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

[ootherocoo]

It's funny that you guys are talking about workout mixes...LOL

This morning I was doing arms, and just couldn't take my regular mix anymore.  Took of my headphones and listened to the gym music......

.  They were playing coldplay!

 

[cincoseisdos]

I can't mess with that awful gym music, it makes my ears cry

 

[picasso swerve]

Meek Mills - House Party

Eminem - Til I Collapse

Staples on my workout playlists, other songs change but these two stay constant. 

On another note, leg day today.

Deadlift 7 sets (one warm up, one burnout) - 135/185/225/275/275/225/185 I only did about 6 reps a set, even on the low weights. This works for me, but it does seem like a lot on paper.

Squats 5 sets - 135/185/225/225/185  Trying to focus on ATG and balancing myself which I have a hard time doing.

Messed around with some leg presses and the calf machine, nothing to remember, I was burnt by then but I feel great now.

I almost never listen to music when I workout.

But one song that always gets me in the zone is "all the above" by Maino

this are great for the price, good sound and bass. the onely bad thing is that the battery dies after 2hrs or so.

I personally like the convenience  of the airbands, even through the sweating it's still been good to me. I've had them for about a year or so.

Only thing I've changed are the foam covers, but so far still works good.

When i used to lift at the gym i would always listen to dubstep (bassnecter mainly). It would get me hyped

 

[bigboss]

I hope you're joking. What the **** is big to you guys?

Why you taking it so personal doe? What are you 6ft? 200lbs on a 6 foot frame isn't big, on me that would be because I'm 4 inches shorter. A taller frame requires more weight to get big, thats the downfall to being tall and lifting. 13 months isn't that long and you shouldn't be getting upset because if you keep going you will get big. Go to the forums on bodybuilding and see the users pictures. Theres some big boys over there no romo. 

For music, I usually go for hard rock 

 Listened to some Drowning Pool yesterday that got me real HYPE.

Call me small and I'm going to take it personally. Guarantee nobody in this thread would call me small to my face. I'm not saying I'm the biggest dude in the weight room, but c'mon man.

I'll ask again, what would you consider big for my height and and BF %?

bro, do you even lift?

 

[dwileykyot]

Same thing i was thinking LOL.... my dude is extra sensitive

 

[stuntman mike]

imo you're def not small but you're not an animal. i work with a bunch of ex-cons who lifted weights in jail for half their lives though so i might have a distorted perspective. guys who are like 6' 260 with tattoos of stuff like eyeballs, guns, knives and more hair on their knuckles than i have on my head.

 

[jewbacca]

That's me at the gym today after a 15 minute run and in the middle of a dumbbell curl/overhead dumbbell press/hammer curl 12 rep superset with 20/35/20lb dumbbells. Completely relaxed.

I was 226lbs back in July 2011. I had basically stopped exercising for two years. I picked it back up, lost 20 pounds then sprained my ankle badly Thanksgiving 2011. Couldn't run and didn't lift a whole lot until March 2012. Ballooned back up to 215.

Then I rededicated myself. And for the past year I've been doing low weight, high rep and supersetting everything. I do each body part twice a week. I ran a marathon in November, and will be running another in three weeks. My weight has been 200lbs give or take 2-3 pounds since November. I've been adding lean mass and losing fat. Sounds unbelievable, but when your clothes are getting bigger, you know you're doing it right.

So yeah, heavy weights for size aren't a necessity.

You're relatively small...

 

[sneakerfan1]

Getting heated in here lol

What would you do hit them? Tell them you aren't small and make a mean face?

Big for over 6ft would be 225 and up with 12% bf or less, but thats just a guess because everyones bodies are different, some hold mass differently then others, and some have larger bones than others.

 

[stuntman mike]

Madeon- Finale

i pretty much listen to very little rap when i workout. metal and electronic.

You look athletic. At 6' to look big with a shirt on, Ima' say 220lbs at least with 10-15% bodyfat. If someone is over 5'10 and they wanna' look noticeably big in clothes, dat dere is gonna' be necessary in my personal opinion.

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

I agree bro. No Offense. You look like a marathon runner or tri-athlete. You look healthy and fit but not big at all.

 

[ksteezy]

bro, do you even lift?

I DIED

But my man Joka looks good, I wouldn't ever want to be thought of as "big" I'd embrace the "athletic" label much better.
