I used to work out at the gym a few years back, seeing as my DNA dictates I'll always be a skinny fooker. 8 months of 3 sessions on the weights a week meant I barely gained 1/2 a stone. Sure I toned up nicely but it wasnt worth the effort or outlay IMO so I stopped. I prefer cycling & sunday strolls to keep my fitness at a reasonable base level.
Make sure you have fun or its not worth it & don't bother getting into creatine & other weight gain shizzle. No one likes a meat head, though meat heads love themselves.
I won't go to the gym , they are a rip-off, but I try my best at home.
I dont need to gain weight lol need to tone up lol The supplements do work if you actually train with them,Ive took amino acids and those protein shakes before and they do work,just when you stop going you baloon lol
Lauren how is it a rip off?
At home its all to easy to get distracted and do summat else or have a can or a bag of crisps etc
i walk to work and back every day which is about 1and half miles each way...
thats about it for me..

Personaly hate the gym! Its all so simulated and i dont see the point in payin £20+ per month to do something you could do down your local park for instance.
Ive just literaly got back from a 10mile cross country ride and my legs are funked lol so ill chill for a bit then do some weights and sit ups, then to the pub to start the whole cycle again lol
Another thing is those protine/weigh gain shakes are a bit dodgy, i do drink them but with water as it gets into your body quicker but if for instance you go on holiday and you have been taking them for the weeks leading up to your holiday, then go and drink loads of beer and eat random fatty foods you WILL put on a hell of a lot of weight.
Trainin at home is for quitters...
its been proven that you work 2(somthing)% more if been watched/working with others.
and it realy is true, when kickboxing i fidn it alot easier when youre team mates are stiring you on, and gettin on your case wen your slacking, they help you do a few extra reps/laps etc
Andy are wanting to do just weights to get BIG or what?
also theres a few things that maybe you should/could purchase if your realy going to get into it..
Protein shake and shaker( take it no longer then 30mins after training as your body will go catabolic and youre body wil be searchin for "food" and attact your muscles for it,making the work out point less.
MP3 player/iPod
Its also been proven that music has a good afect on how you workout..
And get ya diet sorted, dont expect big results fast, its not goign to happen, your body actully swells up before you start loosing weight.
and last but not least DONT starve yourself :)
good luck.. pm me if u need any help mate

i used to go to a gym. but i much prefer doing weights at home. the only downside is i dont get any "cardio vascular" ?? exercise like running and s**t.
but i havent done some proper weights in a while as i realised:
i am practicing lifting heavy things for what reason?
i sit on my computer all day which requires no physical strength at all.
plus at my gym there was about 10 huge men (most black {not racist just pointing out they were**) and they just stood in front of the mirrors and tensed the guns and talked about how buff they were

"cardio vascular" ??
Some people refer to Cardiovascular exercise as aerobic exercise, some people even call it 'cardio' for short. All it amounts to is exercises that involve the large muscles like legs and help make your heart and lungs stronger. Cardiovascular exercise has lots of health benefits like lowering your blood pressure, and also it can burn lots of calories - for those of you who want to lose weight.
^ bang on.. 20mins on the cros trainer a day, and 10mins joggin works wonders
The job i do dictates a "no need for gym membership" answer :D
large_steve182
19-08-08, 06:19 PM
yes, but then you also have to focus on local muscular enduance. so that specific muscles can perform actions as well as they started.
i got a B in higher p.e but cant remember anything from it.

Yer fair enought the only reason id go to a gym is to use the cross trainer. Lukily i live in Eastbourne so i have the downs (hills) and the seafront, jog along the beach at low tide every othernight (top of women looveee it lol) and ride alot and eat healthy, pasta rocks!
And martins right if you train with someone of a similare level its very benificail.

I both agree and disagree with this. If you are the sort of person who doesnt allow yourself to become distracted and can do a sensible workout in your own home using whatever you have available to help you - stairs, bags of bean tins etc etc, then yes, there is no real need to use the gym.
But, if like most people you cant do that and find yourself on the sofa instead, 25 quid for gym membership is a bargain if it gets you off your **** and off to get some exercise.
I used to work a 2 minute walk from the gym. And the gym was a 30 minute walk from my house, so in the morning at 7am i would walk to the gym, treating that as a steady warm up, and then exercise for an hour before showering and going to work for 9am. Did this 5 days a week. Went after work 2 days a week also, and once over the weekend. Never felt better about myself than i did then. And confidence in yourself is worth all the money in the world as it has a positive influence on everything you do.

