Re: The gym thread - CJ_Derv - 16-06-2013
Im trialling a workout my PT has given me and to put good size but lean up also were hitting it hard
You typically think id do my 50kg dumbells for 8, so I warm up doing 20 x 8, 30 x 8, 40 x 8, 50 x 8 sound familiar?
Why do that?
The 40 x 8 has cost you two reps woth the 50's
So next time warm up like this, 20 x 5, 30 x 3, 37.5 x 2, 45 x 1....55 x 8
No waste of energy jogging, lots of reps!
No taking away from thr top set which is all that matters!!
Well thats what im trialling and seeing excellent results with carb reduction and 8th day treat day some days as low as 50 grams of carbs and can feel the depletion setting in already lol

I keep saying I'm going to join the gym but Cba! Not bothered about getting fit like my junk food too much, just wanted to build some muscle up
Lifting engines and boxes in and out of cars every day 6 days a weeks enough for me

Im the same but then just pushed myself one day and thought sod it, i do about a hour and 20 of weights and half hour cardio as im a big fella dropped near a stone in 5 weeks but putting on the weight on in muscle to be more defined its easier when you got a friend to go with.
Good luck and get off your arse and still eat the food

3256 calories

Re: The gym thread - CJ_Derv - 08-07-2013
Good plan that if bulking wouldnt a ratio of 2:1 carbs be better for optimum repair? As thats slightly under the ratio ?
Just wondering I know how you said its a quick one you threw together lol
Whos got progress pics also? Show us how well your doing!? Il get some soon as managed to lose a stone in 5 weeks but back in gym full time again so should be putting some good lean size on
Just working out diet atm but using USN anabolic protein, USN Anabolic creatine, USN Testo booster, BCAA's, ZMA USN night shake. And other stuff :p

Ideally I'd have a 40/40/20 ratio of proteins/carbs/fats respectively as this seems to be the standard procedure for formulating diet plans but I suppose it's all down to meeting your individual requirements through learning your body
envy my training partners ability to eat well under or just at maintenance cals and still manage to smash new PR's every 2-3 weeks though! Trying to keep this one a bit cleaner, went from 145lbs to 178lbs between October last year and April, but gained a lot of fat! All a learning curve though, just come off a cut leaving me at 162lbs so ready to get growing again
How do you find the USN stuff? I'm thinking of buying some of the 100% whey from them for my post workout, bought a sample shake at the gym and it was pretty tasty! If you haven't already look at the Impact whey by MyProtein, £15.99 per kg (£13.99 unflavoured) and 82% protein content is pretty good value for money
Re: The gym thread - CJ_Derv - 09-07-2013
Ive been doing this for a good few years and tended to drift away from my protein to be honest as to get all the suppliments I need from the actual protein would cost a fortune and dont rate their protein that much, im currently at 15st 6 and 12% bf but want to get down to about 7/8% but that in itself is a challenge im doing the same diet as last year when I was going to compete until I had a bad car crash and I got down to 5% from 18 in just over 7 weeks but that was difficult with carb depletion and my job as kept losing focus quite often due to lack of carbs some days going as low as 40g throughout the day, I find the anabolic usn awesome for lean mass building but I do have a protein from my gym which has 60g protein 4g carbs for the low days also ive started prep too late this year for competing in september in leeds but next year I may go for it
The thing with proteins such as myprotein which you say has 82% protein content but what else are you taking for your body to actually utilise that 82% cos if your not taking other supps to enhance protein synthesis its pretty pointless as your just pissin it out other end

Looking at some BCAA supps at the minute and the reviews sound pretty good, £20 for 500g at bulkpowders which should last me a month if I have 3 5g servings a day
I already have some l-glutamine powder which I found was very good for recovery, should I take this as well (same 15g a day) as the BCAAs or do I no longer 'need' to be taking that as well?
Will probably redo the diet plan to get closer to a carbs 50%, protein 30% and fats 20% at least while bulking :p Aiming for 190lbs/13st 8 by October 2014 so need to be gaining about half a pound of overall mass a week, try and make it as small a cut as possible next time around

Im trialling the BCAA from myprotein but extra strength tabs 1500mg iirc id stay on the glutamine and get some taurine alll aids absorbtion pal have you tried beta-alanine? Its a woerd one to get used to as you get a very strong tingling sensation but iv found it helps in them last few reps, I highly recommend it for training have a readup on it,
Im currently looking into new products as just like training routines your body gets used to stuff so want to try new stuff so if you can recommend anythin bud let me no
New PB last nite 60kg flat press for 8 clean reps

Went in my 1st year of uni so just over 2 half years ago, went from 15'9st to 13'9st over 6~7 months. Today I'm sitting at 13st, but all the muscle I built has came and gone.
Was doing "Starting Strength" - bench, squat, deadlift and overhead press (IIRC).
Probably just start that again and do 30 min's cardio after each session as I still have fat to burn through.
It's only 3 minute drive down the road so should be doing 5 days a week at least - which doesn't fit in that well with Starting Strength from what I can remember.
To be honest the first few days will probably be a nightmare as I figure out what I need to be doing.
Re: The gym thread - CJ_Derv - 10-07-2013
Ahh f*ck the cardio off pal if you eat right and train right its not neccessary
Starting strength what you quote aint just start strength thats ya bread and butter lad :
I make sure I squat, deadlift, military press at least once a week and if possiboy fit a few more sets in per week currently training chest and back twice a week and arms twice a week atm goin balls out haha
But I mite add only doing 4 push movements in one sesh and 4 pull movements on other day per body part
RE: The gym thread - cwspellowe - 10-07-2013
Well.. made a start on the 100 pushup challenge today. Not quite gym-y but curious to see how far I can get.
Initial test: 14 (could have pushed to about 17 but didn't want to set the bar too high in week 1)
Week 1 day 1 column 3 10/12/7/7/10 (max)
Forgot what it was like to have wobbly arms

Thought i would post in here, my and the fiancee got a free day pas for a gym just down road so thought we would try it out, Been today and was quite fun even tho im the un fittest person in the world but spent a good hour and half trying different things out. When i come out i felt great
SO gonna sign up next week, im at my heaviest ive ever been bordering around the 21 stone. put most my weight on after stopping smoking. So hoping gym will get my weight down agin
RE: The gym thread - Anton - 19-07-2013
Been doing bench, bicep curls and press ups for a lil while now, however still need to lose a lot of weight.
Doing the 100 press up challenge like Pellowe!
Re: The gym thread - CJ_Derv - 19-07-2013
Chris most people find that they put weight on when they quit smoking because they replace that habbit with eating more often
Stick it out lad research fat burning rather than cardio
Im cycling my carbs in diet and getting good results dropped from 16st2 6 weeks ago to 14st10 and just from diet and weights no cardio ( which doesnt actually lose weight) low resistance training is the real fat burner ie low rpm on bike for few hours slight incline walk for an hour or 2 on treadmill
RE: The gym thread - 306Puggy - 19-07-2013
Holy f*ck, I've lost 4 kg since working full time for Royal Mail, I used to be jacked (for my build) now I am thin again
Gone down from 13st to 12st 9lb. Edit: Partially the boxing training as well though, back when I was at uni when I was 14st I could hardly go 30 seconds without getting puffed out!

Amazing what a difference a new gym can do... Joined new gym and I can do the routines I want the way I want using what I want.
Been there nearly 2weeks and weights have increased, overall weight stayed the same but more definition starting to show!
RE: The gym thread - lewisdmz - 19-07-2013
Not quite gym related but what type of food should you be eating after riding a bike for about 3hrs? I was thinking protein to help muscles recover but also carbs?
