I think I remember why I started coming here and was curious if we are going to shape this clubhouse into something different for the bunch of us how about a thread about lifting or working out that is serious? No random attacks or flaming (unless someone is bullshitting) just the bunch of us having a place to talk about what we like or don't about the gym rat life?

I used to do the heavy/light route but for me found I was at the gym all the time and my immune system was always low and I never felt like I was recovering.

NO it's not... ;D Like the rest of us thats all you want till you do it and then it's HMMM 400 for a double and 20 reps 275 is up next. ;D
-
You and me both. >:(
i ain't too far i don't think. if i started off fresh i'm pretty sure i'd hit 225 for over 20. i'm in the 340-350 area for a single depending on how i feel. there's just that mental barrier when you put a 25 on each side. like going from a 305 bench to a 315 bench.

hahaha, that's just by summer. end of the year i'd love to hit 405 once and get 275x20. my best currently is 9. :-\

I am having the same issue with squats. I know I should be able to and can dance up close to my barrier but nope. I have been trying walk outs to get my mind comfortable with the idea of the weight. Half the time I swear it's all in my head.

Stick another tampon in there and suck it up. It's understandable though, I remember the first time I tried to squat 135, was brutal!!!! :D
I'm the same way sometimes, I've psyched myself out before on lifts. >:(

tampon in your ass while squatting.........now that's hardcore!

My goal is 375 flat bench for 1 before summer's over.
My biggest problem is that I have a mental block bringing the bar down to my chest,
for some reason I always bring the bar down waaay to slow and it takes alot out of me >:(

Funny I get that all the time in my job but no. I did not even go over 200 until I left the corp in 90 when I was 22. Used to be all cut and good looking but got tired of the life... ;D It's been a slow march up, plus it's not like I am 2% body fat either, but at 6'3 I still feel thin like. ;D I make the joke to people I started out as a Linebacker size and keep moving closer to the ball the older I get.

i talk with powerlifters on other boards. even when i was 270 i felt small when it was next to guys like tone barbaccio who's about 6'4" and 350 or this fucker named hat who's a legit 7' tall and over 400 pounds.
-
Lifts have been going a lot better lately but I've had to do abs more and cut back on the heineken.
As much shit as people love to talk about powerlifters being fat, having a little more fat sure makes the lifts easier and recover times better. There must be some optimum level that supports immume function and recovery.
Now.. If I cold only stop dehydrating myself every morning with an assload of coffee.

i was so busy at work last year that i started only training at weekends
couldn't maintain :(
took me three months to get back to looking decent >:(
training 5 times a week

I've been on a roll lately. It's probably because of having a consistent routine and work-out partner for the first time in years.

I stay pretty consistent, espically since I went to one on one off but I figure the time I miss is sometimes better for me mentally. Sometimes espically the older I get the more rest I can get the better I feel overall.

I definetly need to start pushing myself again.
when summer hits there's alot going on and Iv'e been missing some workouts.

315x1 and 325x1 close-grip today, finished up with 225x12. i figured out i'd been taking far too long on the negative, so i made that quicker and the weights just blew up. i'll call that a victory. 8)

I had a sick workout yesterday! I'm wondering if losing a wrist wrap helped. Used my normal weight but was down 4 reps overall on the incline db press.

might be psychosomatic. i lost a wrist wrap a while ago and everything over 225 felt like it was going to make my wrists snap. then i stopped using them at all and now unless i'm doing heavy pin presses or board presses i'm fine.

Killed my legs so bad on Friday night hobbled around like a gimp all weekend. I love that.

going heavy on walking lunges messes up the point of em, i think. look at any pro, they go light as hell on them. ronnie uses 185-225, a lot of guys rarely go over 135.
last time i did them i used 115 and it was plenty if you're going more than 10 or 11 steps.

