Gym/Bodybuilding

[Nigerianrulz]

So yeah, i assume there should be at least a few of us here that goes to gym or wants to

I was thinking we could just have some general discussion here and make new threads for other topics for gym like routines and stuff

But first let us introduce ourselves in terms of gym

How long have you been going to gym/How often:
What are your goals:
Funny stories and what annoys you in gym:


For me ive just started for about a month and half
goal is obviously to get ripped or die trying but mostly for self improvement
Did i mention those dicks that dont return the weights/dumb bell after they use them, i saw this guy had about 5 pairs of dumb bell on his bench the other day and another doing dead lifts and went away for about 10 minutes leaving it there...

I hate it when girls stare at my ass all day. Why can't they go to Curves?

Every other day I run, depending on how tired I am that day will determine how far I run. Basically just go until I'm tired and know I've pushed myself. I go at a 8-9 minute mile pace (4-5 Minute Kilometer).
After a run I just do 4 sets of 15 pushups
4 sets of 20 sit ups
4 sets of 5 pull ups
4 sets of weighted squats
As I find it getting easier and easier I increase the amount I do.
The off days I don't do this I either do nothing, or do half the workout just because I'm bored.
I like this workout because I don't need a bunch of shit to do it, it has its challenge. And It is only like 30 minutes long so I don't get bored and stop halfway through

Make sure you drink a good Protein powder if you are working out. Isopure is the best!

If you are working out hard get some Creatin. Also Flax Seed oil is good to mix in with your Protein Shakes.

as long as you have enough protein in your daily meals its okay to go without but them protein shakes are some good stuff

if you're worried about time with the amount of sets you do here you can do the same amount with weights o.o but that depends on what you want to do with your body.

 

[Jaujarahje]

I just lose interest and get bored if I workout for a while since I workout alone and not with a friend. So I try to get the most out of it in a somewhat short amount of time

 

[sqrage]

I work out with weights 3 - 5 days a week.

Protein shakes are good though I don't drink them, just eat a lot of chicken and brocoli.

Not a fan of creatine, personally.

 

[Zakyath]

all you really need is food and work out. I've found that those who plan their work outs and their meals in absurdum really don't get around to lifting weights and eating enough. it's not rocket science. don't overthink it, just do it.

Are they attracted to Squares? You must be one hell of a guy...

I dont understand why guys quit gym after a while, most people that quit are those like i guess 1 - 3 months in? I'm not sure but i can't imagine people going for a year and then quitting. Who doesn't want to gain an aesthetic body thats pleasing on your eyes and hers, if you know what i mean

I tried going to the gym a year ago. Got stronger, but hated every second of it. Fortunately, I love walks. Might try running in the future.

I also join a gym but not get enough from it because i am not regular and due to this habit i can,t get any thing.

 

[Romek]

My gym is small and far away, so if I wake up too late on a day I'd want to go, I don't because it'll simply be too packed when it's no longer morning.
However, I do like to keep up my appearance and do 100 pushups and a few simple dumbbell exercises when I stay home.

When you raise both of your arms up, and held them towards the ceiling, can you see your ribcages on the sides of your chest?

I don't know how I should improve my muscles so that I can be able to hide the ribcages and make others know I'm not as skinny as I think I'm about to become.

 

[Siretu]

I've had some periods of going to the gym, but it never became a habit. I have a hard time finding motivation since I'm already pretty confident in myself. My body looks decent even if I don't work out(Tall + broad shoulders = good start). I want to find the time to start going regularly again though, until then I do some work outs at home when I have time.

i still can see my ribcages even if i don't raise my hands but its natural if you have a lower body percentage fat. Can you see the bottom of your abs? or the top?
Building your lats and chest and maybe even a bit of core and side abs will eventually 'hide' them but really seeing your rib cages doesnt mean your skinny.

I can see both of the bottom and the top of my abs, does that count as skinny?

I weight only about 70kg with a size of 175cm, does that count as skinny?

I don't go by skinny or fat, i go by body fat %. So if you can see top and bottom abs pretty clearly its most likely your on about 8 - 12% body fat which is the "ripped" physique. At that % you would not want to cut or lean down any further otherwise you will start to lose muscles. So if you put on some muscles you would ripped as fk as i would like to call it

do you work out?
