6'3 is an incorrect way of typing 6'3" :)
And that means 6 feet, 3 inches. ' means foot, " means inches. |
11 lbs aint much at all
|
yeah, 11 pounds is nothing.
|
i should train with 20's but i dont
|
Why not?

but yeah, I am considered overweight. my doc says it would be hard to determine what weight I should be considering my build, height, and muscle mass. I'm probably 20 pounds overweight...bah, whatever....I'll work it off by summer. Atheletes (hockey, (american) football players) who are well over 6 feet tall all weigh over 200 pounds. And they're quite healthy. So am I. I may weigh more than most, but I'm also rarely sick, injured, and can whoop ass in a variety of physical activities. :) |
Yeah.... Don't determine your overall "fitness" level by your weight. It should be done by how much muscle you have and how you use it.
|
:unsure:
Well perhaps it has something to do with different builds of bodies. Here in Holland you guys would be looked upon as fat people. It also depends on where your weight is. If it's in the abs region and in the ass and stuf... :green: But if it's all in your muscles... And here I'm considered average, not light. I know some people who are really light. Like 20 pounds lighter and a few inches taller. :eek: :D |
yay i got 20's for my biceps....anyways i can only do em on curls and concentration curls, not reverse curls and a few other exercises...hmm
|
I do 150 reps a day....50 reps at a time. I'm 6'2 and 150. I eat a lot of protien even though i'm a vegetarian. I eat a lot of dairy and other stuff. I'm very health conscience as is the rest of my family. Problem is though, I have the same body build up as my dad...tall and skinny. I max out at 150 on the bench. and I max out at 170 on the butterfly(or whatever its called). I'll never be a tank just because of my body's build. Oh well, i'm strong...just not bulldozer strong. -age 16
|
Yeah... i curl 20's.... im 135 and anywhere from 5'7-5 5'10

im either 5'9'' or 5'10'' oh and, im not really that tall, but i guess we have the same builds, cause i look pretty skinney too. but, ive seen some dudes who are still pretty huge and have tons of muscle, but u just gotta work at it man. |
EDIT:double post, anyways i felt for the first time in a while my arm workout was good...now for tomm!chest and tri's!!

As for angrist... 158 is about the weight of a stacked girl... :p It's possible to be any weight and not be considerd fat.... I mean, what's worse a 270lb guy with 6% body fat or a 150lb guy with 20% body fat? Being "fit" or not is judged by body fat... and some people can rock any weight of body with high percentages of body fat. Without going to a doctor, the main way to judge how much body fat a guy has is by his waist. If they are soggy down there it's high... if they are soggy on top, and hard about half an inch in, that's normal weight... and if it's just hard they are either far below weight, or in athletic shape. |

Not to mention he has to pay more to ride on airplanes ;) |
150 reps is overkill man....after ur 4th or 5th set u are just losing calories soooo
|
i consider myself pretty fit i guess... i got muscle on my arms... im not fat... and i almost have abs :unsure: Im not really sure how tall i am cause like.... ok... My friend sais hes 5'7 and then we stand up and im taller than him... :unsure: or this other guy sais hes 5'11 and hes got like half an inch on me... or some other guy sais hes about 5'7ish and were like the same height :unsure:
I use to be about 5'4 and 140.. before i started goin to the gym.. i lost a bit of weight and grew some... now i wanna put on some more muscle... :unsure: Dont really know what to do tho... I run about 3 miles... couple times a week.. and then i do some weightliftin i guess... and on days i go to the gym i get enough protein... not seen much results tho.. |
heres the split i currently follow emil
1) Back/Bi 2) Chest/Tri 3) Rest 4) Legs 5) Shoulders 6) Rest try it if ya want also, if you are bulking DO NOT RUN, or do any cardio, and get an excess amount of calories. sure u'll gain some wight but u'll gain some muscle if you are cutting, then you are doing the right thing. cardio 2-3 times a week for 20-30 mins. ask anything else and i got an answer lol |
My foot is back in crutch-free walking condition, but I have a lot of work to do in the gym. I have chuncked on 15-20 lbs(I have low metabolism... maybe because I used to be a chunky guy)... I might start off doing cardio again by getting on the bike, then work myself to running a couple of miles a day again.
|
man 2 miles a day is overkill, unless ur doing it for some kinda sport
|
i dunno.. i figure i wanna bulk up a bit.. and i also want a 6 pack... :unsure:
Someone said i needed some "meat" on me... :unsure: |
umm....either you could do cardio 2 or 3 times a week (whenever it fits into ur schedule, dont do cardio unless its 8 hrs before or after ur workout)....OR you could bulk up a bit then you could lose some weight b4 summer
i think imma do the latter |

In track I'm a thrower, and in football I'm a Linebacker (among other things at times) Plus I'm 19... 2 miles isn't close to overkill for me... I could do more if I wanted to. |

