GMs = WIN

GMs = WIN

Just did GM's for the first time yesterday, after doing deadlifts my back is sore like a mofo today.. I <3 it from now on I'm rotating gm's and deads every other week

Im going to try them tomarrow after doing some DL, and squats.

Silver85327 Im going to try them tomarrow after doing some DL, and squats. I'll say a prayer for your erector spinae

i alternate them as well

Ceaze I'll say a prayer for your erector spinae

GM's are great, but not on DL day. I couple mine with just squats, though.. and pullthroughs.

EEK your right I read Christophers core routine wrong.

I got lazy and I rounded my lower back during the last set of GM's today. :- I have to focus more or I am going to get injured.

zeromagnus GMs are the one exercise I excel in at my gym...kinda weird, but I'll take whatever I can get does anyone else do them though?

GMs = WIN

Help me find this exercise

Help me find this exercise

I'm pretty sure it's for the lower back. You basically bend yourself over a padded bar while leaning forward alot. You bring your face towards the ground and then bend back up. WTFHELP

Nevermind, i found it Weighted Hyper-extension (back extension)

Help me find this exercise

So can anyone give me some advice?

http://forums.offtopic.com/showthrea...7#post33715897 I'm just wanting to make sure that I'm doing ok. Any suggestions would be great.

looks good but what are your goals? height? weight? bulking slow or fast?

Eat more. 1600 cal/day is nothing. 90 mins-2 hours is a long time; shorter and more intense workouts will probably do more for you. No need to warmup on the treadmill before lifting. I'd also save the stretching until you're done lifting. As far as your routine goes, you're focusing on isolated movements way too much. To build a good base strength you need compound movements involving your whole body. This routine is awesome for beginning: http://forums.offtopic.com/showthrea...8&page=1&pp=25 I would do cardio on off days only or at least at a different time of the day, not at the same time as lifting.

You're strength is not bad at all for a girl. 90 mins of cardio is quite a lot though.

girl you say? I must see a picture before any help is provided to ensure authentic and proper advice

Leb_CRX girl you say? I must see a picture before any help is provided to ensure authentic and proper advice I will post pics as soon as I get to where I want to be. I'm 5'7" and I want to weigh approx 120-130 lbs. (I would ideally like to weigh 120 but for the look I'm going for 130 is a more idealistic goal) I want to have muscle, muscle you can see. Not just muscle that's there when I flex. Basically I want to look like a "cut" girl but not a roid freak Right now I'm in what I will call the fat loss/basic muscle build stage.

isnt 90 minutes on the treadmill a little too much? I would just do a little higher intensity and lower the time.

ok so I updated with my diet info for today.

BuckNut isnt 90 minutes on the treadmill a little too much? I would just do a little higher intensity and lower the time. i don't know if it is or not. is it hurting me? should i stop doing so much cardio???????

Read the two stickies about fat loss by christophers. His first post in both threads are gold mines. I still think your total cals for a day are low but that really depends on your own body. I'd up the protein to help you keep the muscle on while losing fat. This becomes even more important the lower your total cals go. Good luck!

Good luck! awesome thanks. i guess i'll have to start eating more eggs and tuna. and i was suprised at how low my total cals were for today. i'm usually around 1600-1800. and yes a big part to me is keeping the muscle...so i will take your advice and eat more protein. can anyone explain to me why this will help me keep the muscle though?

Protein is a nutrient made up of amino acids. There are two types of amino acids. Non-essential Amino Acids can usually be synthesized by a healthy body from the foods that we eat each day. The Essential Amino Acids however, must be obtained through the daily diet. Protein has a number of important roles in the body, including: ----Repair of body cells ----Build and repair muscles and bones ----Provide a source of energy ----Regulate many important metabolic processes in the body Taken from: http://forums.offtopic.com/showthread.php?t=338364

Hair on my shoulders.. WTF.

Hair on my shoulders.. WTF.

