Hello fellow /fit/izens, this thread I dedicate to my goals, current stats and please feel free to join me on a great journey in 2018.

I am 190 cm and 81 kg currently(6.25' 180 lbs), I play waterpolo in amateur league and want to get the body of my idol, Terry Schroeder. My pros:

- Tall, have a wingspan of 201 cm (6.6')

- Decent frame since I was a swimmer in high school

- Stopped consuming alcohol, only drinks occationally

cons:

- Visceral fat around belly and tits

- Puffy tits if they not hard (I hope it's just fat, will definitely consider operation if it's gyno)

- Gym bros lift very early in the morning and I am studying, sometimes I am tend to skip for extra sleep

- Pot smoking and cigarettes if in depression

Please give me your thoughts advices, I will gradute this summer, have to find a job and it will be lots of stress, join me on this journey and lets make it together !!!

Im having a baby in april,

Been going to the gym less and less;

Dont know if I will have time to go when baby arrives.

Wife says it can be my escape time but we all know shes a lying bitch

I hope I can make it and not lose too many gains

-get bench to lmao2pl8 for reps

-improve core strength

-get weight to around 200 pre-cut (im 6' 175 rn)

-actually do some cardio in the gym

-start training for mma (bjj, judo, ect)

Also if I dont get a gf soon I might start cycle tren and test because at this point I dont think I'll ever use my penis anyway.

>>131576

>Puffy tits if they not hard

Doesn't look like gyno to me just seems fatty. I've seen a couple guys with gyno shits much worse than what you've got.

>Pot smoking

Best of luck to you on this. Graduating and being forced to find a job, then having to deal with the stress of my new job was the biggest killer of my health back in the day. My advice is to do the best for your body now, so you can have that foundation and habits to withstand the stress later. Working out regularly now has made my body extremely durable to those times where I need to work myself extra hard. Also try not to let that change in your life change your living habits.

>join me on this journey and lets make it together !!!

- I want to get even leaner and finally take my shirt off in public.

- I might dish out and try the Wim Hof breathing technique program.

- Maybe find a gf for once.

- Then make more money on the side with business.

- Definitely challenge myself more at the gym and improve my squat and deadlift. Maybe meet some fit bros as well.

My big goal is to try and get a five plate deadlift by midyear. Currently, I'm at 415lbs., though I didn't find the lift all that difficult and could probably add another 20 or 30lbs. I also want to improve my abysmal squat and get a three plate bench press. On bench, My PR is 245lbs., but I set that a couple months ago and hope I've improved a bit since then.

I could afford to lose some fat while I'm at it too, but I don't really know where to start since I'm bulking now. My daily diet, discounting fruits, vegetables, and beverages, is oatmeal for breakfast, half a dozen eggs with some toasted English muffins or French bread for lunch, and either brown rice or pasta with a side of frozen chicken for dinner (I grill steak about twice per month and really should get more.) I rarely eat any desserts (maybe twice per month) and don't have bad habits like smoking or drinking, but when I feel I need more calories, I usually eat a bowl of cereal. How do I lose the fat without sacrificing the gym and the gains?

Get my deadlift over 200 lbs this year. Though I still get the psyched out after throwing my back out deadlifting last year.

Cut down under 10% bf for the summer.

Aside from the cardiovascular health benefits it will help with your performance on endurance sets (i.e. dropsets, lighter weights for more reps, etc.) and if you ever plan on doing ANY sort of athletics outside of weightlifting your conditioning is paramount.

And don't worry about all the painful shit you're getting just starting out, just your body getting adjusted. Think about how DYELs start w/baby weights. You're a cardiolet.

>Where's the pump? I need some physically enjoyable feeling.

I can't speak for sprinting/explosive running, but in endurance running the 'pump' comes from the pain of pushing through the runner's wall. IMO nothing feels better.

>>131800

Honestly recommend dropping the music and just focusing on your breathing. Not being aware of your surroundings because of the music and running can also be very dangerous, unless you're somewhere contained like a track.

How long until the stitches, shin pain and stomach cramps stop happening?

Yeah I know, how long is a piece of string, but fuck me this is more unpleasant than lifting. The worst is probably the shins, they stop me running, some days they hurt sooner than others, and I can't stretch them away like a cramp. Atleast the stomach cramps hurt me after I'm done.


a99e3e  No.131830

>>131826

>How long until the stitches, shin pain and stomach cramps stop happening?

