dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

well when you don't go,it hurts when you do a bit, i'm too busy with the cars to go.

Ginge !

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

Ginge !

if i was as fat as you then i would agree with you.

Ginge !

coont

hey im fat but i dont care, means that my chest will ALWAYS look big

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

it will be the man boobs that make it look big.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

ginge if it dont hurt you aint done enough , you have to brak the muscle to get nutiants in lol

so get back in the gym do some cylcing or stepper just to free em up believe me it will hurt for a bit but then will eas up u tart

Ginge !

maybe, but they are solid man boobs

arms are comming along how too and the shoulders are getting there

gonna work harder to rip the muscles till about jan when im gonna start repping it out

THEN we will see, ill be back in liverpool for round 2

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

oh and just to add in between each set stretch out

Ginge !

i do that due to the burning feeling i get after the sets

using a chest machine with 140kg on it,,,, feels like someone trying to open your rib cage,,, then the last set i lower it back VERY slow and stretch it back

then i cry for a little bit

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

Ginge !

pmsl at round 2!

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

' cryin like when doing legs ginge put ur heels to ur arse cheecks over and over till ur next set ! oh thats one heel at a time by the way just incase u try both at one time

Ginge !

as in streching between sets or as in lower the machine till im about to shit my self then push up

if the secon FUCK THAT, i just about got it downpast 45 degrees before i had to push myh thighs to help get the fucker back up

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

ok ginge when u finish ur last rep on each set get up and do it

when doing shoulder's after the set stretch ur arms up ect ect doin this will stop the muscle contracting

Ginge !

cheers, must admit we kind of guess the stretching part

ive got problems with my left shoulder that it clicks a little since i dislocatedit when i was moutain biking

what i do is swim after ive done shoulders to stretch ( yes i go a puffy gym with steam room/pool/sauna/sunbeds ect )

anything that help get it stronger is a good help

also my back,,,,,,, ITS LIKE A FUCKING IRONING BOARD UP MY T-SHIRT

i try to lift weights but im clicking my back/shoulder when im doing it and using more shoulders when i do it

HELP ME AS THEY PICKING ON ME AT THE GYM

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

over all the years of throwin heavy wieght about ginge there aint a joint in my body that dont click lol

all i can say is without seeing for my self how u train the best advice i can say is strengh will come make sure you have ur technique right for each exercise dont for fucksake let idiots ribbing u make u think you have to lift more than u can manage without causing injury ,remember its a fine balance to push urself to get gains and to push towards injury

Ginge !

jay its technique sort of, when i use the pull down bar behin my head it gets so far down then my shoulder and back move,i can carry on but its my shoulers/arms im more using due to the angle of my back,, its a little like arching your back on a bench

but its like that with any weight,,, i go lighter and it dont happen but theres no resistance,, its as if i cant control my body

and cause of this my shoulders are getting bigger but my back sucks

lifting weights aint a issue, im one of the few people who can bench 2 plates each side all day, every day

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

ah ok with the lat pull down try sitting straight pull the bar down infront of you as close to ur face as poss with the bar level with ur adams apple this will stop u arching up ,to widen the back area try single arm rows also double cable grip seated in the cable pull down machine ! i have other ideas but try these first

also try some cod liver oil not the mickey mouse ones from superdrug get the horse pill type from holland and barrat that will help with freeing joints up im hoping that its just ur body getting used to working in this way

Ginge !
Is that 150kg each leg or for both?

Stu.H

has to be both, as i could do 200kg+ when i 1st started

Ginge !

nash 230 was the MOST for both legs

but 160 will be both legs

jay ill try that, i forgot to mention i use the cables to stretch out at the end of each session before swimming

Nash

iTrader: (3)

Cool not bad mate.

I do about 160kg on Left leg[fucked knee] but thats quite painfull. Then do about 150kg on right leg and nothing wrong with that one. Cant do both together as cant add enough weight.

I really need to start doing more cardio as i am a right fat cunt now! Beer gut of death!

Ginge !

ive tried to do weights and cardio,it dont work so ill be a fat cunt whos strong rather than a pretty boy whos toned

Nash

iTrader: (3)

Its got to a point the missus takes the piss out of my belly so got to start doing cardio again. Only 3 years ago i used to be able to do 5miles in 28minutes, then i fucked my knee so cant run anymore.

smokey

Does that mean lighter weights and more reps?

Prick wants sacking immediately.
You could have damaged yourself for life due to that Moron.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

my thoughts exactly !! suprising how competetive a person can get without realising it and getting carried away

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

Must say though Jay since we are on this topic and you have given me so much advice, i am proud to have done my first 300Kg+ set of 10 on the leg press this week.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

GET IN

Paul Eggleton

Nice one ginge

Don't forget calves too, but watch for the dreaded clutch peddle spasms afterwards on the way home

Jay,

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

I am well pleased mate. Interestingly as well, Nicole commented that you cant pinch much bodyfat anywhere at all on my legs, especially my quads.

Such a drain that you can fill binbags with the stuff off my damn belly.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

i remember in my younger days having to phone my misses to pick me up from the gym after a few nice leg sessions as wasnt able to walk down the stairs let alone drive home

Ginge !

stu hes also a mate as well, we all are like a big family in there, one of hes clients owns some club in st albans or has something to do with it and hes always trying to get us going out with everyone there

VERY impressed with the 300kg on legs,,,,,,, seriously i was STRUGGLING like a bitch on 230,,, and trust me thats alot heavier than you think

300 is MENTAL

gonna have to work harder again

paul i got a cramp this morning on the way to work

good job i dont give a shite about the car and just reved the engine till if went into gear

oh the personal trainers at my gym are self employed for some reason,,, see lots of em come and go but the one man whos working every day is guess who hes a top guy,, invited us to the staff party too,,,,, we must go there too much

StephenC

this all on the leg press yeah??? Personally think its a shite machine and so easy to cheat and get silly weight on it. Most people in the gym I go to can put 7 to 9 plates on each side and work at it. Get them to do a real squat and there fucked at 20kg per side. Understand people have health reasons stopping them doing this, as above with the week knee, but the press is such a cheat movement. Cant beat getting some proper squats on the go, getting the tops of your legs parallel to the ground and pushing with every muscle in your body to get the weight up. Feels imense and seriously promotes muscle growth. Just my 2p worth really, I wasted around 4 years in gyms messing about with gimmick machines, yes a choice few are good and cant be replaced, and gained little muscle mass. After I went to predominantly free weights and a big compound movement each session I noticed the changes very quickly.
Dont get me wrong, anything is better than nothing and not everyone is striving to gain muscle mass just to tone up a bit and get healthy which no one can take away from anyone. Just the competitive side in me used to come out and I always wanted to train as hard and effective as possible. All gone to shit now mind working away and having 3 kids but cant wait for things to calm down and to get stuck back into a proper routine.

Ginge !

stephen i rotate from machines to free weights,the reason for this is the machines rip and also give you that ego boost,, but free weights are a bitch to use an if you dont for a while you loose the knack, also why i only use the smiths for shoulders behind the head aswell as upper chest bench press where i stop on the neck,,, i dont trust anyone to squat me like that if they also gotta balance it

its true about the cheating, but just getting it up to flick the lever is difficult

PS: legs still hurt
