The Weightlifters Thread

[milohimself]

I was doing 85x10, three sets then hit failure at the eighth rep on the fourth. Probably more reps than I should be doing if I'm trying to get strength back, but I know I'll be back up around 225, and day to day I like being 200. I just really need to work in a good diet and more cardio, and with school starting for me in about eight hours that should help keep down the drinking.

My triceps already feel rocked. Holy hell.

I've been hanging pretty consistently at 200 for a while now, give or take a few pounds depending in the day. If I could get to a pretty solid 215 I'd be happy. School makes it pretty tough to stay on top of my diet and some days I just feel drained afterwards.

 

[milohimself]

No joke. I have a 12 hour day tomorrow. 7:30-7:30

Did chest yesturday. Week 4 of my schedule, and I've already increased my weight during my sets by 10lbs. Feels good man. I have legs today, and I may do the same.

I have started working early in the A.M. before work, I feel like I have such better workouts.

My diet and supplements are pulling a double shift.

I was sore immediately following my workout, this morning I feel great and still have a pump going.

I love it. The gym is pretty much empty and I feel good the rest of the day

Testosterone levels are higher in the morning.

Morning woodage.

Fuark, squatted then front squatted this morning. The next day or two will be awful.

The stairs at school are pretty rough for me as well.

Legs day!

 

[OtterFH]

Legs day!

Go hard or go home brah. Give it everything you got.

Oatmeal and egg whites have digested, did some yoga for about 30 minutes. Time to get some

 

[OtterFH]

Back day for me.

 

[milohimself]

Solid workout but I remembered why I don't work out in the middle of the day. Damn.

 

[bamacheats]

I killed it at the gym today. Freakin exhausted now though. I was particularly strong on my back workout today.

 

[Thrasher865]

Killer back workout today. Deadlifts.... GRRRRR

Deadlifts in the morning, can't wait! I honestly never see anyone at my gym morning or night deadlift.

 

[Thrasher865]

I've only ever seen one other person in my gym deadlift, and it was a chick. Hot, too.

Yeah, mine too. She works out in the mornings. She's jacked - not my type - but still hot IMO

 

[Thrasher865]

I guess I've gotta quit deadlifting, then. Apparently it's a chick exercise, and I don't want to get made fun of any more than I already do at the gym.

I had been doing arms on their own day, so I would do chest, back, legs and then arms. I wound up skipping arms day for about the past month and a half, just figuring that I got enough on the other days. Is this a bad idea? Am I missing out on strength/size gains?

This week, I just did push/pull, so I basically did the same thing, but added bis to back and tris to chest day. I didn't notice any strength loss over the last month and a half.
