He got into them after he recovered from being sploded

Do you know what kind of test? Feel free to dm me

Splody*

Nah I’ll have to ask him later

Then I’ll dm you

i have been interested in them I won't lie, I don't really personally know that many people who juice

as someone with a fast metabolism it's pretty hard for me to build muscle

I’m not gonna go crazy on them, 1 50 day cycle, then 2 off then another 50 day

I've been using since August and I will 100% say it changed my life in the best way

Whats the difference between having a fast or a slow metabolism tho?

@Bard that’s how I am, but I finally got a little weight and I want to convert it, I got hit by a semi truck 4 years ago so it will also help reinforce those muscles

@NovaSoldier I'm the type with a "slow " metabolism I gain weight super fast

i just see the dudes at the gym for the past couple years that literally are gigantic and you go to talk to them and it's like talking to mickey mouse

Like fat weight

@Bard those are the guys that don’t space their cycles

Or they just naturally have higher voices

it took me years of hardcore depression and alcoholism to actually gain fat after I left high school

@alwayskeepright considering how huge and cut they are as 19-21 year olds...yeah no fucking way

steroids are really big in the greek life around these parts

Hell, it could've been a reason they started, hoping it would change that. There's rampant body dysmorpjia with body building. Guys trying to compeensate for other areas they struggle in

well that I definitely agree with

Bodybuilders are just gross tho

Dont like them a bit

I'm no expert, but I've been researching and part of a chat with others with waaaaaaay more knowledge and experience than I and have been picking up what I can

@NovaSoldier I agree, body builders are bitches. That's why I wanna follow strongman or power lifting

I just like goong to the gym to get fit

I dont wanna look like nappa

Nappa?

The guy from dbz

Ooo

Also im preatty tall and already preatty muscular so i dont need more muscles

This is bae

I nees stronger ones

See, that ones too much for me

😍😍😍

Mother fucking wolds strongest man up top

pretty sure martins doesn't juice, neither does brian who came in really close second at the santa monica

6'3 340lbs

The second one looks natural

> 6'3 340lbs

Holy shit

Brian Shaw is 6'8", 430ish lbs and has won worlds strongest man 4 times

martins only once

even Hafthor has only won one time

Yeaaaaaaa but I'm closer to 6'3

So easier to dream

But those guys get tested very rigorously...they don't juice to look like that or do the things they do

@FloridaManBoohajideen if your buddy is charging you more than $40 a vial for test he's fucking you. Just an fyi

@Bard according to rob Kearney on jre, they just test for narcotics

for bodybuilding yes, for WSM, no

Rob Kearney competes wsm

He's the flaming homo dude with the world record of log press

Yo it's my first time trying the hex bar, this thing is legit

Hex bar is so much better than just a bar

Dude I feel like I've been living under a rock. New PB deadlift lets go

Never tried hex bar

Hell yea brothers! I'm down to 199.5lbs. That's a first in 5 years! Stay at it kings!

That’s awesome to hear King

I’m ringing in about 157

And got my squat to 295 and front squat to 255

Nice man, good numbers

@F7boog the hex bar uses quads more than glutes/back

I'm pissed, my knee has been fucking up, doc says I'm developing arthritis in it. Legs are my fucking fave and I have to cut back

Man that sucks

Hope you can deal with it

I'm trying a brace right now and taking it easy. Also have physical the rapey appointments lined up

But I'm redirecting my focus to my upper body. Getting my lats wider

Nice, dont let it get you down

Nah, it won't, I'm too invested and will just change focus to another body part.

There are some peptides I might try on it.

Some peptides are good for healing soft tissue issues

@NovaSoldier what’s your fave part to work

working my abs

because you do it infront of the eliptical machines and you can look at chicks ass while working out

That’s the best motivation right there

Playing padel fucks you up

Another day of getting out squatted by girls

This thing is no joke

@Bard can you explain how that works?

You take the belt, wrap it around your waist and chain it to the center lifting part thing (don't know what to call it) and do squats while standing on the platform, it really helps with not hurting your back while squatting heavy. It's not quite the same as a full squat but it lights your legs up like the 4th of july

What’s the starting weight of that thing

I’m excited to try this out.

What’s every ones work out plan for the day

Drink beer, eat bbq and enjoy life because it's my birthday and a rest day/cheat day from the gym

Did an interval run at a 9mph pace, alternating run/walk every quarter mile for 2 miles. By next week the intervals will be half mile run/quarter mile walk

@Bard have a hand full of ribs while working out. Establish dominance

@thedarkness05 that’s good shit. That improved my run so god dammed much a few years ago. After my knee starts feeling better I want to start that again

Well I have an agility test coming up that I need to dominate. 12:38 1.5 run, 38 sit ups/1min, 29 pushups

Air Force?

