I bet half of you didn't even lift today

Are U training without a barbell at home?  Barbell bent arm pullovers i like.

No I have a Barbell. and a ton of weights, I mix things up...next week I`ll use the barbell more....I did barbell curls just a few pages back....I hate BB Pullovers though.

Next week I`m gonna` set up a chinning bar I made....it`s stronger than hell and not the cheap aluminum doorway type  pieces of junk they sell these days.

100%   - I can't trust those things for pull ups or chin ups.

Can´t beat the basics with some Pig iron

Used to have one as a kid it always fell off the doorway mid rep.  LOL

I wholeheartedly agree brother....tons of people made huge progress before the advent of complex overdesigned and overcomplicated machines.....plus nutrition comes into play bigtime to further a person progress.

[IroNat]

You act like I don't train for the same things. I am an athlete. I don't starve myself for abs. But yes 90 minutes a day of timed lifts without rest seems a little much. I am just trying to motivate to get to the gym today and maybe lift for 45 minutes to an hour.

You were an athlete.  Now you're a 44 year old decrepit man.

Primemuscle hits those muscle groups 7 days a week without rest.

Sorry some concepts are too complex for your brain.  You seem to think that your 'gains' are linear as well (which couldn't be further from the truth).  There is a lot of research on HYPERTROPHY when it comes to periodization and RPE focused training. 

There is much more to building muscle than the simple 1 body part a week for 3x 10 - 12 reps.  (queue your comeback where you say you aren't doing 10 - 12 reps).  Varying the rep speed, rep range, weight, rest between sets, range of motion, etc, etc, etc.

Bullshit you are overthinking it and making it too complicated it's not an exact science you have to adjust based on how your body feels not some predetermined calculus

You sure get mad when someone says something that rubs the wisps of your hair the wrong way.   So odd that many people continue to make gains yet you still can't get over 225lbs and maintain it longer than it takes you to walk to the bathroom and shit it out.

Referring to things like RPE as calculus shows how feeble of a mind you have.  Israetel has forgotten more about training and gaining than you will ever know.  Your mind is like the gates of Mordor for fucks sake.

I can't get over 225lb with single digit bodyfat at the age of 44 not exactly the same thing. And again you think I am not familiar with every type of training and diet advice. Why am I going to add 5lbs every week for months and change the reps and sets by one when we know growth is not linear. One day you just add another entire fucking 45lb plate and just keep going.

You're right, I don't think that.   I KNOW it.

Just magically you ADD a 45# plate?  You really just said that?  So just magically one day you wake up and 50# to a bench?  A squat? 

[bhank]

Yes exactly. One day I just feel stronger and will increase the weight sometimes significantly the reps may also come down they may not but yeah all of a sudden you can just feel the body change and get stronger heavier it can happen overnight. Staying at the same weight or adding 5lbs makes no sense when that happens. But yeah especially with squat I could add 50lbs to my working sets today if I really felt like it. Could I add 50lbs to my working bench sets yeah but reps would come down still babying the chest so could go up significantly if I wanted.  15 reps may turn into 8 but I am not just going to add 5lbs and a rep each week for 8 weeks then deload and start over that is not really how strength develops. Little changes to diet and recovery will make more of a difference than advanced quadrolatic formulas on your rep and set count or fancy preexhausting, forced reps, negatives, time reps, pyramid schemes, x percent of max nonsense  etc etc

[Taffin]

Nobody cares about your unevenly shaped abs and you have a very wide waist from eating junk.

What a weird way to look at training.

Not only that, but he stretched the last pic to make his waist smaller, without realising his head would be far too thin!

[Gym-Rat]

Not only that, but he stretched the last pic to make his waist smaller, without realising his head would be far too thin!

I had a build like that when I was 15 in high-school after 3-yrs of lifting.
well done little bhanks

I have never manipulated or photoshopped my pics in any manner but I see you continue to do so. What kind of jackass photoshops other mens pics? Hater

Yeah it's called remaining aesthetic were you 220lbs? Fuck no you were not. I am 220lbs with abs I am doing just fine. Here is the original you were not this size and condition in high school and let's be real you are not this size and condition now either

Really?  So you are expecting us to believe that you did not thin down the picture on the left?  100% unchanged pic on the right for comparison

[wes]

That happens when the drugs kick in, trust me I`ve been there.

Your torso doesn`t look that much bigger than mine when I was a lightweight competitor and we all know what your leg look like.

You`re either the smallest 220 pound bodybuilder on the planet or one that lied about his height and weight.

I absolutely did not have not and dont even know how to thin down any kind of pic. I do know how to manipulate water and the difference 8lbs of fluid can make to the face and physique not sure why getbig doesn't.

For fuck sake I posted my military physical with my height and weight listed on it
