Sammo I could go for a small animal right now This thread also reminds me of the fight from UFC 3 I saw that shit... white dude ran up on him a few times and finally knocked him down.. then started pummeling his fucking face in until the black guy quit

lol, back in the early 90s, nobody really knew what they were doing in the UFC. Emanuel should definitely have done some serious thinking before fighting.

I heard the newer guys who are starting to weight train more have been getting injured more. Saw it on a tv show.

wtf...I was at the gym on saturday and I saw a guy I used to work with. After attempting to make small talk with me, he said that he was training shoulders. Now, when I worked with him about 5 months ago he really wasn't into working out at all...he's a decently built guy...very short and stocky. anyways, he gets on the military press(free weight) and puts on 135...reps it out with the worst form in the world. Brings it down to his chest. Then 185 ...then 225 all with the same form. Then 245 and gets it 6 times. I'm really surprized that he didn't tear his rotator cuff out on those presses...but he was doing them pretty easily. his other exercises were shit form tho...and weak weight. But his power is pretty damn impressive.

Where did you expect him to bring it down to?

But his power is pretty damn impressive. maybe he's not a noob and he just has atrocious form

Neo22 Where did you expect him to bring it down to? ass cheeks of course... thats the only way we roll here

incubimmer maybe he's not a noob and he just has atrocious form no, he's noob...I've talked to him about working out before and its always the "i need to start training" deal. oh well

yeah you think you have it bad, try gaining strength with a 6'6" wingspan ...im just waiting for the day a girl can lift more than me...thats probably when ill do a cycle...haha

i hate them too. and freshmen who threw farther then me in highschool. too they blow.

christophers my gym owner squats 550 @ 130 lb's bw at 40+ yrs old, female cycle time? shes probably run a few herself

christophers my gym owner squats 550 @ 130 lb's bw at 40+ yrs old, female cycle time? lol nice try, i said girl iblinktochinesegirlwarmingupwithmymax

Neo22 Where did you expect him to bring it down to? your chin, elbows should never break 90

PurEvl your chin, elbows should never break 90 =-o even for dumbell presses? and does anyone still do behind the neck presses? those are murder to my shoulder joints

and wtf, if i bring a bar/my hands to chin level, my elbows have already broken 90

KingGargantuan and wtf, if i bring a bar/my hands to chin level, my elbows have already broken 90 apeboy

PurEvl apeboy I could just see him demonstrating that in his office

PurEvl apeboy

Filmboy44 I could just see him demonstrating that in his office my brother is going to erase the memorys of fighting he gave you thru ancient chinese fighting memory erasing technique.

KingGargantuan my brother is going to erase the memorys of fighting he gave you thru ancient chinese fighting memory erasing technique. I was right wasn't I?

90 degrees would place the bar around my forehead.

cavefish 90 degrees would place the bar around my forehead. agreed

PurEvl elbows should never break 90 all my pressing moves would have a range of 3 inches then

size18boarder yeah you think you have it bad, try gaining strength with a 6'6" wingspan ...im just waiting for the day a girl can lift more than me...thats probably when ill do a cycle...haha 6'9" wingspan here.

PurEvl your chin, elbows should never break 90 how the fuck does that work. that means i dont even come down to the top of my head.

size18boarder yeah you think you have it bad, try gaining strength with a 6'6" wingspan ...im just waiting for the day a girl can lift more than me...thats probably when ill do a cycle...haha im 6'5 and have a 6'7 wingspan. i used to train shoulders a lot and that helped overall size. its sucks at first but the results are well worth it. 6'6 and Jacked > 5'6 and Jacked

i've always done shoulder presses only going down to elbows at like 80' barely past 90 and my shoudlers grow fine.

Sh0kka im 6'5 and have a 6'7 wingspan. i used to train shoulders a lot and that helped overall size. its sucks at first but the results are well worth it. 6'6 and Jacked > 5'6 and Jacked oh yeah dude when people see me in person i get ridiculous compliments and im not even jacked by any means...i was talking about strength though...thats a real bitch and plus am a whatever-morph that is all lanky and shit and not naturally strong

for the record. I hate strong noobs

Lateral raises

Lateral raises

I've always done'em with my elbows slightly bent... but I see people doing them with their elbows bent at 90 degrees... (allowing them to use much heavier weights). Personally, I feel that's it's kinda a cheat... but I bought that "Poliquin's Principles" book by Charles Poliquin (the "Guru"), and he favors the 90 degrees form... anyway, I was just wondering what you guys think is better.

I like 90 degrees too, just for the sake of going heavier. The further to the side I go, the more it feels like a rear delt

SteveO I like 90 degrees too, just for the sake of going heavier. The further to the side I go, the more it feels like a rear delt same, i feel like it hits the medial head more

90 degrees, RONNIE STYLE! When I do them like that I tend to use my traps at the top of the movement a lot more.

you can do either, depending on your condition and your goal! but in general, you should not lock your knees and elbows while lifting. but if you have the joints, ligaments, tendons to support your 90 degree or whatever you want to do, go ahead.. but i recommend everyone slightly bending on your knees, elbows, etc to protect your joints!

