The Sideshow Freaks Fitness Thread

[Thunderlips]

First post to this thread, i love working out, been doing it strong for 3 years now. i use the 4 days on, 1 day off. starting my week of first with chest and ending it with back . akways taking day off before chest keeps me adding weight and staying strong. typical chest routine for me to build size and strength which i did today 1. barbell flat bench, 2. decline barbell bench. dumbell incline bench .4. incline dumbell flies. 4 sets each pyramiding weight going up , reps dropping. with 2 warm-up sets. today i warmed up with 135 for 15 reps , 225 for 15 reps. now my workout starts with 275 for 10 reps, 295 for 8 reps ,315 for 6 reps. 1 last set whatever i think i can do 3 of. what is important to me is not having a spotter until last rep.for each set. if they help you to much you burn out to early and cant advance the weight. you find yourself always lifting the same weight.say your on your second set and your supposed to do 8 times but you can do it 10 , stop at 8 and you will be stronger for your next set. next workout add weight so you can only do it 8 times you will find yourself adding weight almost every workout. spotter is only there just incase you cant get last rep out. i do this for all my bodyparts.

Ahhh ok, gotcha, making since now... I thought it would be just eating high healthy fats along with protein. I've just seen a lot of books and read tons of stuff that is basically the same lines of Keto only they call themselves a different title or give the diet a diff name.

So does it have a high protein intake and moderate carbs as well? Now I'm curious Well... reading the title I guess it's more of diet food plan...

I am back on the 5 meals a day again which worked well for me.

Yesterday we worked the legs and abs and it was crazy that all but one of the work outs was without any weights or machines.

The jogging is going better too as I am getting further about every time I am out.

Unfortunately, women lose weight from the face on down. Tits before thighs... very sad.

Not true. My wife started working out a year ago after she had gained a few pounds and it almost seemed as though the weight went away over night. She looked very thin from her midsection, her face and her legs and thighs, she did not lose any of her ****s thankfully. She did eat very healthy and worked with a trainer up to 5 days a week so that helped. Since then she's gained very few pounds back, but she's still thin and hardly works out, just eats better.

genetics, then she is lucky... think the statement went for most women, not Ms. Marvel

Time to hit back today, got some major dead lifting to do!

 

[Deeznutz6]

So I switched my routine back to 3 sets of 10 reps, the high reps thing wasnt working for me
Ive lost a couple more pounds, which is not where I want to be, should I go to 4 sets of 8 reps to bulk up a bit?
I still do plenty of cardio, so not worried about that

Meh. I'm just exercising. If I lose weight, I lose weight. If not, then I won't. I've already adjusted my diet and last week worked out 6/7 days. I love the way I feel and have more energy so my goal has kinda been met.

 

[man_vs_machine]

you should do 5 sets and pyramid your reps down based on how much you can lift. The forth and fifth sets are the ones that will really make a difference. You should really only be able to do 4 reps on those last two at a maximum

 

[Deeznutz6]

so 10 8 6 4 4 ?

Yes sir, that is the way, I usually do a warm up set and then hit 10-8-6-4, on some exercises I'm do a drop set which means after going heavy go lite until failure. For most of your core exercises go ahead and do the 4 sets with 10-8-6-4 repetitions.

 

[Deeznutz6]

would you do the drop set after yoru last set? for say bi's and tri's?

I haven't really done tri's but definitely on bi's, u use them more therefore I believe tapping them really hard like that will make them grow.

More or less for the bigger movements, chest, back, legs...

Be careful if you're doing dead lifts or squats most of those exercises wouldn't require the drop set, especially for a beginner. I wouldn't do drop set on dead lifts even now...

Here's a little then and now.

These are the photos from my brother's wedding last September that prompted me to lose weight, totally unacceptable in my eyes, and what hit me most was I thought I had looked good in the tux and all, then I saw the photos and changed my perspective.

Compared to now.
