STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[fourtyeight48]

i get a lot of compliments on my biceps even when i think i dont deserve them because IMO they arent that great. They look flatter now than they were last summer for some odd reason even tho ive been hitting them and havent lost weight :x

ive been hitting tri-ceps hard to make my whole arm look bigger but they literally wont grow. the lateral head for me is so easy and sticks out and grows but the long head will not grow. no idea why

U don't bench if I remember or OHP or do dips.

Not sure if it was you.

 

[Bert.]

i bench and do dips

i dont OHP tho

Now that we've settled that biceps are more for aesthetics than functionality, and that the bishes love it, an old video that was posted here a while ago I think

Learned something today too regarding my belt...

I used to notch it so it was tight. After a set of heavy squats, I'd notice my lower back would be sore...

I wore my belt today 1 notch looser than usual... Went for a heavy squat of squats... And it felt good. My lower back wasn't sore at all until my 4th set of heavy.

Profile on the Costco ON isn't bad at all.

Here's the Gold:

It's the choc malt flavor.

Here's the Costco:

You shouldnt be paying a $1 for a serving of protein, thats pretty expensive. Look for proteins that cost $.60-.75 a serving. Gold Standard is $.75 a serving on BodyBuilding.com

 

[Bert.]

an Isolate is always more expensive but i do agree that $1 a serving is ridiculous.

Gonna finally invest in Romaleos and probably SBD knee sleeves.

Jeezus I'm so out of shape, just attempted a circuit of

Farmers walk x 60 sec
Push-ups x 60 sec
DB squat press x 60 sec

For five rounds


Damn near got a stroke

 

[baltimoregutta]

It actually evens out. I double scoop my Gold Standard. A tub lasts me about 7 weeks. That's 48g per double scoop.

That Costco kind can last me 2 months if I do 1.5 scoops which is 45g.

I don't buy protein off bodybuilding. That's why I save money.

I mean does it count as arms day if i do biceps after my back exercises and triceps after my chest exercises?
When i was on a 5-6 day a week split i would have a bi's and tri's day. But i stopped that now that i have soccer 2 times a week. But i don't do anything different for my arms now i just tack them on to the end of my other days.

Today is back day for me. I am thinking bent over rows....hang cleans....light deads....cable rows and some lat pull downs. Then if i have time biceps

 

[baltimoregutta]

It wouldn't count as an arms day if arms isn't the main body part being hit that day...

Gonna finally invest in Romaleos and probably SBD knee sleeves.

I highly recommend both. Order 1-2 sizes down for the sleeves. Ill be picking up a new pair soon just to have for competitions.

I brought one size down. They're also good for DL shin guards.

Not much going on here, just squat rack chin ups

edit** there is a video and my mobile has failed to upload correctly

 

[durden7]

Im not sure why those pictures are posted. Is she doing something wrong or funny?

 

[djyoung08]

Lunch time though

 

[Mark Antony]

An entire day's workout for arms does sound pointless for the regular joe.

 

[djyoung08]

I'd feel very unaccomplished leaving the gym having only lifted bis/tris

Pretty sure I'd be able to do that without sweating

 

[everysingletime]

Getting kinda amped for a max snatch day. It'll have to wait till Saturday unless someone programs it for a class.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Snatch you say, good luck...

Been having **** workouts the past two weeks, bday coming up in two weeks. Going to ramp up everything from diet to workouts.

Hovering around 215 right now, I see you 200-205

Starting 5/3/1 today

Haven't programmed the week yet,

Today:
Barbara
20 pull ups
30 push ups
40 sit ups
50 squats

5 rounds for time
Rest 3 minutes between rounds

Deadlift 5 x 5: 2x5 (265) 2x5 (305) 1x5 (345)
Power Clean 3x5 @185

 

[everysingletime]

Those numbers are impressive. I'm giving myself a year or more to attain those kinda stats.

My deadlift, clean and power clean is 220, 140, and 120 in that order. Been working on these lifts for 7 months. My snatch is lagging behind.

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

I do an arm/abs day on Fridays just to close out the week. I have seen improvements by incorporating it so Im gonna keep it. It usually is my shortest day at the gym too (30min).

Big arms + Custom Fit Polo = Swag

I just want veins in my biceps. I like that look. I see this fat guy with big veiny biceps. I don't get it

Genetics and/or BF%

If you don't have the genetics, get that low BF%
