Finally got completely over mono and other things preventing me from working out.

About to hit the gym tonight after about 4 months of not being able to. 

All my progress is lost and I'll be starting over 

 but I'm excited to start working out again.

A gym regular I see a lot asked me today was I on a fat burner.......I said no, Keto.

Dammit. Are you cereal? I mean, my grip did get better, afterall...I think...I do look like a tool doing those though. Maybe I should stop.

Hey NT,

I've been lurking through this and other workout threads trying to figure out whats best for me. Im 5'11' and 160lbs. Im def not overweight but I'm not in shape (gotta gut)

I started doing Insanity and Im a week in. Will doing that get me looking leaner or should I be following a plan like this? http://www.simplyshredded.com/fitne...el-okunola-talks-with-simplyshredded-com.html

Did you keep the dumbbell outwards when pressing? you may have done more shoulder work than chest depending on form

I love national chesticle day (monday workout), the pump in the pecs is like no other

DAMN
that's exactly it... I found I could press heavier DBs with the weights at a 45 degree angle and closer to the inside of my body. 

Did rack pulls for the first time. Should I be setting the bar below or above my knees???? MY LATS were getting the pump

Slightly below the knee.

Kelloggs cereal.

Isometric grip exercises will help with grip strength, but curls won't help much.

 

[brettthejett]

The DOMS on my front shoulders is legit unbearable.

If I don't do something about it tonight I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow. This is by far the worst workout hangover I've ever had.

Advice????

Son's abs look like intestines.  I say stick with the insanity if you can keep up or look into a beginner strength training program.  That right there is an advanced routine.

my diet has been in check and the results are finally showing

Breaking your plateaus and the sudden feel of increase strength, is a great feeling keeps you motivated...

someone's gotta be able to help me out here....

1. creatine doesn't equal water weight. creatine has developed a lot since inception and any monohydrate shouldn't do that.



2. no one here takes mass gainers. They are unhealthy and pointless. the key component is malodextrine i think and its just gonna make you fat.

3. the only mass gainer you need are REAL and WHOLE calories. if you want to gain mass then eat more. drinking a lot of milk can help tremendously 

Basically what I was trying to say before my edit, is for those who've taken creatine is how big is the drop off of weight should i expect to lose if i were to stop taking it after 5-6 weeks

Ahh, honestly man. Some people don't even notice a difference with creatine.
It's definitely not going to give you noticeable and temporary gains to any degree of concern

Ive taken Mutant Mass and ive gained quite a bit of mass.  Its not a long term thing, but mutant mass + food + crazy workout + cardio = lean to me.

Quick question, are meal replacements good for you if you're trying to lose weight?

You should take a look at "Mastery of Hand Strength" by John Brookfield for a good look at grip strength. Wrist curls are useful, but they're only a part of a good grip training program. Heavy deadlift holds, fat bar work, pinch gripping plates, crushers, extension work, farmers walks, etc. are all good moves
Anyone do snatch grip deadlifts? I tried them out today and it felt pretty good. Harder than a conventional deadlift at the same weight, and I did them super light too.

I've been looking at all the deadlift variations lately and I'm interested in adding a few to my routine. Suitcase deadlift, snatch grip on a platform, and behind the back deadlifts in particular.

Yes. It's a quick meal fix that gives you good amounts of protein that is optimal when gaining muscle, which we know is a catalyst for burning fat.
