freeletics, nice :D
Was working myself through nearly the complete program, but I had to stop in the 13th week since I got really busy last year.
But the whole program is a bit too hardcore for me anyways, I often barely managed to get the exercises done; which was bad because when you really struggle through an exercise, you tend to do it sloppy and not how you´re supposed to do it. And when you do your exercises in a sloppy way, you can overstress/hurt your knees, tendons or other body parts way easier (which I often did, so instead of my muscles, my tendons were hurting, which should not be)

I rather stick to some simple strength training and jogging, I don´t have to be a superman :) (although some exercises look really badass, f.e. handstand-pushups)

also, fuck burpees

fuck burpees

really? burpees? u cry over burpees and still have the audacity to call yourself a man? burpees are easy shit, youre just a teeny-tiny sissy. must be cuz ur euro


want a real fucking challenge?
lay down on your back, legs straight out, feet six inches off the ground (no more, no less)
dont bend your legs, dont sit on your hands, just keep your hands to your side

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

looks kinda like this, only keep your head and hands lying on the floor

try holding that position for 1 minute, fuck try 30 secs, i doubt youd make it past 10 secs

Thats actually really easy (well okay its not but I can do it for about 3 mintues its one of my key back exercises), you forgot the most important rule tho: You have to keep the small of your back pressed into the floor because if you let your back arch its "super easy".
Its also about 15x harder if your a women because they are missing those 2 muscles that it really works just in the pelvis area, my girlfriend cries doing for longer than a minute.

I actually just tried it and it´s exhausting, but holding it for a minute is not hard. It´s somehow like the turned around superman-pose.

Well the crossfit retardation is on a whole other level than insanity, freeletics, p90x.

Problem with crossfit is the dangerous and ineffective training method, problem with those other 3 is that they are great if you want to lose weight in a fun way, but that they are sold as if you'll get jacked from them.

I've decided to start flexing in order to make my muscles grow. Why should i have to lift stuff when i can simply strain them to the same extent. Supposedly it works, after making googlings, probably wont reach the same muscle growth as from lifting, but im guessing it can get some sort of muscle growth going, and i dont even have to leave my house.

You'll only 'train' big show muscles you know how to flex
You'll still be weak
You'll make no gains because flexing doesn't recruit nearly enough muscle fibers to have any effect in anything past an untrained slob.

If you really are too lazy to leave your house in order to get a decent body, calisthenics isn't an option either because you need the will to work for that as well.

Then i remember i dont have any opponents, and that life is good.

if you dont have enemies it means that you are doing something wrong... (deep shit)

You know what is funny? Many mammals can lift things, most apes are way better at it than humans. But delicate moves with hands, which is what we do when eating is something other animals suck at. And of course, at using their own brain.

Lifting weights is good as a hobby, something you do when you're not doing important stuff. But when you make a life of it, that is rather sad.

if you have space and you are aware of what you are doing , lift weights at home is relaxing , just put on some chill music or turn on tv and do your workout.
For cardio , use a jump rope or just go running outside.
Gym maybe is good that you have someone that suggest you what and how to do things but when you learned your exercises and the correct positions you can do it alone at home.
The downside is that you can't see dem asses that were distracting you anymore but whatever.

it's a matter of taste really... when i was 18, i wanted to gain weight etc, and now, i just want to look younger and be more fit. I don't feel like lifting anything these days - it costs money, it takes time, and worst of all - i need to be around people in a gym. Cardio keeps me in ok shape, and that's just something i can do after work on my way home - no pressure, zero costs.

freeletics, nice :D
Was working myself through nearly the complete program, but I had to stop in the 13th week since I got really busy last year.
But the whole program is a bit too hardcore for me anyways, I often barely managed to get the exercises done; which was bad because when you really struggle through an exercise, you tend to do it sloppy and not how you´re supposed to do it. And when you do your exercises in a sloppy way, you can overstress/hurt your knees, tendons or other body parts way easier (which I often did, so instead of my muscles, my tendons were hurting, which should not be)

I rather stick to some simple strength training and jogging, I don´t have to be a superman :) (although some exercises look really badass, f.e. handstand-pushups)

also, fuck burpees

I don't want to be rude but freeletics was made for people who dont have time. The workouts are only 10-15 minutes long... That excuse is pretty lame, sorry...

fast gainz. do 20 reps from 20 to 200 lbs (whatever u can handle this is just an example) then work your way back down doing increments of 20lb.

