Shaolin_sword36 pg1 that shits real ghey Are those finger holes in the side grouch? also, did it just bust all of a sudden, or tear?

what if you cut your hand on it?

vettedude that shits real ghey Are those finger holes in the side grouch? also, did it just bust all of a sudden, or tear? it just burst all of a sudden, this one went really fast too, like 10-15 seconds. Might have been because i did it bare handed, I ended up getting lkike 5 little slices on my fingers

the new gripper

Take a picture of your hand and post

is that bloodon the counter after you sliced your hand open?

make a video of it =)

Filmboy44 is that bloodon the counter after you sliced your hand open? no thats just dirt. the cuts wern't to bad. kinda like when you slice yourself on a shaving razor

tize those jesus strong men POWERTEAM > you I know.

did you shake it first?

tryfuhl did you shake it first? That one fell out of my 12 pack so i didn't have to. But normally yes. It's much more of a stupid party trick than a feat of strengh. I think most people with a strong overall upper body could do it without much trouble.

Grouch That one fell out of my 12 pack so i didn't have to. But normally yes. It's much more of a stupid party trick than a feat of strengh. I think most people with a strong overall upper body could do it without much trouble. this fat football player friend of mine was doing it at a cottage party last summer with like 8 beer cans in a row....I didn't give 2 shits because I didn't drink/buy the beer...but you can imagine he was the party favorite for wasting beer

Brock Lesnar is a damn BEAST!

Brock Lesnar is a damn BEAST!

this guy is a monster..i remember seeing him on TV for the first time..i was like JESUS CHRIST! he was quite the NCAA football player to i guess...after he was done wrestling in the WWE....he tried to make a place on the Min. Vikings..but i geuss that didnt happen....i think he was cut 6'3" 286 lbs

he's a tad unproportionate

his pecs in that first pic are bothering me.

why?

looks like Andre

y0gfx why? I dunno...might be the rice I ate.

its either the pose or he looks assymetrical

404 beast not found

He never played football in college, he was the NCAA heavyweight champ though. ibhewasn'tthateither.

his traps are amazing....but his legs look awfully smooth

TheProwler his traps are amazing....but his legs look awfully smooth

he was my hero...till he got cut =(

he never played ncaa football, he was a wrestler in college a very good one

He actually hasn't played football since he was in high school. He was a wrestling champ in college (I can only assume heavyweight). Part of the problem with him not making the NFL imo, is that he was put in at DT where he is grossly undersized. But they probably put him there rather than DE because it probably takes much less cognition. I think the guy is a beast, though. Would I want to look like him? I wouldn't complain if I was, but probably not.

404 legs not found

I still like batista better <~~~ Av

Jeff Coleman 404 legs not found

couldn't find many leg shots

they must take their vitimans and say their Prayers!

batista guy is fucking massive

Brock Lesnar is a damn BEAST!

What's the pro and cons of Powercleaning?

What's the pro and cons of Powercleaning?

I mean, It's like an extended deadlift but all you brolys only do deadlift. Is there a certain reason for this?

i'll go on a limb here and say because it's more form dependent thant just strength... and have you seen how shitty the forms of some deadlifts here? That's a clusterfuck in the works if i've ever seen one.

It also a very explosive lift...which helps those fast twitch muscle fibers. Oh yea, and nothing burns my traps more than 3 to 4 sets of hang cleans/power cleans.

1.8t It also a very explosive lift...which helps those fast twitch muscle fibers. Oh yea, and nothing burns my traps more than 3 to 4 sets of hang cleans/power cleans. I tried to powerclean about 115 on wednesday (my first time) and I got it up but I believe my form was really horrendous

christophers because there's no reason to use a movement that you cannot teach yourself. the vast majority of football/sports coaches in the US cannot properly teach most oly lifts, either. yea, a few of my friends said that I could just fake it for football testing but I actually want to learn it

just use the clean pull

oh, and is it sad that i'm 5'9, 140 pounds...my max bench that I know of so far is 165x3 and my max squat that I know of so far is 155?

Juke oh, and is it sad that i'm 5'9, 140 pounds...my max bench that I know of so far is 165x3 and my max squat that I know of so far is 155? it's only sad if it stays that way.

I was lucky enough to have a coach in high school that actually did a bit of O-lifting and knew what he was doing. I did them for football/throwing but I see no reason to continue doing them now. Unless you're planning to olympic lift, in which case you should find a good training center/coach and learn from them.

Undefined it's only sad if it stays that way. Well, I just bumped the bench weight up yesterday...and I haven't done squats in a long time cause I had foot surgery in march

whatever you do don't try to do it on your own, please please please have some experience person who knows what the fuck they are doing help you out...With the proper form you can get some fantastic explosive strength. With the wrong form repeated you can just injure yourself and not even get the best results. I just got done doing my oly day...snatches, clean and jerks weee

Juke oh, and is it sad that i'm 5'9, 140 pounds...my max bench that I know of so far is 165x3 and my max squat that I know of so far is 155? your squat is sad, id say bench is fine though, but as Undefined said, its only sad if it stays that way.

princess0fdiabl0 your squat is sad, id say bench is fine though, but as Undefined said, its only sad if it stays that way. well, like I stated in a previous post, I had an injury occur on my foot which required surgery

Juke I tried to powerclean about 115 on wednesday (my first time) and I got it up but I believe my form was really horrendous Its all in your form. My weight coach in highschool certainly wasn't an olympic trainer or competitor, but he seemed like he knew what he was doing. We would spend hours working on form w/ just the bar. Even so, my form as far as dropping underneath the weight still sucks. I drop half as far as I should. However, the rest of my form much better. Keeping the weight on the legs to keep from straining the upper back. Roll the bar to your shins and explode upward using your legs as hard as you can. Near the peak of this manuever shrug and pull the weight up as far as you can while trying to keep the weight moving only verticall. From here you drop beneath the weight as fast as possible while letting the bar come down on your delts as you raise your elbows as high as possible. From here, it is nothing but a front squat. I have only been doing hang cleans as of late. I guess the only reason I like them is because I am decent at them. I do 225lbs for 3 sets of 5. It has REALLY helped w/ my upper back developement.

my problem with cleans is that I don't feel like I have my elbows up high enough when I rack the bar onto my shoulders. does anyone have any good animated gifs to show proper form?

