OTers, what do you think of this routine?

Just stumbled upon it today. Seems like a pretty good strength training program. The volume seems like it may be a little high though(thoughts?). http://www.ruggedmag.com/index.php?type=Article&i=3&a=5

I thought chris's was the bill starr program?

looks like it would kick some ass.. heavy gm's after squats would rape a lesser man :-D

Controlling Apetite....

Controlling Apetite....

whats the best way you all have found to control hunger, weather it be a supplement or some other method? im dieting down for summer and finding my cravings to be insane this year for some reason and will power is barely holding out, ive tried increasing my water intake to give me the full feeling but its not really working out too well..... suggestions?

Fiber helps keep you full in my experience - fills up the stomach, but isn't digested. As for supplements, I've found ephedrine very effective at controlling cravings. YMMV of course.

shitloads of water and veggies/fiber

foods with higher satiety index. :shrug: I dunno what to tell ya...

water, physical activity. if you're doing something you won't think about eating when your body isn't really hungry like you might if you're watching tv. plus if you do decide to eat your activity will help burn the cals.

Drink lots of water, or no/low calorie liquids to fill your stomache. Then just do something to keep yourself occupied.

I got off of EC today. I'm hungry as FUUUUCK! i didn't kow it had this much of an effect on my appetite.

Oh, my body is below my setpoint I think. It sucks ass. :-|

nicotine

Dont know if you have tried it yet but smaller potions spread out through out the day? Instead of eating normal portions 3 times a day try eating smaller portions 5 times a day.

pokesteve thats a good way to control cortisol I really should practice what I preach even if I dont know WTF i am talking about. You know what i have ate today? 1 6 inch subway turkey breast sandwhich. on white bread w 2 slices of cheese with letuce, tomato, bell pepers, onions, and jalepenos, 1 line of spicy mustard 1 line of light mayo. about 1 gal of water and a 20 oz pepsi. I still havent broken my morning caffine addiction I just dont feel right without it and I hate coffee. I need to get to sams and buy a bunch of tuna and boneless skinless chicken breasts BUT I dont get paid for another 11 days so I am stuck to what I have and I refuse to eat any of the garbage I have in the house right now. On the upside my maintenace is probably around 4000 cal a day and I only took in 700 ish calories on a high estimate. Thats it. IByourgoingtodie

pokesteve i know what its like being broke and trying to make progress.... tuna and whey protein are your friend, if nothing else, take a protein shake every few hours to keep your body digesting. I cant afford to buy the protein. I cant afford to do shit right now. I hate working for 6.50 a hour its so fucking gay. Im going to have to borrow money to make it to work until I get paid.

christophers well then stop dieting. arent u like 150 lb's. I've been fat for so long. I want to just see what its like being really low body fat. Just 6 more weeks of dieting. 2 of maintenance. Then a nice long 5 months of bulking.

veges, fiber, ephedrine. All pretty good results with.

take some hoodia and a glass of water. it works good

I dropped my calories relatively slowly. Im now just below 2000 per day and I have to force myself to eat even that. Right now, in fact, I am stuffed on a small cup of chilli and a chicken sandwich. If all else fails... clen

AznRyda I've been fat for so long. I want to just see what its like being really low body fat. Just 6 more weeks of dieting. 2 of maintenance. Then a nice long 5 months of bulking. 6 more weeks of dieting @ 150lbs? Please tell me you're 5'1'' or below

I just took a second job. I dont think im going to have much time to eat... First job is from 7am - 5pm second job from 5 pm - 9pm. first job weekends off second job saturday and sunday 9-5. I am going to have to get up at 5 am to work out.

nathanbx 6 more weeks of dieting @ 150lbs? Please tell me you're 5'1'' or below 5'6, 155. 15% bf (I am guessing) Body recomposition is individual. So whatever makes me happy and keeps me motivated.

Just got done moving workout equip...

Just got done moving workout equip...

Heavy stuff! We had five guys helping. These machines are my uncle's. They are for his personal gym over his boat house. There's about fifteen machines present at the moment; another three are being delivered. Along with two benches and some db's. A small college went bankrupt and sold their new gym equipment on ebay. My uncle has always wanted a gym of his own; so he took advantage of the situation. Brand new these machines range from $2350 to $3850. We figured it out, he bought each machine for $750-$800 dollars (6 month old equipment). Listing of the machines (All of which are Nautilus): Here, at the moment:-Leg curl -Leg extention -Chest press -Shoulder press -Curl machine -Tri machine -Row machine -Leg press -Lower back machine and others that have slipped my mind Coming, by this Fri. -Chest fly machine 50 degree -Chest fly machine 10 degree -Lateral shoulder raise machine -The benches -DB's Although, the boat house won't be complete until July; these machines are being stored in a three car garage. Plenty of room to workout on each. PS There's a good chance that i'll be moving in with him for the summer. :Broly: x11ty billion My feelings: Excitement, would be an understatement.

