Hey I used to do that too until I figured some time well spent could save me 50% or more $.
It's just M-F stuff anyways right.

Also at the gym today, help spot a guy who did 3 reps @ 565 lbs for bench. He had some sort of sleeve but still. Fucking impressive. He was a former football player. Played for the Rams back in the day.

You know that horrible feeling when you're like, "Fuck, I think I hurt myself really badly doing this" after an exercise?
Yeah.
Yeah.

Hahaha, no, when I do get mine?Is it my pizza penis?
Well yeah, this has always been mos of FitGAF, not a lot of aesthetic focused guys around and I think that's great. I was more upset at all the judgmental remarks.

I'm ready to get to be somewhat aesthetic starting in Feb!

Probably gonna have a pound of ground beef and broccoli later after this 2800 calorie appetizer. Should put me at 5500-6000 cals for the day and I won't even gain a pound...
189lbs after work, this fucking job...
I'm middle of the road since I always have abs, my body fat can change drastically in a week depending on work, diet and how often I lift.

The main bodybuilder/trainer in my gym can't seem to accept that I don't care to be lean or have abs. He keeps trying to get me to get on his plan and I tell him I'm fine/happy with what I'm doing. I don't care for abs or striations of any sort. That's not to say I'm happy being super fat. But I can handle that just fine. He also wants me to start taking prohormones lol.
A bunch of randoms came Into thread and shitted it up. Happens from time to time.
So many jokes crossed my mind regarding this pic.

So many hot dogs! God damn lol.
And I think that's the look I will try to stick with. Middle of the road, have abs, can be more or less depending on diet and workout. Best of both worlds.
I didn't get a chance to comment on that but I thought it was a legitimate question. Everyone has their personal preferences. From what I have seen on what an "ideal body" is on the public eye, it isn't for me. They all look too skinny. But that's just my thoughts.

Don't give a shit about "ideal body" I'm about performance and happiness.
Dude injures himself every week and a half that's what!
my mom told me today she thinks I should strive to have David Beckham's body...>_> ....I said, "Mom, that guy is skinny as hell.." she said " Are you out of your mind?? he looks great!"
I realized I've been moving away from the bodytypes society considers aesthetic, I do want to see some definition around Spring/summer 2014 in my body, I've been working out a year, eating and lifting and I want to see the gains so far and shed the fat but I want to get big/muscled too and I want to keep getting stronger.
then a friend who is anti-workout said a burly pianist will look laughable in a frack -_-
you know, whatever, it's not like anything substantial will happen overnight.
Hahaha, no, when I do get mine?

Ah that. I tried my best to stand up for the fitbros.
You know that horrible feeling when you're like, "Fuck, I think I hurt myself really badly doing this" after an exercise?
Yeah.
Deadlifts?
It's a balance of what makes you happy. If you don't care about aesthetics, go for it. If your SO doesn't care about them either, even better. My wife has commented multiple times she prefers me looking bigger and stronger and feels more "protected".
Farmers walk conditioning starts the end of February anyway. I should have the money for the handles by then. Walking around my neighborhood continuously should work up a nice sweat.
Well, to be fair, someone who is anti-workout would probably also say a burly "anybody" would look pretty laughable too. So fuck them and their anti-burliness, is basically what I am trying to say.
Happy new year! Starting off right by going to a party that will have 2 gallons of chili.
Also bringing two of these bad boys.
I thought I'd try making one of these myself, it tastes awesome. Thank you for sharing the recipe

That looks crazy good. Mind posting the recipe?Also bringing two of these bad boys.
I also didn't make the dough, I used the pillsbury pizza dough that comes in a pop can.
Well damn, good thing I didnt buy it. Its just that I spent the entire month not consumming milk and was wondering, I'll stick with my chocolate milk.

