Why gamers are a great fit at the gym - CNN.com

Just joined Fitocracy, noticed Sonick and Strykn in the RS group by themselves lol. We could do the weekly challenges in there and get something (points) for them

lol yea I started it when it first launched but it got boring and lame.

Either my grandma washed my raw denim when i wasn't home or my legs got fatter. ZOMFG :(

How many of you guys like jumping rope?

do you guys use belts for squats?

im starting to test out 2 plates (i weigh 150), but i really feel the pressure on my lower back when im doing the exercise

contemplating whether to do less weight w/o belt, or more weight w/ belt, dont wanna snap some shit up

I feel the same, lower back is hella sore. But i wouldnt use a belt until i really have to. Im thinking i have to strengthen my lowerback.

if your lower back cant handle 2 plates and you decide to start wearing a belt now, how will your lower back ever be able to handle 3 plates? 4?

maybe try doing some lower back exercises and strengthen your lower back abit. and make sure your form is right on your squarts.

uh belt for 2 plates.... NO dont even think about it

gonna head to the gym tonite for the first time in a week and a half. wrist is buggered. gonna try to work around it. if not, steroids. srs. not srs. semi srs.

Fatter or bigger? Yeah work on your lower back more. Even at 150lbs, 2 plates shouldn't put that much strain on your lower back.

went gym today for the first time in a week n half, fuck i hate it :okay: couldnt give 100% and everything seemed to lack. Needa get back into it, dam work :alone:

Took last week off for rest, this week I caught a cold....:fuuuuu:. Was looking forward to working out during my rest week. Now I'm sick. More time playing games? lol

got a pretty good wrist brace. had it wrapped up pretty solid.

good workout! fuck injuries.

i got all you biches beat
one month of drinking and eating shit food, no gym

last night was first time back, i think i lost about a year worth of work right there

fuck yeah

*cries*

:O

Update on my deadlift progress:

Few weeks ago posted my 495 deadlift. Felt unusually strong and motivated today ripped up 525 today @ 185.5. It was a grinder and wasn't pretty but feelsgoodman.
One day I will achieve super saiyan status like Strykn and Hal0 and rep the smaller guys :)

Feeling under the weather while working out

Le die

had an odd workout today
squats went down by like 20lbs but deads went up by 10 :S
guess i just wasnt feeling it at the start of my workout

Mirin some the numbers you guys are DLing. I'm stuck @ 3 plates (315lbs).

Try switching to sumo deadlifts for a while and do some good mornings. Those really helped strengthen my hip drive and lower back.

Thats awesome you lift more than guys I know who are 200+ lbs, can only hope im anywhere near that when I get to 185.

Congrats on the deadlift!

I've had some mixed perspectives on breathing but I'd like to hear what you guys think. On one hand I hear people saying to inhale on the negatives and exhale on the positive (push/pull) whereas others say to do the opposite.
I personally inhale - / exhale +.

It feels a million times more natural blowing out hard when you're straining rather than breathing in.

today, deadlift 185x5, 205x5, 215x5, 235x5, 240x5, havent plateaued yet, never tried rackpulls before would you guys recommend them as a substitution for dl once i get stuck at a weight?

finished off workout with some wide grip pull ups, barbell curls, dumbbell curls and hammer curls with the hammercurl bar