That's nice and all, but your uncle would be better off with a good rack, bench, and DB set. Maybe a cable station, and that's it.

Nautilus is where its at

make sure you read your nautilus manual man.

Ilyusha That's nice and all, but your uncle would be better off with a good rack, bench, and DB set. Maybe a cable station, and that's it. Thats exactly what I have

Injuries deciding whether I should bulk or cut?

Injuries deciding whether I should bulk or cut?

Ok, so right now I have a bad lower back, a possible abdominal-area hernia, a bad elbow, and my knee is still a little iffy from knee surgery last summer. With that being said, its hard for me to want to bulk up without being able to lift heavy - I cant deadlift, I can only squat super light (less than 100lbs), and I dont think I'll be able to bench for a week or two at best. Should I just say fuck it and try to cut down? My only hesitation here is that I'm not cavefish style - both muscular and fat, but rather I am probably just a hair past skinny-fatitude. Any advice?

you shouldn't be bulking nor cut! what you need to do is let your body heal, maintain or imporve your fitness level in every aspects, size is not your concern yet. bulking and cutting is more fine tuning after you maintain your fitness level in my opinion... there is no elevators to being fit and healthy, everyone has to take stairs.

so you're saying just take in maintainance calories or what? I get what you're saying otherrwise, but why not take in calories at a slight deficit and try to lose some fat?

tize cant you tell im putting my moves on her? OP->RP conversion baby!! and btw, sucking isnt a bad thing when its a girl. remember that chris remember that. eh?!?!?

I would fucking bitch slap these kids if I ever saw them..seriously http://www.fisiculturismo.com.br/for...ic.php?t=60591



Looks like the kid did an oil change right into his fucking arm. 10w-30 guns.

haha, i like the band aid over his bicep in that last picture

is that a fucking chop or synthol useage out of control?

he looks like a plastic sculpture that got really really hot and melted

that loosk rediculous

but the ladies are all over him!!!

Synthol much?

its all legal down there..

NoXeN its all legal down there.. Legal and smart are two different things.

Thats fucking ridiculous. I definitely wouldn't be going out and smiling if I looked like that.

NoXeN its all legal down there.. Synthol is legal here. Its a "massage oil"

some one translate

WTF?? Looks photoshopped.

It's probaly true. There is some guy at my gym. He's about 5'2 and has bigger arms than anyone I have seen at my gym or in real life but the odd thing is, the rest of him is normal sized. He has to have custom shirts made for a 5'2 torso and the arms of a 7'4, 400 pound Viking, his arms are beyond big.

NoXeN its all legal down there.. Maybe he meant all as in all type of drugs. Kind of a generalization thing ya know.........

hahahahahaha

Question: When people do that oil garbage does it make their biceps weak as fuck?

joed1228 It's probaly true. There is some guy at my gym. He's about 5'2 and has bigger arms than anyone I have seen at my gym or in real life but the odd thing is, the rest of him is normal sized. He has to have custom shirts made for a 5'2 torso and the arms of a 7'4, 400 pound Viking, his arms are beyond big. But does he have definition in his arms. You can tell the difference when someone is using synthol and when they just beach bodybuild.

Pics when i have some daylight I've lost nearly 20 pounds now and daily life is getting MUCH easier on my bad hip/knee combo (left hip surgery 2 years ago, rod down to the knee, screws above the knee and a pin into the hip) Also, When they did the surgery, they cut vertically through my Tensor Fasciae Latae and Gluteus Minimus and they're very weak compared to the right side. I've been working my legs up gradually and KNOW that my left leg is still much weaker than my right (by the fact that the thighs measure differently and that I can't do the same weight with each leg, I have to lever press them) BUT I'd like to start squatting and getting tougher on my legs so they can slim down the way my upper body has (i'm starting to look really pear shaped ) I'm definately going to have a spotter. Any other suggestions for strength gaining in that area/prepping myself for squatting, maybe stuff I can do at home while sitting on the compy? Thanks in advance IBpicsofyourgluteusminimis