Thats exactly right mate,you do have more self confidence in yourself and you realise how "clouded" you were by bad toxins and stress etc.Well thats how i feel anyway if that makes sense?
wisewood
19-08-08, 07:16 PM
Yupp. Perfect sense.
I used to have little competitions with myself to see how far i could row in five minutes, how far i could run in 20 minutes, how many calories the computer on the cross trainer would say i burned in 30 minutes ... etc etc.
If you make it interesting and keep pushing yourself you dont get bored with it all being the same old scenery all the time.

You are overweight for your height
Your BMI is 27.5
If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9 you're over the ideal weight for your height. Make sure you eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and don't eat more calories than you need to.
If you're trying to lose weight, get more exercise and avoid snacking and 'crash' diets. If you carry your weight around your stomach, you're 'apple-shaped', rather than 'pear-shaped'. This means you're at more risk of health problems, so you really need to get your weight down.
:(Yeah i know:cry: It is crap though,so if a Rugby player is 16 stone at my height but can run 100metres in 11 seconds,is he overweight?? i doubt it
wisewood
19-08-08, 07:29 PM
No because a proper BMI calculation will take into account your build also, which is calculated based on your wrist measurement for greatest accuracy, but its a good guide for "normal" people.
I need to lose about a stone and a half to get my BMI to where it should be. Which is crazy.
Yeah i see what you mean about "normal build" It said before i had to lose like 2 stone to get in the average normal area?! id look ill if i lost 2 stone!!

You are the ideal weight for your height
Your BMI is 24.5
If your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 you're an ideal weight for your height. To maintain this, make sure you eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and keep active with regular exercise. This will lower your chances of developing heart disease, diabetes and other health problems.
Even if your weight is ideal, you need to keep an eye on your waist size. People who are 'apple-shaped' rather than 'pear-shaped' are more at risk from health problems.
Im happy lol
My jobs always kept me in shape, but recently ive found my health is suffering from lack of cardio exercise, added to my smoking habit. Plan to have all that changed by the end of the summer though.

I used to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week but don't find time now as I'm out the door for work by 7 and don't get home til around half 6. :mad:. As it is I get 0 exercise and tbh I miss it tons. I do occasionally play squash but nowhere near as much as I'd like. Plus its extortionate how they charge you 28 per month for your gym membership AND still charge you for the squash courts at 5.50 a throw (Peak time only). Off peak is 2 hours on a saturday morning and 2 hours on a sunday pmsl oh and afternoons when most people are out earning a crust to pay the bloody fees
I used to up until about 6 months ago, I'm not that dedicated though, just fit in the odd session around work etc

20-08-08, 10:41 AM
We get the courts for £3 a session and on certain nights we can get them free. Ah the joys of working at a univeristy.
Same with badminton, if you know when to go you can get them free all night. Normally have to book just on session so we actually have a reason to be there.

I always used to run until my legs went like jelly and then pull the emergency stop and rest on the front of the treadmill until i could stand up properly again.
Or, on lazy days i would put it on a maximum incline and walk at a decent speed, which usually felt like a better workout.
Wisewood thats fukcing dangerous mate! lol lol
I dont like the incline,it makes my calfs feel like they're on fire lol

lol Cheeky
Lol at the low weight poser comments - we have quite a few of the opposite at my local gym - people who go at everything mental - with silly weights - but only do half a rep and have done 20 reps in about 5 seconds while looking like theyre actually having a fit....
an old friend of mine was a keen amateur road cycle racer, he went to a gym & really upset the big blokes by outdoing them on everything. he looked really skinny, but he was stronger than anyone I've ever met.
I went out with a body builder who was a right wuss - he used to struggle beating me when we were having playfights lol
But a friend of mine is about 5'5 and is tiny - yet he is probably the strongest person I know.
You should be careful of the little ones lol

i used to play basketball at quite a hight level , but packed it on about 7 years ago , during which time i would use the gym a bit and have a very good build and fitness level
since then ive put 3 stone on and become a fat **** lol , well its just my belly area , and i cant blame it on beer as a dont drink and dont smoke lol
just started playin baskeball for a division 2 team 2 month back , and although im better then any of the players my fitness lets me down after 20 min of play lol
im goin to sort myself out though and have been doin small workouts at home , ill start running again after my hols in a couple of week
I'm about 12st 2lb at the minute, and I'm about average height, not sure exactly how tall.
I can lose 3 pound per week, which is pretty good if I say so myself. But my problem is that I give up after a month or two, despite a good rate of weight loss. I went from 12st 9lb to 12st 0lbs inside 3 weeks, then gave up. (I just cut out snacks, eat whatever the rest of my family eat for dinner, and went to the gym about 3 times per week).
I might start going to the gym again because I'm quite conscious of how I look, I'd like to be about 10 and a half stone!

