GOAT...waist to back/delt ratio is amazing (even though it has alot to do with his genetics. Being he has small joints and amazing muscle bellies)

Don't forget those Good Mornings and stiff leg Deads for that slim waist. Really brings out the V-taper, and builds your hammies and calves as well.

Didn't you say you wanted to cut to 200? Why bulk and add on fat after you've already dropped so much?

crappy workout today. cut it short at 40 minutes. all the junk food really got to me - didn't think it would affect me this much. gotta just push myself harder. gonna load up some new songs on my phone. those mixes are good for the car but i actually don't like working out to rap/hip hop. i prefer electronic music or metal.

It's mental bruh bruh. Get passed it. Tomorrow you're gonna go harder than ever. I feel you on needing new music though. I swear a new song that gets me going increases my intensity thus increasing my numbers tremendously.

Prone leg curls: 4 sets 20 reps @90

Leg press: 3 sets 15 reps @360

Barbell squat: 2 sets 20 reps @135, 2 sets 10 reps @205, 2 sets 12 reps @185, 2 sets 20 reps @45

Standing calf raises: 3 sets 20 reps @140

quick question tho, why is it whenever I go heavy on dead lifts and bent over barbell rows, I feel like I get the wind knocked out of me....


Has me shook every now and then laugh.gif

And it's usually only those two exercises that get to me 

when is your inhale and exhale? a lot of the time people forget to breathe properly during deadlifts

Actually to get the most effective and safest deadlift, you shouldn't breathe or breathe as little as possible. It can certainly be done while breathing, but its not as safe or effective as using the valsalva maneuver.,

That bent over position doesn't allow the thoracic cavity to fully expand which limits the amount of air that you can inhale or exhale.

I tried and hated the vasalva maneuver on deadlifts. I stick with the classic in on the negative and out on the positive and have never had any issues.

So I have a questions for you fellas.

My semester break started a week ago and I switched from doing all cardio on the elliptical to just lifting weights just to see how it is.


My main goal is to lose the excess fat that I have, and I was curious if it was a good decision to just lift weights in order to attain my goal since I've heard that cardio would actually work against my muscle gains. Do you guys think this was a good choice? Or am I just wasting time? nerd.gif


Lastly, I'm confused as to how many calories I should be consuming each day to attain my goal. I put my info onto the MyFitnessPal app and it says that in order to lose 2 lbs. a week I should just eat around 1800 calories or less. How many calories should I be consuming since people have been telling me that I actually have to increase my calorie intake due to the weight lifting?


Much thanks for any help guys.

Terrible workout today... Rotator cuff is sore/injured. I'm been doing exercises to prevent injury too.

Going to rest this weekend and rehab it. Lateral raises and other exercises with a 5 lb dumbbell. Going to use ice and heat packs too.
Felt sorry for my maid, I gave that girl a raise. She said you got too many Js, I'd be cleaning for days.

All that depends on a number of things. Calculate your BMR and go from there, they even have macro calculators online if you want. You should increase your caloric intake if you want to gain mass. I stay at a caloric deficit while still lifting because I'm trying to lose excess fat like you are. I've read that something like HIIT WILL work against your muscle gains. But walking at a brisk pace at the park or on a treadmill after you lift weights will actually help with fat loss.

My cardio really only consists of walking for 30 minutes on the treadmill or skipping rope for 15 minutes.

Hows squatting with a smith machine? The kinda of smith where the rails are kinda angled. I feel really wobbly when I do regular squats, (never really cared about my lower body til about the summer time since I played ball a lot, but my groin injury set me back when I began squatting). I dont know if I feel uncomfortable cause my groin is in the back of my mind, but I feel much better squatting with that smith my gym has. I try to keep my back straight and just go for it, I had a pretty decent leg workout with that and the leg press machine. I also tried doing the squats where you sit on the edge of a bench and explode up, maybe I should try going heavy on that?

Welcome to my favorite thread on NT. Lots of good advice in here as well as your own little support group to provide motivation. 

I always tell dudes, I don't care if you're 500 lbs or 100 lbs, as long as you are making a change that's all that matters. As long as you are in the gym day in and day out, eating right, that's all that matters. You'll not only notice changes in your body but your mentality in life as well. Things that never seemed possible will now become within reach.

I wouldn't recommend it, if you have other options. I would just use the regular bar, start of low and just work your way up with the weight. There's too many pieces to the exercise you're giving up by going the smith route (i.e. core/balance stability, form, secondary muscle stim). Of course, if that's your only option, then you can make it work. But if it's a matter of this or that, I'd go with the free bar every time.

All this why are you cutting and losing weight then bulking and adding fat blah blah blah.

 

That is the only way to gain muscle, eating over your daily calories, and some fat might be added depending how clean/dirty your bulk is.

Y'all, there's a men's health app that has a bunch of workouts loaded on it. I recommend it for all who are looking to do something new 1 or 2 days a week. Going to do "The Spartacus Workout" today for fun. Looks crazy intense!

"men's health workouts."
I got the paid version because it has all the exercises and workouts.