Conventional vs Sumo?

Conventional vs Sumo?

Should I be doing both or just stick with one?

powerlifting

so no advantages in switching around now and again?

i cant do conventional, my arms are too short or something

i think sumo is saposed to better mechanically, but it takes alot of practice to get the form down and such. I can pull prettty much the same with both.

thanks man, conventional is a cluster fuck for me at the moment. my gangly legs are all up in there like spaghetti.

I don't know. I'm 6'1, should conventional be easier? It seems like I can lift more with sumo. And it tires out a different part of my back -- am I crazy?

how close is everyone's legs on conventional? My feet are about 6 inches apart, and my arms are right outside my legs.

I put my feet a little less than shoulder width I dont know if I am doing them right or wrong though. I really regret joining the gym I did. And I am just doing conventional as i dont know how to do Sumo at all.

christophers take recorsd on both i pull conv, but i do sumo's for max effort day a lot but i always do speed deads with conv what bodily aspects would be more advantageous for a sumo lift? eg. is it generally suited better to tall guys?

I switch up. I still do some form of deadlift almost every squat/dead day, so to keep from getting stale I do all kinds of variations.

I usually do conventional when training but I've always been able to pull more with sumo.

On DL's I do conv. Seem to be able to get more drive that way, even if I have to pull it higher. On squats I do sumo because it feels more stable and easier on my knees

I have only done conventional.

i squat both and pull sumo right now my conv squat is higher than my wide stance which i am trying to change

I love it.

ajahhahaha wtf bend me over and call me alfred

christophers this is what i think about sumo http://www.playingisforpleasure.com/...ff_Dancing.avi i share the same view as jeff ace of base playing in the background

christophers hes stronger than you, maybe hes onto something http://www.playingisforpleasure.com/...d_12_Hours.avi Apparently not, cuz I listen to that sometimes too

christophers http://www.playingisforpleasure.com/...fe_Is_Hard.avi That guy seems hilarious, and the garage gym looks pretty awesome

my football coaches always taught us to do sumo, so thats how i've been doin it since. today i tried conventional for the first time, and i absolutely loved it, much better than sumo.

I SLDL

I've done conventional when I first started and saw great gains when I switched to sumo, my weight lowered a bit, but it shot back up in no time. I think sumo helps prevent people from cheating. Now, I can do the same, if not more, with sumo than with conventional

Dislocated Shoulder

Dislocated Shoulder

I had a bicycle accident last night and dislocated my shoulder. It popped back in on its own. It hurts like a mofo and it feels like i tore up my rotator cuff. Any recommendations on physical therapy? Know how long it usually takes for something like this to heal?

Dismay I had a bicycle accident last night and dislocated my shoulder. It popped back in on its own. It hurts like a mofo and it feels like i tore up my rotator cuff. Any recommendations on physical therapy? Know how long it usually takes for something like this to heal? ouch... i messed up my rotator took a long ass time for it to heal... many months until it felt completely fine.

XsLiCk ouch... i messed up my rotator took a long ass time for it to heal... many months until it felt completely fine. yeah this sucks hardcore. In my 5 years of working out i have been careful and never had an injury and this bullshit happens looks like i wont be doing the things i wanted to the next few months

Mike McDermott Have you seen a doc yet? no, doesnt seem that bad roommate actually had same thing happen to him about a month ago, his was much worse and they didnt do anything for him aside from give him vicodin

this shit sucks. dislocated mine playing football in high school. plagued me for a few years, got surgery last year. still sucks. ..... it sucks.

I've had mine do that same thing many times. What i do is move my shoulder as little as possible for about a week or until it doesn't hurt when i move it. Then when i start doing presses i start out light and go up in weight as long as it doesn't hurt. I don't stretch it hard, i just get the muscles warmed up before I lift.

aenz this shit sucks. dislocated mine playing football in high school. plagued me for a few years, got surgery last year. still sucks. ..... it sucks.

Mike McDermott You should see a doc just to make sure you didn't do something serious like tear your rotator cuff. yeah, maybe i will

350 lb Lifters who squat 900 and bench 600 with no particular skill or experience in football and put them on the line? Would it be worth it to put strong powerful dudes and teach them football?

no...look at Brock Lesnar

i think football is more a combo of speed/strength/leverage...when it comes to line men, not just brute strength.

jmx2323 i think football is more a combo of speed/strength/leverage...when it comes to line men, not just brute strength. How about a nose tackle? edit...well I guess they already do

Ceaze no...look at Brock Lesnar story?

no

stealthrapt0r story? he got cut from the vikings after trying out

Power is much more important than strength when it comes to lineplay. I you could find 350 pounders who had good balance, conditioning, grip strength, and the ability to move explosively (power), then you would have something to work with. I played ball with a lot of guys that look like tarzan and play like jane.

yeah but benching, while laying stationary on your back is diffrent from benching(pushing) a 280lb lineman who is shifting/droping his weight and trying to fight you off while moving in every direction.

jmx2323 yeah but benching, while laying stationary on your back is diffrent from benching(pushing) a 280lb lineman who is shifting/droping his weight and trying to fight you off while moving in every direction. but regardless of skill, your average lineman won't stop an animal who simply out muscles you

If you trained the Westside lifters to be football players long enough I'm sure they'd have a chance, whereas if you just took them and lined them up against a Pro Bowl tackle they'd probably get raped.

