Fucking awesome workout

Clean and Press 120lbs x 3 x 5
Squat 240 x 3 x 5
Deadlift 265 x 5

Then I decided to see how high I could go

335 deadlift. New pr. RAWR

Ya, ive done that before, im pretty sure it was a fracture of sorts…felt like a fracture i had before.



Ya, that was me who said that before haha. Asswads

I'm not being defensive, I was just stating a fact. I don't talk to gym people, I don't know the lingo. If I was going to be defensive, I wouldn't have asked the question.

Just tried out the YMCA at Langara today and mehhh....

Really? I thought it was a decent gym. Pretty much have everything in there you need.

The people there just bug me though...

lol I go to the Y @ Langara... it sucks compared to other gyms honestly... gonna start going to the YMCA downtown, suppose to be nice

It's a decent gym, but I feel like I could have gotten the same workout at some shitty community center gym.

You are right about the people there though. I was doing some dumbbell lateral raises and some guy goes right in front of me and starts doing bicep curls with heavier dumbbells.
I'm guessing this is an attempt to show me up? I hope he realizes were working on different muscles.

Yeah. Not only that. Its just horrible watching some of the people there work out. They have the worst form or lift weights that they obviously cannot lift. Its funny cause they have a PE or HKIN teacher in there and he doesn't notice these things at all or try to help them better their workouts.

YMCA in downtown is just as bad as well.

The equipment is the Signiature Series of Life Fitness which I wasn't feeling either. They're barbells have bearings in them. So when you bench press for example, the weights on the side start to slowly turning in either direction. Its weird and it throws me off when I bench or do other exercises. Plus there are a lot of guys in there who think they're the strongest and like to show you up. Its quite sad.

I could go on all day about YMCA.

I'll stick with Golds. Good equipment with nice and helpful people (Random heat bags and/or Guidos walk in here in there, but still super nice).

Yeap.

First "real" workout was great! Did one "plate" and a bit for 25 reps on deadlifts. Of course, the "plates" are slightly different here, since they are in kg. So my "plate" here is 25 kg, or 55 lbs... so.... 90 my total, iincluding bar (are we supposed to include the bar?) Anyway, that's my bodyweight approximately, so I'm happy with that as my starting point for deads BRO~! ;)

nothing wrong with not knowing what the word noob means. just means your a noob

Which muscle group(s) do you guys least like to work out? For me, it's the calves and abs. Still do them but I don't look forward to doing them like I do with the other muscle groups.

Yea, count the bar. The bar is usually 45 lbs.

bars can be anywhere from 35-45lbs with collars

The bars I use say 20kg on them.. so 45 lbs

Definitely going to need the next 2 days off.. but man I don't want to stop!

Legs and abs!!!!

Abs aren't even important to work out. 3-4 sets twice a week is good enough.

Biceps.

I never do calf-specific workouts, and abs I usually just do a few dozen crunches at the end of a workout as an afterthought.

I hate doing arms + legs the most

I used to hate doing arms too, but then I started doing Overhead Presses for shoulders, which is probably my favourite upper body lift, and weighted dips/JM press for triceps.

Still hate curls.

I found that working abs on a consistent basis helped to raise my deadlift and squat.

Yeah curls and just smaller muscle groups seem like such a waste of a workout day

back and abs

does wrists/grip count? i hate working on that... never improves.

Did bis and tris today. After doing weighted dips, normal dips are so easy.

I'd say my least favorite to work out is legs/biceps...you really have to push yourself, there's no fucking around on a leg day.Not to mention having to deal with 2 days of body pain. My protocol is to squat until i get really dizzy. Arnold says he would squat till he passed out, wake up 10 minutes later, then squat some more.But i'd rather put up with all that so im not another chicken legged gym idiot. I dont understand this obsession with bicep curls, the only workout they get is on back days. Giant facepalm to anybody here who has a "bicep day" :facepalm:

Now for the favorite excersises: Bench (barbell/dumbell), dumbell shoulder press, barbell back row, t-bar row, jm press

purple intrain is on wheycheap if anyone wants to try a intra workout
