Profondo Rosso posted:I don't think you understand how pant sizes work. My waist fits comfortably in a 30, it's just incredibly uncomfortable, bordering on painful, for my thighs as size 30 pants are designed for the average person that wears them, not someone with swole thighs and a 30 waist. Short of cutting chunks of muscle from my thighs I cannot change this You're not swole if you're just learning that you can't fit into jeans.

I gotta start doing sit ups I guess, cause I want abs and I've noticed my stomach is slimming down on this lowfat diet I'm doing. Anything else easy for an ab workout at home? I got a perfect pullup bar that I hosed around with sometimes, and I managed to climb up my fire escape wicked easy when I locked myself out which is another goal.

Paper Diamonds posted:185 5x5 was easy today. Felt light picking it up from the rack. Feel like i should have tried 205 again but decided to stick to 185 because I've failed 205 a few times in a row now. Add some extra volume in. Like another set or two. Backing off works but is horrible in terms of long term strength gains.

I think about what would happen if I have a stress fracture in my femur that gave out. Or if I slipped a disk. Or if I failed and my cage broke and the weight took me neck first to the ground. And what it would be like to be crippled after that. You know, normal stuff.

Yeah just eat/lift more.Profondo Rosso posted:That seems like kind of a bad idea (although I'm no expert). Dumbbell benching puts far more strain on your stabilizing muscles, and if you're doing it right after a different form of bench press (i.e. after you wore out the tris/chest already) it would be a recipe for for injury if those muscles aren't already pretty strong (which they likely are not if you are struggling to go above 135 with the barbell). If dumbbell benching after barbell injures you you were never meant to lift. But if you're asking for advice in this thread this is what you deserve. Uxzuigal posted:Think I might struggle to get enough protein naturaly through my diet. I do one protein shake after each training session usualy, but considering to up this to one in the morning, one after training... I prefer natural foods, but not always that easy to fit in. Also: gently caress my shoulder. Something weird with it again, no sharp pain though so will try to fight through it at the gym tomorrow and see what happends. One shake with breakfast, one after I workout, and eating normal amounts of meat puts me around 175g a day which is perfect for me at 200lbs. How much do you think you need?

Uxzuigal posted:I am thinking around ~125g @ 86kg (190lbs) - Guess my estimate was abit low. Eat another chicken breast or another two scoop shake. Eat a little more protein in each meal. Now you're probably over what you need. Profondo Rosso posted:yeah but you have to keep in mind someone who cant bench more than 135 (i.e. is weak as gently caress) is going to have to be real careful to avoid injury How is that any different from someone else? Just don't lift more than you're able no matter how strong you are. Whoa! Crazy poo poo.

Profondo Rosso posted:i'm not denying you know far more about lifting than I do, but it seems kind of obvious someone that can barely bench 1 plate pushing themselves to failure right after is going to have worse form/mind muscle connection/knowledge of how far they can push/chance of injuring themselves than a veteran lifter doing the exact same thing He said he wasn't going to failure. I thought you were talking about just dumbbell pressing after barbell pressing, like I said. Generally beginners going to failure isn't a good idea, I'd agree there.

Here's the secret to not getting big and bulky: don't eat so much. Why would you not want to get stronger at the same bodyweight if you are a karate master?

It's easy to learn on your own and yet goons gently caress it up all the time. Uxzuigal posted:I strongly dissagree, it's extremely easy to make bad mistakes that could cause injury to your body. Having someone to correct you is invaluable. How can you say this and recommend he get some random personal trainer. Try going to one of these gyms, Dza. http://www.saskpowerlifting.ca/index.php?id=9 I can't stress how much it helps going to a gym where people actually care about lifting. Figure out who's in charge and tell them you're new and don't want to gently caress yourself up, and they should be able to direct you to someone who can help. Or just find the biggest dude that doesn't act like a piece of poo poo. Most of them are usually nice.
