Lithium Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I think I've posted this here before, but it was in the first couple of hundred pages of the thread that got archived. A powerlifter, storngman, weightlifter and bodybuilder - who can squat their own bodyweight the most times in 5 minutes? I want to try doing it myself sometime. I weigh about 180 now, and I'm pretty sure I can get in at least 30-40 reps at that weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls Rocket Queen Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Lith, you're probably going to think I'm retarded for this, but what exactly is the difference between those? Like I get bodybuilders are more about a certain aesthetic and I guess strongman just goes for lifting the heaviest weight possible, but what about the others?

Lithium Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Bodybuilders - they want to achieve the highest level of muscular hypertrophy at the lowest possible level of body-fatPowerlifters - they compete in the deadlift, bench press and squatStrongmen - the ones you see on TV lifting huge logs over their heads and dragging Boeing 747s across the runwayWeightlifters - the ones you see on the Olympics every four years who compete in the clean & jerk and the snatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I think it's about time to start getting shit done again. For months now, I've been half-assing it due to other priorities, but I'm feeling my motivation returning. I'm sure this is the year that I hit my long-time goals of a 500lbs deadlift and a 400lbs squat.I've been slacking on a shitty schedule for awhile now too, but I started my comeback tour last week. Feels good to get back into things but I can tell I'm a little rusty with some things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I hate that feeling when weights that used to be light have suddenly become heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNSNROSES513 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I hate that feeling when weights that used to be light have suddenly become heavy.thats me now, but somehow I managed to cut out deadlift's for 2 months and a few other things, but still gained about 4 or 5lbs and I look a little leaner. Still have a little belly. But i'm 174lbs.. I'm gonna bulk until May 1st.. Cut for a couple months and then bulk again.. If I can hit 185 by May first, i'll be happy. I'm deadlifting again, but only adding about 5lbs every 2 weeks, so I don't stress my tendons.I really f'ed myself up in a few ways. My doctor thinks between working out and the my job, i messed myself up. I started doing these things called finger tip push ups, and i screwed up my wrists.. For some reason I hurt my ankles too. Its getting better but I've really been more careful about working out. I've learned how valuable your body is these past few months and don't take it for granted.

Chris1989 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 After pretty much 3 weeks of on-off colds, nosebleeds, migraines etc, I am finally feeling like I have a bit of energy. Knee caused me some grief on my weekend run, but I felt so heavy and unfit - symptom of the half a stone i've gained this year.Change of job meant a change of eating habits - way more snacking and eating crap now, but I have changed that around and it's all healthy from here. I have 5 weeks and I intend on losing between 5 and 10 lbs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNSNROSES513 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Honestly, this time, both the doctor and I think its overuse, or I have some disease... Its getting better, and since I'm very active,we are leaning towards over use, but since its multiple joints, its kinda scary.But it is a lot better, i'm about 80%, right now. Around the time I got hurt, I was working a lot more than normal and under a lot of stress from work and because my Mother is has an illness and hasn't been able to walk since September.. She is just now getting better and my sister was having problems with her pregnancy, and my very best friend was sick for a while AND its been nothing but an uphill battle trying to get into the Coast Guard.. Life kinda sucked for a few months. So I wonder if all that stress had something to do with it, because I was really stressed for a few months. Enough of my life story, i'm gonna go deadlift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Great thread. A year ago, I tore my rotator cuff from too much weightlifting. I'd been weight training for maybe 15 years at that point, as my primary workout method. So, I tried a bunch of alternate exercises and landed in yoga class one day. Life changed. Now, I do yoga several times a week, at a pretty traditional but tough class. No gimmicks, nothing extra, just hardcore repetitive and demanding movements. I've never been fitter in my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've been slacking on the yoga, my ego had a tough time dealing with being immense pain from basic movements while other people were sticking their legs behind their heads and balancing on their fingertips :/ Will get back into it though as I'm feeling the need for it as I lift more, sometimes I'll do a basic snake pose between squats.

Chris1989 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just had a 30 minute workout on the bike doing hill climbing, shattered now.I'm only hitting 90% of my figures from last year, but despitey weight gain I'm still lighter than a year ago.