I laughed because it's so true.
Anyway, I was exaggerating a bit before, I think I'm okay (long story).
bad day at the gym, failed on my OHP 5x3, I should come better prepared ( EAT and SLEEP) next time.
can you guys believe the floor in and around the only power rack in this shitty gym I am going to is uneven?? how can that possibly happen? people should sue them, it's very, very dangerous.
but the power rack is such a hardcore, exotic piece of equipment that nobody uses it so nobody complains. ;-(

Hey, Brolic, when do you do your farmer's walks?
Throw it in on a non-lift day, or a lift day after your big lifts?

Just as an addendum; pictures. I still got a gut, and my jawline is veeeerry soft (though thats not in the pictures), so I don't know, how to play this out really. Can I bulk and not get too fat? I've done tons of reading, but I'm still baffled probably more because I don't want to get fat, lol. It feels like at my weight I should, but looking at myself, it doesnt feel like it.

impresive!
Since you're a total noob, stick to a beginner program, stay VERY consistent and keep adding weight to the bar every single lifting session.
For cheap food, can't go wrong with eggs, chicken, rice and dark green frozen vegetables.
Don't sweat cuts, bulks, and going out every once in a while to have fun. You are a beginner, a sperm as far as your lifting life is concerned. You haven't even been ejaculated out of the penis of the lifting gods yet. Eat well. Sleep like a baby and stay consistent on your lifting.

Fitness friends, let's talk about underwear. Have you ever ripped yours while doing squats? I could feel the thread around my thighs snapping today. I'll be discontinuing these boxers shortly (the last actual boxers I own). Now I need to invest in some more boxer briefs.
Haha he's one of yhe trainers yhete, pribably thought he might have to intervene.
Thanks guys
I stay in boxer briefs and compression shorts, never ripped any. When i first started playing rugby and squatting i noticed my legs were stretxhing out my underwear a lot. Had to start buyin them bigger.
Just lift and eat, man. If I were you I'd want to acquire mass in general (muscle and some fat)
Funny you should bring that up. I've been pretty uncomfortable in boxers for the last little while now. I got some boxer briefs for Christmas and they are so much better. Much more comfortable, and I don't seem to feel them as much as I did with boxers. Not only better for lifting imo, but just all around, in general.
I've ripped more than one pair from squatting or deadlifting. I think I am moving away from them in general because they suck for running, and they usually bunch around the thighs for squats and deads.

too ez
Also, I saw that you said push workout. How many times are you doing a push workout? I'm trying to do push/pull/legs twice a week for 6 days total. Curious as to how you are doing it.
boxer briefs > boxers or briefs
I'm really tired today. Sleepy tired. Was gonna head to the gym at lunch but just want to sleep instead. Prolly come home, nap, energize myself, the legs legs legs.
Lol. As a noob I'm glad to hear that.
Obvious solution is not to wear pants and underwear while lifting,
Boxer briefs > Briefs > Commando > Boxers

Get compression shorts for lifting. I usually buy something like this. I have about 4 pair which is enough to get me through a weeks worth of lifting.

beastly... i liked how the guy just looked to see if you needed help and said nahhh and walked away lol
Okay so I started doing the beginners exercises outlined in the OP, and another few questions came up.
When you are suppose to do 3 sets of 5 or whatever, does that mean you do one exercise 5 times, then add weight or something, then another 5 times, and then again for a third time? Or do you do it 5 times, move onto a different exercise, then come back to it 2 more times?
Also, this first time, doing the beginners exercise, I barely broke a sweat. Should I have continued or am I suppose to do this really small exercise for a while?

I don't get it. Then why not just say "Do 15 squats"?
I use that for squatting.. but I had to overcome thoughts about showing too much ass, not bragging or anything but my butt is big as it is and when I squat, it looks massive.
I take video every so often to check form and I think "damn..." lol
but it has to be done, all other shorts don't provide the kind of freedom I get from the compression shorts. I never squat wearing anything else.
Among other reasons, because if you follow the program, all main compounds will start to kick your ass sooner than later and you will not be able to do 15 reps of anything, other than very low weight warm-up sets.