Is it just me to do guys get more hair on their shoulders than the rest of their body (excluding chest, pubic area etc..). I've got slightly hairy shoulders, is this normal? Do any of you guys shave or wax shoulder hair off?

Dude, just braid it.

I can't say I've had a problem with hair on my shoulders...

cbrpimp my roomate has it. we always make fun of him at the gym when he's in his cutoff with his hairy ass shoulders showing We have to swim for school occasionally and I get made fun of.

You are good till you get hair on your knuckles. As soon as that happens go rent a cave somewhere.

@ responses. It's nothing MAJOR.. here's a pic: Shitty camera phone quality, but yeh it's nothing major.. just something i'd rather not have.

Nope can't say i get that

grows very slowly so i shave it once a week along with neck touch up and face

kingfaz @ responses. It's nothing MAJOR.. here's a pic: Shitty camera phone quality, but yeh it's nothing major.. just something i'd rather not have. Can't see shit sir

shoulder hair?

i've been growing a hair here and there on my shoulders lately

Get it removed?

just shave it it cant grow back that fast can it

What you can do is shave it first, then pluck them out with some tweezers.... that works the best. When I waxed mine, that shit looked so disgusting after I did it. It created pimples everywhere w/ puss etc.... I mean it looked better w/ the damn hair. What I suggest: Tan well, shave, pluck hairs, and it should look a lot better!

yeah....

More gripper madness!!! V. JAG

More gripper madness!!! V. JAG

It's the new hottness/ bandwagon on the gripboard. The idea is that by tightening the hose clamp you stretch the spring out adding resistance to the close. I put it on my coc1. It was a fucking bitch to do though.

that looks a little dangerous, i can imagine the spring flying off and hitting you in the eye

Fucking McGyver.

nukegoat that looks a little dangerous, i can imagine the spring flying off and hitting you in the eye dont say such things

I could see it used as a weapon to shoot the spring at unsuspecting people.

fucking cool, i seriously need to get a COC...

superbri007 Grouch, you got problems they need a 12 step program for you "Hi, i'm Grouch and I'm a Grip-Aholic" nonetheless, cool Why not buy a CoC 4 fuck you it's 1337! you wish you had these skillzz. Oh and I have a RB300 wish its like a 3.9 compared to a coc4.

superbri007 Grouch, you got problems they need a 12 step program for you "Hi, i'm Grouch and I'm a Grip-Aholic" nonetheless, cool Why not buy a CoC 4 Like 3 people have closed that..

Ilyusha Like 3 people have closed that.. 5. And none under the new rules.

Grouch 5. And none under the new rules. What new rules?

Ilyusha What new rules? The credit card set. Before it was just you had to close it with one hand but you could set the gripper pretty much as deep into the close as you wanted too.

Now i'm looking into buying a Beef Builder Super Master from someone on gripboard. http://www.wwfitness.com/

b-stevens dude, what???? Its inbetween a 2 and a 3 and i've been looking to get rid of my HG300 cause i dont like the small spread. Addicts never try and justify their problems...

i will still turn your hand to dust

PurEvl i will still turn your hand to dust no, I dont think so.

^^ then instead just put that spring you made onto your CoC2.

terse ^^ then instead just put that spring you made onto your CoC2. shut up. dont use that sound logic with me!!

blow up any cans lately? thats the only reason id buy grippers

anyone selling a trainer?

in for pics of callouses

you're obsessed dude first thing im buying with my paycheck is a gripper...

Shaolin_sword36 in for pics of callouses I've picked most of the big ones off. but now i have callouses on my fingers and not just my palms.

NoXeN blow up any cans lately? thats the only reason id buy grippers no, I really need to get a recording of that and make an animated gif from it. But i think most of the strong guys on the forum could do it.

superbri007 want to know a little trick...use toe-nail or finger nail clippers, and just clip it off, its dead skin so it won't hurt. If it hurts, thats live skin I use a cheese grater
