Anyone else workout in here?

Quote from Matt24SPFL:

You definitely might want to sit back here and let things unfold.....

I PM'd no one but this guy b/c he inquired.

Or you can leave up your message, continue to pay on your 7.5% 30 year mortgage note, eat your "healthy choice" snacks and take your Lipitor for your 'cholesterol problem.'

I'd suggest that you just calm down and contribute to this board in a positive way.

Have a nice day.

lol. No disrespect meant...you mentioned pm's in two posts, and threw up a lot of links. And then brownsfan made his post...so you can see where one might become suspicious.

More power to you if you have no alterior motives (spam). I will continue reading with interest, and hope to learn something valuable.

:D

Dude - didn't I see you on Dateline's "To Catch A Predator" last week? I don't think that counts as "getting the girls".
 
Quote from William Rennick:

I start my workout with 6 raw eggs lightly shaken, never stirred. From there it's 15 minutes of light stretching. Next it's 50 push ups, 15 chin ups and 3 sets of 75 situps. After that it's two quick rotations of the various free weight exercises. Then it's out the front door for a one mile wind sprint through the neighborhood. This is a real treat for the local housewives as I always go shirtless. At the end of the mad dash it's off with the shoes and shorts for a commando style 25 laps in the pool. The workout usually ends with a one hour session with the still hot Mrs. Rennick. This workout has produced a legendary physique. Wide at the shoulders, narrow at the hip with massive arms. They don't call me Gunboat Rennick for nothin. :cool: :D :cool:

I started mixing in push-ups and pull-ups into my routine about a year ago - the results were amazing. My chest and arms got more definition than using free weights. Maybe I just hit a wall with free weights (I have been working out with them for 10+ years), but for anyone considering starting a workout routine, I would really focus on these "body-weight" exercises and bypass the fancy machines and even free weights...the results really shocked me.

Plus there is no expensive capital outlay for equipment or gym memberships...all you need is yourself.
 
any ideas for arm exercises? i have long arms and even though my weight levels are going up the results seem to be lacking.

a new problem is when doing squats my knee feels like its about to blow out! do you think my form is wrong or something. i actually decreased my weight level so i dont think thats the problem. try a brace maybe? thanks very much
 
"My chest and arms got more definition than using free weights" -

there is no exercise that gives your muscles more definition

definition is created by
1) genetics
2) low bodyfat
3) low subcutaneous water

but individual muscle fibers can only get bigger or smaller. period

this is very settled physiology, even though there are still gym myths like "doing higher reps gets you cut" and other such rubbish

you may have had more definition for any # of reasons (better diet resulting in less water/fat retention, etc.) but it was not because of the exercise you chose

i say this as somebody who has trained both strength sports, where 3 reps is "high repping" and bodybuilding type stuff.

anecdotally, some of the most ripped guys i have ever seen are lower bw olympic style lifters who NEVER do more than 3 reps, and mostly do singles.

That is very similar to Mike Mentzer's workout philosophy - less is more.
 
Ok ...I changed up the regime today...I ran an extra five minutes ( 25 in total)...then i hit the machines but increased the reps by 5, decreased the weight by 30lbs, and increased the sets by 2.....my fucking arms couldn't reach my head in the shower to shampoo!!! They were trembling....then i went to Church ( its Ash Wednesday boys) and i proceeded to sweat for the entire mass and the priest looked at me like i was an ogar when he wiped ashes on me...the ashes then dripped into my eye and irritated the shit out of me!!!!( you can't make this stuff up!)

So the question is, how long do you stay on this routine and should i rotate intra week or week to week with lower reps and heavier weights??? I' will read you response with my one good eye!:D
 
TM, i don't mix aerobic and an-aerobic exercises together in one session. You maybe better of alternating your regime.

As to myself, i have found aerobic better in the morning before trading for "the zone", with an-aerobic exercise, post trading.
I believe for total muscular gains an-aerobic exercise is best performed in the a.m. due to higher testosterone levels.

I'm sure Matt..nice thread matt... can correct or elaborate.