Y'all migh not like it, but Sheriff's Office

Hell, that’s the only police force I like around here. They don’t duck with people like the state troopers or city cops

I interned with them, and met the Sheriff. He's absolutely based, and has done the hard shit as a CO in Rikers

I loaded a truck full of rocks and lumber and unloaded the same.

Today was arms and chest

Gave this a try

Shit is hard

Kings

How do i lose my heckin man tits.

hard work and dieting?

what else do you expect anyone to say lol

I mean thats what I did

@Bard thats why im doin lol i can lose fat and gain muscle amywhere else, yet the tita remaim lol

@edgyusername69 they'll go away eventually, it ain't rocket science. just keep doing what you're doing. eventually the man tits turn into pecs and you start stackin bitches like it's the cambodian genocide

I got a decent enough face/body currently i already kinda do. Not to suck my own dick or anything just an observation lmao. But my goal is fitness and health, not looks. Except the man tits part i really do hate them lol

it ain't suckin your own dick if you're observing reality, not sure what to tell you about the man tits in that case though, could be gynecomastia, idk

@edgyusername69 all in good time dude, I’m working on the same thing as you, but my tits are pretty much all gone, just the belly

Make sure you’re eating in a caloric deficit. There’s apps out there to help track calories etc. it’ll take info like height weight age gender yada yada and then show what your deficit calories should be maintenance calories and surplus.

Try out carb manager

I like myfitnesspal

So like my titties are mostly gone, but for fuck sake these love handles are a bitch to burn off

Fuck ya they are. I’ve been putting in HARD work since August. But diet really is key.

I've lost like 10lbs in the last 3 weeks due to meal prepping. Brown rice, black beans, baked chicken, seasonings. All portioned out

I cant meal prep im too hungry

But i can run my ass off. Got my 2 mile tim down to 1850 last night without stopping

Nice, thats really good actually

Yee. Dieting is hard just cause of my appetite. But i figure train harder

I need to find time to meal.prep..

@queefburgler if you’re trying to shed some pounds, something like an ECA stack can help with appetite suppression

Ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin

I keeps my cravings minimal

The combo of those three supposedly help burn fat fairly easily. I’ve been doing it for a while and have dropped bf% fairly steadily

Do you guys prefer horizontal or inclined bench press? Does using the inclined bench press offer any advantage?

It works different muscles. Flat works middle pec, incline works the top

Inclined works the top and some deltoid...declined workes the bottom...flat the middle

Incline is pretty gay

Thanks for the advice!

Leg and back day today

This was mine this morning

Reps of 4, 6, and 8 build muscle the fastest. Assuming you are near failure at the end of each set and failing on the last.

Eat tons of BCAA'a and other aminos

Stretching is super important as well

Things i learned from the arnold bible

@One Shot Paddyinclined bench will be much weaker than normal and is also very injury prone.... Go light here.

I did 5x5 150 bench, 5x3 90lbs shrugs, 6x3 110 Back Flys, 10x3 110 Lat Pulldowns, some shoulder stuff at low weight because that's a weak area for me, a bunch of abs stuff, and 10 mins high resistance bike today

Abs and calves are are the only two Muscle groups that benefit from being worked out multiple days in a row. Everything else needs at LEAST 48 hours rest.

if you target two muscle groups a day you will hit everything in a week with proper rest

Right, that's what I've been doing, I do a hard full body Tuesday/Thursday and then have about 4hrs hockey practice and games on Friday

@thedarkness05 super proud of your progress btw

Mad props

I fucking hate d bags that do dumbbell shit directly in front of the rack

Then they look at you like you’re an asshole when I’m trying to put my Weights back

That's retarded for sure

Fuck those guys

This dude walks around like he’s the shit because he’s like 140 0% bf so he has some definition. Motherfucker gain some weight and build muscle

@Bodark Actual thanks dude. But I gotta keep it up. Lots more hard work instore for me

@thedarkness05 you're gonna be a machine dude, ten pounds in three weeks is amazing

Took me 4 months to lose 20

c:

ya boi starting to get my muscles back under these titties AAAYYYY

at my peak i was 6 ft 225lbs with a 32 inch waist. made the 1,000 lb club in a 3 lift on ship. was constantly accused of being on steroids...im pathetic in comparison now. 6 ft 225 lbs with a 36 inch waist lol.

i have to wear 38's if im carrying my big ass pistol around

i was always able to transform myself radically in 2 months of concentrated effort which ive done 2 or 3 times in the past 10 years but this one seems like im starting from further behind the curve.

I've always been a skinny fuck, and then I stopped working manual labor and sat at home in my studio and drank beer,went from 5'10' 155, 30 waist to 195, 34 waist in the space of 7 months, currently trying to hang out around 175-180. I'm at 177 last weigh, 32" waist. Trying to keep my waistline thin but replace the fat with muscle. Oh and I want massive quads.