I agree with the brute strength argument, but you guys are acting like NFL lineman only bench 225 and squat 300....with out a doubt they train diffrently becasue they need explosive strength but also need it for 60+ playing min.

stealthrapt0r story? guy thought that because he was strong, he could play football. Guy tried out, and realized that he failed horribly. Came to the conclusion that because you are strong does not mean shit and went back to wrestling.

No.

Other powerlifting routines beside Westside?

Other powerlifting routines beside Westside?

i know we have alot of plers on here, what are some other routines besides westside barbells?

linear periodization, most are based around cycles though that build up to comps

Yeah my old football routine was set up towards power and it was linear periodization. It'd be like 8 week cycles with the last week testing your 1rm.

Finally got back in the groove the last couple days of playing (I've played like 7 days in a row). I've got my swing back to where I need it to be and was simply smashing today. Up 4 times, had a triple, single, and two bombs (one was like 325 feet and one was like 385). If I keep playing consistently, I really wouldn't mind playing organized baseball again. I know I could play at a lot of lower division/ junior colleges but since I'm chilling at D1 OSU, I don't know whether they'd give me a chance. In any case I'm getting bigger/stronger as well so it shouldn't be more than 6 months before that 385 foot bomb turns into 400+. By the way, baseball= best sport ever. IBhaters

But right on nonetheless.. Edit: @ edit.

Baseball is fun. But track is the greatest sport ever.

superbri007 are you a sprinter? Do you pay attention to anything I ever post?

superbri007 well, i figured your slow as fuck from all this crunking and what not and farmers walks, and DL's, etc. What do you run a 100 in? ib 13 I was running high 12s 2 years ago. In flats even.

superbri007 playing ultimate frisbee all the time and doing a couple sessions of HIIT this past summer has made me soooo much faster. Frisbee is great for building speed, because its not boring to try and sprint after a frisbee that is far out of your reach. Its quite a goal, and having something to chase after makes you all that much faster without having to think about it. now I understand why they have the fake rabbits at dog tracks Goddamn I hate frisbee. Why the hell would you dick around with something homo-riffic like that when you can play football and still keep your balls? Football>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ultimate frisbee

superbri007 I never said frisbee was better then football, i fucking love football. Too bad no one ever wants to play here at my school. They enjoy masturbating, playing wiffle ball, drinking, and occasionally playing b-ball. when I play frisbee, its either, for a pass and I still sprint. or its actually a pretty hardcore game of just pure sprinting up and down the field. damn your school sucks

superbri007 no, the people here suck. They are like zombies. There are plenty of athletes, but everyone else is just disgusting fat bodies who drink all the time and sit around like turds. /rant i wanted to try out for baseball this year for my university, but Its a bit too late for that now, and plus i'm a junior. Not so sure I could compete at the college level Yeah there are plenty of lazy asses around here too. "Hey you wanna play baseball?" "No i uhhh...just don't want to" I mean wtf. If I improve my defense and get up to 240 I am going to try-out next year when I'm a sophmore. I only wish that I had like a real trainer person to help out rather than just doing this shit myself.

It's the only organized sport I was ever good at. God I wish I kept playing. No one plays baseball though, it's always fucking softball. It's a bunch of fat drunks just smashing the ball. Actually, hell you'd think I'd fit right in.

Actually, hell you'd think I'd fit right in. Same here. In fact we were kicked off our field because some stupid ass softball game was about to take place. I don't even understand why guys would ever want to play a girls sport. And the older dudes get so into it. Talk about

Here are a list of tips that should help you out. First and foremost I always look at the muscles that are the most important for a particular sport and the muscles most likely to get injured. As a baseball player you must always work to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles. Since everything you do in baseball is in front of you so to speak, and you are always internally rotated you need to work the opposing muscle groups. Aside from the external rotators, you must focus on upper back, rhomboids, lower traps, etc. Lats are the most important upper body muscles involved in hitting and of course you should work on forearm strength. Rotational ab work is also of enormous benefit for baseball players. But here is something that you don't regularly hear: A baseball player usually bats either righty or lefty. That player swings in one direction an inordinate amount of times. This can lead to imbalances and problems. Back pain can result because of this. What I recommend is that baseball players swing the bat in the opposite direction as much as they can so as not to develop these kinds of problems. Also during the season, we will focus more of our rotational work in the opposite direction of the way they swing. You always hear about golfers getting back pain and this is the reason why. I think the reason why you don't hear as much about it in baseball is because baseball players tend to be quite a bit more muscular and in shape than golfers. However, there is always that risk, and if it doesn't rear it's head at the current time it will sometime down the road as you get older. As far as being "speed oriented'" goes, you have to focus on improving the strength of your posterior chain and work on running mechanics and multidirectional speed drills. Although the basepath dictates that you run in somewhat of a straigh line, the ability to rapidly change directions when running the bases or trying to steal, and also to react to where a ball is hit when you are playing defense is of the utmost importance. To improve your throwing power from the outfield, you have to do the same thing you have to do to improve your speed- strengthen your posterior chain and torso strenth. That is where all your power comes from, not your arm. -Jason Ferruggia

I'm not going to brag, but I couldn't list all the amazing shit I did. Get me drunk and I'm fucking Al bundy talking about the glory days. Oddly enough, I wasn't a power hitter. I hit a few out, but they were few and far between.

my baseball coach got murdered

i suck but i also havent played in years

Playing baseball is sweet...i can't stand watching it though I've played back when I was 8 and just quit last year for college..no one plays anymore. like someone said, it's all slow-pitch bullshit..no one plays fastball anymore... psst...pitcher= best position ever...curveballs fucked up my arm though when I was young...

I wasnt bad. If I lifted I would have been better. and Gilga Im playing co-ed softball and soccer

WTF Acupuncture...

WTF Acupuncture...

