and wanted to do so in weightlifting, it would take about 231 minutes or almost 4 HOURS of STRAIGHT weightlifting.

Very interesting you bring this up ni**a,
I have mentione on many occasions, I sell a lot of shit, I mostly clock at Compton park, well heres the deal,
theres a good quality climbing frames and swings where i do my ghetto training, in between selling crack to junkies and hoes.

Lets see who we should listen too. ANother bullshit thread. Why do you do this crap. You try to make it sound like you discover this shit. How about this. Everytime you walk, walk more. If you have to walk to the store, walk past the store then turn around and walk back. This way you get more cardio. Here is one better, save your money on the pullup bar which has been around since the 70's and just do 50 pushups before and after taking a shit. Or one better take a shit while doing jumping jacks. Dude you are pathetic. Amazing how you like so much attention and you look the way you do

Whats funny is, picturing your fat ass trying to struggle to get one pullup....You`d rip the fucking doorframe out,collapse in a pile of your own misery without even completing a quarter rep of one pullup.
You are a joke fat man.

Again, it is relative to what you do.
If you did Squats with heavy weight for 20 rep sets for over an hour, I can assure you that you will be burning nearly 1000. The thing is, nobody does that, but they should.

LMAO i had a mental image of that and i cant stop laughing

This is a great idea; I may have to implement it myself. It seems that Adonis is one of the few people on this board who is always sharing constructive tips and ideas.
-
HaH. I'd probably knock myself out going for a late night piss, wake up all groggy and hit my head again. Too impractical, and I like to vary my hand width. :-\

That is the quote of the week! LMAO. ;D

Funny that many people are attacking TA, but most aren't attacking the idea. it's a pretty good idea. Might interfere with back day a bit in the beginning, but once you got used to it, it'd be very beneficial. The only disclaimer would be "Do not attempt pullups in those scenarios where a great deal of bodily waste is making a beeline from the exit".
other than that, great contribution.
-
weight training every time you attend the toilet.
mike mentzer would be turning in his grave.

exactly, this is where these so called "bodybuilders" go wrong, they have a mistaken mindset that McDonald's is a "cheat food" or a "bad food", well no shit Sherlock ANY food eaten in that type of excess is bad, fuccking morons.
-
this is sorta off topic
but would doing 30-45 minutes of abs everyday be the same thing. Kind of like what Serge Nubret used to do.
used to do it back in high school. i would do sit ups for 45-55 minutes, listening to music. had to stop in the middle to change the tape to the other side. these were the days, lol. but seriously, this is what i believe gave me decent abs, even today i have better abs than all these punks who throw in couple of abs sets at the end of their workout....

Adonis garners the attention because he's in very good shape and practices what he preaches. Some of the stuff we can do without but he has a lot of followers and everyone who has been following his Adonis Principles have had some great results....especially tweeter and Chasinator.
As far as you are concerned, you need to use Adonis Principles for your mobile home doublewide fat ass of yours....... ;D

You use the word "relative" allot. Is this because of the inbreeding bestowed in your lifestyle. I mean do still go to family reunions to hopefully meet your future wife.
And just how ignorant do you think we are. You put down so many ignorant statements I am really surprised if you ever graduated from high school. That last sentence is so stupid. Why don't you just go all out say if a guy squatted one rep a second for an hour straight then they would be burning 10,000 calories, but they don't but they should. Fuck you are a dipshit. I have know about lifting then you ever will. You preach so much bullshit. Like I said save your money and go to the Olympia. you and me will train at the golds on Sahara & Decatur. You won't last past the 2nd set. And where is the video of your deadlift. Man you are delusional. Honestly there needs to be a thread just to expose your bullshit. We need a thread to compete with the Hulksters thread.

Oh lord it's the attack of the delusional people today. Vince you should try the Apenis principle. You're a fat so-called BB so you need his concentration camp principles to get lean. Go for it man. You would be the perfect example.
Also you should sell Apenis's book on your website.

running 8 minute miles for a half hour burns as much as hard weightlifting for an hour.

