[Xylosian 140]

I'm curious as to how he fell onto the tracks. Didn't he race the train parallel to said track?

He lost his footing while running, tripped onto the train tracks and was struck by the train instantly killing him. Or so they say.

Let's hope that he wasn't on the bloody tracks to begin with.

XD XD. It's exactly what I said to a friend at the instant. The "normal" people. If only they knew...

 

About the quad, no secret. Heavy squats / press in 12 reps with some explosive jumbs, body squat of fents. It's the hell, but very effective.

 

For me, the bulgar method is the most effective in my results. 

 

 Legs :

 

749,572 ibs in the press x 10 / jumps to the end of my possibilities x 3

 

264,555 Ibs in the squat x 12 / Fents to the end of my possibilities x3

396,832 Ibs In the calf work x 20 / Very small jumps x 4

 

Time of rest : 1 min.

 

Fast but effective.

It's a small exemple. 

 

 

Yea, totally, the patience. About me,  One years and a half to train like a fighter style and the global weight loss. Heart beating go at 60 / min to 40 / min. In the middle, a "rest during several weeks". And the last year, strengh / volume to the hell.

 

It takes years, but you will see it work if you do the right things. I'm sure you can do it .

Squat Jumps make for some killer calves and quads.

Let's hope that he wasn't on the bloody tracks to begin with.

I believe he was near the tracks.

Ugh, I hardly even have bodies like you. I'm 5'11" and around 170-175 lbs (15-20 age range) but I am terrible at chest and biceps and much better at legs and back. (On another note I can't really see myself with a buff body anyway so it isn't that bad.)

 

School gets in the way at times sadly, so only two times in the gym per week. Don't really plan meals very hard besides eating early and staying away from certain foods. I actually have some interest in joining the military but I think the only good thing I've got for me physically is being an above average runner. XD

I recently went from machines/freeweights back to the good old 1 mile run + push-ups + sit-ups + pull-ups

 

Been doing the "fight 'till you drop" approach in which I do 1 set of push-ups, sit-ups,- and pull-ups all at once (each being to the point of exhaustion instead of a definite number) before taking a break, usually repeating three times.

 

Considering only 4% of my body is fat and I have a static metabolism of "off scale" (the machine can't measure my specific static metabolism rate, capping at 1571 Cal), I need 4000 Cal to have any hope of gaining significant mass (at least according to my cousin). What currently happens is my muscle gets denser, and denser, and denser, and denser, but not bigger.

 

I'm 6'1", currently 150 lbs.

 

Should I upload a pic of my current status? Not very sure about it.

4% Bodyfat? I don't think that's right. You should add lunges to that routine makes for some good legs. I don't like cardio at all seems like a waste of time honestly. For cardio I just HIT Conditioning does it's job in terms of cardio.

You should do barbell presses on a smith machine for a month. This exercise  will turn any wimpy/bird chest into a built championship chest. For arms you can try tricep extensions, abundance curls, and baseball curls. These are great exercises for building strong biceps and arms.

Thanks. Sadly, I got the responses from recruiters recently and it turns out that because I have asthma (and a recorded asthma attacks some months ago) I can't enter the military. Guess I'll end up going to a regular university, though I'm not going to stop lifting because of that.

I hope you'll have your inhaler handy while working out, since your muscles need the oxygen during weightlifting there's a lot of breathing involved but I bet you knew that already.

It is according to that whatever body composition machine I got hooked up to in a gym, so yes I would agree that the result is questionable. My legs are actually very decent thanks to several years of fencing I used to do, at least compared to my upper body.

 

Would have to disagree on cardio though. Maybe it might not help on powerlifting/weightlifting as much but having good cardio in my opinion is just as important. After all, running a consistent mile or two without wheezing out is just as beneficial as being able to lift a good few hundred pounds.

I'm currently cutting, so most of my training is a mixture of weight lifting and HIIT, mainly rowing, cycling, running etc. My only means for transportation is my trusty bike, which is a great method for a warm up before I arrive at the gym.

 

7 days a week, 30 minutes HIIT in the morning and 45 in the evening - I weight train Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, usually I mix in calisthenics.

 

.. and then one cheat meal a week, of course - I usually go for a burger 

 

In terms of my diet, I just usually go the cave man style diet - lots of meat and raw vegetables, almonds, good fats (avocado fx) etc. Whole grain bread instead of white. And then water - lots and lots of water.

That's one hell of a regimen, I'm sure you'll become a lean machine in no time!

[Solid Snake 282]

Yeah I joined a fitness club because my job made me lose a lot of muscle. I'm not interested in getting huge, just to get my muscle endurance back. I used to able to do 100 pushups straight, now I can't even do 15.

[Not_active 732]

Some recent pictures of me. Nothing TOO impressive, since I've only been doing this for half a year, but meh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, you're a lot bulkier than me. .o.

I'd say that's impressive, I've been lifting for 2 years and I still haven't reached the level you're at.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I used to lift weights, but I've stopped because I can't find the motivation to do it anymore.

[Splashee 28,564]

Once a day. Just a little

 

Just have to be more careful about my back

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I lift light weights every now and then. I’d like to go on to slightly heavier stuff in the future. I don’t wanna be a bodybuilder or anything but having a little muscle tone (more than I have right now anyway) would be nice.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

UwU strongbros I don't even lift bro. Wouldn't some strongbros just do it for me ùwú. I do a lot of cardio my friends and sometimes I do a little lifting of the weights yes. Though I used to like it I don't really weightlift much though, I try to lift what I can not something I can't you know. So I don't know I guess is a no really, I could though if I wanted to.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

I did weightlifting every year in highschool, and I would really like to get back into it when I can. Helped a lot with easing stress.

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

I wish I could but I don’t.

[daviddaviddavid 776]

I lift weights most days, I find it's great for reducing stress. I don't train for size/aesthetics specifically, more just for general fitness