Whats up. Well, heres the story. Last week I tried to do box squatting, and I will still trying to get comfortable with it. After doing it with low weight, I put on 315, as that is my usual first set (after warming up a bit with 225) I come down tap the seat, and go up...next rep, i come down a bit too fast and end up sitting on the box, but i can't get it back up. So I rest for a moment, and end up straining myself and trying to adjust my footing to get a better position to stand up with the weight. I get it up. However, I end up feeling this sharp pain around my mid-lower back around the spine. CRAPP. my first squatting injury. Whatever, I made the mistake of doing another few sets with lighter weight. After I woke up, my back was killing me. Sharp pains whenever I moved the wrong way...I decided to take it easy for the next few days and not do anything that strains my back. So it was a week since the incident, last night. I was eager to try squatting again. Warmed up 225, no problem. put on 315, got it off the rack no problem, got ready to go down, and suddenly i felt a tiny shift in that same spot on my spine. Hurt like a betch. Racked the BB, and got off. Ended up doing Bench/Shoulder/Tri last night. Woke up, I could barely get out of bed. Didn't go to school, and I'm stranded at home. Now, my mom wants to take me to get acupuncture. WTF, I never believed in that oriental medicine crap. Acupuncture is supposed to release Chi? Uh, Chi only reminds me of Naruto and chakra or something. I dunno, I think they're going to put needles in my back and draw some blood. My mom got it done to her shoulder last week and she said it helped. BS. I would rather get x-rays done to make sure everything is okay. Either that, or I could wait another two weeks to make sure it heals up . I know I made some bad decisions in trying to put up that much weight with box squats initialy, and trying to squat again after a week of injury. But thats besides the point. What do you guys think of acupuncture? Is it legit? Does it work? I find it hard to believe that a few pokes with some long needles will help my spine heal. Also, do you guys have any other suggestions or comments? I'm ready for flames for my stupidity, thats understood. Any serious comments would help. ___________________________________________ Cliffs:Hurt my back/spine doing box squat a week ago, tried again last night, hurt it in the same spot. Now my mom is going to take me to get acupuncture. I dont believe in it. Thoughts? ____________________________________________ Plus, i frickin HATE needles. Some kinda mild phobia I guess.

Acupuncture basically made all my knee pain go away....the needles really aren't bad at all, they aren't thick like drug needles. Go for it...

dont be afraid of the needles. u wont feel a thing and u probably wont see them either if its on ur back so that shouldn't be a concern. its worth a shot i say. but your best bet to heal is probably just resting for a few weeks. i doubt an xray shows anything abnormal but get one of those two if you've got insurance just to be sure.

superbri007 I just got it today, and I love it, its relaxing. The best part about it is just laying there for 20 mins in a silent room stairing at the ceiling. The needles don't hurt really, unless they put it in a little too far geez. in 9th grade i had to get my immunizations for highschool and football. i nearly passed out after 2 shots...and this was after trying to pretend like i was all cool about it. at least i'm not diabetic like my aunt who takes 7 shots of insulin a day.

superbri007 dude, give it 2 weeks, rest yourself, stretch out, don't lift anything heavy, get some accupuncture, but also get chiropractic re-alignment first!. I go every monday for 10-30 mins or so. get my back aligned, then get accupuncture for sinus's and wherever I'm getting spasms from lifting, etc. wtf realignment? i hope nothing is out of place.

Go to the doctor.

~stangzorized~ Go to the doctor. i don't like the doctor. my mom said we'll get acupuncture, and if its still bad after a few days, we'll get x-ray's done.

superbri007 then just don't look at the needles, and the likelihood of you passing out while lying on yoru stomach or back is 0 to none lol. try it out man, its really cool, and doesn't hurt a bit! the needles are so tiny you don't feel them really haha i was kinda exaggerating about my fear of needles. i'm not scared, i just dont wanna waste my time putting needles in my back when i dont know if it'll do anything. but the 9th grade thing is a true story.

superbri007 today I had 14 needles in, one in between each thumb and pointer finger, 1 on each ear lobe, one on my scalp, two above my upper lip, about 4 around my left shoulder, one on my right shoulder area and some down my forearm dude, what did you do? get in a train wreck? or did purevl drop his deadlift on your face?

superbri007 purevl dropped something else on my face he's into scat and I wasn't aware anyways: acupuncture is awesome. my dad used to do it. it works.

superbri007 your German, aren't you guys into the whole shitting on peoples face thing? nah man. you guys buy them videos

superbri007 or download and share them with OT send me some more music biatch!!! I need more Rammstein for my new mp3 player im gettin in a week or so waddya want? i have Mutter as well as a best of here...

Rammstein - Ich Will (live)

i'm currently upping something else plus i wanna upload the Kung-Fu Hustle over night (10 Pm right now over here)...Rammstein will probably have to wait a bit

you did see the mp3 link in this thread though i hope?! also: you need to get rid of that stupid fuckin avatar mang

superbri007 as in " I'm a n00bert and didn't see the link..." or " I'm a broke bitch and can't afford another sub!" IBboth

go to the acupunture treatment. i like it and i believe in it. many many reasons..

Came back from it not too long ago. All he did was ask me what happened, and before i finished explaining he said "okay, get on the bed" (in korean) he started poking the general area with his fingers, made a fist and pushed extremely hard. f'in hurt. he's like "okay, its a dam" meaning a stress cramp? so he gets this pen like jig, and starts poking holes in my back...and doesn't stop. it must've been literally 100 holes. then he puts these glass cups on my back and uses this manual vacuum to pump out the air. so after waiting 10 minutes, he comes back and releases the cups and wipes away all the blood, which felt like it was a lot. result? i don't really feel any better. he says it will after a day or two, and he wants me to come back tomorrow. looks really ugly too. (you're not seeing things, my right lat is bigger than my left lat. )

I don't think you should ever sit back down on the box if you can't get it up. Just drop the weight if you're forced to sit back down. I think I even remember christophers saying this.

b-stevens I don't think you should ever sit back down on the box if you can't get it up. Just drop the weight if you're forced to sit back down. I think I even remember christophers saying this. now that would've been greater advice a week ago.

superbri007 i've never seen that approach, i'll ask my chiro. you sure your guy didn't get his Accupuncture certification from a crack jack box? nonetheless, cool, you need to go back for a followup too followup? dam. he's supposedly famous among northern virginian koreans for really helping them out. my mom got the same thing done last week b/c her shoulder was killing her...she says she feels fine now.

