Damn guys, I fucked up my chest pretty good last Sunday at a Bench press competition.:sad: My piece of shit bench suit ripped on my way down on my 1st lift and caused my shoulder to hyperextend and I ripped my Pectorial major right off of my Humurus (which is attached to the bicep, shoulder area)
Got a MRI yesterday and saw a sports meds specialist today and he told me I will need surgury to fix it! Good news is it will be back to 100% after 3 months or so with good rehab! He said there would b no reason that I could not compete again in the fall!!:tup:
The 1st pic is where just seconds after the pic was taken my suit tore on the way down.
Nothing that I have not benched before, I always open my 1 of 3 lifts with 375lbs, then 2nd was going to be 400lbs and then I was going to try a personal best at 425lbs for my final 3rd lift! I would have been ok if the suit didānt rip on the way down!
Ohh well, guess Iāll be back to benching the freakin bar after my surgury:sad:
Damn this really sucks, I think i need another vicoden or a six pack to get my mind off this shit!!!:sad:
Well this thread is about nutritionā¦ has anyone else tried Bumble Beeās Albacore Steaks? Theyāre so small but theyāre packed with 35g protein each. I can finish eating 2 of them (70g) in 10 mintues and still not feel full.
Only downside is they donāt exactly taste all that great (dry and rubbery), but who caresā¦ for a light snack thatās protein-heavy it canāt be beat.
damn juice you nutcase, 375 as your warm up lift!!! crazy weights.
nice pics though, youāre pretty damn strong, what can you bench without your rubber suit?
dont worry about your pec, youāll be back to normal soon enough
oh and magnusmadness, can you post a picture please, youāre dishing out lots of advice, and you mentioned you want to be a pro. lets see the product of all this theory.
Iāll try and post some pics after my cut here in the next couple months. I already said earlier Iām not a big guyā¦Iām almost right at 200lbs at around 12-14% BFā¦itās gonna be a few years and a lot of juice before Iām gonna feel ready to competeā¦I think I might do my first amatuer show next summerā¦we will see.
And are you questioning my advice?? Shit Iāve stated on here is pretty basic factsā¦not theory. You donāt see me giving advice to romie or opticallyinvis or juice or chaos do you?? Iām mostly trying to help out newbs and beginners or people whoāve been fed a bunch of BSā¦and Iām just about the ONLY one on this thread thatās trying to answer every question.
You know whatā¦Iām done with this threadā¦peace out.
Question?
Iāve tried a lot of stuff to lose weight, heres what I eat during the day.
Oatmeal w/ bread and half shot of flaxseed
Lunch, half shot of flax w. water.
Home f. school, around 2:30-3:00. A meal, fish, or chciken.
(5) o clock smoothieā¦w/ banana why(1 shot) and PB and milkā¦8 oz half of flaxseed too.
Dinner, after gym, same as aboveā¦with an appel
iāve been doing 20 min of cardio everyday
Does taking stuff to raise your metabolism have any draw-backs?
Cuz I havenāt been active in my early yearsā¦
wanna lose weight, gotta eat more often - portioned meals of course.
youāre hitting those carbs right in the morning, isnāt exactly going to do you good. and canāt be downing that bread every day either.
consume ācold waterā all the time, other than during/after workout.
raise your protein intake, that shit help burn the fat to in the long run. and donāt over do it on the sugar. once you spike, it stops the fat burning process.
The Mullah its abit unfair of you to question magnus like that, the guy has answered everybodys questions in detail and put effort in, where as you and nobody else have.
dont give up on the thread magnus because of one person Im sure those you helped Appreciate It very much.
My best raw lift is 395, but thats just touching the chest, and exploding up for 1 rep. In a Bench meet its much harder because you have to actually hold the barbell on the bottom for like 1 full second before the ref will tell you to lift!
Thats the main reason you wear the suit is to protect your shoulder from blowing out at that extreame weight, but then the downside is if your suit ripsā¦YOUR FUCKED:sad:
I finally saw the video of it yesterday, damnā¦made me cringe when I saw my suit rip and my arm go back like that!!
still, at least its a mans injury, unlike when i put my back out cleaning my trainers! lol
magnus, iām not questioning your advice, i just know thereās loads of people who talk loads and have shit bodies. you dont have to leave the thread because of my curiosity, iām not asserting youāre full of it, i just want to see what your physique is like and whether it inspires me with confidence to take your advice. youāre reaction of leaving the thread is way OTT. get a grip man.
It was a old single ply nylon āINZERā.
My next one will be a custom made denim from inzerā¦much stronger!
See what happens when your a cheap ass like me and buy a weaker suitā¦LOL:rofl:
I need help really bad, please if you can help me out. I want the whole package.

I dont have any equipment to train, and I am trying to save some money to get a membership at the YMCA. I really want to running ecerciseās but school takes up all day and I live in a white neighborhood where running around the block spells trouble. I also donāt eat very well. M-F I dont eat breakfast since I have no time with my job and morning class starting at 9:00 am. I eat cheeseburgers and drink orange juice at the school. I comeback home to eat whatever is available. usually it is speghetti, rice, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, cereal, or ham and cheese sandwiches.
I really want to build my body so I can play for the school in football as cornerback, basketball as point gaurd, baseball, soccer, swimming, rowwing and tennis. I know its alot to ask for,but any help you can provide wil be helpful.
Ha have you tried out metal gear, some of the pl in my area use this brand they are real nice shirts. Isnt Westside Barbell in your area, if so have you ever trained there.
Whether I want to trim down or get bulky I cant really say. I dont want to get as bulky as a pur muscle man, but I also dont want to trim down so much as to lose wieght.
I want to be in the middle if this makes any sense. In terms of the way I look right now I think bulking up is the best option. I can make the time, but i am aksing what I should do in terms of training and nutrition.