Well I'm just over 12 now and I'm well built :tard: .
Anyway, fck that, I'm just after pigging out, and I bought some new clothes today so I don't want them to get too big for me lol
you dont have to look that big to be heavy, muscle weighs a lot more than fat at the minute im a touch under 16 stone and im 5 foot 11 but ive lost just over a stone in the last 19 months cos i cant train properly cos of a knee injury, but i dont look that heavy tbh

I went rowing for the first time last night, I thought I was relatively fit but fook me its hard work! The worse thing was I'd totally forgotten I get sea sick so I had to (successfully) battle to get my dinner down lol Hopefully the sea won't be quite as choppy on Tuesday!
I enjoy doing a few free weights at home most nights but I'm not setting out to be a beefcake or anything, just for a bit more shape. I'm also getting a new bike through work's Cycle 2 Work Scheme so I'll be doing that a bit more too.

I'm 11stone and gaining slowly (about time!). Protein shakes will help with gaining muscle mass as long as you train (hard). I'm off to the gym now to lift more than men twice my weight, single figures bodyfat FTW lol
I used to be quite overwieght then started the gym about 3 years ago, mainly concentrated on cardio, then started weight training and the results really came on fast, now i just do weight lifting in circuits to keep me toned and fit. I go 3 times a week to a proper old skool gym lol, the equipment is older than me but it has everything needed and its cheap, no queues either ;)
hmm just read through this and im surprised how many of you do weights and keeping fit. then all you lazy ****'s that cant be assed lol. come on get yourself in gear and get back to it. its not all about keeping fit or trying to look good ect. every time i come out of the gym or from a good run ect i feel so heathy and full of energy and makes you feel really good.
I go gym 5 - 6 days a week with a 15 mile run every two days and once a week a good off road session on my bike. tbh i do want to start swimming again but feel aloner going by myself lol
and how many of you are in your cutting in stage in weights, i cant decide on how big i want to get before i start this:confused:.

what i find is best is to gain my fat to help with mass building over the winter, and begin to cut up about april ready for summer :thumb:
tbh its not really the fat as i cant put any on if i wanted to. its the size of the musle itself. for instance the lats, if they get to big you look stupid with your arms out wide.

Only takes me 6 weeks to cut weight. My wife normally does it in 8 before she competes. But she is still cutting weight up untill the finals. And then has a 2 month bulking period. Most of you sound alittle light ie cutting from 11 stone. At full cut at 6-8% body fat i weight 10 1/2 stone, and thats ripped.
yea 11 stone is way to light to be cutting in. im 12 1/2 stone and i think im still way to light
This may sound daft but what do you mean when you say cutting in bigs?
stripping the body fat, to reveal the contours of the muscle
this is something i wished i had done when younger if i am honest, in my mid 20's i was a decent size and had minimal fat for my build, but now slowly creeping to my mid 30's i just cant be bothered. My work had always kept me trim and although i probably need to make an effort now, there comes a point when the be a***d factor is just to big. Especially around here when after a long days work and making time for the family the whole, travel for 30min to get to a gym work out and travel back is just to off putting.

I was actualy always set on doing strongman events when i was younger. Started weight training at 17, by the time i was 19 i went from 12st - 15st using a bulking diet and power lifting. somewere between 19-20 i hit around 16st and a few weeks later i crushed a vertibre in my back. I went form 16st of muscle to 19 st of fat within probably a year and a half :-( moved back home with my rents and went form 19st back down to 15st (basicaly lost all the fat i had put on) but my back was still fooked, and after an operation and many many steroid injections into my spine its kinda on the mend now, so for the last 3 months ive been working out again, using zma anabolic mineral formula and claranol for lowering Fat% mass. Seems to be going well, using the kind of stack of suppliments im using a healthy diet and 30-45 mins of cardio and weight training every day, if you was fat you could lose 1/2st+ a week (which is how i lsot all my weight) but fook me is it hard work, my dreams of strongman are long gone coz my back wont hack it, so now im trying to get myself in slightly better shape for my wedding next year. although i have a degree in science/sports so anyone looking for infomation on working out/power lifting/ or general fitness can give me a pm, there aint much i dont know :) oh yer and STEROIDS ARE FOR FAGS!!!

Depends on your work rate. I've been training in various martial arts for 24 years and fought some big blokes, yes some of them gas very easy due to there muscle mass but you need to have the muscle thickness to stop injury. I had a sparing session this year at seni08 with Wanderlei Silva and he is huge, tore me apart. Look at Sean Sherk (not his last fight), absolute machine at 155lb (70kg to you and me) and will easily go 5 rounds. The bloke is a tank. Also look at Brock Lesnars (not a small guy) last fight with Heath Herring, shattered his eye socket. He's not exactly slow.