30 minutes for a 200 pound man. running hard? around 800. weightlifting? under 300.

Again. It is relative to what exercises you do and the intensity.
I am quite confident an hours worth of 20 rep squats with 2-3 minute rests between sets until you get to an hour, would surely burn more than 300 calories.

What if I have to piss really bad and can't wait? Can I do two sets on the way out, or should I just piss my pants while doing the first set? ::)

.
If you had a chinup bar in the bathroom doorway, how would you be able to shut the door to keep others from watching your business?
I also hope you wash your hands after every visit to the toilet or else this could be one nasty chinup bar.

the weight you would have to use in order to sustain that activity would be so light you might as well just do cardio. and you're ignoring how long it takes to do the sets. are you talking 20 reps with breathing between? or 20 nonstop? in the former case, there's no way you could do more than three sets of that with such brief resting period. if the latter, you'd again have to be going so light that you might as well start running.
you have two kinds of muscle fibers: fast twitch and slow (plus the slow is further subdivided into IIa and IIb). your fast twitch has no endurance, your slow has no strength (speaking in sweeping generalities). the type of weightlifting that, for how long the exertion occurs, burns the most calories would be complete unsustainable for long periods.
otherwise why do 20 rep squats? why not do repeated max effort triples with short rest? you're tacitly admitting that you have to do endurance training to burn calories rather than heavy lifting in that your scenario involves gearing the "lifting" all toward endurance.
and that's COMPLETELY ignoring CNS effect. by your logic, we should just add an exercise or two to every workout. and we should do it all ball-bustingly heavy. because the heavier the lift, the more effort is exerted and thus the more calories are burned. unfortunately, once again, the body isn't that simple. you can't just think "well calories burned is energy expended, and lifting weights is harder than running, so lifting weights for an hour means more burned calories!" because the body just plain don't work dat way.
and that's further ignoring the fact that at different levels of exertion different fuel sources are used, AND that this can be heavily dependent on your diet. in a ketogenic diet, the body uses fat for its fuel source over carbs (as there are no carbs in the diet for most of the week). so if we do an hour of cardio and burn 1000 calories, that's 1000 calories of fat burned at 9cals per gram, that's 111.11g or roughly a quarter of a pound. in this model, four days of cardio per week is a pound of fat lost, and that's not including how many more are spent due to calorie reduction.
i could keep going, but i'm getting bored. though i do so enjoy doing things like this that it's why i decided to start responding again. at least when you're civil and not acting like an idiot (or posting as the heckler).

Small correction: It's the Fast Twitch which are divided into two types, usually called IIa and IIx.
Not the Slow Twitch.

Actually the body is that simple and efficient and you have demonstrated my point well. I advocate all styles of training, high reps, low reps, varying weights. I do all.
Cardio is not neccesary at all though due to the fact when we are already in a caloric defecit, fat will be burned all day, even at rest. Combine that with weightlifting and that is more than enough.
-
Whats funny is, picturing your fat ass trying to struggle to get one pullup....You`d rip the fucking doorframe out,collapse in a pile of your own misery without even completing a quarter rep of one pullup.
You are a joke fat man.
Whats even funnier is the image of you trying to deadlift 225 for 112 reps like you said you can. Now thats funny. Another funny thing is trying to imagine you bench pressing 405 like you said you did. Your skinny weak ass couldn't lift shit. You would be laughed out of a gym if you went. Is the reason why you can't post a video, you got kicked out of the gym. I know thats part of it and the fact you never could do it. Remember your role here on Getbig and other boards, you are the joke, you are the one WE laugh at. It won't change no matter how much you lie to everyone.

