what do you mean by clean bulking?

Eating healthy foods rather than crap to get bigger. Such as eating whole grain and wheat foods to get complex carbs instead of eating white breads and grains.

Question about bulking though, does it matter the type of carbs and fats you consume if you’re getting the desired grams of each? Also, what role do vegetables play?

Why don’t you ask your “APF” team to show you how to use one?

And you doubt I can bench 225lbs.? Silly child, I’ve done 225lbs. for 26 reps. last winter. You sure do talk/post alot of trash. You think you’re stronger than me, huh? We have kids at my gym that’s just like you that talks alot, but as soon as we load up the plates that he claims he can bench, he can’t even budge them, whining and screaming for dear life “I can’t get it, get it off!”. YOU are one of those types.

Dice Man, if you smell bullshit, then learn to use the restroom/bathroom, it’s there for a REASON. And no, we don’t take pics of ourselves in the gym to show off to interenet clowns, we don’t have time for that crap. In other words, you’re crap outta luck, kid.

I dont need to claim shit, when I have pics to show a 400 lbs bench:lol: …A pic is worth a thousand words.:rofl:

Alright, fuck the pic of your 135lbs bench press claim:rofl: Just show me a pic of yourself standing…I REALLY want to see what a little internet shit talker looks like:rofl:

Ohh BTW…APF is not a team dip shit, its “american powerlifting federation” Then again a 700 lbs squatter such as yourself should know that:confused: :confused:

DONT POST AGAIN TILL YOU HAVE A PIC…FUCKING LOSER:rofl:

Yup, you’re a trash talker and a complete dummy. I know what “APF” means. I was makin’ fun of YOU, internet trash talker. You’re too funny and a liar at the same time. You know NOTHING about power lifting. If you say that you’re in the “APF”, then why in the WORLD don’t you know how a bench shirt functions? You’re just a young dummy typing lies and dumb stuff. You know what, take your behind to bed.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: STILL NO PICTURE:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

how is he typing lies if he just posted a pic up???

You’re absolutely correct.

:rofl: :rofl: STILL DON’T KNOW HOW A BENCH SHIRT FUNCTIONS. :rofl: :rofl:

HeaT, don’t worry 'bout it.

ehh not sure what’s going on but to the topic:

I am overweight and getting back into the gym. Started swimming on a regular basis, due to not wanting to put 320 pounds on my poor knees jogging or w/e. Anyway i was doing some curls, and working on my arms. My biceps are still sore as fuck. Like i did this saturday, and i cannot stretch my arm out full length w/o a lot of pain. I used to work out a lot in high school, so i am famliair with the burn. But this is rediculous

I was wondering should i still continue with my plan of working them out every other day? Or just rest them until they don’t hurt as much? I don’t want to mess up anything, but i don’t know how long the “burn” should last if you haven’t weight lifted in over 5 years.

The work out was a simple dumbbell, curl 10 times, then repeat with other arm. Did this until i literrally couldn’t lift the bell’s anymore with either arm. took a breather than pushed for one more set on each arm.

You need to workout your entire body evenly. I’m not a big fan of “bodypart” splits…and even less a fan of “arm days” because of all the indirect work they recieve on other days…

whats some really good energy supplements. I’ve had a terribly low metabolism all my life…

A healthy diet and a rigorous exercise program.

I do arm days and am not a weight lifter. I would say based on my experience… they’re fine:

good for you. Moving on now.

This is the problem with body part splits…overtraining and a multitude of muscular imbalances. A popular body part split is going to have a day for chest and maybe tri’s…back and maybe bi’s…legs…shoulders…and arms. On chest days the tri’s get worked…shoulder day again tri’s get some work…and then again on arm day…that’s 3 times the tri’s are gettin at least some action over the course of one week…how many times do the quads and the huge posterior chain get ANY work?? ONCE. Does this seem ridiculous to ANYONE but me?? Not to mention the multitude of machines involved in all the isolation work that’s “necessary” to use almost everyday…:rolleyes:

No thanks.

Free weights, big compound lifts, and heavy ass weights…organized and planned out, implementing periodization and systematic unloading weeks. U guys do what you want, whatever. But when you plateau so hardcore you think the world is flat. I will be busy lifting more weight every single week.

why is there so much hostility in this thread? did i miss something ? :slight_smile:

Anyway so you would recommend what type of work out then? Each day a full body work out? Each day i swim, but i’m not to famliar as to what i should do. The split body part workout is what seems to be the norm.What’s another method with the free weights?

IMO, body part splits are easy and versatile…but that doesn’t make them good.

Full body routines are great if put together properly. They are also a great place to start for beginners as they get into weightlifting…and they never lose their effectiveness. There are push/pull/legs routines…as well as upper/lower splits among others.

and of course

if you do sholders on arm day that is only 2 times a week for tris, which is not a lot…

bi’s you will probably hit it 2 times a week, once on back day and the other time on arm day…

This still completely ignores balance and functionality.

shoulders are used EVERYTIME you work upper body. You can’t ignore that almost everytime your arm moves, your shoulder adducts/abducts, or externally rotates.

body part splits = low teir.

Why not workout in a manner where your body is utilized within natural human movements equally?? Instead of isolating muscles you like and neglecting others in the process.

One thing you MUST know is everyone is different. What works for you won’t work for everyone. You can’t force opinions on people, they must find out for themselves! I think doing arms on one day is wonderful. You won’t know 'till you do it. I do say, however, that it’s only for when you know what body parts need a little help. Compounds are great, but working one or two muscles at a time is great, too. I’ve yet to see someone do a bicep workout that doesn’t strain the delts a bit. It’s just a fact.