Your stitches and stomach cramps come from the fact that running is also a core workout, this may sound like obvious advice but make sure to breathe properly. And do more abdominal exercises and breathing shit.

The shin pain likely comes from your stride, for me it had to do with landing on the heel of my foot instead of the ball or mid foot. If you don't fix that shit ASAP you will develop shin splints, which will make you unable to run for a long ass time and is extremely painful.

>>131837

The best way to deal with joints is to use an active-stretch principle in your workouts. Active stretching is where you stretch and then resist the stretch. Using it in workouts results in resisting stretches more maximally, as in gymnastics. This frees up scar tissue and resets your fascia, which is the rubber underneath your skin that makes young people elastic. Your fascia/scar tissue (they're similar) is too deep, and not thick enough evenly enough around your muscles. Reps builds up the fascia, and active stretching breaks it down. Whole body active stretching will free up everything, and then doing some gymnastic shit in high volume and repetition will reapply a fresh coat.

Image relevant. The theory is bullshit ignore it.

>>133138

No I gave up on exercising overall. I just maintained somewhat. Those numbers are different times in my life. 205 in high school, and then 185 a year after, and I stopped training bench because it didn't feel right for my shoulders; the OHP, squats and deadlift were all at one time though after a couple months of training.

I've decided gymnastics and isos have the best translatability, so I'm going to do gymnastics, isometrics/static movements (holding a position or trying to push/pull/bend/crush something I can't), lots of stretching, iron body training (hit yourself while relaxed, all over), high rep calisthenics and cardio/plyometrics.

If you approach any workout type as a battle to the death, you'll get results. I have an 80 lb weight vest though, which I'll probably use for calf raises and maybe a lot more other shit.

Wow your stats and goals are remarkably close to mine. I can 1RM 2pl8 on bench but my 5 rep set is still just under 200lb which is ~90kg.

On that OHP is that standing push press where you use your body to help or a stationary press of some kind? I can push press 1pl8 but I'm pretty sure if I tried doing it from a seated position I'd get one or two reps out max.

how tall are you?

>I can 1RM 2pl8

Exactly the same for me

>is that standing push press where you use your body to help

It's standing with form like its described here:

https://stronglifts.com/overhead-press/

However i feel like i overarch my back and it generally feels unhealthy to do.

Since i set the 1pl8 PR i've mostly changed to a seated plate loaded machine and only do my lower weight volume sets with a barbell

>how tall are you?

5'11"


eaec3d  No.133607

>>133562

Strange stats.

Might as well post something for weight lifters in general:

You'll need to stretch more to get more out of the squat and bench. You want soft muscles when you're not tensing them. Then BOOM hard as steel. That's the ideal. The more of a difference between tensed and relaxed, the more power (and strength). That goes both ways though; more tense or more relaxed, try to get both.

Active stretching will remove the scar tissue in your muscles and excess fascia.

Focus on rows, since if you don't mention them then you probably don't work them out much. The big lifts aren't a complete workout. Focus on variety and volume with lighter weights (20 RM, 12 rep sets, 6 - 8 sets) and lifting heavy once a week. Bent-over row, 1 arm db row, face pull, chin ups, wide arm pull ups, planks with your hands way forward, narrow/wide, L-sits; incorporate these and DB varieties of the BB lifts and you'll see improvements quickly. 3:1 pull:push ratio.

Bench will fuck up your shoulders if you don't have a massive, strong back and boulder shoulders (which you'll get from rear and lateral delt work, not front delt work). Throw in core/oblique specific work (fuck those who say it's unnecessary) and you'll have solid progress. Stomach vacuums, L-sit, plank with arms forward, cable crunches, sit ups (high high high reps), and cable woodchoppers.

Squat misses a lot of leg muscles, so do leg curls or glute ham raises (as in, raise yourself from the knee not the hip like you would in a back extension), front squats, crouched and standing calf raises (slow, time under tension, no bouncing, hold the top of the lift), hanging weighted leg lifts (roman chair or pull up bar, time under tension, pause at the top, hold the weight between your ankles) and split holds (do a split forward/back or lateral, try to hold yourself up while sitting up straight without assistance; add weight when you can do a full split).

If you disagree post your smug implications.

Your abdominal muscles are stabilizers in a shit load of different lifts. Directly training them will help all your other lifts.

