I wish to christ i would of kept working out after high school football, lol i just realized how out of shape i am. It's been 10 years lol, Maybe its time to get back in the gym? Alex, how do you like the atvantage club?

[Alex L.]

Advantage Club is great. Good people going there, always willing to lend a hand for a spot, advice, or anything else. If you're thinking of starting, shoot me a PM and maybe we can work out together.

[Mattsn2o281]

will do. i'm gonna have to start from scratch though lol, i doubt i could even put up 200lbs anymore and thats going to piss me off. But yea i'll see whats up, i know my dude kevin was talking about goin there so we might be able to get a lil group going there.

[Alex L.]

Definitely. I lift with Calvin Miles over there, dude's badass. Don't be disappointed at anything there dude, i could barely put up 135 like a year ago.

[NTHER91]

But a false statement with no backing. Nice try though, it may work better next time.

 

 

where is my statement false??? i didnt refer to anyone on here as far as you guys know at all so you are making an assumtion aka an ass of yourself

 

 

this is the problem and it proves my point little guys that go to the gym feel that they need to prove somethign to someone. i didnt even ask a question or call you a liar just made a statement and then a "little" guy got all butt hurt about it

[Alex L.]

You said that most people are lying about it. I didn't start this thread to brag or lie about anything; I started it for people who work out to compare numbers, talk lifting, and get/give advice. There was not one negative post in here until you came along and said people were lying. I was being honest about my stuff, and from my experiences at the gym and seeing stuff firsthand, I don't think anyone else is lying in here.

 

I go to the gym to get bigger, get stronger, and because I like to go. I'm not trying to prove jack shit to anyone. There are guys that go to the gym that I go to that make the average person look like an ant. I really don't have anything to brag about or be proud of, but I figured that since lifting and working out is a very popular thing to do in this society that I would start a thread about it.

 

I'm not butthurt about anything, and thanks for putting "little" in quotation marks. I'm not big by a long shot, but I think that I outgrew being called little some time ago.

 

Did I make myself clear enough for you?

[NTHER91]

i uses "little" cuz you all did. i never said you lied about anything you in fact were just fine. i was saying you will find that alot of people lie about what they put up. then the pole smoker got all butt hurt. as you get older you will see what i am talking about

i doubt you want to get to 3%, that is close to killing yourself, not to mention losing control of your bowl functions.

you probably mean 5-7%

here is a good guide on what bodyfat percentages really are.

its for a show.... most pros are 3-5% at the time of show.

[kirks5oh]

almost 32 years old

5'10"

down from 247lbs to 225lbs

 

bench-- 225lbs for 28-31 reps

275lbs for 14-16 reps

315 for 7-8 reps

 

those are the max reps i can do for each weight--my average routine is 135X10, 185X12, 225X13, 275X13-16, and 225X20-25

 

incline-- 120lb dumbbells for 8-10

 

military press 100lb dumbbells for 7-10 reps

 

no squats, no deadlifts

 

back when i worked out every day (and weighed more, i could hit 225lbs for 43 reps.

 

no e-lying here. did one cycle of creatine in college, but never anything else--no protein, no bullshit creams, pills, etc.

i'd gladly trade positions with someone who naturally weighs 180lbs no matter what they eat, and is of completely average build.

[Alex L.]

That's crazy.....43 reps @ 225. What do you think your max is/was?

3% is fine for short periods my client was actually about 2.7% day before his comp in oct...5-7 is much healthier for sure... And your right about losing function of organs as well as losing protection of organs...Most professional Athletes in Track ,BBall are right around 3%

 

 

What Comp are you doing? Ohio Northern Natural Nationals?

[2pointslow]

I havent decided yet we will see what comp i end up doing.

most professional athletes in track, bball etc. are around 8-15%, you loose allot of strength and stanima below 8%

 

remember this is 3% how many people get that low, even for competitions.

[Alex L.]

I DEFINITELY wouldn't want to have my bodyfat level be that low. All the shit that goes into a show just doesn't seem worth it to me. I don't want to see my kneecaps and vein structure.

That is fucking disgusting. FTGL (Fuck That Guy's Life)

[SSick06]

haha aight man..thats bodybuilding you dont loose stamina below 8...I have worked with multiple pro athletes as well as D1 college athletes I guarantee they were all below 8 probably not much but 3-8% is a definite range...i dont think you can compare because of those people have so much muscle mass it makes them look even more lean but i think if there were a pic of Jordan he was 5% and under even after he came back the 2nd time was at 4% by the season and he didnt look terribly skinny...i did just take skin folds of a guy i know he was 5% and he lifts and thats it eats whatever and no cardio...

That's crazy.....43 reps @ 225. What do you think your max is/was?

 

my max was never impressive given my weight at the time (240's) and the # of times i could throw 225 around--most i ever did was 405, just to say i put 4 plates on each side. i never really went above 315, and i could do that 12-15 times at my peak. i never had a spotter--just would work out by myself or with my wife, so i never pushed the limit.

 

now, i just want to avoid getting hurt, while trying to get in some kind of shape (besides round).

big props to you man, didn't know you were a fellow lifter, and a strong one at that. gj

[Alex L.]

That's still pretty nuts Kirk. That high of reps on that heavy of a weight is just absurd.