Why is Adonis advocating that people do squats for an hour?
He can't even manage the ten minutes it takes him to deadlift 225 for 112 reps...

the body is NOT that simple. at all. the body is a complex machine and boiling everything down into activity vs non-activity, caloric surplus vs deficit is simply a case of massive misunderstanding of how the body works.
cardio is not necessary to cause a caloric deficit, it's true, but that doesn't mean that one who causes said deficit just by diet will end up looking the same as one who does so via cardio. you certainly wouldn't flip that around and say that you don't need to lift weights because a caloric surplus is a caloric surplus and causes growth, would you?
someone like me could definitely drop fat simply through dietary adjustments, but that will only carry one so far. and more than that, HOW the calories are burned is a big difference. calorie usage changes greatly given activity, and while i'm no doctor i believe anyone with medical training will tell you that the body uses calories differently at rest versus while doing something like cardio.

Some more ideas:-
When at work:- Do 10 incline press-ups on the vending machine before and after getting your coffee.
When at the pub:- Put feet on a stool and do 10 dips with hands on the bar before and after ordering your drinks.
When at the club:- Do 20 one-leg calf raises on the steps everytime the queue moves forward.
When on GetBig:- Do 10 sissy squats off your chair before and after every post.

Oh lord it's the attack of the delusional people today. Vince you should try the Apenis principle. You're a fat so-called BB so you need his concentration camp principles to get lean. Go for it man. You would be the perfect example.
Also you should sell Apenis's book on your website.
Hahahaha is it me or is everyone teaming up on you today? Let me help you and i cannot stress the points any clearer. Maybe this time they will get through your fat head.
1. You are FAT
2. You need to lose weight

A similar idea to the first post on this thread but with a different approach...
"Fortunately for me, I came across an article about pullups on Clarence Bass' website, www.cbass.com, during the summer of 2000. Clarence Bass runs an excellent website and it was where I originally heard of Pavel Tsatsouline and www.Dragondoor.com. In the article, which was called ‘A Small Experiment in Synaptic Facilitation’, Clarence told a story of how Pavel Tsatsouline's father-in-law was able to set a personal record with pullups after performing multiple sets of pullups throughout each day. Roger Antonson used the program to perform 20 pullups after just a few months of training, which was more than he had been able to do 40 years earlier in the Marine Corps. Clarence followed a similar program and was also able to perform 20 pullups after a few months of training, too. I was intrigued and had to try this program for myself!
The basic idea behind this program is to perform a selected exercise as often as possible without overtraining. In order to avoid overtraining, none of the sets should be taken to muscular failure. The formula Pavel gave was "Specificity + Frequent Practice = Success." Pavel's father-in-law did one set of pullups every time he went down to his basement, which added up to a total of 25 to 100 pullups per day. Clarence Bass' approach was slightly different. He "did three sets of chins each day (morning, noon, and late afternoon) and occasionally an additional set in the evening." Clarence began his experiment with sets of 10. I decided to try the approach Clarence Bass used. Things worked fine for a while. I was doing sets of 10 reps three times a day. It was easy the first week, but doing 3 sets of 10 reps became difficult towards the end of the second week. Copying Clarence's approach, or anyone's approach exactly, was a mistake for me. In hindsight, I could have reduced my reps per set and kept doing 3 sets per day. Instead, I changed my approach to doing just one set per day and adding 1 rep to my sets every 2 weeks. The approach might not seem like much, but my progress was steady and I always felt fresh. I had purchased a copy of Power to the People! at this time and read about a scientific study that found 1 set of 5 reps performed 5 days a week was more effective than 5 sets of 5 reps once a week. Therefore, my approach seemed logical. My experiment began on July 3, 2000 with 1set of 11 pullups per day. I was averaging 16 pullups a day a few months later and decided to test myself. I was finally able to do an easy 20 pullups, plus I scored a 300 on my next PFT! A friend of mine has used this same program consistently for over two years. In an e-mail to me, he wrote, "I have ran four 300 PFTs in a row the last one having been in June. I will do another in two weeks... I did do the workout with my Marines in Oki. I even let a few test out the kettlebells and they like them. In two short years I was able to get most of my PLT to 1st class PFT scores. When I arrived, I had half 1st class and half second class. We did pullups every day 1 set at 75% of max, then the pullup ladder on Fridays. We made it a competition. Most of the Marines saw great gains in their pullups like I did."
Begin the program by doing one set of pullups per day. The number of reps to start off with should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of your max. Add 1 pull-up to your daily set about once every 2 weeks. Adding reps too soon may lead to burnout. Use your intuition to determine what's best for you. The volume will increase gradually and allow your body to adapt. Test your pullups every 6 weeks and post your results on the Dragondoor.com forum. You can also use this program to maintain a given number of pullups. For example, many people can perform 20 pullups on any given day as long as they continue to do an average of 16 pullups per day. The program is quick and will produce good results. Plus, it won't interfere with your other training goals. Once you perform your 20 pullups, you have a few options other than just maintaining your ability to do 20 pullups. You can use more advanced training methods, like ladders, to add more reps to your pullups or you can begin doing pullups with additional weight attached to your body. Good luck!"