You could tell your friends your girlfriend has some suckin skills. Hm..hickeys?

Aaargh, gonna be outta the gym for a long time...

Aaargh, gonna be outta the gym for a long time...

This really blows. I was out playing football at a field behind the dorms on campus this past friday, and while I was out I hurt my knee all kinds of bad. I was running full speed and it buckled inside... Now I'm on crutches and can't workout indefinately, with only 3 weeks of classes left. I don't know how long I will be out, but last time this happened the doc said if it happened again I would likely need reconstructive surgury. I was making such good progress too... now I can't even make my way around the kitchen to eat well, so its only fatty takeout food for a while Sorry for the sad post... ibflamesforwhateverfuckingreason

i would cry and kill myself i think. i feel really sorry for you right now.

dude you can still eat well. i was on crutches for 6 weeks last august and still managed to hop around the kitchen on one foot so i wouldn't have to settle for bullshit food. dont use that as your excuse. and u can still go to the gym and do some upperbody stuff. it's not that bad

I'm injuried from football as well. But i hurt my finger. I have around 5 weeks left before i should be better.

that would be awesome if that happened no more squats and deadlifts

PHOBOPHILEE that would be awesome if that happened no more squats and deadlifts are you kidding me? squats and deadlifts > *

I went to a friends party last night and his girlfriend kept telling me how adorable I looked on the crutches and how she felt the need to help me, and that I can use this as a means of meeting girls. I guess its not all bad.

lol so true! buti feel bad when i cant workout hotdamn! I went to a friends party last night and his girlfriend kept telling me how adorable I looked on the crutches and how she felt the need to help me, and that I can use this as a means of meeting girls. I guess its not all bad.

Don't let an injury let your whole lifestyle go to shit. I did once, and that 30 pounds came pretty quickly. Just keep eating well, I'm sure you'll figure something out that you can do while your knee is taken care of.

i was in a similar boat..i had surgery on my knee 3.5weeks ago and it's still healing. it's still swollen and hurts..i sorta tripped down the stairs and my foot got stuck and stretched more than needed. it hurts like a motherfucker.

When i fucked up my knee i still went to the gym and did upper body stuff. I would for sure try to figure out how you can go still so you dont get out of shape.

whats a good mp3 player for training

whats a good mp3 player for training

ive been looking around a good mp3 player for running and lifting so whats a good one that is reliable hows the phillips nike one also about how many songs could i fit onto a 256mb one and or a 128 mb one

I like the RCA ones myself. Best overall size / cost / durability. http://search.ebay.com/RCA-RD1000 around $20 add a 128mb card for a total of 160mb and you are set http://search.ebay.com/128mb%20mmc around $30 TOTAL PRICE around $50

I got the RCA RD1071A from the mart of walls and I couldn't be happier. I think it holds like 128mb? It was only 80 bucks.

i have an ipod and i love it for weight training...you can get an armband and everything...the ipod mini is even better but i wanted more songs

i use an iRiver flash mp3 player that has 256mb and holds roughly 50+ songs. it uses 1 AA battery that lasts around 20 hours and comes with an armband. the player is very light and weighs less than the battery itself. it costed me a $150 about a month ago. for weight training and running, you want to get a flash mp3 player. flash players are more expensive and holds less songs but they have no moving parts. if you were to use an ipod or any hard drive based mp3 player, you can easily damage your investment as there are many moving parts and mechanisms that get jostled around during cardio and weight training.

i have the nike one...works great for me

anything small with a clip or holder works fine just run the cord under your shirt and strap it to your pants/shorts

sexual tennis i use an iRiver flash mp3 player that has 256mb and holds roughly 50+ songs. it uses 1 AA battery that lasts around 20 hours and comes with an armband. the player is very light and weighs less than the battery itself. it costed me a $150 about a month ago. for weight training and running, you want to get a flash mp3 player. flash players are more expensive and holds less songs but they have no moving parts. if you were to use an ipod or any hard drive based mp3 player, you can easily damage your investment as there are many moving parts and mechanisms that get jostled around during cardio and weight training. i just picked up an iriver flash player after my samsung yep broke it's been great so far. and yeah i second the not getting a hard drive based player if you are going to do a lot of running or something where it will get pounded. but if you are going to stick with an eliptical, stairclimber or bicycle, it should be fine.

got the RCA RD1080. works great for me

PANASONIC SV-SD80 is what I use.. best mp3 player EVER!! THE new version is SV-SD85 I think. SUPER tiny.. nice nice tiny case that I just clip onto my shorts. good sound Edit: The rechargble battery lasts like 18 hours or so. If you use rechargable plus AA battery it will last ~50 hours I think It's about 1.2" x 1.2" x .5"

www.iriver.com . They are very compact, and mine has been durable....

samsung yepp yp-30sh

I have the rio cali 128. Also has a fm tuner in it. At the place where I lift all the TVs are hooked up on fm reception so I if I am on a Sunday I can listen to the Nascar race or listen to football games in the fall time without having to run and check all the time. The only problem I have is the earplugs are horrible. I had another nice pair that I have been using.

I have the Nike Phillips 128mb one, got it two years ago for christmas. Once you ditch the gay armband and replace the headphones, it's great. The unit itself is awesome, small and very durable. Battery life is great. FWIW, I *LOVE* these headphones: http://www.spysupply007.com/Headphon...nes/HS_303.jpg They're less than $10, and they're the only thing that I've used that'll stay in no matter what I'm doing.

