exercise and pumpup thread

I was being ironic.

And you don't have to way a lot to look huge. That's why we say "It's all fluff". Big muscles don't always translate to incredible strength and endurance. Strength without endurance is akin to having bullets but no gun to fire them.

Fair enough.

you spelled "weigh" wrong. lol

 

[Zeonix]

Liar. You edited my post and changed the spelling. Then hacked my account and changed the spelling in the original post.

 

[Killface]

Your not supposed to be that clever!

**** you.

but i'm not so shure with that proteine and nutrition thing
basicly u get all ur proteine from what u eat, eat when and what u want the thing is not eat to mutch of it so u dont gain fat, dont worry about toxines thats why u have internal organs for, no toxine gets into the muscles and eating green counts only for looseing weight not for geting rid of those toxines that never go into youre muscles

I read this book.

This book has ever useful information and gave me a great work out plan.

Mondays:
Bench, Dumbbell flies, Wide-grip Pull-ups, Close-grip chin-ups, Dumbbell Rows, Squats, Reverse Calf raises.
Tuesdays:
Clean and Press, Bend the Neck Press, Reverse Dips, Hammer Curls, Forearm curls (front and back)
Wednesdays:
Rest
Thursdays:
Repeat Mondays
Fridays:
Repeat Tuesdays
Saturdays:
Rest or Repeat Mondays
Sundays:
Rest or Repeat Tuesdays.

I also do landscaping now, so my work out schedule gets messed up from time to time.

Animal Pak

yeah, there cocky as ****.. and cant wipe their own asses, but they definitely know what they are talking about. I used to be a member, but the arrogance got to me... so i quit.

Nonetheless there is some good information there if you want some help with developing a regimen or learning more about lifting.

My only advice is to learn about how muscle is built and how they work. Ya know... the anatomy. Then learn a lot about the movements and lifts. I can't count how many times I've been in the weight room only to see people have NO clue what they are doing and injure themselves.

Lift smart and you'll see development. I promise that.

 

[final shine]

well the best schedule i know is by muscle groups :
Mondays:
biceps, triceps, sholders,
Tuesdays:
pecs, back, lats and traps
Wednesdays:
cvabiceps, cvatriceps, lower legs and abs( allways legs before abs)
Friday and Saturday work what u want, just to keep tence
Sundays:
rest
anyway its best if 1 week normal training and the next maximal, lift an pull as mutch weight as u can
but i'm gona trie waht u suggested kidman
Edit:
couldnt have said it any better walmart, i used to have no clue what i was doing when i first got there but a HUGE guy teatched me about all i know =]

I don't want to be buff. Sure I wouldn't mine being defined, but I just want to stay trim and avoid gaining a chubby gut.

The problem is, I always feel like I'm on the clock. I have no time to waste since I have a big animation due in 3 weeks and just working can be so boring when I know there are other things I could be doing.

I need to brake that mindset =/.

Building muscle mass isn't as simple as hitting the weight bench everyday. To build muscle mass, you need to follow a strict training regimen and diet. Not to mention it takes a long time of religiously following a strict training regimen and diet to build muscle mass.

Really? Huh, did not do that.

Then what the hell does going to the weight room every other day do?

Build strength and some muscle mass, but you won't find yourself one day looking like a bodybuilder.

 

[Zeonix]

Fluff muscles =/= Strength

Remember that when a bulky guy with spiked hair and 4 popped collars talks **** to you. 90% of the time, they go down hard and fast. The other 10% need to be punched a second time before they go down.

 

[Chakra-X]

Ah, good. That's all I care about. If I ever can get into a regular workout session, my goal is not to become ripped. Is "defined" or "lean" the word I'm looking for?

 

[Zeonix]

Defined = ripped.

 

[Chakra-X]

Ah. Alright, perhaps you could point me in the right direction.

Once I am done high school, I just want to avoid getting chubby and make more muscle apparent. I always thought weight loss workouts and those "low weight, high rep" weight lifting sessions did the trick. What word would I describe this kind of goal?

In that case, you need to incorporate dieting, cardiovascular exercises and weight training. Dieting and cardiovascular exercises for losing weight and weight training for muscle toning. Your weight training regimen doesn't have to be severe, just enough to give your muscles a work out.

Also in my experience with low weight, high repetition sets - they're useless. They do nothing but make your muscles sore, leaving you with little-to-no gains.

Alright, nice, thanks. Now is that like an hour, three times a week?

 

[Zeonix]

As long as you can, every single day. Don't be lazy when it comes to sculpting your body. When one part of your body is too sore, don't work it out that day, and do something else. But keep exercising.

 

[MC]

Thirty minutes should be enough. As for frequency, it's up to you. But the way I learned it in weight training class is that you should alternate which muscle groups you work out each day. So, let's say for example:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Upper body exercises.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - Lower body exercises.
Sunday - Break.

But whatever works for you. Some do both upper body and lower body the same day, some alternate days, etcetera.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about the length of time for working out unless you have other things to do that day. Just write out a set of exercises, number of sets and repetitions per set and once your done, you're done.