20

40

60

80

100

120

140

160

180

200

180

100

40

20

by this time the bar alone will feel like 200lbs.

Always wanted to implement parkour training but I cant find a proper location with plenty of doable obstacles without too much citylife around. Be it in a facility or outdoors.

It looks like this
(click to show/hide)

It´s partly inside a sports hall and partly outside at a parking ramp here (at the beginning more lessons inside so you get hurt less, lateron more outside so you get a feeling for different surfaces). You mostly practice how to move safely over obstacles, fall correctly, jump efficiently (and precisely, precision jumps are hard!) while using as little energy as possible. It´s a lot about momentum and technique.
Basically you can measure how good your jumps etc are depending on the noise you make: the less noise you make, the better the movement is.

Check if there are some similar sport programs around your place. If you want to try to learn it yourself, 2 things: Don´t practice on wet or slippery surfaces and always safety first when you think the next move could be risky.

fast gainz. do 20 reps from 20 to 200+ (whatever u can handle) lbs then work your way back down doing increments of 20lb.

That sounds like a good way to fatigue yourself on one workout and set yourself up for an injury.

I restarted my old workout, but we'll see how long I actually keep it up because I already work a manual labor job. The nice thing starting out with light weights again is I'm correcting all the muscular imbalances my job has accrued for me.

yea my bad, use whatever weight/increments you can handle at your own pace and work your way up to a goal. It's guaranteed to be a grueling routine but it's meant to be. It's also a good endurance/resistance exercise if you don't want to do heavier sets. I try to avoid the weight room it's supposed to be done with the intent of moving fast. I do these in between cardio and boxing a few times a week in place of pushups, pullups, medicine ball, shoulder shrugs and lateral raises.

If you have assymetric muscle strenght/agility, just add a few unilateral exercises on top of what you're doing. It will fatigue this side more so it will need more attention.

Muscle asymmetry is super common in high level athletes. Google will be more help to you than this forum I think. Even better, go to the misc forums, I'm guessing there must be info on that issue there.

Dear Bach,

Long time reader, first time writer.

I have been going gym since my posts in the other gym thread, but with it being the season of weddings + stags I haven't got into much of a routine till lately. On the odd days I could make it I'd pair up shoulders +biceps or chest + triceps or do a leg day or work the back, and would attempt to do 1 week with low reps heavy weight and 1 week with more reps and lower weight.

More recently I decided I wanted to push fitness/stamina and strength training, so have been doing (only temporarily) a strange routine of going to the gym before breakfast each morning to run and do a bit of rowing machine, then hitting the gym after work in the evening every day where possible. I've also been putting more of a focus on the types of things I eat (without being a pussy about it), and have noticed craaaaaaazy health/fitness gains.

However, I feel like I could be making more strength gains. One of my biggest issues right now is that my left side is far weaker than the right, particularly when it comes to the biceps which are by far my weakest muscle at the moment. I know i'll need to do some targeted work-outs to balance things out the left side and make it stronger. At the moment I'm training nearly every day just to see if I can, so I'm working each muscle-group individually rather than pairing shoulders with biceps for example.

Do you have any secret workouts/techniques/regiments that will give me those crazy strength gains (particularly on my weaker muscles that need a jump-start, legs and chest and back are getting notably stronger anyway). Any tips for balancing out the weaker side? Is anything I'm currently doing stupid as far as you can tell?

