For BG fitness fanatics, a question..

[Meat]

you have the same problems i do, long arms, strong shoulders and tri's.

AND WTF at 410dl, didn't you just start deadlifting like a few months ago?

[richardd]

have you done decline dumbell presses? i been thinking about trying it lol

AND WTF at 410dl, didn't you just start deadlifting like a few months ago?

i hurt my elbow joints when lifting too heavy on barbell curls. so for about 1 month, i did deadlifts and squats at least 2x a week with more than 2 days recovery in between, with some upperbody on the side. anything that didnt really fuck with my elbows like pushups and shit. even with 1200 mg's of omega 3's it took like 6 weeks to fully heal

[Meat]

there's only like 2-3 moments that i feel on my chest, mainly dumbbell inclines and flat and a hammer strength machine or 2. i spent all that time heavy benching only to tweak my elbows\shoulders and under develop my chest.

and nice 1\4 inch is A LOT to put on your arms, fuck man an 1inch in a year is considered tremendous so take that for what it's worth. and once you add the no-xplode or superpump or whatever that's just going to blow them up that much more.

[Weiing]

Damnnnnnnnn. Good job Rich!!!!! Yeah, gaining muscle isn't easy, but sure is easier for guys. Stop posting pictures...making me jealous. I want your genes and I kinda wish I could have the testosterone you guys have to be able to cut and bulk/build easier.

[richardd]

Consumer reports found high levels of metals in Myoplex and Muscle Milk. The numbers they show are from 3 servings, so hopefully I'm ok with one Myoplex shake a day...

from: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/m...rink/index.htm

Gonna try to find the magazine and read the whole article tomorrow.

You know those levels are in MICROgrams, right? Per 3 servings, no less.

LD50 Arsenic: 1mg/kg/day
LD50 Cadmium: 890 mg/kg/day (mouse)

I think they are over-exaggerating the amounts just a little bit.

But while we're talking about it, did you know the average background radiation globally will dose a human on the levels of 2.4 millisieverts annually? OMG WE'RE ALL BEING EXPOSED TO RADIATION

today i did mostly back. i did 2 sets of deadlifts at 410 lbs and than 2 sets and lower weight at LA fitness along with the pullups/pulldowns and the bb rows. but i finished up my sets at my dad's studio with cable rows and more pullups lol. my workout is very similiar to jan's. that man has helped me tremendously lol

damn you all your big muscle. I'm currently more focusing on losing my abs fat, feels like I had to stop building muscle but only maintain it in order to lose fat more efficiently. Abdominal/waist reduce from 32.5 inch to 29.75 (measured this morning) after 2 and half months. Hopefully can constantly reduce quarter inch for every 2 to 3 weeks until i get to 29 or under, else all the packs won't show up all the time.

But I don't plan to get my muscle to be as big as yours. Most likely I will try to build them up to like Pacquiao, due to my body size >.>

[Lucavi]

Holy shit rich, your arms and shoulders look like mine! I'll throw up a picture soon. How tall are you again? Whats your weight?

[Darlantan]

Body weight exercises should be ok for 2 months...such as push ups, pull-ups, some plyometrics, lunges, squats, lunge jumps, jump squats, planks... If you have dumbbells and/or something heavy you can lift, maybe you can do some rows and presses, too. Anything to keep your muscles active.

I like that.

Also, just make sure to eat enough protein.

Thank you very much

I'm not trying to be a fearmonger, my mom just called me the other day and was like "ZOMG STOP DRINKING MYOPLEX!" I looked it up to see what all the fuss was about, and figured I would share it.

The mercury just gives it a little extra flavor. I'm ok with that.

That's the spirit! Ultimately weight doesn't matter ... as long as most of the weight is muscle, not fat and you feel good about your body.

But since you have so much extra muscle mass...share with the rest of us :D

I'm a 20 year old male, 5'10sh and weigh about 167. I'm pretty skinny, but most of my fat seems to pool around my belly and the upper portion of my thighs. Overall, I'm happy with my weight, just not where it is. I've never been a fitness fiend, but I have a fairly good diet (compared to most other 20-year-olds) and eventually, I'd like to have a more muscular build. What would be a good work out plan for a beginner like myself? I have access to some weights and I try to run at least 3 miles a week atm, but I don't feel like its doing anything. Any advice would be helpful :3

[Meat]

yeahhh boyeee, it's crazy how much definition you have at that weight, here's me at 215(ish). about how much carbs are you taking in daily rich, i'm sorta low carbing it now and it's deflated me a bit.

[richardd]

damn wth, its like a doppleganger. im like a big sun burned version of you


on none workout days, the only carbs i eat are the 1/2 cup oatmeal i have with my whey morning breakfast shakes and misc ones like some fruits, blueberries and whatnot. i stick with mostly fiber foods, like spinach, black beans, and some cooked stringed carrots

but on workout days, i go nuts. i eat a full cup of oatmeal on my shakes (idc about taste) since it absorbs so long. i also like to 2 thick slices of wheat fiber breads with 3-4 TB's of peanut butter with some olive oil on it and scarf it the hell down. its absolutely disgusting, but it sure as fuck gets the job done lol. ill also eat some misc protein bars too throughout the day since im too lazy to make real snacks. but only on workout days. ill eat footlong (wheat) subs and whatnot. but not from subways. i go to whole foods or publix.

before i go to bed, the only thing left i eat is sliced apple dipped in peanut butter. its hard to break 3k cals man. its a lot more complicated than eating an entire pepperoni pizza to these ppl who have no idea how our lifestyles are lol

and damn, i know i said it already, but god you're big lol. i know there are some other heavyweights that lurk here that wont post crap who's big like us though. (lookin@u ozz)

edit: but ya, im unpredictable. my main courses for the next day are based on the randomness of what i pull out of my freezer today. tomorrow im making some filet mignons. its shoulders day. im not gonna stress too much about breaking 3k. our shoulders are already hewgelikexbawx
