obfuscator Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I want to buy an Olympic weight set....but it would be such a waste of money given how often I'd actually use it. The only "planche training" I've done is just doing pushups with my hands lower down.

muggiwhplar Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I've started tracking my daily pushups. But since I do them at random points during the day, I'm only recording my "high score" for each day. November 09, 2012: 5 pushups, with 22.3 lbs on my backNovember 10, 2012: 2 pushups, with 29.7 lbs on my backNovember 11, 2012: 5 pushups, with 32.3 lbs on my backNovember 12, 2012: 5 pushups, with 35.7 lbs on my back I increase the weight by ~3 lbs once I can do 5 pushups w/ the previous weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Currently on vacation, visiting my parents for Thanksgiving... I bought a 45 lb plate from Wal-Mart so I won't get too out of shape on my vacation. Can't wait to return it for a full refund next week because "it doesn't work." :lol: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Daily "best" sets below. I do a set about every 2-3 hours. Currently trying to develop the proper form for the wall planche pushups. They're really hard to do with socks on since I barely have any traction, so that's what I'm mostly working on now, before I start adding weight and attempting straddle planches.

Irish_Geek Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hit them deep ATG squats 275X6 which was surprisingly easier than 225... Quality posting at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblinpie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Got some new training equipment - A 69mm hub and a 76mm pinch block. It's very humbling to try a 20kg lift with the hub, only to find it be a complete struggle. Managed 17.5kg in plates with the loading pin, carabiner and hub itself weighing around 1.5kg, so 19kg total. Hoping to get some quick gains - 20kg by the end of the month would be nice. For reference, this is a 'hub': [hide] [/hide] POH Agility Course, Please Support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It's okay, I'll visit Jimmy for you. Looking back, my last post here.... was page 1 in 2009. O_o lately I've been mostly watching what I eat, nom more fruits and the brisk walk/jog around the (2.5km) block to slowly get fit. I cant afford a GYM or ANY equipment, so it'll do until I get a job. As for marathon discussion last page, I've always wanted to compete in an Iron Man marathon. (it's an aussie thing), consists of rowing, biking and running. sadly im years away from that. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Don't need a gym to workout. I don't have a gym membership and look at how I've been doing :P Check out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oIB-V4m26GwYkbyw_tSKsQlbxs3uy60IrcRSteJBcqA/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 mind you Im going for more of a swimmers's body/athletic, as opposed to bulk/mass muscle. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblinpie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is that to make your fingers stronger? Are you a rock climber? I've done a lot of gripwork in the past year or so - it's mainly because my part-time job requires lifting heavy stuff with little to no grip - but I figure that the amount we use our hands during the day, having some extra strength wouldn't hurt. Plus, doing double overhand deadlifts has become much easier - I've noticed that a lot of people complain that their fingers give out before their bodies do, whereas my body gives out before my hands do. (The hub and pinch block however aren't for that type of grip - I'm trying to induce some muscle growth for my thumb. I've worked crushing grip a lot, but my thumb is relatively weak.)

DownToFletch Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm not super huge on mass right now. I also don't take creatine, but I believe that most lifters here do. I just can't rule having crystals in my liver if I don't get enough water. Also, it just makes your muscles bigger with water, no? I'm doing more toning and cardio right now. I do some normal super sets I guess. Example:bicep curls (basic)10 @ 25 reps (warm up, get the blood pumping)20 @ 20 reps (feel the burn, sometimes. Depends how tiring my day was lol)15 @ ~18 repsand so on Not really hat hard, but as I said before, toning is my goal. I also have a bad right shoulder, so I have to make sure that I'm completely done training with, say, 20 pound weights to move up to 25, you know? We have a home gym thing at home, but I'm not a fan of it.I usually go to Retro Fitness; http://www.retrofitness.net/Web/ww/en/home.dhtmlThe people are nice, people clean the machines when they're done, and no one is really obnoxious when they lift. I like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 In the past, I would buy 12lb bags of these weight gain supplements and drink them for breakfast. Decided to order another bag for the first time in several months... sadly they no longer have chocolate so I ordered vanilla. Just tried vanilla and it tastes disgusting. Don't get me wrong-- the chocolate wasn't exactly delicious, but at least it was consumable. Just looking at this 12lb bag of nasty vanilla powder makes my stomach churn lol :( Lesson learned: taste it before you order 12 lbs of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Tim, you can't get a swimmers body solely from walking/jogging. You have to strength train too. You really need to stop making excuses and just do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