Dear Heskey,

 Firstly, doing cardio before breakfast is one of the best things for burning fat keep going with that. Also your training cycle, called as "bro split" is not the best way to improve your muscles. You need to pair your muscles if you want more gains and more strength if you are not a hardcore bodybuilder and not doing this sport for long years. And 1 week low weights-1 week high weights is not good. With low weights, high reps you can gain mass but with low reps and high weights you will get more stronger trust me thats what powerlifters do and they are strong as you can see. Select one of them and concentrate on it. I recommend the 2nd one it also helps burning fat too. For your asymmetry issue i recommend you to work with dumbells like dumbell presses for chest and shoulders, dumbell rows stay away from bars if its not necessary. The thing is you never isolate your muscles you always work your biceps and triceps with your muscles except legs and core. And if you want some fast muscle regeneration (by faster regen you get stronger more fast) check creatine supplement. To use it you must consume much water (like 3-3.5 litres a day) and your kidneys must be healthy because it holds water in your muscles. You will get more strong, you will less likely to be injured but you will look bulky. Not much but bulky. These are all i can say about your questions i hope it helps you.

Take care,
2Bach.

Dear Heskey,

Get stronger in compound movements - Bench, Deadlift, Squat, Chin-ups/Pull-Ups, Overheadpress and Rowing (You can do dumbell-rows, Bend-over-barbell-row or preferably a chest-supported rowing machine, where your lower back/body doesn't need to work so you can concentrate on the rowing movement only.

Do 5-8 Reps at MAX in compound movement, higher rep ranges are for isolation/assistance exercises. If you are a beginner, focus on compound movements, just do very little isolation work.

If you're capable of doing 10-12 full range of motion and slow chin-ups at ~ 90 kg bodyweight with 15 kg additional weight, believe me, you never need a single curl to have a big and strong bicep.

Don't train some stupid split if you're a beginner - do 3 full body workouts per week until you got intermediate strenght data, something like around 85 kg Bench, 115-125 kg squat and 130 Deadlift (as working weights, not 1 rep max.) It's counterproductive to split your training if you're not an intermediate lifter.

I got middle to end Intermediate/beginning of  advanced strenght standards (depending on the specific exercise) and I am still doing an alternating full body workout 3-4 times a week, or a split with 2 different workouts 4 times a week (upper/lower body).

For strenght standards I recommend this http://www.strengthstandards.co/#/ . There are different formulas on different sites, so individual strenght standards may differ a little, but thats not important.

(EDIT: You can of course do higher reps ranges for any compound movements, but as a beginner, its not necessary, or lets say, it's useless because the weight you move with higher reps, say 10-12, is way to low. So do 5-8 Reps)

Have fun!

My guess it that it will balance itself out over time, because that would be logical. But it's only a guess after all. I never noticed any (strenght) imbalances between certain body parts myself.

Title: Re: Does cRPG community lift?
Post by: Grytviken on May 17, 2016, 07:19:25 pm
Heskey try overhead arm raises while cherry picking and side lateral raises and shoulder shrugs with dumbbells. These will force your weaker arm to do more work and also work your neck. The only thing worse than having chicken legs is having a chicken neck. Nothing looks worse than having big strong shoulders and a chicken neck, way worse than arm asymmetry probs. 
Title: Re: Does cRPG community lift?
Post by: JennaHaze on May 17, 2016, 07:27:52 pm
Dear Bach,

Thank you for your reply.

The alternating weeks was part of my old routine and has already been scrapped, now I am just focusing on strength.

For pairing muscles, which groups would you recommend? Typically I'd always do legs on their own cos I guess you're doing multiple muscles in there anyway, so I assume that's correct.

Cheers,
Heskey

Dear Heskey,
 
 I recommend pairing chest+biceps, shoulders+triceps and back+legs if you want you can split back and legs but i train them together to earn a cheat meal :P because they are the largest muscle groups of your body. warlord is right about compound moves i agree with him. and i want to add farmer's walk which is a cool exercise which strengthens your grip too.

Sincerely,
2Bach.

Post by: Vibe on May 17, 2016, 07:55:17 pm
Defo wanna improve grip so i'll have a look at farmer's walk.

