I started doing sit-ups and push-ups at home this summer.

Tell us why you're staying at school an extra year and also tell us your work-out schedule.

I dont know how much i can bench, but i can do a bit over 500 on the leg press. I think its like, 550 or something. Im not entirely sure.

But i punch around on my heavybag alot. I just finished doing it right now. I do it for a few hours at a time a day. Its good stamina building, and it works pecs, shoulders and back muscles.

I did 550 on the leg press in grade 10. O_o Oh, gym class.

I don't "work out" per se, but I do tons of karate, stretching, running, and what have you. I'm in really good shape though I can still do way better. I'm not building anything at the moment (trying to lose more weight) but I'm toning my arms more with some 30 pound weights.

I'll take it that you're talking in kilograms..or whichever one it would be. I can do the leg press at about 110 lbs if I want to do like 10 - 15 reps. I worked out last summer, but I haven't had time this summer. I had a system and I was able to raise the weight every once in a while.

I'm just trying to get in better shape for BBall season. Doing various exercises with 20 and 30lbs dumbells and going to the gym to do some cardio and leg press which I do about 5 sets of 10 at 300lbs. My calves are really strong but if I just add some more strength to my thigh muscles I'll be flyin high again.

When I was training for the marathon about a year or two ago I could do about 350lbs on the leg press, but I never stayed in that shape and I've had shin splints for like 3 weeks :(

Day 1: Chest, Back, Deltoids, Traps
Day 2: Biceps, Triceps, Forearms
Day 3: Quads, Hamstrings and Calves
Day 4: Cardio (usually HIIT) and Abs
Day 5: Rest
Repeat.

Bench means nothing and leg press means nothing. Grow some balls guys, and start squatting. Benching is cool and stuff if your just trying to show off to your boyfriends in the gym, but it seems that guys with big bench press numbers neglect most of the other muscles in their body. If the guys who bench over 300 have good squat and deadlift numbers, then props to them.

Supplements:
Protein
L-Glutamine
Multivitmin
Vitamin C
Dextrose
Maltordextrin
Zinc
Magnesium


Post your supplements, guys.

dont take supplements, dont need suplements.

leg press means nothing? lol

720lbs says otherwise. my verticle and acceleration has increased big time over the past year from the leg press.

squats = ultimate power, yes. but to say that the leg press means nothing is stupid. the bench press, you can get away with. it's much less important.

these were my guns a few months ago

Hey Stu, take another pic where your flexing, because in that pic it just looks like your pushing the fat from behind your arms to the side against your chest to make your arms look bigger.


But thats just me.:p

I work out, but not the type of working out that means lifting heavy things. I used to back in school for football, but meh. I'll usually go to the YMCA and run a few miles on the treadmill, bike a few more, then play some basketball.
