Just got the women’s server to add a fitness section because I figured most men and woman exercise a little differently/ have different goals. Plus it’s more comfy for women to post progress pictures and such in a female exclusive area. I’ll probably still direct a lot of my fitness questions here tho until the women’s server gets a little more active

2018-10-28 19:08:48 UTC  

@NITRODUBS yeah good call

2018-10-28 19:09:16 UTC  

I got the idea because I wanted to post before and after pics then realized it probably wouldn’t be appropriate on a male dominated server lmao

2018-10-28 19:21:53 UTC  

MALE DOMINATION

2018-10-28 19:22:02 UTC  

AAAAAHHHHHHH 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

2018-10-28 19:23:28 UTC  

@NITRODUBS Yeah, good initiative. Get that female fitness section active!

2018-10-28 19:25:18 UTC  

REEE IM SO OPPRESSED!!!

2018-10-28 19:25:32 UTC  

And I don’t think this server wants me spamming my yoga crap lmao

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA Is Arnold to be believed for people doing it natty, though? No way he wasn't on some kind of juice

2018-10-28 19:26:44 UTC  

Of course he was. He said that was one of the reasons for coming to the states was for better drugs. But his work out motivation and routines are still valuable.

2018-10-28 19:27:17 UTC  

Thats how I started lifting. My father followed him back when he was competing and taught me what he learned from Arnold.

2018-10-28 19:30:39 UTC  

Starting Strength is one of the best plans to start with in my opinion.

2018-10-28 19:30:48 UTC  

If one were looking for one to start

2018-10-28 19:34:04 UTC  

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA I started with the turk meme stronglifts 5x5 added with curls and pulls. kettlebell and runs on off days. I am seeing great progress but it may be many more months until I get really big

2018-10-28 19:34:53 UTC  

I started with a month of keto too but now I am just at a generic low carb

2018-10-28 19:35:06 UTC  

keto gave me gut distress

2018-10-28 19:40:50 UTC  

I have a buddy that has been doing keto and has lost 20 lbs in a couple months. I dont think its for everyone though.

2018-10-28 19:41:22 UTC  

I have tried different routines but always come back to super sets as Arnold speaks about.

2018-10-28 19:42:08 UTC  

Chest/back, Biceps/Triceps integrate shoulders into either day. I also throw in some legs between the two days as well but sometimes just add a third day of legs.

2018-10-28 19:42:17 UTC  

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA Yeha I lost 30 but I was 300 to start

2018-10-28 19:42:35 UTC  

Oh yes I always do weighted calf raises

2018-10-28 19:42:46 UTC  

They say calves recover quickly

2018-10-28 19:43:13 UTC  

Ive had that impression with mine. Gotta go heavy to see results. At least for myself

2018-10-28 19:43:19 UTC  

same with biceps.

2018-10-28 19:43:25 UTC  

Those are weak areas of mine

2018-10-28 19:57:28 UTC  

I just don't want to look weird, with big thighs and hips and butt from deadlifts and squats but tiny lower legs

2018-10-28 20:03:25 UTC  

Calves make or break you having "chicken legs"

2018-10-28 20:13:36 UTC  

Look up Kevin Nee, he is a strongman with basically nonexistent calves. It looks strange, but I don't think anyone ever thinks he skips leg day

2018-10-28 20:18:39 UTC  

Some peoples genetics dont allow their bodies to be as asthetic as others.

2018-10-28 20:23:14 UTC  

TBH yeah you need to put some work into them, but I think BIG calves are pretty ugly.

2018-10-28 20:23:31 UTC  

Nee looks fine.

2018-10-28 20:30:26 UTC  

>training calves

2018-10-28 20:31:19 UTC  

@Deleted User you don't approve?

2018-10-28 20:31:49 UTC  

Half joking here

2018-10-28 20:32:16 UTC  

they can definitely be aesthetic and add proportion, I'm just lazy about them

2018-10-28 20:40:39 UTC  

I got my calves from playing sports and hiking

2018-10-28 20:41:02 UTC  

Be a good Alpenmeister and go for a hike once a week

2018-10-28 20:41:19 UTC  

absolutely

2018-10-28 20:42:02 UTC  

rucking is great

2018-10-30 23:58:37 UTC  

Arnolds high volume routine will work better if youre stickin a ml in your glute
