Alex L. Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTHER91 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 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. Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I DEFINITELY wouldn't want to have my bodyfat level be that low.

SSick06 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 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...

kirks5oh Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 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).