I wanted to start doing farmer's walk and wrist curls for my grip but switched the normal deadlift to stiff leg deadlift where I don't drop the bar between reps, so you're basically doing farmer's walk while you're also doing stiff-leg deadlift and I find it great for that. Burns my arms a whole fuckton.

Sorry to be the know-it-all, but that's a romanian deadlift then. On the Stiff legged deadlift every rep starts from the ground just like on the conventional.

Also we need to have at least 2 votes on the poll, I do bodybuilding and powerlifting, or at least I try to take the best out of both worlds. I train more powerlifting-ish for 3-4 months, then more bodybuilding-ish, and so on. It's great to always maintain good strenght standards, while still getting shredded at least for some time per year.

Wich does more then a workout will ever do.

Healthy chemical balance
It makes me glow, cause of collagen
It gives me an overall better workout.. then going to the gym, several positions in 25 minutes.
Beats despressive feelings and stress
And it makes me even more attractive then i already am.
It makes me more attractive to the opposite sex.
And two people profit and enjoy from it at the same time.

Going to a gym, and having lonely "workouts" with some machines, nobs and dumbells... would make me feel very miserable and despressed. Cant imaging someone living a proper natural and fulfilled life, needs to seek outside sources and go out of his/her way to keep in shape.

Welp, didn't know that. Guess I'm doing romanians then. My program originally says that I should be doing stiff-legged but I'm having a hard time stretching all the way down with arms + since it's also a grip exercise, I prefer romanians.

That being said, I also loved doing normal deadlifts, but with weight increases it plateaued (what a word) because of my shit grip.

Yeah, I really didn't know the exact difference between the deadlift variations until I spent like 4 hours ONLY on reading about the deadlift and watching british, american and german powerlifting and bodybuilding videos haha.

There even is a minority that believes stiff legged deadlift and romanian is the same exercise and some that even believe you never set the weight down on the floor after each rep on every deadlift exercise. But those people are simply wrong. The consensus is what I said.

For grip strenght: Try the mixed grip, it works! I never dared to try it for a long time because of stories about a torn bicep on the supinated hand/arm. But that's bullshit. Only with heavy ass weights (like from 200 kg +,) not enough flexibility and not warming up enough.

I used straps from like 130 kg, because I couldn't handle them with normal double overhand grip, but my back was WAY stronger (you feel and know that with some experience). So I used straps until 160 kg. And then some guy said: Use the mixed grip bro. I thought: Oh god, you will fail so hard to move the weight any cm up without straps now. And then, it felt like nothing using the mixed grip. 160 kg felt like about 100 kg with the mixed grip.  :wink:

I was doing normal deadlifts for a pretty long time now, and I start to do another bodybuilding bulking routine again from this week on, so I will do heavy ass powerlifitng style squats (low bar) but stiff legged deadlift (which comes with alot less weight naturally then normal deadlift) to give my tormented lower back some rest.
Conventional deadlift is one of my favorite exercises, but if you don't need strenght that goes beyond a very good basic strenght, so to say, if you are a bodybuilder or just want to build muscle, there is no need to always do conventional deadlifts. It's THE exercise for strenght, but for sure not THE exercise for building (alot of) muscle mass.

Yeah, I did try a mixed grip, it helped a lot already, but it was still limiting my DL. Back felt like it could lift a lot more, but the grip just couldn't keep holding the bar. Then again I am doing a bodybuilding routine (a variation of All Pro, I'm guessing you know about it), so I'm not too bothered with not progressing my normal DL. I will work on it when I decide to build some strength again.

To be honest I never heard of All Pro, but after checking it out, it seems to be exactly what I mentioned.
3 full-body workouts per week consisting almost solely of compound movements, correct?

Pretty much all good beginner schemes are like that. Anyone telling beginners they should do a split training has no clue. Splitting is for highly advanced/and/or athletes on juice. There is no reason ever for a natural hobby athlete to go beyond a 2day split and do more than 3-4 sessions per week.  8-)
