It's like what @jmmainvi said, you know about working out and gaining muscle mass, but when it comes to medication you clearly know little to none and then you give a trigger-happy response. Not being able to eat regularly is a huge problem; lifting does not change this. I've been taking Carbamazepine for years and it works for my epilepsy, so I can not worry about having a seizure when jumping off a building. Marijuana helps with the inability to eat, but it lowers my focus. I've been living with this for a while and it works more than anything else I've tried. To put it in more simpler terms, it's never made me feel more normal since I was first diagnosed with epilepsy in elementary school. If you honestly think that I haven't tried anything and that I still do parkour with epilepsy then I should be either dead or paralyzed. jmmainvi has said in previous threads that they're becoming a nurse, clearly they knows more about medicine more than you.
You're forgetting the part where I tell you to ask your doctor. If he says there's nothing you can do, then okay.
went to the gym yesterday and played basketball for an hour then did arms,back. gym was closed today (3/5) due to snow doe....
Goals: 185# bench (currently 175#) 355# squat (currently 345#) 355# deadlift (currently 335#) 150# bodyweight (currently 142ish) Larger upper body; more developed traps + forearms, stronger back, fuller chest. Any tips on increasing deadlift strength? Currently I squat more than I deadlift, and I have been told it's because I am very quad-dominant in my lifts.
increasing your surplus, eating more carbs for energy, mix grip, warm up w/ 4 sets building up on weight, jog for 1 or 2 min as a warm up to pump up blood, etc. you can also try pre-workout too
I don't really know stuff about % or weights but I've been going for the gym for the last 5 years 4 days a week. Every week. And I just train as hard and heavy as I can. Combined with a high food intake and keeping away from snacks, candy, cookies, or anything unhealthy in that way. Personal goal? Don't have one, I just like to train and be fit and a bit buffed. And keep improving myself bit by bit. I know if I want to grow from here I should watch my intake and calculate stuff. + try some new exercises since I've been doing the same things for years now. But I figured to eat fish or chicken every 3 hours I would double the monthly base I spend on food.
Started at 280lbs in January, I'm now down to 249.6lbs Goal right now: Go from 250 to 235 by December 31st. Overall goal: Get down to 160-170lbs. As far as exercise goes, I'm not allowed to run yet, soon hopefully. Even at that, my running is shit due to nerve damage. I'd like to get back to where i was in high school as far as being able to swim roughly 2-3km 3-4 days a week.
Oh man, where do I start. Like actually, where do I start? Haha. I've always been moderately skinny looking, but only until 2 years ago did I realize skinny doesn't translate to healthy. Because I'm still a student, I haven't subscribed to any gyms. I was introduced to P90X last year, though. Made it a month, until the finals started kicking in. I have tried going to the gym last week (because it was a 'try before you buy' kind of thing). As someone whose almost never worked out in front of people, kind of over-whelming. All I did was go on the elliptical, oh boy. I only last about 30 minutes in there before I start acting like a baby and wanna go home. In terms of food, welp, let's just say I'm living with someone whose in food nutrition and I'm she likes to yell at me a lot, lol. However, one of the things that I'm pretty excited/nervous about is dragon-boating which I've recently getting into. I've been two 3 practices and the body gets so sore after it's insane (largely due to how unfit I am and lack of strength). But nevertheless it is pretty fun and I guess one of my goals is that I'll be more motivated to get fit and healthy through the sport, and get some things done (If anyone has tried dragon-boating and would like to give me some tips on handy exercises, let me know!)
I just wanted to update this post since it has been close to a year and as I have kept up working out regularly. A few months after the p90x3 cycle I began to do more power lifting workouts which consist of squats, deadlifts, and bench press. I began to do these lifts to work on more strength gains compared to body building workouts. When I started my form was terrible and the weight I was moving was low. I have been doing power lifting workouts for about 10 months now and my current 1 rep maxes are squat = 240 lbs, dead lift = 335 lbs, and bench press = 225 lbs (yes I know my squat is weak and I almost bench more, but keep in mind I had never squatted before this and I really have just now corrected my form). This gives me a total weight of about 800 lbs for the 3 combined power lifting movements. The real long term goal I have is to be able to lift a total weight of 1000 lbs eventually (this will take a few years no doubt). My current weight is around 155-160 lbs depending on the time of day and how much water weight I am carrying. This means In about a year and around 3 months I have put on about 30 lbs of weight (not all muscle of course). Also I can still pump out just as many body weight exercise (pull ups/ dips/ push ups) as before weighing more. Here is a current picture for reference to my starting pictures (same disclaimer as before, I am not here to show off just simply to record my progress). Cya next year Royals Fitness
It's Christmas Day, the calendar says LD/C Leg day + cardio it is! Good thing I had some quaker Spoiler and half a turkey as side dish for breakfast
I just wanted to boast about losing 12 pounds, gaining muscle, losing my stomach bit by bit, being able to run longer/faster and actually being able to do pushups again /blog
Nice to see a theard like this. Im a Powerlifter-Training for max weights. I've been PL for about 7 years and was also a cempetitor in Israel state champ . took twice 1st place for 110kg and 100kg b/w class year after year and after that stoped with competitions. My student job is gym private instractur. My corrent status and weights : Bodyweight : 105 kg Height : 183cm 1RM : Squat - 282.5 kg , DL -305 kg , BP - 200 kg.
Bought myself a fitbit with the idea of starting to use the local gym for swimming/walking/weight lifting. Gone back to counting calories on MyFitnessPal (with 1 cheat day a week). Any advice for a gym newbie?
