[beef] ATTN: Dudes that lift[views:25985][posts:118]_________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 12:29pm - xmikex ""] What kind of lifting gloves do you use? I had a pair of cheapo Harbinger ones that I got for like $10 at the Sports Authority. They got the job done I guess. I lost them recently, and it's a total pain in the ass to do things like bent over rows and deadlifts without them. Any endorsements? |

The best thing to use is your bare hands. Seriously.... It will help your grip strength and your forearm strength. Do all movements without wraps or gloves, in the end you will thank me. Chalk is cool if your a naturally sweat dude, helps the grip from slipping. |

When don't use gloves, and I do pulling exercises like I mentioned above, I feel like I have more trouble getting all my reps in because my hands cramp up. Would you recommend dropping 5-10 lbs until my grip strengthens? I've been going for strength rather than muscle gains, and concentrating on lifting as much as possible in a small amount of reps. So it'd kind of suck to drop any weight. But then again I have been trying to work on my grip. |

Dont worry about what the weight it, it only sucks in your head because you are used to doing that weight. You will be way better off getting your grip stronger in the long run. Pyramid workouts may even be better for you to gain strength that you are looking for. |

It seems like a lot of the times, I rule through reps 1-8 and then 9/10, I lose all power. Muscle exhaustion is natural. You get tired at the end of your work day right? Same thing with your muscles. Experiment with different programs. Depending on how much you're lifting, how many sets etc. 10 reps might be a lot for you. And as far as protein and eating, the answer is constantly. If I'm going to do a lot of lifting I'll drink Whey protein a half hour before I goto the gym, 5 ml of creatine serum right before I leave, another glass of Whey protein as soon as I get home, and a glass of muscle milk before bed. Cardio helps move all that stuff through your system. |

Last time I added this http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Artic...4718026/preacher-curl-main_Full.jpg which I will probably do from now on. And if the weight room is empty... I take the 15lbs padded bar and spin it around from left hand to right hand. sounds gay, but it makes my shoulders burn like crazy. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 1:42pm - the_reverend ""] I used to do creatine... and it might be in my head, but I recovered much quicker, but the stuff that I have sucks. it's like drinking silica packets. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 1:46pm - SapremiaNJ ""] Creatine is not in your head Rev, it works great. Helps build muscle and strength and aids tremendously in recovery. I stack it with glutamine and take the sufficient aminos and potassium needed as well. I love Cell Tech, the cherry flavor tastes pretty decent. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 1:47pm - SapremiaNJ ""] Oh, and all that is needed is 5 grams daily. They will tell you to load and use 10 grams, but studies show that is wasteful and provide no extra gains over a normal 5 gram/day dosage. Three months on, two months off.... |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 1:54pm - the_reverend ""] So.. I try to do the above routine just once a week (either sunday or tuesday). Then when I go to the gym the other days, I try to not to as much weight. less weight, more reps and I try to spend longer on the rower and in the pool, but I always get bored and then end up just following the routine I have above. I have a feeling this tuesday, my back is going to hurt too much, but I will be there. all that stuff above is 20 minutes rowing, 1.5hr in the weights, and then 30 minutes in the pool/hot tub. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 2:14pm - largefreakatzero ""] Sorry dude, but lifting gloves are for girls. I went bare hand until tendonitis got too bad -- now I use wrist wraps which work quite well and will keep you from getting laughed out of the gym. This is the only creatine worth a shit: http://www.proteinpowderplus.com/servlet/t...40/Kre-Alkalyn-Infusion-16oz/Detail |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 2:17pm - largefreakatzero ""] Rev & Mike, try mixing up your bench press workout with some "pause-presses" powerlifting style. Bring the bar down, rest on your chest for a couple seconds, then press. It can be quite humbling but will build power. Sapremia dude will know what I mean. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 2:22pm - W3 @ work ""] man my work out sucks lol i run for 30 mins and then do 3 different weight machines |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 2:25pm - SapremiaNJ ""] I surely do, very tough. Especially if you do them as negatives and as heavy as you can, train that way when i used to do bench contests. I didnt want to get too technical on them and such. Figuring they are at the building the muscle stage and what not. Cell Tech creatine always works for me, Muscletech products have be good to me altogether. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 2:38pm - the_reverend ""] my problem with stuff like that is checking to see if there are animal products in it. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 2:39pm - largefreakatzero ""] Yeah, the pause-presses humbled me pretty good -- I went from "cheat-pressing" (a healthy chest-bounce) close to 365 for 1 to struggling with 315 on a press that would be good in a meet. I weigh in at 250, so my meager 315 bench will not do shit in a meet -- a guy from my gym just did 440 raw at a meet and he weighed in @ 219! I probably mispoke on the creatine -- the powders do work, but with the Sci-fit Infusion, you are only taking a small amount rather than having to mix and chug a glass of that foul-tasting shit. You can actually feel the Infusion stuff hit you right after you take it, which is pretty cool. I will go on a cycle of that next week probably. |

