Brutus_G said:I would never stretch before weightlifting, it usually makes one weaker while warming up before makes you stronger.
incline dumb bell press - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 5 reps at x2 80 lbsPR
set #2 - 1 rep at x2 80 lbs What happened here man? Everything else was good though i mean 2 reps at 200 pounds is good at 170ish.
KelJu said:I don't warm up, but I do stretch at least. Maybe that is why my shoulder went to hell in a hand basket two months ago.
Maybe I will start doing warm-up sets.
Brutus_G said:wow 315 is great man. I'm catching up to you on pull ups lol. It's funny your only like 10-12 pounds more than me yet are so much stronger.
Brutus_G said:I guess our goals are a little different. Which i respect getting stronger and power lifting. My goal is purely looking big with or without the strength. I realize that to get big one must lift heavy ass weights so don't get me wrong.
Lol light weight jk man. I eat on a bulk diet i eat 114g turkey 1 whole grapefruit 2 bowls of oatmeal(water weighs more than oatmeal) 1 whole egg and 16 almonds lol i eat like a powerlifter Chuck did it to me. My biggest meal is 1 cup of turkey 2 cups of oatmeal 3 cups of water or it's dry 3cups of veggies 1 medium apple and 16 almonds lol.fufu said:Yeah. They are both very hard to achieve. With pure bodybuilding you gotta eat so much. I used to be just about bodybuilding and I remember stuffing myself so much. It got to me after a while. I can remember my breakfasts, 2 whole eggs, 1 1/2 cups of egg white, 4 peices of whole grain toast...everyone morning. I still eat alot but it isn't as much of an issue of volume anymore. I plan on just eating over maintenance slightly for a while and gain size and strength.

I'd have MUCH more trouble downing all those eggs/egg whites than I would the bread and oatmealfUnc17 said:I used to have a 10 egg omelet, 8 whites 2 whole. 4 slices WW toast, a cup of oatmeal, 1 TBSP of natty pb. every morning...talk about carbs...
I throw up just thinking about it.

Well, what I do is fix my eggs eat them, fix my egg whites eat them, make the oatmeal, eat it, and then get my cottage cheese... That way everything's fresh/hot.fUnc17 said:The eggs were the easy part. By the time I finished the eggs and toast my oatmeal was completely dried up and disgusting... not very appealing. And then the peanut butter was the worst of all, I had eaten so much food before the PB that it wouldnt even go down, lol.

shiznit2169 said:Why not just cook the eggs and eat them. When you finish, then make the oatmeal and eat it. When it comes to the PB, have water with you. Whenever i eat it, i swallow it down with water or otherwise it's gonna get stuck in my throat and i can't get it down. I hate that feeling.
fufu said:lawl it is funny what we put ourselves through. I can remember several times eating to the point where my body was like "fuck this!", but I just kept stuffing it down. Then shitting twice a day was always fun. I remember once I made up a ton of scrambled eggs and I had to do something after I made them and when I came back I had to eat this huge plate of cold eggs.
It is funny how my idea of diet has come about too. I used to eat so shitty and now I worry about things like putting too much olive oil in my organic whole wheat spaghetti!
...and on that note. Time to eat. I am going to try eggs and salsa today.
shiznit2169 said:Wow, are you my lost twin? I basically have the same mindset you have now. I used to eat junk all the time back then but now i constantly worry about the timing of my meals and getting those carbs/protein/fats in AND drinking lots of water.
The average shits i take i day is 3-4 .. no joke. It sucks.

My friends think I'm being oversensative to what I eat and shit but most people don't realize how much your diet effects you. Once you can manipulate it you can do anything with your body.
KelJu said:I think we are all in that mind state now. My parents didn???t monitor what I ate when I was a kid. My mother is one of the best southern cooks of all times. Every night, my mom fixed stuff like fried chicken, with mash potatoes, cornbread, collard greens, and homemade squirrel gravy. God damn that shit was good. I weighed as much in the seventh grade as I do now. I was a rolly polly.
Now I am in tip top shape. I will not eat anything unless I know the nutritional breakdown of the food. If I taste sugar, I will spit food out.
It is a complete 180.
that is why these forums are so important to me. My driends just don;t understand why I do what I do, so I come to you guys for a feeling of belonging again.
fufu said:I know IM is the only place I can talk about shit. I try not to talk about lifting around my friends because they usually think I am trying to impress them. It is such a big part of my life it is hard not to talk about.
Brutus_G said:lucky can you get your shoulders sore easily? I agree IM is the place i come to be around like minded people like me. People look at me weird when i squat. People ask me if I'd like some candy or sweet i say no. People stare when i eat out of Tupperware containers that have veggies in them with lean protein. I throw away the bun at BBQ and get odd looks. But at IM I'm normal everyone here does similar stuff and this forum is my way of just speaking the same language with people.
