Look boy, I typed to you TWICE why you was WRONG. You need to learn to pay attention. You’re the real moron.
Jorant, you’re still off topic.
Skitz, we’ll be at the next FR9 next year. We gotta get some more Melty Blood goin’ too.
I think I speak for everyone here when I say “shut the fuck up”.
Are these the two posts you are referring to??
All you said is that I’m wrong and you’re right…there is no reason behind your logic except that muscle milk has more calories (which it doesn’t…) and it has more fat (big deal, mix ur shakes with milk, now you have fat)
I already posted the nutritional value of a large carton of muscle milk…which shows that it’s a blend of fast and slow digesting proteins and a complete lack of high GI carbs making it insufficient PWO. It’s better suited as a meal replacement…but even in that department it is sorely lacking…it is NOT a weight gainer. Typical, traditional weight gainers have thousands of calories in a serving and are full of sugar and other crap.
So please…apparently your intelligent remarks of HOW and WHY muscle milk is so damned good and SO DIFFERENT are just over my head…cuz all I saw was “I’m right and you’re wrong…cuz I said so”
You should bar more than dumbell bench. An important note on dumbell movements versus barbell is the involvement of accessory muscles. Basically it is much more difficult to lift dumbells because you must maintain balance of the weight thru the movement and the muscle your are using to do so are typically the limiting factor moreso than your chest strength. For this reason you should always try to include some dumbell work to prevent imbalances. Also dumbell work transfers to bar bench strength quite well, sticking points in bar bench can often be overcome by 2-3 weeks of twice weekly dumbell work.
When I do my leg workout should I run too? Or should it be strictly weights?
Just because you post the nutrients doesn’t mean that you’re “right”. Once again, another long and senseless post from you. Go to bed.
Jorant, keep quiet. Raise your hand if you wanna speak/type.
Running is cardio, cardio is too reduce body fat percentage for the most part.
Building up muscle on yours legs, Magnus already mentioned primarily to do squats, deadlifts, and lunges.
First of all, good post.
Second of all, I stopped reading that guy’s shit a long time ago.
Hm…I’ve heard arguments for bells/bar vs. machines, but
what’re some arguments regarding bells vs. bar?
I’ve always thought about this too. More specifically, when should you use DB or BB for an exercise, such as curling, lunges, ect.
I think too much thought is being put on the subject. I feel BOTH are good… do both, either together or otherwise, and it gives the body a fresh look at a familiar exercise.
Agreed
I use a barbell when I bench because I want to bench more. Perhaps when I level off on gains in strength I will do something different…
I use dumbells when I incline press because to me it feels more natural and it gives my shoulders a little relief. Pressing with barbells for every exercise can be quite hard on the rotators…especially considering the out of control volume some people use regularly…
what is an impressive weight to deadlift if your weight 140lbs???

Where are you?? Do you use straps/belt etc? Where do you want to be? In failed attempts where did you stick?
What does your leg routine look like??
there’s no real answer for what should be good at a certain weight…we dont know you…
i never do barbell with chest…i find dumb bells give me amuch better workout…
what do you mean where am I?
I dont use straps or a belt…
i have never attempted to max deadlift, and i havent done deadlifts in a long time, i mean i do stiff leg dead lifts but havent done regular deadlifts in a long time…
my leg routine, well my workouts are random everything i go in, generally ill get squats or front squats and leg presses every leg workout then the rest are what i feel like doing that day…
how much weight for legs? well that is a joke, cause i do REALLY low weight for squats, for example, i only squat 85lbs for reps…so from that it seems like my deadlifts should be weak but we will see…
tonight i will try a max for deadlift and post up what i did…
for some reason the other day i was like, i want to try to max on something, and since i do not need spotting for a deadlift i decided to chose that exercise…
i was just curious as to what would be impressive for someone to deadlift at my weight…

Wow, you need to triple that weight, friend! Don’t be scared to go higher than that. You’ll be surprised just how much you can handle. Also, remember legs should be worked for longer reps. I’ll rep around 250, 15 times at three sets. I’m not a huge guy what so ever, so this should help you decide what you should/can be doing.
That’s just not true. You may get more of a pump or burn, but higher reps in general make an exercise more aerobic. My legs are my biggest/strongest feature…I never venture past the 12 rep range. That’s not to say higher reps every so often won’t trigger growth, but as a general rule of thumb size comes from rep ranges of 5/6-12 reps.
Guys I cannot stress enough the importance of going into the gym with a plan. And not a workout you got out of the latest flex magazine…but a program.

Periodization.
I’ve explained this concept a few times here, so you guys should all know what I’m talking about. Most of you guys are pretty intelligent…let’s start approaching weight lifting in an intelligent manner. Otherwise we will hit a plateau so huge you will think the world is flat.