Funny that many people are attacking TA, but most aren't attacking the idea. it's a pretty good idea. Might interfere with back day a bit in the beginning, but once you got used to it, it'd be very beneficial. The only disclaimer would be "Do not attempt pullups in those scenarios where a great deal of bodily waste is making a beeline from the exit".
other than that, great contribution.
I'll attack the idea as being dangerous.
The pullup is a heavy exercise, especially if you weigh 200 or more. No one would do a 200lb pulldown for their first set.
By constantly doing them, cold, sooner or later, you're gonna pull something. You can probably get away with it if you're very young, but over-30 people will eventually tear themselves apart.

Hahahaha is it me or is everyone teaming up on you today? Let me help you and i cannot stress the points any clearer. Maybe this time they will get through your fat head.
1. You are FAT
2. You need to lose weight
3. You are a NOBODY
4. You suck
5. Thxbye
if you change the first 2 to read:
1. You are SKINNY
2. You need to put on some weight
the post would apply to you cause you suck and you're a nobody running around defending a guy-ta-who wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. Mega having an internet hero and feeling like you need to stick up for him at the drop of a dime.
You're a young guy and you're on here more than almost anyone else...have you ever even touched a girl? Seriously, go try to pick up a chick and in 6 months from now after you've gotten to 2nd base you'll wonder why you spent so much of your "formative years" on BB message boards with TA's balls hanging from your mouth.
-
Adonis,
Why don't you put a 225 lb barbell beside your toilet with a camcorder rigged up.... then you could burn thousands of calories flapping your yap making excuses every time you go to the bathroom.
The Luke
Hahahahahaa The Luke.... ;D
-
Adam, thats a great way to overtrain your back.
A better solution would be to put a 45lb plate around your waist with a belt chain and do sets of 6 x4.

Translation: I'm fat too.

I just bought a pull-up bar that installs in a door frame. You can get them at any sporting goods store.
Here is what you do.
Install it in your bathroom door frame. Everytime you go to the bathroom Do a set of Pullups to failure before entering and then one after to failure when you are done using the bathroom. Do this everytime you use the bathroom. Do this everyday.
Not only will you help build muscle, you will never have to do cardio as this will burn way more calories each day, then cardio would.
Also, you can use the pull-up bar anytime you like, but make the bathroom visits mandatory.