I have the new rca mp4.. 20gb.. i love it.. holds videos photos.. music and programs... Would recomend... but the price outragous... 400$

i use the nike one, its a black circle and comes with a arm band that barely fits my arm anymore

i got a mpio when my nike kept dying, i'm happy with the sound..& it's real tiny.

IPod shuffle

willg133 i have an ipod and i love it for weight training...you can get an armband and everything...the ipod mini is even better but i wanted more songs where did you get your armband?

knucks where did you get your armband? I picked mine up at best buy, when I bought my mini its nice, it doesnt move much when you are running as it is locked in place pretty well.

Creative Muvo N200 1gb or Sandisk 1gb

I use a phillips one that I picked up at Wal-Mart for $80. Reads mem cards and uses AAA batteries. Perfect for the gym.

Sandisk = win.

id probably go ipod shuffle now if i had to get a new one. Regular Ipod's are ok if you are just doing strickly weights you can just put a playlist on it but its not good for running or anything. It will eventually fuck up the disk and after the 25 minute buffer it starts skipping and bad

kinda strange question, but are any mp3 players water proof, or is there a way to put them in a water proof container? i want one to go work out and go sailing also

i cant dorsiflex my right foot :'(

what? I understand like 2 words in this post

How's your HRT going?

Dorsiflexion is bringing your foot up, right?

Or I have that backwards.

dorsiflexion is bringing your foot toward your shin

He can't lift his toes towards his shin. Mainly because he is a lytw8.

ACURA TL-S He can't lift his toes towards his shin. Mainly because he is a lytw8.

Hip Hippo Dorsiflexion is bringing your foot up, right? yeah..

Ceaze dorsiflexion is bringing your foot toward your shin si, senor.. i cant do it, my nerve is temporarily dead..they said it might be a few months before it comes back

So what happens now?

Ilyusha So what happens now? sit and wait..check up in 3 weeks, perhaps surgery or electric shock to see wtf is up with it

mike sit and wait..check up in 3 weeks, perhaps surgery or electric shock to see wtf is up with it can you lift?

Ilyusha can you lift? not with my foot ;o

mike not with my foot ;o Not like it ever mattered..

superbri007 well, now you can devote all your time to upper body how did all this happen again? football? kickball

mike kickball Are you serious?

mike kickball BABY BOUNCIES BABY BOUNCIES !!

buffbronzenbtchn How's your HRT going? .

something like that used to happen to me when I would play soccer. It would go away in a few weeks

mike kickball is that what you did on spring break?

Someone lifts with bad form and you tear them an asshole. Some lumix kicks a fucking rubber ball improperly and hurts himself (biggest. pussy. evar.) and you have a group hug. I guess the rumors about guys who lift and shave are true.

who are you?

404SHITnotfound I've had that before, from soccer. You kicked it right about at the joint of your foot and shin, didn't you? God I hate that numb feeling and not being able to get full range of motion out of my good. nah, the nerve ending that was malfunctioning is located just below the knee on the outside of the leg

Motivation? Whats on your mind?

Motivation? Whats on your mind?

So sometimes youre bench pressing, some curls or some ab work or something of the like and you're near failure but not finished with your set. What's on your mind? What do you guys think of to keep you motivated and pushing yourself to squeeze out those last few reps?

i think, you're not gonna be sore tomorrow if you dont push out atleast 2 more reps YOU FUCKING PUSSY

and then i think about slashing, stabbing, beating and choking my ex and i push out 3 more reps

that if u dont squeeze em out ur fucked like that one video that was posted on here lol but mainly because i dont want to be a pussy and know i am capable of more

"do you ever want to be big?"

i think of myself and where i want to be. i only lift for myself, my only motivation is myself

GFH

i think all of those ppl that quitted and how fat i will be if i dont finish!

quitted. what does that mean?

AmCo i think all of those ppl that quitted and how fat i will be if i dont finish! less lifting, more mastering basic english

I think of all the people whove pissed me off in life, its so much anymore, anytime I want to be pissed off and have stupid energy I can go into this mindset of wanting to kill someone, and can throw down another 3 or 4 reps

I usually say "I'm building a Body-for-Life". No but seriously, the threat of thinking I'm a pussy usually helps me get the last few reps up, and helps get through the last few minutes of cardio if I need extra help.

unrealistic goal for self : purevl

i think of lou ferrigno doing presses shouting 'ahnold, ahnold, ahnold,' then i power through my final 2 reps thinking of ed corney doing finishing up his squats.

i think, im gonna pound the crap out of my girl tonite, and im gonna make her proud.

Nothing.

big hockey hits ive done/seen

I really don't think of anything, I'll just push my body till it can physically not go anymore.

Mike McDermott I think about everyone who has ever doubted me. I think of all of the people who called me too fat, too slow, too short, too white, or just plain not good enough. And I think about how they were WRONG. aww

Mike McDermott I get emo when I think about my fat days. im emo all the time

~stangzorized~ I really don't think of anything, I'll just push my body till it can physically not go anymore. .

Mike McDermott That's because you are fat all the time. i hate you dude.

im not gonna lie, im usually thinkin of a hot chick, teh ladeez are my motivation

Sometimes I just look at my sessie body in the mirror because I do most of my lfits facing a mirror (mirrors all around our football weight room)

yeah its weird but... i picture the black dude from the american ninja movies standing next to me and shouting, "push that weight bitch" don't know why.

Motivation? Whats on your mind?

I know this will sound stupid but...

I know this will sound stupid but...

How do you dead lift im going to start using that base routine that christophers wrote once my Creatine and Whey come in http://forums.offtopic.com/showthrea...t=base+routine I dont know how to dead lift though the only lifts we do at my school (or atleast that I know are) Push Press Squat Front Squat Military Press Bench Incline Bench Powerclean Hangclean Then we have alot of stuff to do curls and we have neck machines and leg press machines etc... but I dont know how to dead lift

Everyone is loaded and their parents give them as much money as they want and they end up buying drugs with it The only way you can go to CHHS without being loaded is A- Live in parts of Uless (sp) B- Bought your house many many many many years ago before the prices doubled (this is the situation im in but our house is still a shack compared to everyone else)

I'm basically in the same boat as you. I'm from frisco and in the past like 8 years all this reallllly rich people moved in. I lived in the old part of frisco in a $100,000 house while all the new people moving in were buying houses atleast 250k and up to a few million.

the squat bar looks like it's riding on his neck...

