Any webmaster bodybuilders in here?

I myself enjoy a good lift. What kind of routine do you run? I am trying out a new PPL split instead of the old 5 day muscle group split I have run in the past. Seems decent so far.

[PornDude]

I go to gym daily, I am currently at 215lbs, quite ripped

Been doing this for 15 years.

[Choopa Phil]

Always switching it up. currently doing a PPL vs the typical "Bro-split" just like you. I'm in the gym 4-5 days a week currently 180 @ 5'7 and 8-9% bodyfat

I do the PPL

Nov 2013 I started training again and was at 186 lbs... I only did cardio till about few months ago. I was at 170 and bodyfat was much lower.

I started adding weights into the routine and eating high protein diet ...now I am at 181 and by end of year plan to be super ripped ...


Key is diet as well. This is what works for me at least.. also REST... dont over do it.

[Juicy D. Links]

[seeandsee]

I am going to gym for 7 years.
I never took anything! Just took 100gr of protein once, and i did't like it so i quit with it, that is all.


I am going now 4 times a week. I do 2 groups per visit. Mostly 1 hour in gym.
I don't try to lift big numbers, but i want to lift lots of time!

Finally made it into the 225 bench club. The power rack helped me get there. If anyone wants some tips on breaking a bench plateau, just ask.

My favorite move right now is the power clean. This vid shows the movement, except I don't use those gay crossfit plates because I don't believe in dropping the weight. I drop it to my hips, then deadlift back down. I usually work out with 185 on this movement.

If you really want to improve your explosiveness and get those yokes to start popping out -- then power or hang cleans is the exercise you should work into your routine. I think it's just been great all around for my physique and I use it as my warm up for bench press days.



here's the hang power clean. Don't get the idea this girl is doing 135...those plates are probably 25's...but her form is perfect. The real trick is to catch the bar on a shelf made out of your delts and collarbone area, and get the elbows pointed directly forward. You kind of explode upward and get yourself under the bar, rather than lifting it with your arm strength.

I got to the gym 4 days a week. along with walking and jogging as well.

Gym is about 1 hour and 15 min a day and just simple working out. Monday is full body using only machines and also sit ups. Tuesday is Arms back chest etc. and Wed off. Thursday is Legs and sit ups again. Friday is full body on machines only with Sat and Sun off.

[jscott]

Where Gunner at!?!?!?!

[RummyBoy]

Can you suggest what is a good high protein diet that ACTUALLY is worth eating?

I just do a regular work out once a week which involve simple routine of press ups, squats, sit ups, weights and running machine (a straight 4 mile run which is jogging/sprint with no break).

The problem is that when you work mainly on online and basically have no other heavy activity (sentient) then you're not burning enough. And yet, finding a good high protein diet which isn't going to taste awful or pile on unnecessary weight is difficult.

Anybody know what a more natural building base is anymore?

Just started working out again.. I used to use NOX2 and I loved it.. but don't see it anymore

Just some amino acids I think.. kept the muscle on a long time after I quit too.

any muscle you build will stay a long while normally. Its when people just go on eating frenzies while lifting and gain a tonne of fat and pretend its muscle that people think they lost a lot fast, when really they never built much. lots of protein from foods and whey can get you pretty far if you don't want to get too big into the supplements though. i still like creatine, never had any issues with it.

i keep my workouts pretty simple these days for weights, all the majors, no isolation, lots of weight--the rest is sport specific.

Of course weight lifting & body building's a bit different. My father's one rmed weight lifting champion of the UK several times over. Not disabled, for those ignorant to weight lifting, bench pressing over 400 / 450 lb

[Phoenix]

I am not a body builder. I am trying to get my old body back. I go 4-5 times a week. Lately i do 30 minutes of cardio and just one body part. In and out in an hour tops. I might increase cardio to 5-6 days a week but i have three boys. Just hanging out on a Saturday is enough cardio.

Anyway i have lost 5kgs so far. Want to lose another 7. Then add more weights.
Never heard of the ppl. I will check it out maybe i could do more body parts in one day in the same time. I should add i never sit or rest either. No talking chatting or anything.

I got weak as hell when I stopped taking creatine. It was the first supplement I ever tried.

I literally had to build back up from nothing using more natural supplements after that, but on creatine I could definitely hit more weight for much longer periods of time. Not much rest needed in between reps.

Then I found nox2 and I loved it. Didn't feel weak when I gt off of it either, or took a break from it. It's basically l arginine l glutamine and something else.

Was hoping it still existed.

probably more perception than the creatine. when you say you got weak as hell that probably means you got to a max number X then stopped working out for a while then your max's went down right? You have to remember when you push to your max weights you are essentially over achieving your limits. So when you take a break from that you can only get to your base levels again once you start pushing hard again. This is often mistaken for muscle loss or getting weak but that takes months normally unless you get sick anyway. Creatine only helps about 5% or so tops, its not miracle juice by any stretch.

oh and all those nox, nos, nitro whatever products? ive taken those in the past, they are mostly worthless. a lot of that stuff is found in most whey blends and in meats, its mostly the caffeine/taurine that gives people the 'boost', but that's playing with fire in my opinion, jacking up your heart chemically while pushing at the gym can damage the heart--again this is just my opinion.

[Choopa Phil]

Diomed, there are plenty of pre-workouts out there that have Creatine, No2, etc in them. Check out C4 by Cellucor or MusclePharm Assault. I used to be big into supplementation stick the basics such as a preworkout w/ creatine, and a protein supplement for post workout. Other than that diet is key to your changes albeit strength or size. Not to mention youll save a boat load of money.

Its obviously different for everybody but c4 does absolutely nothing for me. I have tried most and im still sticking with superpump. Dramatic difference for me personally. Well when i was using it, i stopped completely recently, i prefer to get myself amped up naturally. I hate relying on products that you become dependant on. Putting that money towards food is almost always a better option.

So what supplements do you recommend if any to for gym purposes?

Amino acids?
dhea?
Other?

You didn't ask me but.. i recommend food, its the most important, more the better. Food + a protein isolate for mornings/after gym. If you aren't making the gains you want to make , its usually because you aren't getting enough calories, if i were to guess, prob 90 percent of the time. As long as you eat enough and put in a good work ethic in the gym atleast a few days a week, you should keep seeing result for quite a while.

People are usually trying to avoid getting a tad overweight or to get more definition, which makes them watch calories, which makes them lose out on the calories needed to build muscle. It takes alot of food to eat alot and clean.

Usually people focusing on products that give you a very very slight edge aren't even doing the most important things.

Weights mainly (some cardio) and MMA conditioning + Custom HIIT (eg. battle ropes / tractor tire flips)

Power clean is my favorite also but just like dead lifts, form is seriously so easy to fuck up. Nice videos, that chicks form is spot on.

As Pseudonymous said, eating right and doing the work is key.

Supplements wise I have had good luck with BCAA and some good quality protein powder like Whey 80. But I am just getting started again after many many years of a big ass break.

So I do full body workout 3 times a week and so far, in the 2 months I have been at it - with the supplements above - I have had very awesome results. But if I recall, the first 6-9 months are the ones where you will always see awesome results. Both on your body and in how much you can lift.

[xxxjay]

get into a routine and stay in it... don't take breaks or make excuses no batter how much you want to... I'm not in a bodybuilder but I'm in really good shape for my age

I've only ever lifted for strength and conditioning(wrestler growing up).. so, lifting "just cause"(duh, health) is weird to me. I'm naturally a big / strong guy, though, so unless I'm going to be competing in something, it's hard to justify being stupid strong. I'm one of the lucky few with good genetics.

I'll hit the gym again soon, though.
