STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[ag 47]

Not being able to get in the gym due to my back resting is killing me.

What sucks is it's still not fully healed, but I will be back in there tomorrow morning to test it with some weight.

 

[luckyluchiano]

I know that feel bro, I'm coming up on a year straight of cutting and I am finally getting tired of it. Thinking about doing a recomp and then cut again.

I`m about to go ham this week because Superbowl Sunday I know I`m gonna have pizza or something and Saturday my girl comes back in town so we prob going out but I might just do IF that day and intake my calories that evening. I know I`m holding water because I actually looked a little smaller in the mid section than last week.

Doing this Deep long cut sucks because of seeing strength loss but I`m losing 100lbs so its inevitable.

cheat doesnt even describe what went down today smh, and my legs are so sore from Friday

Yo, you seem to cheat everyday b

I aint criticizing at all, just an observation.

I'm telling you bros, please believe me, do Insanity for ONE week if you want to get lean but keep muscle. It's freaking magic. As I've said before, I've been doing the same exact workout (Pylo. Cardio Circui: CD 1) since last summer, and I see fat going away whenever I come off a bulk. Quick and easy too.

 

[luckyluchiano]

Last night vs this morning, lower stomach fat is gonna be such a b smh

 

[iam king]

ive been told is probably the best shoes you can use for deadlifts/squats/snatches because of the flat sole.....alot of times our coach makes us go barefoot actually.

Thanks pickup a pair today.

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

Considering that, anyone have any workout plans they'd recommend for gaining size? I'm all ears

I'm trying build up also. Little to no cardio with free weights has gotten me bigger. I do no machines. Just do compound excersices and abs so you don't get a belly. I want to hover around the 200s at 5'11. After I hit 210 I'ma get back to cardio cuz everyone needs at least some cardio every week to stay healthy.





Btw
Anyone here use a weighted vest?
I want to use one for dips, push-ups and pull-ups

I picked these up for cheap.  Works GREAT for lifts, squats, lunges.

 

[cincoseisdos]

I was finally able to get a pair of Nike Romaleos and they are great. Feel real stable doing heavy lifts.

Ive been lurking this thread for quite a while.. Im going to start posting more. Im all for helping people and i also want to be helped. Form has a lot to do with your gains.

For those who want to cut..
-Keep the rep range 8-12
-Diet intake should be under maintenance but keep the 45%-Protein 35%-Carbs and 20%fat...
-Try to do Cardio around 3/4 times a week.

For those who want to get big
-Keep rep range 3-6
-Diet intake should be more than intake but keep it 40% protein 40% carbs 20% fat
-Try to do little to none cardio but do abs so you dont get a belly since youre eating alot.

I believe in timing your meals. typically my meals
-Morning- 2 wheat breads (whole grain), 4 to 5 eggs (only 1 egg white) and some vegies like spinach/tomatoes/onions/garlic (been switching it up with some protein pancakes recently tho
-Snack- a few fruits (2 bananas/2apples/etc)
-Lunch- 1 or 1 1/2 cup of rice (estimate) some protein (chicken or beef) some fats from oils
-Snack-2 scoops of ON protein (after workout)
-dinner- (same as lunch, less carbs)
-Late night- some PB or some cottage cheese or yogurt

I am cutting so i feel like when i time my meals.. im using my inside muscles (organs w/e you wanna say) to have a workout alll day (but just my brosience but got alot of experiece since i am studying nursing)

See you guys soon

Not true, you can still cut and keep your reps lower.

agreed.

 

[stuntman mike]

how are the romaleos on squats?

 

[danielwashere]

how are the romaleos on squats?

Brah, as long as they're platformed/elevated heels they'll be great for squats.

But to answer your question, they're great.

 

[jr23]

what are some good deltoid workouts you guys have had success with?

please explain sir. Just want to know what rep range you should do if you want to cut

 

[ootherocoo]

^ Watched it a couple weeks ago. It was a great watch

 

[bigboss]

Amen. Ain't trying to pay to play.

Those are wrestling shoes? I've heard good things about wrestling shoes for squats etc.

I was finally able to get a pair of Nike Romaleos and they are great. Feel real stable doing heavy lifts.

Nice - those are pretty sick looking for a lifting shoe. I'm considering investing in a pair of Romaleos especially because I've been getting more into Olympic lifts. About how much did they run you?
I go straight to the gym from work - and bike back and forth - so to carry an extra pair of shoes isn't ideal.

What? No offense but this post seems highly bro-scientific. First off - the rep ranges? The 8-12 rep range you mention for cutting is generally regarded as a hypertrophy-oriented rep range. When in a caloric deficit, hypertrophy isn't possible. I'd recommend lower rep ranges (3-6 reps per set) when in a deficit, as it is possible to maintain and even build strength while in a deficit. Now, when bulking, since hypertrophy is the main goal - up your reps and volume.
Also, the cardio when you're cutting. Doing cardio isn't going to spot-kill belly fat and maintain your abs. If you want to maintain definition while bulking, it's all gonna depend on your calorie intake versus what you're burning. Just make sure your surplus isn't too large. If cardio helps you do that, that's fine.
Finally, the whole meal timing because you're using your inside muscles - I'd keep stuff like that to yourself. If it works for you stick with it, but it sounds extremely ridiculous when you read it.

A long watch , but it's worth it. The guy has worked with countless elite Pros. I recently watched this and it just reinforced the reason why I've never believed in bulking or cutting. Off season, fine but you must not let your bf get much higher than when you're "lean".

The carbs after your workout is personal preference I believe, because everyone is different. He mentions suppressing your raised GH levels or something like that, but the amount of GH your body produces after a workout is almost insignificant to affecting gains. But whatever works for you is always the best answer.(I personally gain well off of a post workout meal which includes carbs )

Also, pay attention to how he explains the importance of cardio year round.

Yeah pretty interesting. There were points where I could use better explanations on the science behind things. I didn't find George Farah to be that great or charismatic of a speaker. And I always find watching Kai can be a little depressing for whatever reason. I respect him for his ideas and his success but that rant on attraction got old after a while.
Hilarious how Kai had to eat in the middle of the seminar.
On a lot of this stuff - I think it's most relative in a bodybuilding context. If general fitness, sports training, and strength is more your goal, I think worrying too much about timing your carbs and some of the more insiginificant bodybuilding minutiae is less relevant.

I was able to get them for $189 from rogue fitness.com. I usually go to the gym in flip flops then change to them, if you carry a bag it should be ok.

alot of what you said is broscience, lets be honest

It's more than just going to the gym fellas. It's a lifestyle.
It's wanting it bad enough to sacrifice beers on a friday night.
It's wanting it bad enough to choose grilled chicken over your friends pizza.
It's wanting it bad enough to workout even after a 9 hour work shift.

Just a little sunday motivation for my Team Fit Bros.

Set some goals. Create some dreams. Then Go Get It.