Grouch The kid is a monster he will go to what ever D1 school he wants to. So long as it's UCLA.

eXyle So long as it's UCLA. He just got a letter from them today But he's a JR so letter right now don't mean anything. But if he gets the stick out of his ass he can be an easy 60+ footer in the shot, and if he goes to their camp again next year he may get an offer for track if not football.

I'm sure this kid knows what he's doing. no, he has no idea what he is doing...he stops working out after taking them therefore losing all the muscle he gained...also has no idea of the bad side effects just knows it will make him bigger

Tell him to message me and hook me up. I'll treat those babies right...

Dianabol is used to jump start most cycles for the fact it kicks in very fast. Stength gains are awesome, weight gain is expected, yes there will be some water retention, but if you know what you're doing, there shouldn't be much.

Strenth gains w/dbol are frightning, you can eat like shit and the increase in strength is still astounding, when used correctly dbol is fuckin insane... when done alone tho mass and strength drop off fast, very very fast.

Lifting in the same gym as wanna be UFC fighters blows

Lifting in the same gym as wanna be UFC fighters blows

theres 2 'fighters' in the gym and they seem to alternate days of coming in so as to hassle me to the fullest. Scenario 1: me and my friend are on incline bench...after every set i finish, 'fighter' #1 proceeds to walk over and tell me some bullshit i dont care about how he switched jiu jitsu gym from the black dragon school to the gracie school. he then proceeds to bring up 4,000 different submissions he just learned and prefaces every one with 'you're a wrestler...you know know this one right?' and then proceed to say 'here man youre too tall, i cant do it on you...get on your knees so i can do it' then he proceeds to put me in some dumbass sleeper hold variation nearly knocking me out so i have to tap his arm...he then gets this dumbass shitfaced grin on his face and says 'har har hardy har har pretty good hold eh?' as i think 'yeah man, next time youre in a fight and the guy is over 5' 5" just ask him politely to get on his knees so you can do your flawless submission repetuoire' this goes on between every set causing a 5-7 minute break between every fucking set (Reapeat paragraph Mon-Wed-Fri) Scenario 2: 'fighter' #2 takes a break from his incline situps and throwing punches at the top of every rep to take notice of my 'undefeated wrestler' shirt and waltz on over. meanwhile my friend and i are in the middle of deadlifting. he proceeds to butt in and say 'hey....are you a wrestler' (he obviously is very perceptive and has 40/30 vision or better because it has registered with him that i wear wrestling apparel every day to the gym). he then goes on to tell me about how he trains with a wrestler who was a two time state champ in west virginia where the west virginia state tournament consists of 2 parapolegic mutes with down syndrome. thinking im enthralled to hear this, he then goes on to tell me about every single principle of brazilian jiu jitsu and how i should do it. (meanwhile nearly 5 minutes have elapsed) he then takes an abrupt change in subject matter to the tv show 'the ultimate fighter' 'have you ever seen the ultimate fighter' 'no' (a lie in a futile attempt to stifle conversation...bad idea) 'ohhhhhhhh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, well in that case (insert backround story, physical specs, fighting backround, and undergarmet preference of every single fighter on the ultimate fighter.....then after that he spends 5 more minutes telling me how the show was only supposed to give out 2 contracts at the finale but the fight was just so damn fucking a sweet they DUH DUH DUH gave out 3. (insert me shitting my pants out of suprise). then after that riveting 15 minute long sabbatical from lifting, he proceeds to walk back to the corner and throw some lightning fast jabs and ultra smooth kicks in the mirror (Reapeat paragraph Tues-Thu) note to self: never wear wrestling apparel again or get swamped by the 'everything we wear says "tapout" on it' crew

As an mma practitioner this UFC show has become a blessing on the one hand and the gayest thing on the other... Tons of people are showing up to train, all because of the show. They only last a month or less, they don't realize its seriously hard work. Then there are all the people who just watch the videos and pretend they can do something like it (like backyard wrestling). The exposure is good in terms of making the sport larger...but there are always bad things that come with expansion, like the douchebags you saw.

that's great. I wish i had people like that at my gym. But instead I only have immigrant farm workers children.

You can thank the stupid "Ultimate Fighter" reality show for that. Now kids everywhere think they can train to be UFC fighters and practice in their backyard, thanks Zuffa.

Jeff Coleman You can thank the stupid "Ultimate Fighter" reality show for that. Now kids everywhere think they can train to be UFC fighters and practice in their backyard, thanks Zuffa. meh, local shows will be easier to set up and probably more frequent now though.

Lower devisions like IFC, GC, KOTC, SuperBrawl etc. have NO problem getting fighters. So dont expect there to be more shows just because more people want to fight, if they wanted more shows they would contract more fighters.

my friend is the NY state champion in mma or whatever

I understand that the idiots are strong now..but why even cater to them? Tell the little chump to back off, you're lifting and don't have time for him..don't feed his stupid ego trip.

Real fighters wouldnt be focusing half their week in the "gym" Most explosive moves can't be replicated with your typical gym set. I don't think this sudden burst of popularity will last very long, give it a year or so.

superbri007 holdempoker.jpg except poker isn't going anywhere

superbri007 holdempoker.jpg Theres this really annoying kid at my school who thinks he's the shit and now walks aroudn school with either cards in his hands or poker chips at all times. He's always like "man I can't stop thinking about poker," "I want to play poker," and he always asks every fucking teacher/student "do you play poker?" "Are you any good at poker?" blah blah blah blah blah.

