MY STATS: Gender: Male Age: 34 Height: 5'10" Weight: ~215 lbs Body fat: 15% or so, haven't measured in a few weeks Body type: bear grrrrrrr! MY GOALS: - short term get in a ring and beat some poor ******* into oblivion - long term open my own MA school or gym and ditch this boring computer work
My lifts suck through complete inconsistency. This really gets to me because I find it hard to put the knowledge into practice as much as I would like, mostly through god damn injuries! Then there's other things but there's no excuses. My lifts suck and I'm proud of the fact that I am now working hard on them and my overall fitness. I'm also proud to post my real numbers that are in good form, as opposed to sloppy poor reps with weight that is too heavy. I have zero clue what my squat or bench is but I know neither are that good. I know I could bench 30something kilo DBs for a few reps and the closest thing I'm doing to squats/deads at the moment is trap bar deadlift - a combo of the 2 really! Did a single the other week of 137.5kg which is 303lbs. Not bad but not even close to where I want to be. Only just started back training with it anyway, that was the second hard workout with them. I know that I can one-arm power snatch a 30kg dumbell also, which is fun I'm starting to work mostly on getting chin numbers consistently over 10 then adding weight getting towards one-armers, trap bar deads, cleans (did 70kg C+P for 5 reps a while back at the end of a set, so god knows what I can actually clean now on it's own), weighted/band push-ups (DB bench when I get my bench back!), romanian deads, overhead pressing and various forms of grip work. Working quite a lot playing football too and definitely noticing more benefits now, my endurance is miles better. I can run about tackling and shooting all day and not get particularly fatigued. In summary, my goals: Be a better athlete in every way. Balls to specific targets, just keep going! Edit: Gender: Male Age: 22 Height: 5'10" Weight: 175 approx Body fat: Not a clue, I would say around 15. Put some on over summer. Damn beer Body type: Mesomorph, slight endo.
Gender: Male Age: 25 (time for the midlife crisis) Height: 6'1 Weight: 165lbs Body fat: Not sure, don't think it's very much though Body type: Tall and skinny as hell Lifts: Deadlift: Finally cracked the bodyweight line and did 75KGs yesterday Front squat (I do this due to having no rack): 48kgs Clean & Press: 42kgs Pretty girly lifts, I think you'll agree, but I'm pretty happy with the way I've progressed in the last year Goals: - Get my weight up to what it should be for my height - Get my lifts up to a point where people don't laugh when they read them - Be able to do the Gibbon pull up - Finally come up with a training schedule that I stick to for more than a month
by the way im proud to say i did 350lb squat for 1st time yesterday , squats are always hard for me cuz im tall i guess my bench is kinda low 225 (dont u just love that sounds of putting 2 plates on each side *CLANG* ) my arms are long as well i guess that has to do with lift as well..
In all seriousness, I don't drink all that much at the moment. Obviously this will change over the coming month but at least it's more of a strength/bulking phase, then I will cut some fat probably after easter. Gotta get those cals from somewhere Besides that, I just haven't been drinking very much, only the occasional binge compared to other times previous. Next on the list is getting eating habits right again - too much damn chocolate! Again, another unavoidable one at christmas but I'm looking to cut out eating frigging biscuits that I eat constantly! Should be my new years resolution. Even then, training is more of a priority than nutrition at the moment. So long as I eat enough decent food, other snacks I'm not bothered about. I have changed my mind - specific short-term goals by January: 10 strict chins for more than one set. Double BW trap bar dead - ambitious but doable I think 5R BW clean - think I already got it 5R BW bench (DB total) - think already have this too 10 HSPUs Better sleep habits - improving already compared to before After that it's onwards and upwards Sever - Nice to see another honest man proud of his achievements
Gender: Male Age: 18 Height: 5'9" or 5'10" Weight: 173 lbs Body fat: Don't know Body type: Stocky, built like a pit bull. MY GOALS: -Already lose 40+ pounds, so, I want to lose the last 10 pounds of fat I think I need to lose before I'm "cut, dude" -Gain 10 pounds back in muscle -Signifigantly improve flexibility
^Stocky? Built like a pit bull? But you're only 173lbs at 5' 9"-10".... You should see some of the guys at my univ gym. Weighs 200+ at 5' 8". These guys look tough.
That really means nothing. Weight and actual physic are very different. You can weigh 200 @ 5'8" and look like crap and weigh 170 @ 5'10 and look great. A scale doesn't tell u much opnly the mirror does!
Im just saying because everyone I saw who weighs that much at your height looked sorta skinny. Most I've seen who looks solid (low bodyfat) at my height weigh 190+. Im sitting at 168 at 5' 8" and I am skinny . Anyways you may just have a small frame and therefore look better without needing to weigh a lot.
Gender: Male Age: 20 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 150 lbs (136 a month ago) Body Fat: Let's just say that the love handles are becoming a little too ergonomic. Body Type: Lord Ectomorph Short term goals (i.e. within 1-2 years): To weight 175 lbs (with no more than 10% body fat). 14 pullups in one set. 80 lbs DB Military Press with Each Arm (for 5X5). 100 lbs Squat (Yes, it's pathetic. Don't know why). Learn how to OL properly.
For your bench, what kind of ROM do you use? After reading "Scrawny to Brawny" (merry christmas to me!) and reading about the big three for ectos, which typically have long arms, mejia said to stop when the upper arm is parallel to your torso, which means no nipple/xyphoid/somewhere around there touch, so almost like a board press, unless you use the arching technique like powerlifters, then you may get a touch, but ROM is decreased still. Any comments on that from anybody? It's also supposed to reduce stress on the shoulder joint a lot. Sorry for the hijack....
