I only watched the squat and deadlift and that was enough for me. But I just watched the clean...I didn't know you could screw it up that much lol.

yacobod said:while his form is bad, you have to admire his determination and he does give max effort and balls to the walls.
and even if his form is bad, he still deadlifts a lot more than most gaffers. most true max effort lifts usually look a little bit ugly.

Apparently a world-class strongman coached him after seeing his vids, and now he's a pretty good lifter with much improved form.

You are doing GOMAD and are a beginner, why are you doing leg extensions and using a bench machine?The Lamp said:I just tried on a pair of boxers I used to wear. My ass and hips and legs are filling them out pretty quick--they're almost like boxer-briefs on me now.
It's the little things like this that are amusingly exciting lol.
I think I'm going to post before/after pics in a few weeks if this weight-gain continues.
And yes I'm seriously drinking a gallon a day. It was hard the first couple of days with lots of trips to the bathroom (where I crapped but it was never actually diarrhea).
Now it's not hard at all so long as I start early in the day and finish before my work out. My body's finally adjusted to digesting all that lactose, too, I think.
I think if you stick with the GOMAD diet the first week it isn't too hard afterwards. I know people recommend you ease into it, but I (possibly unwisely) just started drinking a gallon of milk out of nowhere. Like I said, left me extremely bloaty and made my intestines hate me, but now I'm okay and the diet is doing it's thing.
EDIT: HOLY CRAP. Guys I just checked my work-out log.
These were my lifts for one set, 8-10 reps.
June 20--last week. I could only lift 45 lbs. on the leg extension machine, 65 lbs. on squats, 15 lbs. on the military press, and 35 lbs. on the multi-bench-press machine.
Today I easily lifted 95 lbs. on the quads/hamstrings leg extension machine, 95 lbs. on squats, 30 lbs. on the military press and 45 lbs. on the multi-bench-press machine.
WTF are these kinds of improvements in just ONE WEEK normal??? O_O
b.mak said:I don't know if I'm posting this in the right place or not, but I don't want to bump older threads. I'm 21, 6 feet tall and weigh 140. I go to the gym about 4 to 5 times a week and I'm trying to build mass. What protein supplement do I use? I live with my parents and they are vegetarian, so unless I eat out, protein shakes are my main source. How much protein should I take a day? And which protein powder should I buy? I usually use EAS whey protein, but I bought muscle milk a month ago and just finished it today. I felt that muscle milk worked a little better than EAS.
Also, should I start taking creatine? I'm finding it hard to gain weight...
Right. A true strength athlete wants at least a gram of protein per pound of body weight a day. I usually have 2 scoops of whey a day which gives me 46 grams from whey. I drink a lot of milk throughout the day which is really helpful and have taken a big liking to Greek Yogurt. A tiny cup has about 14 grams.ipukespiders said:Try to get 150 grams of protein a day if you can.
Milk, cheese, whole eggs are a good source if your parents allow. Six eggs a day will go a long way to help you reach your target, 4 cups of milk, a tub of cottage cheese. Can get expensive though.
I use Kaizen brand whey protein, vanilla flavour, but inexpensive choices are limited here - I don't rely on the whey, it is a supplement after all.

It's all about pushing yourself, so there's many ways to go about HIIT. You can keep rest periods the same but slowly increase your work intervals each week, or keep work intervals the same and reduce rest periods. Or keep all the same but increase the intensity or difficultly of your work sets.Hyunkel6 said:Is there a way to tell if one is doing high intensity interval training adequately? I'm pretty tired and soaked by the end of my training, but I'm not sure if I'm doing too much or not enough. I do the standard training:
5 minutes warmup
1 minute high intensity followed by 1 minute low intensity (repeat 6 times)
5 minutes cooldown

Dude now pulls like 500+ @ 160 lbs with proper form.

Personally, I hate the elliptical. When I use it, it just doesn't feel natural. Like the human body wasn't designed to move in it's limiting ROM.SeanR1221 said:So elliptical or treadmill?
Is one better than the other?
I find myself wanting to use the elliptical, but I figured I'd ask here first before switching over.
Personally, it's treadmill > elliptical. I like to jog, run, and hill sprint outside of the gym so the treadmill has more carryover for me relative to the elliptical.SeanR1221 said:So elliptical or treadmill?
I like the treadmill for a good warm-up, too. Great for when I don't want to run in the rain and hit the weights soaking wet.SeanR1221 said:Ok, I'll stick to the treadmill then.
I usually do a 5 min warmup (6.5mph), lift, then cool-down cardio at 5.5-6.0mph for 15-20 minutes.
That pain in your knee probably means your shoes arent supporting your knees enough. Go to a store that sells running supplies and let them analyze your feet and how you run so they can recommend some good running shoes. Or, if you already did that, start over and do something like couch to 5k to give your knees more time to adjust to running.nilbog21 said:hey guys i've been experiencing some mild pain in one of my knees (when running) and in one of my wrists (when doing pushups). does anyone know foods/vitamins/nutrients I could take to strengthen my joints?
Thanks :S
I have the NB Minimus and they are great for squats and DLs. I wear them wherever I would normally wear sneakers. I've gotten lots of compliments on them. It's a nice looking shoe.X-Frame said:I have the Nike Free 7.0's and love them. Very comfortable but they're not very "free" and they have a thick sole. The 5.0 and 3.0 I assume are more towards barefoot.
I'm looking to get the New Balance Minimus Trail shoes, or the Merrell Barefoot Trail shoes. Both have Vibram soles, but no funny looking finger-toes.

Yeah it is. I have the black/yellow ones. Hopefully they'll add more colors as the shoe remains popular.X-Frame said:I want to try this but damn would I look funny doing this in the gym ..
Weighted Glute Bridge
That's good to hear. I keep hearing great things about the shoe so I think it might be what I'd get. Though on the website there's only 2 colors? Seems kinda weak ..