"Are you any good at poker?" blah blah blah blah blah. i love hold em.. but i dont walk around with chips and cards

jonno i love hold em.. but i dont walk around with chips and cards the other day in class he enlightened me with the "reason" why he always has them on him. He told me that he shakes when he's not playing cards... like it's some kind of physical addiction.

I'm gonna guess that they just train in grappling and aren't really fighters... anyways people who preach about it incessently are gay.

buy your own equipment and lift at home, i did and it was worth it

there was always a good mix when i went 2 the Y, couldnt tell ya now cuz i work out @ my house.

Good think I work out at our school football weight room so I know everyone in there and no random people come in I can also do some lifting at my house

make sure you have plenty of weight on the bench next time he comes over and be like, "wow, i got something new i learned two, here sit down on the bench and i will show you", lift bar up, drop on his chest.

tize he would karate kick sarges face doubtful and most likely you could make sarcastic comments like "ohh is the baby going to tap out?" worst case scenario step on his foot and run.

Jeff Coleman You can thank the stupid "Ultimate Fighter" reality show for that. Now kids everywhere think they can train to be UFC fighters and practice in their backyard, thanks Zuffa. Yeah now I can go to my local bar/club and there will be even more lightweights to beat the shit out of on fight night!

He's always like "man I can't stop thinking about poker," "I want to play poker," and he always asks every fucking teacher/student "do you play poker?" "Are you any good at poker?" blah blah blah blah blah. work on your grip and learn to tear decks of cards in half.

Be like "Black Dragon this, motherf**ker!", and then use your index and middle fingers to gouge out his eyes.

Its pretty stupid to compare sport fighting systems to combat systems. Its like comparing stock cars and formula, they are two different things. Also its the fighter not the system who is ultimately responsible for the outcome of a fight. Anyway, yeah there are a lot more people interested in MMA now that TUF aired but I am happy for it. I'm glad that every third guy is talking about armbars and rnc's, even if they are looking at kimura's and neck cranks. Whatever, until NHB fighters start making the money they deserve, I'm all for the blatant commercialism. If it means that there will be more wannabe's walking around acting like jackasses, so be it, it better than fighting for 500 bucks and having no health insurance.

Grouch that's great. I wish i had people like that at my gym. But instead I only have immigrant farm workers children. Gilroy

Lifting in the same gym as wanna be UFC fighters blows

quick question v.dl/squat

quick question v.dl/squat

ideally, should your squat and d/l 1RM be the same/close to the same. or should the DL be significantly greater than your squat?

from the numbers ive seen, usually the DL is about 10-20% greater than the squat. but numbers dont scale down well to newbies, not saying you are, but like i DL 260ish and squat 200.

princess0fdiabl0 from the numbers ive seen, usually the DL is about 10-20% greater than the squat. but numbers dont scale down well to newbies, not saying you are, but like i DL 260ish and squat 200. yeah i've noticed that too but for some reason i DL 275 and squat 275 maybe it's my grip thats preventing me from DLing more

sr20wop yeah i've noticed that too but for some reason i DL 275 and squat 275 maybe it's my grip thats preventing me from DLing more no, you should be able to squat mroe than u DL

vettedude no, you should be able to squat mroe than u DL orly

depends on your weight...lighter lifters tend to have their deadlift approach their squat weight but no matter what your squat should always be higher. The heavier you are the lower your deadlift will be in comparisson to your squat but i doubt thats something you need to worry about

GOGZILLA depends on your weight...lighter lifters tend to have their deadlift approach their squat weight but no matter what your squat should always be higher. The heavier you are the lower your deadlift will be in comparisson to your squat but i doubt thats something you need to worry about oh alright thanks broly

Ignore my post.

GOGZILLA depends on your weight...lighter lifters tend to have their deadlift approach their squat weight but no matter what your squat should always be higher. The heavier you are the lower your deadlift will be in comparisson to your squat but i doubt thats something you need to worry about Damn, when I lifted for football I must not have done something right... I was deadlifting 405 and Squatting 340ish Ooops

GOGZILLA depends on your weight...lighter lifters tend to have their deadlift approach their squat weight but no matter what your squat should always be higher. The heavier you are the lower your deadlift will be in comparisson to your squat but i doubt thats something you need to worry about that makes no sense. how can you say that when its a matter of fact that many people do deadlift more than they squat?

heres the best way to force yourself to run if you want to get into shape:

heres the best way to force yourself to run if you want to get into shape:

if you plan on running or jogging to lose some fat, build cardio, or get into shape.......here is a great way to force yourself to do it. have a friend drive you a few miles away from your house. then have you friend drop you off, and take your cell phone if you have one. then...you pretty much have no choice but to run your ass home.

If you don't have the will power to go out and jog around the block a few times, you definately won't have the will power to let your friend drive you that far away and leave you stranded. Or maybe not! I'd do it!

I say leave the phone at home though, you might be tempted to call a Taxi.

Tell them to drop you off in the projects or some ghetto neighborhood then...(unless you live in one, then I guess you're SOL.)

Jog through the ghetto as a warmup. Run out of the ghetto as high cardio.

I'd probably get raped and killed before I made it home. Next idea?

hah good idea

If your friend drops you off a few miles from home and leaves, you need to reconsider the friendship you guys have LOL

superbri007 ^^ addicted to that smilee

have them drop you off in the african flatlands and then run over a lion's baby cub on the way out...you'll be running all right



This is a good idea.

Or get some friends/make some friends who like to play football/basketball/etc.

superbri007 or spot a mountain lion or bear while hiking, and then have him spot you and then run might wanna start conservatively, like pissing off the neighborhood rottweiler

pokesteve cardio? is that spanish for deadlift? goddamn that was funny... WTF I changed my avy 'cause I thought you were gone.

just stop being a fucking pussy and go run.

I wouldn't run unless pur was chasing me. And that would just be because he smells.