You could always do SS

But seriously if it's giving you results then do it. I sort of just dicked around with an upper/lower split for my first few months, which can if done right give amplified newbie gainz.

Sweet Christ, I hope that's not all you're doing to train for a marathon.

I am going to build on that a lot.

Only thing you need in addition for your leg work is bulgarian split squats. Unilateral movements actually improve symmetry and develops strength/muscles you can't with bilateral movements (unless you're a muscle wizard). Bulgarians are different depending on how far apart your legs are as well; you'll want to focus on quads since most of your lifts are for hams/glutes. Switch your back squat for a front squat for a month, then alternate between the two.

Core work is definitely a must. In the morning, do a set of reps near-failure for sit ups, then a set of alternating leg lifts without setting your legs down, reps to near-failure (you should be tired so this set should be small) after resting 30s. Don't fry your CNS, leave some in the tank. Do active stretching as suggested afterwords. Do stomach vacuums later after working out. >>132978

There are some good stretches and exercises here, do these in the morning along with the splits. Hit the stretch point then start pushing/pulling against it; it's a vulnerable position though so don't be "too active". Try to use your whole body to resist it so your whole body gets the benefits of it and gets rid of scar tissue/excess fascia and loosens you up.

If you can make the stretch better with a less exaggerated posture, then do so. You shouldn't have to lean more than a couple inches into a stretch, as a rule of thumb.

Other stretches are the rotations. Put your arm behind your back (over your kidney) for leverage then push the elbow forward with your other hand. Put your arm forward as if you were going to arm wrestle someone then hook your other arm underneath it, and interlock your hands to rotate.

Sit on your feet/knees, then splay the feet out besides your butt instead, and lean back or forward. The more splay and more lean, the deeper the stretch. Sit in a full lotus then lean forward or back.

Before working out, workout all of your mechanically weak areas lightly and slowly, pausing in the stretch position for each rep. So, a press from behind the neck, a lat pull down behind the neck, lifting a curling bar behind the back, cable front raise, cable pull down (straight arms as well), cable rear fly, sissy squats, bw bulgarian split squats, and whatever else I missed. Don't wear them out just make sure your body can feel them and they get a slight pump. Use different grips.

Do some stretches in your problem areas and easy to stretch areas next. Don't stretch too deep, just 3 seconds will do. If you've done morning stretches you'll know your problem areas. Make sure your body is elastic and all warmed up with some high knees, rotating your hip (lift your knee and go in circles), rolling your shoulders, opening and closing your hands, rotating your ankles, hopping in place, light twisting in place, leaning and twisting to touch your toe with the opposite hand, leaning to the sides for the obliques, and your neck and jaw. You'll be good to go after this.

Honestly if it were me I would actually workout my mechanically weak areas with a 20 RM weight, 12 x 8 reps x sets the entire workout, going for a pump and body building those areas. I'd check out some anatomy stuff online and do 30+ different exercises to hit all the under developed muscle groups and awkward positions/motions, focusing on asymmetric movements, getting into normal exercises at the last half of the workout. Then I'd do a single heavy set 5 x 1 of something at the end, such as DL or Squat. That's how I would do it for strength training even. Keep the CNS fresh, something left in the tank, so I can workout 6x a week. I would do active stretching after that. At the beginning of the week I would do an oly lifting routine instead, and at the end of the week I would do a gymnastics routine instead. I'd do cardio earlier in the day or later in the day depending on if I lift in the evening or morning.

You just have to stretch all of the muscles in your legs. Can't just focus on the ankles. There's a stupid number of muscles in the legs that can mess up everything up or down the chain.

My goal is to gain at least 10 lbs of lean mass this year. Hopefully I can manage 15 or something like that. Any advice on how to count calories without going insane would be appreciated.

stats:

>6'2"

>190 lbs

>12-13% bodyfat

Another goal would be to get some more weights to use. The ones I have are now not enough.

Thanks for the advice

>bulgarian split squats

Is there something that targets this that looks less like crossfit meme exercises?

>do a set of reps near-failure for sit ups, then a set of alternating leg lifts without setting your legs down, reps to near-failure

Sounds very good, didn't even consider hitting abs while out of the gym, doing it in the morning is perfect.

I don't know is doing it with the weights in an OHP lockout position more or less cross-fit?

Don't be in a high school clique mindset and lift the fucking weight Hans.
