yeah im a gym rat... been hitting it hard lately... 30minutes to an hour of cardio atleast 5 times a week... but before i do that i hit weights first... focusing a lot on upper body mostly... bis tris traps chest and abs...

 

[mbaoo]

Same here. I seriously neglect cardio though. I used to get it two days a week playing beach volleyball for a hour or so. But school is out for another two-three weeks. So I cant play till then.

I hate running, can never will myself to do it.

Deerhunt, why the HGH/steroids all of a sudden? I thought you were practically all natural for a while. Hit a plateau?

PS - you ever try out bodyspace on bodybuilding.com to track your progress? I just started that. Seems pretty cool.

Agreed, at least as far as benching goes. I think my deadlift and Squat are satisfactory but Id rather my flat bench be somewhere closer to 300 pounds. Still working on it. I can't really explain it except Ive always had naturally strong arms. They grow and get stronger without much effort, everything else takes alot of work. Chest is definitely a weakpoint for me. Other than that I think a nearly 400 pound deadlift and a 330 pound squat are pretty reasonable. I'm not trying to win either strongman OR bodybuilding competitions.

Well. You are leagues about me thats for sure.

My max bench is 170. I went for 180 a lil while ago but couldn't complete the rep without a little assistence. When I first started benching I could only do the bar with a 10 on each side.

Im a skinny dude. But, Im fairly balanced out strength wise, nothing is abnormally weak. My arms are my strong point I think. I can curl 50's. I have no idea what I can do squating or with deadlifts though. I rarely do squats and Ive never deadlifted in my life.

Deadlifts are awesome. Just started them a few weeks ago. Started off with 185x5. Now I'm at 235x5 and going up quick. Could probably do a little more but don't want to push it too much too early. Trying to keep the best form possible. Plus with squats I JUST started going a$$ to ground, or at least parallel to the ground for them. None of that hack-squating pu$$y $hit anymore... hah

I still am all nature. I was just kidding about the steroids/hgh. I stated that in a following post.

And i have an account but never filled out my bodyspace. Guess i need to get around doing it. Wish I would have started one two years ago when I finally decided to get big.

I just said that cause my maxes are a good bit higher and I never curl more than 45pound dumbells. Curl 95lbs for 8 reps with the straight bar.

I literally feel poop coming out every time I deadlift. Just something I got used too. lol. I am on and off and deadlifts. Do them for 10-12 weeks, start another program and don't do them. I believe I am keeping them in all the time now though.

ATG with squats is the way to go. I did half squats and such before just b/c i liked the bigger weight i could lift. Every since i started going ATG I have noticed better gains and a better pump.

I hear you on the body space... I wish I started mine so I had numbers on all my lifts back when I originally decided to get big. I still see increases in my lifts though (besides anything shoulder related, blah... torn posterior labrum = teh ****, I gotta have surgery in the summer for it so there goes lifting for a few months afterwards). Deadlift is going up like crazy. I still do have progress pics up though which is insane considering the change I made. I love it. hah

Yeah, pics always help motivate me. Also helps knowing i went from 170-200lbs with less body fat than i had at 170.

My gains come very small now, but i don't want to lose what i already have so i still hit it full throttle.
