Rawn if you communate 6 hours a day then work almost 10 I think you said how the fuck do you find time to work out? You on some hard core p.e.d.s ?

Also since your nose gets to work 10 minutes before you does your boss count that as present or can you still be late if the rest of you isn't their on time?


One of those questions is serious

I said earlier I've been taking off for the past week for the job to get my feet on the ground

but I sleep like 4 hrs sometimes 6 if I'm lucky (which sucks for lifting I already know but I got insomnia to a degree ne ways)

Also I sometimes fall out on the train or bus so I get some Zzz intermittently

n the gyms on my commute home from work

n my nose at one point helped fuel my schedule but I had to let the septum breathe so now it helps me save money as opposed to spend

also increases my intake of air so it counteracts the smoking

I need the motivation to get back ... 12th grade year a put up 365 but in college they wouldn't let me lift heavy because of baseball/pitching

Use to beast on the squats too ...

I'm a big guy though always have been in high school I was 6'1" between 220-230 tjink I dropped below 215 wrestling senior year but separated my shoulder at a tri meet last week before counties

After I tore my rotator cuff pitching in college and quit I started running for distance and was below 200lbs for like a year lost mad bulk muscle but was lean as hell .. then I tore my acl playing a pick game have had it reconstructed twice once with a cadaver this last time in sept they used ky hamstring if it happens again they gonna have to split my knee cap and 3 surgeries all together I sit around 275 ( nattering how big my morning deuce was ) ... with my wife's scheschedule my schedule the baby and all that I just find it hard to even think about shit

Hell i ordered insanity 2 months sgo and it hasn't touched the bluray player smdh lol

Word

I tore my rotator n labrum playin baseball

did resistance bands forever tryna heal it
sht ain't 100 but it's gotten better n as long as I focus on form I'm good n it actually Nags me less bc of supporting muscle
gotta stretch tho... Key imo

but ya I wrestled in hs n played fb
I got sick like 5 years back like laid up on the hospital for months sick... Liquid diet sick.. Had to g et surgery n sht via second opinion
lost mad mass
But I'm at the weight now that I was before
so I'm good

slightly off topic

what do you guys think of that Insanity workout tape

seems like very high impact and overtraining to me

garbage.

I like to lift weights, D

Damn when I was at my peak... I weighed about 170-175 and was maxing out at about 215. Which isn't much but this was no anabolics or any type of foreign chemicals being introduced to my body. Unless you count pre-workouts and protein.

I could also do sets of pull ups with body weight and increase weight by increments of 5lbs till I was finishing with a 25lb plate wrapped around my waste and finishing with 10 of those. Back was jacked, son!

Now I just run and get a work out when I can. I can run up to 13 miles without stopping. Well, last long run was about 6 but I'll be getting a 8-10 miler in soon. I have to he ready for a marathon in January. 26.2 kids! See y'all at the finish line..

B: ~250lbs
Squat/Deadlift is weak right now b/c I broke my foot and only been walking for 2 months now. Working back up.

Not aiming for strength right now, mainly bodybuilding

i will never understand the appeal of high repetition bodybuilding style lifting unless you are competing. creates hell on the joints and ligaments for (relative to powerlifting) nonfunctional strength.

if you want to have 0% bf-type appeal, cardio, cardio, cardio. at least you'll be able to walk in your 50s.

I don't think that makes any sense.

You have never heard of a repetitive stress injury?

I have not.

Given that they are far more common than traumatic injuries, you should.

You can ask my right shoulder all about them. Shoulder impingements resulting in arthroscopic surgery are a great time.

You never really understand how much you use a body part until you seriously hurt it

Diode you don't see the appeal of BB style training? I think you're being pedantic or overly dogmatic.

Just got back to the gym yesterday after a couple months of being a lazy slob and it wasn't pretty. Bench strength was ok but still disappointing. Squats and pullups were embarrassing.

Perhaps I should clarify

I understand the aesthetic value but don't feel the risk is worth it. I am assuming the dedicated 5d/w 2h+/d isolation only exercise approach at 15-20 reps a piece. It is a recipe for disaster as you age. I know no teenager or 20 something will care because they are all invincible.. but from a pragmatic standpoint, that type of lifting is way more harmful in the long run.

Don't even get me started on the quantity over form nonsense that is Crossfit..

Obviously this has nothing to do with models and competitors or physical freaks who can do it all like Jay Cutler or Rhino etc.

But nobody here is one of those dudes nor will they be.

Nor will anyone on here break powerlifting records. Your point is silly pants.

Some people want to lift for aesthetics.
Some people want to life for strength.

Neither is wrong, both have inherent risks. Leave Cashius alone he's sensitive.