You seem to have missed the whole "elbows BENT at 90 degrees" thing.

cavefish You seem to have missed the whole "elbows BENT at 90 degrees" thing. shit, i DID miss that part! hahahha correction = 90 degree is NOT locking your elbows! 0 or 180 is. but i also train with variation of degrees since it activates different muscles in a different way .

hmmmmmm I must have word it wrong... cause most of you are replying, favoring the 90 degree form, but yet... according to the poll, most have voted "near" straight arm form... (NOT 90' degree)

your elbows at 90° is called an L-lateral raise

Today was the first day starting my routine for summer to bulk up. Throughout the course of the day I ate 6 sloppy joes, 3 pieces of pizza, 4 eggs, 2 protein shakes and a lot more too. I've never eaten this much Anyway, my moms going to the store tomorrow and I need ideas for really good munchie foods (with minimal preparation) that I can eat whenever I'm hungry. I'd prefer to stay away from full out cooking meals (ie. steaks) but minimal cooking is ok. So far I have -eggs -protein shakes -tuna

Different options on cardio machines.

Different options on cardio machines.

I've been working out regularily for a few weeks in an attempt to lose weight. I've been getting on cardio machines for 30-40 minutes 5 days a week. I want to lose weight as I weigh 250 at 6'3" and I have been using the cardio option on the machine which says I need to maintain 158bpm throughout the routine. There is also a fat burn option which I don't use because it wants me to maintain only 120bpm which I cannot do because I can't stand going that slow on the machine. Is the lower bpm going to really make me lost weight faster?

Oh.. and I've lost 7 pounds in the past week so it seems to me that the cardio option is working..

HIIT...look it up

What kind of cardio machine? Ellipticals are pretty good for losing fat plus you get to stare at all the women around you while using them

what you're doing is fine. keep it up.

As I understand it, the fat burning option doesn't burn more fat, it only burns more fat as a percentage of total calories burned. The cardio option burns more fat in total.

Keep doing what you're doing and don't pay attention to the settings on the machine. If at the end of your workout you feel good, keep doing that.

There is also a fat burn option which I don't use because it wants me to maintain only 120bpm which I cannot do because I can't stand going that slow on the machine. Is the lower bpm going to really make me lost weight faster? you need to give more time to actually see any valid results. you've only been doing it for few weeks. about your comment on "Is the lower bpm going to really make me lost weight faster?" ----> no. it won't make you lose weight faster. its the opposite, the higher bpm, the more you gonna lose.. but if you go about certain level, above your target heart rate, then you gonna start burning more muscle along with fat. what kinda cardio machines you use? the most accurate one is to have your own heart rate monitor, because everyones resting heart rate is different. the machines are not 100% accurate. i just think you need to give more time.

cavefish What kind of cardio machine? Ellipticals are pretty good for losing fat plus you get to stare at all the women around you while using them Yeah, it's an elliptical. I'll just continue what I'm doing for now since it seems to be working.

devilangel you need to give more time to actually see any valid results. you've only been doing it for few weeks. yeah, i know. i was planning on making this a regular routine.

how do i stop getting stretch marks?

how do i stop getting stretch marks?

i keep getting them on my arms. where the biceps are and they're getting longer to where my armpits are. what can i do to stop this?

cocoa butter lotion w/ vitamin e every day after you shower to prevent new stretch marks

who really cares how to get rid of them, just keep lifting.

stop eating fatty

Rebs i heart stretch marks, they are like scars on your hands..shows hard work nigga yea from eating alot too?

get bigger

i alsways get stretch marks there when im bulking, i always took pride in that i was getting stretch marks from my muscles growing so fast instead of from getting fat.

well it's going to take years for them to fade.. so put lotion on it with vitamin e.

Rebs yeah i havent seen my dick in 7 years. i've seen it

Rebs yeah i havent seen my dick in 7 years.

evi1eddie cocoa butter lotion w/ vitamin e every day after you shower to prevent new stretch marks Well said. I put on some cocoa butter on my upper armpits/lower shoulders and upper arm where the current stretch mark would come back in (there's a small one that appeared not too long ago, but faded out), and on my other armpit/arm/shoulder.. Haven't gotten one since. And ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, or whatever the hell the saying is. You won't even get stretch marks there to begin with if your skin is good from the daily applications. PS, try not to go down a ridiculous amount on stuff like DB flys or DB incline bench.. I got the one on my left armpit for having my ROM on one rep uncrontrolled (went down too far). It wasn't there when I went in, checked right after that set... sho nuff, big fat stretch mark.

2nd the lotion everyday. although it wont completely prevent them, i have noticed that they appear less since using vitamin e lotion everyday.
