-- Weightlifting & Nutrition Thread -- v9.0 Optimized

Check my recent posts…this is the only thread I post in right now…and it’s a weightlifting thread…I spend a grip of time on other bodybuilding forums though like IronMagazine.com…but look, I don’t want to argue with you about anything anymore…that’s not what this thread is here for anyway. Although we disagree on some things…we both prolly have a good idea of what we’re doing and we should be trying to help all the other guys on SRK who don’t know what’s going on…and although I use AAS…you will notice I wouldn’t ever recommend even small doses to other people…Unless you compete or plan on competing in the future, there’s no reason to put ur body through that. Can we just bury this shit??

Yeah thats cool, its squashed. I’m just a hothead online :bgrin:

Good luck on that competition Juice.

juice post up some weekly pics so we can see your progress!

Aight guys here’s the deal. I recently started working out. I used to work a whole lot in the past so i’m not like really behind. I stopped for about a year and a half. so…like i was wondering. well i have this workout machine. And its pretty good. The only thing is that it doesn’t have a standard sized bench. Just something to sit and work out on. So can anyone tell me a good workout schedule to follow. I really want to mass up. I’m 6’2 and i weigh 158. I used to work out a lot and i was buff and i maxed out weight at 172. So i really want to mass up. And get ripped. I don’t take any suppliments whatsoever. I just eat and eat…but healthy. And another question if anyone knows. Are cokes bad to drink as a diet. Cause i haven’t dranken one in like…3 weeks…So if anyone could help me out with a really good workout schedule that’ll be great…thanks guys…peace

There’s lotsa good workouts…and I don’t really know what you mean when you say you have a “workout machine”…what does that entail??

I really recommend you get a gym membership if you’re serious about working out…not only could I write up a dozen programs for you with that kinda equipment available…but you could also learn alot from just WATCHING other people lift, and stay motivated…

Cokes are absolutely awful in any diet, be it bulk or cut. You might as well go into your kitchen and eat a few teaspoons of sugar, thats how useless they are. Number one rule of dieting, don’t drink your calories.

Hey magnus you been back to the Chiropractor yet? I’m gonna call him this weekend and see if I can go by and talk to him when I’m in town next.

I have not…next time I go I’m having X rays…I guess I’m a little better…and I’ve been stretching every morning ( Realizing now how tight my hamstrings really were) So as soon as I have an extra 100 bucks lying around I’m going back up there.

When are you gonna be back in town anyway?? We need to lift…

hey weird and possibly stupid yet serious question.

Cheese is supposedly heathy, but i heard that when you eat melted cheese, it’s not good for you,

Any ideas why?

I just thought cheese was cheese

It usually ends up here…http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c107/supersoniccheesy/eww.jpg

:wasted:

Question for people who have experience with creatine monohydrate: What does it taste like? Im thinking about picking some up eventually (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/hp/creatine.html) and Im just curious. I want to try out MuscleTech’s Cell Tech because of the variety of flavors, but for one its way too expensive and I dont see how 75g of carbs and all that sugar would help me get ripped.

Regular creatine tastes like… nothing. There’s no flavor.

Creatine will not help you get ripped by any means…it put’s water weight on you…to get ripped to want to LOSE water weight…the 75g of carbs (sugar) is to cause an insulin spike to help with creatine uptake…

Had one question. I recently started working out and this is i have for a workout schedule…

Mon-bi’s, tri’s ??Is it ok to work out bi’s and tri’s the same day??
Tues-Back
Wed-Chest
Thursday-legs
Friday neck/shoulders

Any suggestions, hit me up. See i want to get built all natural. No muscle enhancing suppliments. But i’ve heard a lot about Whey protein. Is it good?

Yes it’s ok to work bi’s and tri’s on the same day…but it’s mostly unneccesary, and if you must work arms on a seperate day it should come last in the week…since you’re not on the juice…five days might be a bit much and back and legs are the only days that really need to have their own seperate day…how bout this split

Monday: Chest/Bi’s/Abs
Tuesday: Quads/Hams/Calves
Wed: Off
Thursday: Lats/LowerBack/Abs
Friday: Shoulders/Traps (or neck as you would say)/Calves

Or my current split:

Upper
Lower
Off
Upper
Lower
Off
Off…

Also use a form of periodization…except linear…like alternating (what I do), undulating or conjugate…Or in other words…change shit up on a regular basis and follow a program of some sort…

As for whey protein…yes it’s good, but if ur diet is good you don’t necessarily need it…Basically…protein is used to build muscle…if ur diet is lacking in protein then that should be addressed first, then look into supplementation to really up ur protein intake…I like protein shakes Post workout definitely…sometimes right when I wake up or right before I go to bed…

There hoped that helped at least a little bit

Haha i cant believe i discover this thread now. Anyways if anybody wants protein to take. The best recommendation i would have is ISO-PURE protein. They have different ones but the best one would be the one thats labled zero carb(it literally doesnt have any carbs, zero), and its packed with 50 grams of protein(2 scoops). Lets not forget its LACTOSE FREE so no more farts. Tastes good 2. Well only if u stick with the vanilla, and chocolat flavor. ITs kinds pricy but its worth it(40 bucks retail for 3 lbs, about 22 servings/44 scoops). Most place’s have it on sale for about 35 bucks give or take if your lucky. But i would say this is best for cutting down and using as a meal replacement. If u are going for major gains stick with whey or another protein cause it has carbs.

Anybody know what is up with ephedra coming back on the market?

Anyways thinking of a cut cycle of winni with decca. Took this combo before and was happy with the results (cut down the water). But i hear a lot of shit about eqapoise(sp?) anybody know anything about this? Is it better or comparable to decca? I took it a while ago but dont think it works as well as decca.

Yeah ISOPURE is what I take, zero carb Alpine Punch. Not the greatest tasting, but anything is better than the Vanilla.

Yesterday sucked ass at the gym. I was doing dips and pulled a muscle in my right pec. Injuries fucking suck and piss me off.

Winny is terrible for you…don’t use it…ever…period…it’s degenerative to ligaments and tendons and can cause joints to become brittle as well as it’s a 17C alpha alkylated compound, meaning it’s toxic to ur liver and if it must be used, it should be used for no more than 30 days at a time…deca and equipoise are both pure anabolics (not androgenic at all IIRC) that increase LBM gains/strength gains without proportionately increasing fatty deposits at the same time…giving the illusion that they “cut you up”…equipoise is good and also increases collagen synthesis by around 300% as does deca…meaning it’s great for ur joints which is a good trait to have in an anabolic compound because ur joints take a beating with the inevitable rapid progression in weight…Equipoise is going to have to be dosed a bit higher than deca, maybe around 600-800mgs a week at least…whereas a good dose of deca would start around 400mgs a week…Equipoise is a better choice IMO because unlike deca it doesn’t produce a progesterone biproduct which again IIRC KILLS libido (otherwise known as Deca Dick) and deca shuts ur HPTA the fuck down for a long ass time…

Also I would not use zero carb/low carb protein shakes for meal replacements…as they resemble a balanced meal in no shape, form, or fashion…they are supplements and a last resort…a good meal includes protein, carbs, and fibrous veggies in small portions and these should be eaten no less than 5-6 times daily.

So who here can benchpress their own weight in a set?

Also, what is everyone maxing in a benchpress?

I have no idea what I can max but I currently mess around with 3 sets of 8 reps using 140lbs.

I weigh 170

there is nothing wrong with the injectable form, only the tabs, and this goes for all oral AAS.

i weigh 182 lbs and i bench 385(when i was training for a pl comp). but why does everyone compare bp, how much can everyone snatch.
