BG Fitness Fanatics II: We Work Out

[thetruepandagod]

oh god someone actually knows that progress entails a before and after. I'm shaking with pride and filled with tears of joy.

gj nigga, work dem forearms doe

Spoiler: show

Seein as how ur a gayboi forearm work should be no problem, mirite ey ey ey.

[Cadsuane]

Also how do you even get back into running? I get winded looking at people running, despite being in reasonably good physical shape. I've thought about going to a track or around the lake or something but I feel like I'm gonna end up on the side of the road gasping for breath after 30s. Suggestions?

Do you really need to get into running? It's kind of mainly for joyless masochists, and it sounds like there are activities that might be more pleasant for you considering your foot issues.

what else should I do for forearms? I do reverse curls, chinups and a buttload of other curls. I did fuck up my wrist/forearm late 2015. Since then I havn't been pushing it as much when that starts to bother me

[thetruepandagod]

Farmers walks.

[Hushigoshi]

jerk it with both hands.

Farmer walks, deadhangs, towel pullups, static holds/rack pulls, heavy rows, and playing with your CoC.

Good DIY options also include making a rice bucket (really neat option for wrist/forearm rehab) and a wrist roller (pvc pipe or wood rod with a rope tied on and the other end on a plate).

I had pretty joocy forearms ~5 years ago when I was actively swinging around a Stihl 440 chainsaw all day in the woods. Only ~20 lbs but deer lord the weight displacement is hilarious. In fact out of my 10 years of wildland firefighting only three people have successfully claimed my $100 offer to anyone that can pick the saw from the tip resting on the ground and swing to the overhead position with one hand on the trigger handle.

[Koul]

jerk it with both hands.

I'm not big enough sadly and I usually prefer to choke on things instead of using my hands to aid the situation. Know what I'm sayin'

I'll add deadhangs and towel pullups to my routine, yeehaw

[Botosi]

Here's my progress:

Awesome man! That's some serious progress in ~3 years. Keep it up!

[Botosi]

Been training 6 days a week doing weight lifting and calisthenics. Trying to train to be good enough for American ninja warrior and I'm definitely getting there. People at the gym keep coming up to me cause I can do crazy shit nobody else can or even attempts to do. Will be making an application video for next season. Anyways here's my gainz:
Sorry if large, no idea how big these pics are.

Edit: holy shit it's large

June 2013:

When i just started working out. Around 132 lbs.




A few days ago. I hate my flexing face.... 155 lbs trying desperately to get to 170.

[Botosi]

Honestly I'm a little tipsy and it's 5am so I'm gonna use this to vent a little. Really can relate to CS lately. Been striking out with girls and my confidence has been going down the shitter. Been working out because I feel like if I gain 15 lbs I'll magically be able to get girls again. Delusional yes, but it's been making me work out harder....Idk man whatever

[Darlantan]

I firmly believe my bones are 10-20% dark matter. I'm about 185-190 in this photo from 10 months ago for reference and I felt pretty spry. Again, I'm 5'8"; really have no idea where it goes. Should go to one of those body composition testing places just in case I'm part Na'vi.

Yeah, its interesting you weight that much, dont look it at all. I am 5'9" and while I realise I got a debrisbody there is no way you look 40 lbs heavier than me.

@Koul: Very nice progress!

Quite impressive! Keep it up and keep us posted. Worry less about girls and they will go your way, just dont sweat it too much.

I liked this blog during a long single spell that lasted until a year or so ago

[thetruepandagod]

Women are gains goblins, when will ya'll learn.

[Koul]

Botosi, did you just eat non-stop to get them GAINZ?

You're probably striking out because you're thinking about it too much. Go back to being aloof

[Wulfgang]

Once I trim back a few, I'll do a full collage on some before and afters. The worst is so damn embarrassing even today. Ballooned to 235 while working ~85-90 hours a week in i-banking and hadn't done a single iota of physical activity in like 18 months; just so...so bad. Looked at the photo last night and immediately lit my monitor on fire.

And holy shit, nice Botosi.

[Airenn]

I have no idea what this means, but if you mean womens like when men take care of their health, fitness, and exhibit a form resembling adonis, then yes... yes we are gains goblins.


As for @Botosi, I'm sorry to hear that. BG is having problems with women lately and I really wish I could smack some sense into the girls you're talking to. Many of are ya'll are not only physically fit to an extraordinary degree, but aesthetically actually good looking as well. Ya'll are some attractive mother fuckers and (usually) pretty chill on here so it makes me mad you're having confidence issues and shit.

Girls like gains but then they hate the time you spend keeping them and kill your gains

[thetruepandagod]

lawdy i thought botosoi only posted the first pic and was wondering why everyone was being nice.

A pure impediment to gains related activities.

Ahhh, not gonna lie, Pre-Pax I was getting kinda annoyed that AoE was cutting into the hours I typically went to the gym. Cause of the time diff/jobs it was the only time we could really talk.

So, I get it, too.

Worked out a better system now, cause I really wanted to go back to goals for fitness.

[thetruepandagod]

My female friend was putting sticks of butter into my other friends meals so he wouldn't leave her. It's more than just gym time fam, they are literally gains goblins and a detriment more often than not.