Had a really good back and Arms workout yesteday. I know it's gay but after reading all about Milos workout/amino supplement stuff I am trying to follow his lead. I am not spending the cash on his stuff to much money. Just a modified version of EAA's + creatine + glutimine/taurine/NO+ some gatorade. Had a great pump but not sure if that had anything to do with it or placebo effect.

Fucked up getting 375 for flat bench tonight >:(
got up 355 and figured for sure i was getting 375 but i pushed the bar up too far up over my neck and head and ended up needing a spot.
my partner thinks that if i brought it up correct i would of had it.
Damn!

IMO It depends on what type of program you are working at. I tend to get down to 1-3 reps on something like bench pressing almost every workout lately since I am working to move my strength levels up. With my schedual if I did it on a Monday I would not hit it again until Sunday. That seems to be more then enough time for everything to get back to normal (soreness/CNS/ect). I think for most people (younger) you could get that down to about 3 days. Much quicker then that and I don't think you can recover enough to progress.

it's also easier to recover from bench maxing than, say, squat/pull maxing. i've been doing a lot of doubles and singles lately and while my bench is doing fine, my squat and pull aren't so i'm taking a few weeks of just triples without a belt.

Not sure if I agree with you. I think all out effort no matter big or small muscle group recovery is about the same. It just feels worse when your whole back/shoulders/traps/forearms/ect are sore from deads as opposed to just chest/shoulders/tri's. Legs for me always kill me regardless.

it's a CNS thing, not just muscular recovery. i never get sore any more except when i'm hammering out a particular muscular imbalance (lagging shoulders now >:( ), but you burn out hard if you're pulling heavy singles week after week unless your recovery is particularly efficient and you eat/sleep a lot. i could pull all day long when i was eating like a horse and didn't mind my 40" waist, but these days i have to take some deload time even though my bench is doing fine.

No I agree I was talking whole recovery package. I agree you can't keep doing it week after week, I was thinking from the start we were talking about a cycle. 8-12 weeks progressing followed by some down time and lighter lifting for a couple of weeks before starting over. I do think you can get your body to change if you keep working at a consistent level and push yourself but you do reach a point of burn out. Even sleep and food do not seem for me to break the cycle of feeling worn.

ah, yeah i agree there. i meant working in the 95% of 1RM area every week will just kill you after a while. especially with dieting, it left me barely able to get 2 reps with what used to be easy warmup.

Thanks SF.
here's my question guys
I do chest once a week so I wait 3 or 4 workouts before I try for my max.
Do you guys think thats good?
For some reason right or wrong thats the way I thought your suppose to do it.

I have always found sometimes you need to try it on yourself and see if it works for you. If you max then wait a couple of days and come back as strong if not more and can push hard, then keep forcing your body and muscle to do so. If you try it and come back weaker or you feel overtrained or stressed then it does not work. You really can't take what works for person A and fit it to person B, only concepts and ideas can be adapted and tried. Plus whats the harm if you try and nothing happens..you just learned what does not work and know not to do it and try something different.

Just keep in mind that they like everything need time to recover. Better to have one good workout where you feel and squeeze the muscle thru you're reps then to just do something for the sake of doing more. Find a couple of different exersices that work for you and keep nuging the weight up, but keep the form ture...wow that sounds like stupid flex magazine advice..LOL but really it's true.
Are you doing any of the big "3" (close grip benching/dips/skull crushers) ?

Hey guys if you ever need some real good advice don't hesitate to pm me.
Ive been in the game for years, and have a ton of knowledge.

