"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

How about you just post in H&F instead of pretending a forum whose majority population is comprised of teenage gamers cares about this subject.
I'd be willing to bet that more than a few people on the Flood are more interested in lifting than they are in necklaces, eagles, physics homework or sheep.

-Sgt. Johnson

I can bench 210.

Aren't I sexy?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

Currently 40 off from 1,000 club.

255 Bench
335 Squat
370 dead lift

I am going for it again next tuesday.

I think I did to many deadlifts and squats in my warm up.

Keep working for it! My school focused on Bench, Incline, Squat, and Cleans, so I made 1000 my sophomore year. 1200 club is a different story, however. As for warmups, last year my coach went dick mode and made us do squat jumps, a lot of them, right before we went in to max.

Nah what upset me was is that I was already in the 1k club in high school.

I just started working out again a week ago, and that is all i was able to do.


Before I quit working out my senior year ( 2007 )

I was 70 away from the 1,500 club.

I was benching 375 as a routine and my max was 405.

I was squating 440

Deadlifting 585.


I workout all natural, no pres, no creatine.

all I take is a multi and fish oil.

When you grow up with a father who is a Marine, and working on farm bailing hay, you are naturally strong.

I will never forget this one month we had to load up 100lb bales by hand without a forklift.

FML that month. Worst summer ever.

U Mirin?

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

Form > Weight

Aesthetics > everything and I win on this website at that.

OT:
Dumbbell Bench two 125s for 8
Squat: never maxed. 225 for sets of 6-8 though, just started squatting recently.
Deadlift 325x5 (also started recently)

So, I've been working on tone exercises so I can have that beach body for the Summer.
I took you seriously until this point.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

How is your squat only 40 pounds more than your bench?

I'm not trying to sound mean I'm actually curious.

Damn, you sound raw as -blam!-. I was never a big kid on the football team (6'1") so my strength worked for me. We had a few players hit 365-375 bench but not much after that. At this point though I'm trying to get toned over lifting a lot, especially since I'm tired of looking flabby and because I leave for the Army in July.

Also, no creatine or -blam!- like that for me. Most I ever took was a mix of protein and vitamins to help my muscles recover after a hard day.

I have god awfully weak legs. They're not thin or small, but I just can't manage to lift a lot of weight with them. I've tried in the past and ended up having sore knees without much of a gain. It's embarrassing, I know.

I was afraid to go any higher, I got a slipped disk in my lower back when a wheelbarrow full of Concrete tipped on me and tried to stop it. Not smart to twist your spine in that angle trying to stop 400lbs of concrete.

Well, you can't really help it if that's how your lower body is. You're definitely putting up some impressive numbers. I'm benching 220. It's nothing to show off but with my 5'6 stature with 25 marathons under my belt I'm really proud of it.

What do you plan on doing in the Army? I'm in a Marine Corps officer program right now. From the sounds of it you won't really be suffering during basic.

  • 12.19.2012 3:37 PM PDT

Haven't lifted in a few weeks cause of finals and being sick. But my bench max was 270

Best advice I can give for recovery is L-Glutamine and L Carantine.

They work wonders for muscle recovery and blood flow to the muscle groups that were under a great amount of stress.

also, ^this. This is a gaming developer's forum so don't expect much lifters around here.

  • 12.19.2012 4:04 PM PDT

I'm naturally skinny, but I've grown tired of shirts never fitting me right. I'm trying to bulk up, but I don't know where to start. I made a work out plan for physical foundations, but I'm not able to go to a gym for a while. I want to gain strength, that's just it. Any tips for getting me started?

  • 12.19.2012 4:42 PM PDT

Swag punks, fu­­ck off!

152, I'm a weakling.

  • 12.19.2012 4:45 PM PDT

Dude how the -blam!- do you lift 305 and squat 345? Don't plan on playing football if you don't have legs bro l0l.
