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

[freeze]

I hit legs twice a week now, but when it was once, it was always on friday night so that i could get plenty of sleep. doing them pulls so much from me that i'm drained and need as much rest as possible. i dont feel the pain after working them like i used to. just slightly. like the rest of my body. once your body gets used to being worked, it responds better. my main aim now when i do them is just to get a good nights sleep after and plenty of protein in me. Casein before bed to refuel me while i hibernate.

i posted here before and mentioned how the largest I've ever been was 240. That was about a year+ a few months ago. I don't have pics of myself during that time but I have a photo of myself about a little less than a full year ago probably at 210. I stopped weighing myself during that time period because I was afraid of the scale. especially after seeing (240) this is me probably around 210-215

this is now me probably 2 months ago at 190 trying to see how a size small fits

of course it was too small though. I am now at 180 and I believe a size 32 waist and feeling great. I still need working on here and there but I'm just happy to be where I am at now. Anyhow fit NT members, any recommendations on hardening up my stomach and helping me get rid of man boobs? I'm now 6 ft 180 btw.

honestly dont do any ab exercises that involve weight, crunches and resistance bands are the best route to keep your abs flat and have that aesthetic appeal

for the man boobs, start doin pushups and benching HEAVY, i dont mean hi reps because thats what the push ups are for so try to get in like 200 every night, i mean heavy sets of 4-4-6-6, i have seen results in 2 months once i ditched my 3 sets of 10 moderate weight regiment

[legreyfoxx]

hope you have a speedy recovery illest. but I think thats where I'm lacking I'm only doing subtle pushups and weak sets of sit ups and crunchs. like elementary type stuff...

 

[cincoseisdos]

Had a GREAT workout this morning... Tried lifting some 50lb DB's... too heavy for now had to settle for 45's

I've been less aggressive with eating, I think it's suiting me better.

No need to do any ab exercises, squats and deadlifts work your abs more than anything.
Only way to really get them to show is to have a low BF%

For Ab's to show it's all about Body Fat, What is your typical daily diet?

Sorry to hear that!

Kind of had a sucky shoulder workout with the seated barbell shoulderpress as the main exercise. I'm doing a sort of 5x5 routine where I do the same weight for 5 sets and maximum 5 reps. When I succeed on all reps I will microload the next week. Last week I did 80 kgs (176 lbs) no problem and today I couldn't do 82,5 kgs (181,5 lbs). Did 4 reps on the first set and on the last sets I could only do 3 reps. Ah well, better luck next time. I did go up each time for the last 6 weeks so failure would happen eventually.

Were you wearing a belt?

I just started using a belt for my heavier lifts. i would be that guy with 8 plates, no wraps, no belt My back would kill me afterwards until I stretched it out.
But now I take no chances and keep it safe.

Havent posted in here in a minute. Good to see guys making good progress.

A word of advice for some. I know someone who recently suffered a "mild" stroke. She said fat burners she was taking did something to her blood.
I dismissed that theory and figured the Drs were just trying to put the blame on something. Come to find out she said she was taking fat burners since her 20's (now 36) and she was addicted to them. Seems like she never really got off of it. So a little warning to you guys, make sure you cycle off of that stuff. Same goes for jack3d and those other pre workouts. Give your body time to cleanse itself. Take anti oxidents.

 

[luckyluchiano]

Naw I was waiting to get a belt till I got really high in weights but I am warming up with 245 then doing 295 then 325 3 sets of each 3 times a week due to starting strength

 

[dauldierce]

Can't speak for everybody, but for me, the long work days start to take it's physical toll on me so I look toward caffeine to give me the pre-workout boost I need to still stay active. Before, I was drinking sugarfree Redbulls....now I have the OG Jack3d, which I'm regretting purchasing actually. I should have gone with the Micro formula. The OG is too much energy, not enough pump and it's been throwing off my sleeping schedule. I've had to way more just to get to bed at midnight.

I'll probably take 0.5-0.75 of a scoop from now on. A full one is a bit too much.