Also, if you want to bulk up and lose weight (or get ripped) at the same time... I suggest: 1. When you bench press and squat do high weights, and only 5 Reps. 2. when doing secondary workouts (Culs, Triceps, Calf raises, etc) do at least 10 reps in each set. 3. Everyday do at least 5 sets of sit-ups 4. On your non-gym days, do push-ups 5. Do 30 minutes of Cardio... no more... and if it's a lazy day do at least 15. Well, I dunno if it will work for you, but when I was a freshman, I was a lil 5'9" 250lb fatboy offensive lineman, I just followed those five rules until I got down to around 210, and became one of the strongest players on my HS football team. Last year I was 6'3" 230, with under 10% body fat. (right now I'm up at 245 because of a foot injury) So eh, it worked for me |
lol, I run right after/before lifting weights (depends on the day)... hasn't hurt me a bit.
its best to do it 8 hours before or after for best gains 1. When you bench press and squat do high weights, and only 5 Reps. 6-8 reps for size 2. when doing secondary workouts (Culs, Triceps, Calf raises, etc) do at least 10 reps in each set. agree 3. Everyday do at least 5 sets of sit-ups dont do sit ups. do weigted crunches and other good ab exercises. u only need to do em 2-3 times a week 4. On your non-gym days, do push-ups i agree with this and i think ur right 5. Do 30 minutes of Cardio... no more... and if it's a lazy day do at least 15. do 20-30 mins if u dont want to burn muscle. if ur gonna do it for 10-15 do high intensity (sprinting/jogging back n forth) and IF U WANT A SIX PACK U GOTTA LOWER UR BODY FAT TO UNDER 10 (which probably isnt so easy, so i give props to justin) |

but I wouldn't worry too much about your appearance for a while...I workout for sport and to stay healthy...not to have a big chest, or big arms or a nice flat stomach. Those are bonuses :p |
ohhhhh man. you do WAY WAY too much in one day. every day?
thats not good. first off, EACH muscle group needs 48-72 hours to recover, and ur certainly not giving it that. plus you are not working every part of ur body, im sure ur missing some things. if u want, after i study, like maybe tomm, i can help you come up with a good lifting routine/cardio. up to you man. but nice job on the 4 pack!i envy you! *are you tryin to gain mass or strength or endurance?* |
jus wonderin... what am i doing when i curl like a 10 pound weight a bunch of times?? Thats not building muscle right? so what does that do?
and just curious.. how many push ups can you guys do? I dont think i can do very many :unsure: but i can do about 7ish on one hand... only the right hand tho.. cant even come close to doin one on my left hand... :( |
Pushups: 100 at a time... slowly building up.
|
pushups: 3 and then I collapse and have to be taken to the hospital.

hey, it's a start... I think. |

Stu, how long have you been on that workout? If more than 2 weeks, I say stop for 3 days then come back to lifting again, you will feel (and be) MUCH stronger. :) The scientific reason is... well, when you lift you are only damageing your muscles. Your muscles get little tears in them every time you lift. The thing is, given time, your body heals the tears and it makes your muscle bigger and stronger! So, if you go to the gym every day like you are doing, your muscles are not having time to recover from the damage! That means you aren't getting stonger, you are just slowly working yourself towards a HUGE cramp or injury. Given time to heal, the next time you lift you will reem the results of the healed tears and be able to lift things you were struggleing with a little easier. Now, those tears can turn into rips, depending on how you work. If you go to the gym and do 10-12 reps per set you are not going to get stronger as fast as say, 5 reps per set. Doing 10 reps will give you a lot of tears in your muscles, and bigger ones. This will cause your body to take longer to recover from lifting then doing 5 reps. In five reps you get smaller tears, which are much faster to recover. Doing five reps will make your weight training speed go much faster. You recover faster, and get stronger much faster. While the good part of doing 10 is that you get more endurance and you get much more ripped... but you just don't get as strong as fast. When I was coming up I stopped right between the two doing 7-8 reps. I'd do 7 at times where I felt getting stronger was a little more important, and 8 at times when I felt gaining endurance is a little more important. Another wise tip is... think about every little weight excercize you do. Which ones do you need to get stronger in, and which do you need to gain endurance in. Then, in general, concerning your upper and lower body, what do you need to get strong at, and what do you need endurance at. I mean, generally, for your position in football, what do you need most of all? (Upperbody and lower body) Recievers and DBs would most benifit from endurance all-around, while Linemen would benifit most from strength all-around. Then QB's need strength up high, and endurance down low. You just have to look at what you are doing, and relate it to what you are doing in the gym. |
thanks Justin, I appreciate the tips.
And guys, I know exactly what I'm doing. And I guess I was a little misleading. When I say every day, that doesn't mean NO rests. It means I work out daily, and after about 5-7 days I take a rest from weights (1 or 2 days). I've been using this method for 13 days and I'm already seeing results. J, I'm working primarily right now with 15 reps. Is that too much? If 10 reps is better, that's cool...I'll switch to that. I've noticed that with the 15 reps, I've bulked. I haven't measured my chest, but it's huge...like Donkey Kong :p It looks like I'm either going to be D-Line or TE this year...strength can come as a slightly higher priority than endurance. As for Mush's question...How many reps/sets do you curl with the 10 lbs? If you can curl 30 or more, try a 15/20lb weight and do 10 reps. |
with Higher reps you will notice physical changes faster... but as far as being able to push more weight, won't happen. You might need to knock it way down to 7 Reps if you are more concerned with raw strength... if you wanna look better with your shirt off keep doin what you are doin :p