Yup,do all the big 3.my arms are just real hard gainers.I usually wait at least 3 days before
I hit a body part again but I just don't wanna go to the gym and just do bi's :)

Do bi's with Calves or Hams. IMHO arms have much more to do with your bodyweight and body structure that other parts. I have long gorilla arms and it is always a issue to build them. But for me I have found that if I spend more time on back/chest and less on arms my arms tend to get bigger as I go up in weight. Now if we are talking bi peak..I am a genitic loser... ;D

I know you beasts warm up with shit like this but got 4 solid reps with 315 doing good mornings for back tonight.For me thats a PR. Overall had a great workout and feeling good. Also got 4 reps on the t bar with 6 plates. 2 more plates and a couple more reps and I could carry Jays Jock..well at least hold it a little... ;D

Thanks man, but for someone my size I am way to weak. I would really like to get to the point of 6-8 reps on the big 3 at 500 each. I think one of the problems is I work out by myself and though I push it there are times when I think having a partner would push me harder. The other night I was working in with a guy at the gym who is a very strong guy. He is old school and it made me push myself more. If I did that more offten I think I could do it.

Been on a new diet, got past the feeling of hunger in a couple of days and lack of carbs sluggishness starting to fade a little. Still hate doing cardio, but strength levels have not dropped yet and mentally in a good mood.

Bump for the missing Always Sore :-\
now that summer's winding down how many have been pushing it at the gym again? hell,I even started squating again ;D

Tonight is probably gonna be chest, but I'm also feeling hams/calves. It's Monday so every "once a week Rambo" will be charging into Gold's, grabbing the first available flat bench, throwin a 45 on either side and attempting to rep it 5 times....this will go on for hours.....may be hams/calves.

Yes, my school gym is like that. Every Monday night all 8 power racks are occupied by the 110 pound iron warriors working off their huge weekend gains off Dubra and Natty Light.

I can't stand that shit.....it was same when I was in school. Atmosphere in the gym was great, but the number of peons trying to rep 135lbs everytime they walked in the door was sickening. There's something about men, a bench and the need to put at least one 45 per side on that bar whether they can lift it or not.

hahaha, last Friday I was in there and was using the shoulder press rack across from the power racks. Kid was benching with a 25 and 5 on each side and dropped it on his chest. I thought he was going to get it up so I sat there watching him for like 20 seconds. Then when I saw no one else was helping him, I walked over and helped him out. I then proceeded to curl it for a set of 58 while he looked on in disbelief. Everything but the last sentence is true. Was pretty funny. I've dropped weights on myself before without a spot but I thought weights that low were reserved for titties like Noc.

The worst is when I got trapped in a leg press. Was doing toe presses for calves on a leg press and didn't have but maybe 500-600 lbs on it. Normally I just leave the sled locked and use the upper half of the range of movement for calf work. Well that fvckin night I unlocked the sled for some reason and when I got finished with my set for calves I let it come down quickly to rest on what I lock was a locked sled....eh heh. Had to call 3 friends to bail me out like a dumbass.....I've never forgotten since.

hahahahaha! I've done something like that, but it was with regular leg presses and I was doing a set of 20. Got to like the 18th rep and my legs just gave out. Got it down slow but had to have my lifting buddy help me push it back up.

I've done something similar while training legs on the leg press. I had about 900lbs loaded and I cinched my belt real tight (LOL and don't gimme that "why you got a belt on on the leg press"), got to the 8th rep and then everything went black across my eyes for a second like I had blacked out....it's happened a couple other times.

hahahaha! I see stars sometimes when I get off of it. Great feeling getting up all wobbly and light headed.

There's nothing like that feeling of destroying your legs and then limping outta the gym and trying to drive home.

Yeah, I've trained in many a gym....several like that, but that atmosphere does nothing for me. I gotta be in place where I'm not the biggest or strongest....it motivates me to train around more advanced lifters/competitors.

The funniest thing in my gym was last week when this big-ol juicer dude was watching me and my partner do legs.when we were finished he came up and said"man you guys really push legs hard.I wish I could squat but I can't get my arms behind my neck to hold the bar ::)"my buddy all straight faced said"why don't you just do front squats"
now don't get me wrong he has a strong as hell upper body but he looks like an
upside down weeble wobble ;D
I mean come on Ronnie squats and this dude is to big to reach his arms behind his neck to hold the bar ::)
