Mar 10, 2015 I Did squats and deadlifts the same day last week. Lol fu- that! Never again I'm a bit stubborn. I did deadlifts earlier, went hard and I'm feeling it on my back now - but I'll just see my way through it and keep goin, I kinda ignore injuries! Shooting for 5 plates. I'm hoping I can hit in a couple months and then move on to 6. Life goal is 7 plate deadlift 1 rep.... Which is around 5 plates for 10 reps
Mar 11, 2015 I'm currently on 4 plates, most I've done so far. I'm taking it slow, don't want to rush it. Deadlifts, squats, & benching take time to get better at. I didn't start benching 2 plates after a year & half of working out.
Mar 11, 2015 Those are decent lifting stats btw ^ I want to enter a powerlifting competition in future which is the only reason I'm pushing myself so hard, wouldn't expect every gym goer to have the same goals.
Mar 11, 2015 Thanks bruh. Power lifting is tough, wouldn't go there, but that's cause I don't like putting s--- ton of weight & possibly hurt my body. Props to you on that.
Mar 11, 2015 Yeah, I'm not too big on lifting, would rather mix cardio and muscle building with martial arts most of the time. I found whey protein to be useful for burning those last few stubborn pounds.
Mar 11, 2015 @mdemaz Yeah Whey in general is the best type of protein there is. Casein, milk, egg proteins aren't bad either. Just avoid soy protein.
Mar 11, 2015 I mean, I'll lift if I feel like it, but I only deadlift and squat to improve defense. I rarely do chest presses'/dumbbells for like full sessions, lol. Maybe a few sets. It really is whatever... I'm not a fan of all the number crunching... it's kinda tedious and it put me off the gym a few years ago, lmao.
Mar 11, 2015 Lol I feel you on that. I hit legs yesterday & decided to play basketball today....bad idea. Couldn't run up the court for s--- & played horrible defense.
Mar 18, 2015 Got back into doing some cardio since the weather has been bearable. Did a timed mile 1/2 run and ran it in 9:26 not bad for a 5 month layoff
Mar 29, 2015 Used to, its stupid. You don't really need it dude. You only feel its effects when you just start taking it...your body will get used to it & you won't feel the pump & energy boost you felt at first. I've taken C4, Assault, Jacked, etc. They only work for a short period of time & imo a waste of money. All you need is protein powder & BCAA's (other su. Before gym I eat a apple & my music playlist is pretty much my preworkout. You don't have to take my advice, just saying preworkout isn't necessary.
Mar 30, 2015 I usually take this stuff called GAT but for the most part I usually cycle off it every 4 weeks just so I don't get used to it. There's some days where I need it and there's some days that I don't take it.
Mar 30, 2015 Creatine is good too, though some people say it doesn't effect them but i feel like I notice the difference
Mar 30, 2015 Creatine is the most scientifically backed legal supplement behind whey protein. It's very effective. Get on AMP Citrate before it gets banned, similar compound to DMAA.
Mar 30, 2015 Creatine didn't do much for me tbh. Whey Protein is great though for recovery from hard training.
Mar 31, 2015 Preworkout is great for when I have to lift later in the day when I'm dragging. Have yet to find a stim that gives me energy as cleanly as Cellucor's C4. It is definitely not necessary, but if you want an energy boost + some nitrates. The main mistake people make is never taking breaks from stims and complaining it doesn't hit them. Just read the labels. Standard Micronized Creatine in B*** is the way to go, 3-5 grams a day. No need to do the loading phrase BS that they advise for users to burn through their product even faster.
