Who works out?

[Acebot44]

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.

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.

Leg Press means nothing when your saying how much you can lift, IMO. I think squats are a much better way to tell of somebody's leg strength.

Agree leg lifts are at a 75% incline so they don't actually tell you how much you can lift. Squats on the other hand and power presses are something entirely diffrent they tell you if your upper and lower body are in good condition.. Another good thing to check your total body is hangclean and dead lift.


Bench doesn't mean much aside from ooh I loook perdy.. In highschool I was able to lift 225 max . But I could squat 375.. and could power press 270. What I do now isn't about the weight because that doesn't really build muscle nearly as well as reps do. Now (if I work out) I do reps to 100 with 25 pounds. (again if I can get to 100 props to me) In 1 min sets.. I'm not in the best physical condition but I beat alot of guys that are younger than me.. And typhoid before you go dissin on stu post a picture of yourself because I hate a person who can't back up their claims.

i work out.

20 minute run 3 x per week.

Bicep/Tricep/Chest/Shoulder work out 3x per week

Boxing one time per week. Which is a boxing class that really works out everything. Boxing, running, situps, pushups, focus pads, boxing baga etc.

[Canyarion]

I work out on a freelance base.

Whenever I feel like it (a few times a week) I do some push- and sit-ups.