I've got super long skinny arms so I won't be touching anywhere near the weight you two zoo animals have been pressing, but I'm looking forward to trying out some new stuff. If anyone (who doesn't bench 400+) is looking for a humbling weight circuit give this a shot: http://buildingbodies.ca/exercise/randy-co...uture-workout-for-mma-conditioning/ It's a routine that Randy Couture developed. It's: 8 bent over rows 8 upright rows 8 military presses 8 good mornings 8 split squats right 8 split squats left 8 squats with a push press 8 straight leg deadlifts You do them with light weight. The premise here isn't huge lifts, but getting all your reps in at a steady pace, and you don't put the bar down until all the exercises are done. 3-6 sets (6 or you're a pussy) 60 seconds rest in between. Pray to God you land on something soft when you pass out. |

Don't use gloves or belts. ok your diet was conceptually pretty good but what were your training habits like? what protein and suppliments were you taking? how many days rest? 3k cals is a solid idea and the general rule of thumb for protein is grams = lbs. example: if you weigh 200 lbs you need 200 grams. 250 lbs = 250 grams etc. the optimum nutrition gainer is excellent. 600 cals and 60 grams of protein (cassein, whey and egg) in one scoop. very light, not to milky. |

After hurting my lower back I continued trying to lift heavy but I just don't have the body type for it. My shoulders ached and my knees creeked (27 going on 80?). Now I focus on conditioning and stamina. Also, I pretty much eliminated weights from my routine and use resistance bands. Like I said, my joints hurt mercilessly if I lift heavy and the bands don't provoke the slamming of joints like weights. |

Personally, I'm always changing what I do a little and I like some of the results so far. I've got more muscles than ever and 3 days after I left, I feel like heman (cause I'm not sore anymore). The 3 weeks before I went to florida, I was going 3-4 times a week for 3hrs typically. I was starting to see abs for the first time since I was 4. |

No static stretching, no silly fucking yoga or arobics. I do this on an eliptical, actual running takes it's toll on my knees. steadily jogging is the best thing you can do for your muscles. all my weight lifting is done AFTER grappling and everything is low weight, high rep. I've lost almost 50 lbs doing this, haven't had to change my diet or worry about buying all this crazy shit from GNC. I've added decent size and cut to my muscles, and I'm still one of the most flexible people you could immagine. I'm talking over head armbar from standing possition withough needing to jump. |

I see all of them doing static stretches and lifting as a warmup before thier workouts and it's ruining thier flexibility and actually effecting what they can lift. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 7:55pm - the_reverend ""] I really really really need to learn to do stretches before hand. it's like my kryptonite. If I swallow my semen every day for a month, you think that would do anything? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 8:04pm - niccolai ""] just be careful about what stretches you're doing. I would consider switching your swimming to before your workout rev. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/sports/p...ine/112pewarm.html?_r=3&oref=slogin stretching you're muscles doesn't haveto mean literally straining them. you just want to improve blood flow to them without causing the trauma that static stretching causes (which decreases your lifting ability) |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 8:04pm - niccolai ""] swallowing semen is ALWAYS beneficial. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 8:19pm - the_reverend ""] that's what I try to tell "someone" and she doesn't listen to me. there is no possible way or swimming first. since I have to shower after. It would be like working out with a gallon of bleach on your clothing. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 8:23pm - niccolai ""] I never do static stretches. I jog or swim and I'm more flexible then any dude grabbing his toes and trying to toutch his elbows behind his back. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 8:26pm - Coma nli ""] I don't know how any of you can talk about mixing all these distinct workouts into a workout plan, stretches do not belong on a bill with bench presses; so not fucking grindcore. I'd rather get smaller results than add random exercises that don't fit. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 8:33pm - niccolai ""] Coma%20nli said:stretches do not belong on a bill with bench presses; so not fucking grindcore. I disagree. improving bloodflow to your muscles is crucial before seemingly unrelated things like bench pressing. it's important to me to retain my flexability as I tone my muscles, and it's important for me to be able to hit the bench at full strength and retain strenth after a weight session. they might not be important to you if you're just a body builder, but I'm not. body builders tear realll easy. |