I’ve always been around the 200# mark Most off my adult life. I’m 6’1. 12 years ago I was at my lowest adult weight of 185 skin and bones. 6 months before that, my heaviest 250, fat Big Mac eating piece of shit. My “healthiest” was back in 2014. I was roughly 195-200. Could run sub 14 min two mile. Did “CrossFit” on base would regularly run 7-10 miles on weekends. Right now I’m sitting at 235 and carrying the most muscle I’ve had my whole life. I’m riding at roughly 20% body fat trying to get to about 15. I can bench 315 for 3 reps. Squat pr in October was 405, my knee is now fucked, was deadlifting 315 5x5 last week. I’m making good progress and plan to keep climbing.

Oh but my cardio SUUUUUUUCKS. Haven’t “run” in ages cause of my knee

Let’s see what ft Bragg wants out of me these next few weeks

As of this morning I've lost about 10 pounds (likely mostly water weight, I'm on the carnivore diet) in the past 4 weeks

Stepping on the scale and seeing 175 was a big boost to me today because I've been chilling at a skinny fat 185-188 for a long time before that

@Bard. Nice man

@Bard has the carnivore diet given you the shits?

It depends on how predisposed you are to a really low carb lifestyle

Personally I had that for the first couple of days but it evened out and I feel better than ever

It's just your colon getting used to it, it goes away

If you're interested, try it, see how sustainable it is for you

I think I’m going to in June. I’ll be out of town for work stuff on and off until end of May so can’t start it yet

Wife is on board, but she has to keep some carbs being a diabetic

I know ive only been back to the gym for about two weeks and been to two krav maga lessons and even though i know i shouldnt i steel feel let down that im not toning up i underatand it takes time but i still feel let down

It takes so fucking long

Yeah itbdies

Does

>Krav magay

Bro please no

^this

Don't let yourself get sucked into cringe

bjj or die

Learn an actual martial art

BJJ or muay thai

Don't do some meme jew shit that doesn't actually work

Meh

I do what i want

then enjoy getting bodied by some white belt in bjj or something when you can't find a handy umbrella lying around or something

krav magay dudes be like bro everything a weapon bro

bro what do you mean that pen i tried to stab someone with just makes them more angry bro

bro wdym he has me on the ground and that my PROVEN MOSSAD TECHNQIUES™️ aren't enough to break a triangle choke

bro dont tell me that military combatives are all useless garbage too

bro just grab their balls br

poke their eye bro

You Do You man

I really dont care

krav maga is objectively a fake martial art like kung fu or something gay like tkd

it's a scam made for gullible retards

that want to do mma but larp as commandos

with none of the effectiveness of any actual fighting type

neckbeard warriors and karens train krav magoy

I've seen this meme so much lmao

@P I L L A R M A N

Correct

Even a boxer could beat some retard that does krav maga lmao

anyone can

Hell even Israelis don't practice krav maga

lmao they know it's a scam too because they created it

I asked some former IDF guy that trains at my gym about it and he told me people laugh about it there

bjj, muay thai, judo has some great throws, karate some decent strikes, it's...how do you call it...mixed martial arts

if you want to do cardio then just do cardio instead of paying for gay scam martial arts lessons

I really dont care man

it's the equivalent of fudds going yea bro use .38 special snub nose bro

perfect self defense weapon

yea if you want your assailant to laugh at you lmao dork

like he's saying, if you're going to invest money into martial arts training, do what the actual professionals do and not that bullshido

why do all aikaido, kung fu, krav maga, karate, and tkd practitioners exist anymore

it's 2020 not like 1991

fighting is down to a literal science now and there's objectively good and bad styles

and techniques

those things have some value for teaching kids discipline and respect...I guess...and against a completely untrained opponent they will do the job for the most part

but against somebody who does actual combat sports you're fucked

again you can just learn a useful martial art

and learn the same discipline for kids

not disagreeing

same shit i see with the marines and their gay MCMAP or the army and their psuedowrestling combatitves

none of it is real fighting lmao

at least the army combatives are mostly based on the gracie ones...as a bare minimum

wanna learn striking, go box or do muay thai/lethwei

wanna learn grappling learn judo and bjj

back on thoes fat workouts

or just skip all of that and go straight to MMA

Got two compliments in two days at the gym on my size and stature. Let’s see if I can go for the hat trick today

If you don't almost paralyze yourself during your routine, are you even trying?

Just hit 160

I’ve gains 15lbs in 6 months

Which is great for me

Good job King

Thanks man

nice

Gonna stop procrastinating and get it

Time to get fit or die

I'm with you on that one. Gonna take a smol nap, get my shoulder adjusted, then hit the gym

Im gonna hit a quick shower and grab some booty shorts. I may run to the gym. Its only 1.5 miles of residential neighborhoods

You have a pace time in mind?

Faster than 17 minute mile lol

Itll be the first time pushing myself in cardio

In years*

Oof

Get after it kings

Just got to the gym

Noice

Yeah bois. So I weigh 140, 5'6 and lean so cardio isnt really an issue. Im more interested in body strength and maybe putting on some weight