Make no mistake............this represents the psychological profile of "Adonis" IMO.
-
Yeah I did lots of pullups like that everday at one time..... when I weighed 160-170lbs or so and before I really got into weight training full time. No way anyone carrying decent weight can do that many pull ups everyday and still weight train hard, like someone said you would be injured pretty fast.
-
Translation: I'm fat too.
nope, not at all. translate this: Go suck a dick.
-
exactly, this is where these so called "bodybuilders" go wrong, they have a mistaken mindset that McDonald's is a "cheat food" or a "bad food", well no shit Sherlock ANY food eaten in that type of excess is bad, fuccking morons.
You do understand that Adam considers you 'obese' right??
-
As far as you are concerned, you need to use Adonis Principles for your mobile home doublewide fat ass of yours....... ;D
Monster, epic, HUGE, MONSTROUS irony there in that statement!!!!!

lol fucking oath it does, he'd rather pick out the ridiculous superficial factors of his and other peoples lives, its just way to easy to do.. put other people down to make yourself feel better, its like childs play. Experiment with the human body he sure does, but theres no golden rules .. sorry, we adapt to many things and he thinks HE speaks gospel, dribbles shit all day and everyday, and as much as i like to see him whinge and complain, i know i wont train any different, and by his age look better and have a nicer looking mug (keke)
just think about it like this - the effort he puts in here (don't try and make it sound insignificant too Adonis, you live for this shit) brings no returns. A real teacher doesn't teach the way he does.
-
what does it matter how much you eat at once?
who the fuck is adonis to tell you what to do?
-

Quoted for truth.
I'm going to laugh my ass off if or when TA comes on here and tells everyone who follows his "example" that he was just making up shit to see how many people's physiques he could ruin.

public service announcement:
1. adonis lives at home with mommy because he is unable to function in the real world
2. adonis has an imaginary girlfriend and claims to be a wine expert
3. adonis claims to be a student working on multiple degrees, but cannot say what school or degrees
4. adonis claims to have great knowledge of training, kinesiology, and nutrition, but has no degrees in any discipline
5. adonis was the wierd kid who wore a fedora and an overcoat in high school
6. adonis was not able to win an online BB contest against other amateurs despite his claims of superiority
That is all

225 x 112 deads..but his batteries ran out so he couldn't record it
-
u can only use them if u are like 95kg or less. aslso im too tall for it. also i cudnt be fucked. ill just chin in the gym
-
Call me crazy but I think I'll stick to my once a week heavy back/bi workout which includes pull-ups. Then I'll cardio on my bike, elliptical, or stair machine.
-
I guess Adonis isn't familiar with the concept of Overtraining.
You see some of us here are trying to develop large muscular physiques (I already have, unlike you). Doing 2 sets of chins to failure every time I use the john would be counterproductive.
Also, I guess this settles the fact that you sit in front of your computer all day, if you are constantly using YOUR bathroom.

Adonis doesn't believe in overtraining.

Another funny thing is trying to imagine you bench pressing 405 like you said you did.
Hey! He's benching 455 nowadays! :o
-
with the amount of calories adonis advocates that would mean about 4 sets of pullups total assuming you only crap twice a week on that birdseed diet.
secondly it only really makes sense if you stay at home all day and dont go to work, which i believe is the perspective its coming from. i'm sure the guys here would love to wait until i was done with my set of pull ups in a shirt and tie before exiting or entering the crapper.
"hey boss, i'm going to failure on this one, mind if i get a little spot here...just push up a bit on my feet so i....can....get....just. ...one....NOT TOO MUCH!!!.....yeah.....ok, thanks...whew"
"you're fired"
-
i put one right in front of my toilet so i can do pullups while i take a piss
i do behind the necks on the opposite side whenever i take a shit just to keep the muscles guessing
lol seriously though, its a good idea to burn extra calories i guess
lmao, this should be the next Animal pack advertisement
-
You will never have to do cardio as pullups burn lots of calories and are more efficient.
Also, you will be creating the potential to build muscle and strength.
Conventional Cardio does not offer either of those.
Static exercises with weight burns more calories than pullups!
Hope this helps!

This is one of the funniest threads in awhile.
That said, I was thinking that a more practical application of this idea would be to do squats without weights, as opposed to pullups.
You could do a set of, say, 25, and on the last rep just plop your ass down on the toilet.

What if I have to piss really bad and can't wait? Can I do two sets on the way out, or should I just piss my pants while doing the first set? ::)
Too damn funny!!!! ;D