| ________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 9:53pm - xmikex ""] I'm very glad that this thread spiraled way the hell off topic. It's been very informative so far. As far as stretching is concerned I prefer quick static stretching followed by 5-10 minutes of jumping rope. I carry a lot of stress in my back, my neck, and in my legs and I sometimes get neck pains if I don't stretch decently before going into any cardio. I'm glad that grappling was brought up. As much as I kind of hate grappling it's an amazing exercise. I had some pretty noticeable separation in my chest muscles after only a few months of grappling. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 16,2009 10:08pm - the_reverend ""] grappling like wrestling? I can't do any sit ups at all cause I feel like puking. not sure what to do at the gym tomorrow cause my back is tweeked. |

Your warm up is just the most important thing before you work out. to me it's more important then my diet, my weight load, etc. and to get back on topic, for christ's sake, wrap your damn hands. I dont care how gay it looks or un natural it feels. You work out to be healthy... so you should work out with whatever tools will avoid injury and jeapordize said health. Your joints and flexability are way more important than your muscles (for fighting any way) and if you don't take care of those two things, you're going to have a hard time molesting your grandkids when you're 68. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 9:30am - the_reverend ""] almost all the things that I said "lat" in my routine are really triceps and I just have no clue. I went again last night with my back still hurting. Did 20 minutes of rowing, 40-ish doing weights that didn't hurt my back and then swam for 15 minutes or so. I felt so much better last night, but this morning... ugh! |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 9:34am - largefreakatzero ""] Go to the chiropractor and take a break from weights, dude. If you have a vertabrae out or if you've pulled a muscle in your back, you are only going to make it worse. Stick to cardio and swimming until your back heals. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 9:38am - the_reverend ""] It's from "scooting" back down in the chair with 180lbs. I know it. Just a pulled muscle. Tonight, I'm going to do all cardio. When I just stop going after tweeking it like this, I get wicked bad back cramps. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 9:39am - the_reverend ""] http://www.amazon.com/Cell-Tech-Hardcore-F...-6-7/dp/B000KGD8NU/ref=pd_sim_hpc_6 I looked at that celltech stuff. gives a lot of the reviewers the runs. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 9:48am - SapremiaNJ ""] I never had no runs with it.... BUT, i bet you that they were doing it as the label reads. They all did the loading phase (b.s.) and they all used two scoops/10 grams (only needs 5!). So basically, the manufacturor is trying to make people use more than needed to sell more. If you try it, just start with one scoop (5 grams) after a workout and stay that way for three months. And YES, you must take it on off days as well. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 9:51am - the_reverend ""] you take it after your work out? I thought you were suppose to take creatine before. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 10:12am - xmikex ""] I'm not sure how this particular supplement works, but if your body isn't used to them you might run into some stomach issues at first. The first time I ever took Muscle Milk I woke up in the middle of the night to take the single most terrifying shit of my entire life. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 10:20am - largefreakatzero ""] He's right about the "loading" phase -- that's a bunch of crap. I just started a cycle yesterday on the Sci-Fit Liquid Creatine Infusion (see my other post). I take it right before I lift, but it probably doesn't really matter. What's good about this stuff is you only take a little bit -- granted it's still foul, but it's like taking cough syrup. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 10:20am - W3 @ work ""] damn im glad i just read that cause i wanted to try one of those, trader joes doesnt have banilla out here and muscle milk has one of those. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 10:31am - SapremiaNJ ""] Creatine is best post workout, check out the University of Arizona studies on Creatine. The thing with Cell Tech is that is causes a brief insulin spike so that the body sweeps up everything in your stomach (i.e. the creatine) and puts it to use right away. That is why a proper amount of potassium is to be taken at the same time to help bring your body levels back to norm. Creatine is best to recover and repair damaged muscle, when do you need recovery and when is your muscle damaged, after the workout. Enjoy! |

I got it in place with in 15 minutes which was good. Then I went to the gym and ran out of time. 15 minutes rowing 10 minutes lifting (curls, tricep press, and tricep extensions) 10 minutes swimming 10 minutes in hot tub then I showered when the black guy at my gym. I keep wanting to call him barack. |
