Okay, thanks. I'll be amazed if I can get my lifts up to that level in 12 months.
I told him that. I said if you want to work toward a muscle up you have no choice but to practice your explosiveness. He has no desire to be able to perform one so he didn't care. To each their own.
EDIT: And I was never considering changing what I do. Not a chance in hell!
Need some advice.
I lost a lot of weight last year. I was 197lbs and now I am 139-140lbs. I am 5'5"-5'6".
I did INSANITY once and it did help me loose weight. Now I want to get cut. I am not sure which way to go.
To do Insanity again, or join the gym next to my work. I ride my bicycle to work, so I get cardio from that everyday, therefore I feel like I don't need the cardio from insanity.
I want to get leaner and have muscles. Plain and simple. When I look in the mirror, I see that I have definition, just need to make it more obvious. I have also found the perfect diet that works for me, so no worries there.
Wanted to know what you guys think.
I personally think I should join the gym and start lifting, and then I can ride my bike home right after, which will be my 30-40 minute cardio session.

awwwwwwwwwwwww yeah
Sorry about your lunch but this sentence made me laugh for some reaoson.
Aww I'm jealous. Pretty sure my gym doesn't have one. Kinda forgot about pullovers lately.
Interesting question. I think time under tension is definitely of some importance but so is a slow eccentric and faster concentric. I think they'd probably be a lot of crossover of power&strength and hypertrophy anyway but yeah as you say slow pull-ups would be missing out on improving explosiveness.
Only mortals need to worry about this stuff anyway. You got the explosiveness and the almost bodybuilder look both down pat ha.

Hey guys, I'm pretty serious about losing weight but I have no idea on how to actually do it. Preferably I'd like to lose it as soon as possible. I know I'd need to focus on 3 different things. Working out, Cardio, and Diet. I don't have a gym membership but I do have dumbells at home and a benchpress bar with weights. For cardio I just plan on jogging, got those cool Nike+ shoes with stat tracking.Diet wise, I'm a bit at a lose, I want to cut all the junkfood or at the very least almost all of it. I want to start a veggie diet, with a bit of grain products like rice thrown in. It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

First floor of my gym -
There's a bunch of ellipticals and jogging machines on the first floor, but who wants to see that. 2nd floor has a ton of Hammer strength machines, and two studios, and the 3rd floor is where I spend half my time which is where the 4 racks are, and a lot of other machines. Those pics are from their FB, I'll take some pics of the 3rd floor on Thursday, it's really dingy and grimey looking up there so that explains the lack of pics on their page.
Added bonus, the gym is in the Brazilian neighborhood in my city, and there are a lot of Brazilian women working out there.

What a goddamn difference being on keto and doing SS vs eating a surplus doing SS. i had so much energy! My shoulders got gutted today though, hellacious workout.
I usually start with deads - do you guys work up to those or what?

If you just wanna lose weight, ignore all the other stuff and diet, diet, diet. How much are you looking to lose? You can go a number of ways with this - but diet is king.
I always do squats first, then either press, then deadlift. Worked for me so far.

He said this in his post--180 pounds to 150.
bluerrrrghhhhh I can't read. I mean comprehend.
30 lbs can get taken off by counting calories but it'll take some time. You'll be better off eliminating...well...what's your current caloric intake? How much of it is shit carbs like sugars and more?
I re-read his post to make sure he didn't say specifically!
I feel plenty of my mortality limping around right now. Trust me!
From my experience there seems to be two schools on lifting. The bodybuilder types who care very little about strength and the people who make strength their main goal. Bodybuilder types tend to have a limited ROM and do much higher reps with lighter weight and strength gainers focus on heavy weight and a good ROM. There are exceptions of course but this has been my observation.

1) That is a work gym? That is amazing. I wish our work had something like that.
2) Christ you are huge.
So after my amazing discovery yesterday, I had to take pictures and show you.
This is my gym at work. I had no idea it was like this. I assumed it was typical shit work gym.
This is how busy it is at 5:30 pm
This is me in my gym lol
[/quote]
Considering how huge you are it must have felt like finding Atlantis. Did you let out an audible "FUCK YEAH"?
This is one small step for Bros, one giant leap....for Bro-kind.
I could never have a gym that empty, I'd be tempted to try lifting some crazy weight I have no business even trying and be found dead the next morning. The shame of failing in a crowded gym keeps me in check.

I would never lift and be too be posing and pretending that I am in a movie/montage/wrestling.
Oh trust me, I was posing. First ime I ever photoed myself in a gym. Never wanted to look like that guy around everyone else.
Looking swole brah, and that is a nice gym for a workplace, even more so since it's empty.
This is me today.
Started a much more rigorous strength training routine given to me by a good friend.
He knows his shit so I am following his guidance. That is not me. That is him.
Good luck, man.
That type of shame doesn't exist in my gym, there's gotta be about 20 pics on Instagram with me in the background looking tired & incredulous as some random bro snaps a pic of themselves in the mirror. Another guy walks around half smiling with his headphones on while he raps and flexes his biceps. My gym is VERY bro-centric, far cry from the New York Sports Club, but they go hard so I can't really hate.
My gym has a cardio theater which I never use. I wish they had more racks
That is certainly a bonus. All the curl bros scared away a lot of the girls from the weight area of my gym.

You can do it in 8 if your nutrition and recovery are on point.
Let's fuck this shit up.
It really is, there's one in particular that I look at like this
Everyone looks when she walks by.
Such a noob, everyone knows you do tricep kickbacks on the bench, make sure to grunt as loud as possible too.

Just want to put this out there: FUCK people who super-set with multiple pairs of dumbbells during crowded-as-fuck peak time in the gym. They are maybe one level in hell above the guys who curl in the squat rack. Maybe.
When it's already hard as fuck to find a bench and the proper set of weights, these fuckers monopolize 2, 3, or sometimes even 4 different sets of dumbbells for extended sets that last forever. One doucheshit today was using the 35s, 40s, and 45s for like half an hour, probably three of the most commonly used weights.
Seriously, fuck those people. Get to the gym at 6am if you want to pull that bullshit.

I take this would be with strict SS and 200g+ of protein a day? What comes to rest, is the point more 8h sleep or days off lifting? Those numbers are fantastic targets for me too, I would be so stoked to hit them.
I don't see the problem there, dude's just trying to condense his workout so he can do his barbell rows at the same time as his deadlift. That's efficiency.
What's your goal today?
My goal: don't look like this while getting a PR. My form's pretty good. Hopefully that won't change without any sleep.