I don't believe it, I was told 'when you hit 18, you'll pile on the pounds' 18 came and went, no change....'when you hit 21....' nope, no change....'when you hit 25, blah blah blah'. I'm a stickman and always will be!

what a load of rubbish, how has size got anything to do with speed, im training at the min, hoping to get into strongman comps in a few years my mate just got to the semis in his first year at britains strongest, i warm up on the bag before i train and sometimes have a mess round with my mates sparring and im getting quicker the bigger i get im right now 16 st 2 and 30 inch waist and the fastest ive ever been.
Just out of intrest DAN-F, what do you flat bench or is you strength training completely different to that of mere mortals. I just want to see how silly i would look training with someone competitng in strong man. At the moment I bench 125kg (8-10 reps) and squat 200kg (dodgy knee). I really love watching the strong man, its amazing to see what the human body can do. Hopefully see you on TV soon competing against Pudzianowski and Hollands then.

03-09-08, 10:32 AM
:eek: WTF 125kg!
I can manage 60kg for 5 sets of 10 reps lol lol
Due the lack of a decent spotter I daren't up the weight for a few really heavy reps.
I was stuck on 90kg for about 4 months because i did'nt have a spotter.
im recovering from knee surgery at the min so ive been out of training for a few months, ive been back training for about two months now and its coming back really quickly tbh im on about 145-150kg at the min about 10 rep but i push 12-13 if i can, i dont use flat bench at the min only a slight incline but not quite flat, im looking at 2 years before i plan on any comps at the min
one of the boys from up here was on tv this week doing britains strongest man jamie redwood hes huge got to the semis and ccame fourth in his first year not bad going considering he had oli thompson in the semis hes awesome makes it all look so easy

I usually go to the Gym for about 20 hours a week! But I'v got my arm in pot so I'm just sat about lazy for another 3 weeks. Off work, but being paid never the less!
i went kickboxing for the 1st time in a week(due to a chest infection) we have a new trainer black belt in kickboxing,judo,kungfu... and funk me he beasts use.. 1lap joggin round the gym then ten press ups till we have done about 350-400 press ups i nearly died lol then step ups on the ring.. 150 of them. then he say "right now youre warm we'l do some sparing".. "Warm? **** me i'm dyin" lol
ache like funk today lol feels good tho at least you kno uve trained hard when you ache the next day lol.
Going to do my incline & decline dumbbell presses, flys, incline & decline bench on the smiths machine, only do light benches(again no spotter) can do 35kg dumbbell presses fro 10reps tho flys about 40 i think..
Only realy do light chest and arm training, going to start going with some of the bouncers in town will get a spotter then and there gonna show mehow to train legs coz i've never really done it full on..
im recovering from knee surgery at the min so ive been out of training for a few months, ive been back training for about two months now and its coming back really quickly tbh im on about 145-150kg at the min about 10 rep but i push 12-13 if i can, i dont use flat bench at the min only a slight incline but not quite flat, im looking at 2 years before i plan on any comps at the min

I really hope you make it. I know what its like to push yourself to a goal. I also know what its like to support someone with that sort of goal. I hope you have as much support as posible. And get that knee better. Good luck.
i use to do about 16hrs a week until i broke my collar bone about 5 months ago :(and ive only just started training again.
How did you break your collar bone? At a guess, i'd say bike accident.
nop when i was five i fell of a sofa with laughter watchingtoy story :cool: that was my right collar bone broken.
this time is the left shoulder lol was playing football (im a keeper) done a scorpian kick and scored but handed on my head then shoulder and broke it got a HUGE lump where the bone sits on top of the old bone lol im hardcore lol
Christ. That must have hurt. Well i hope your a fast healer, take it easy. No decline bench press for you then.
Lmfao have'nt heard "scorpion kick" since 1996 lol lol

lol ouch..
i get like an electric shock in my right arm when benching, i broke it about 8-9year ago.
in the pic
Red is were it broke
Blue is were it healed, all of that is now one bone instead of two lol
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/Martain_novalicious/mybreak.jpg
And i swear down theres sumin stuck in there coz evertime i lift suming realy heavy i get like a shootin pain/leccy shock just in my forearm, docs day theres nothin wrong and theres no reason for me to have this pain
They've Probs left one of the pins in there cos it got stuck in the middle of the bone reconstruction lol..
and now if i straighten both my arms out forward together my right arm bows out about an inch lol
well im planning on 2010 at the min but see how it goes. theres four guys at my gym that i know 3 do stronman comps and one is ex mr GB theyre all triple my size and double my strength at least so im gonna train with them, i find it easier to progress when im training with someone stronger, if im the one lacking behind i push myself that much harder to catch up
Exactly right that dan,its that extra 1 or 2reps that make the difference
Its always good to train with someone stronger. On my leg days I train with a couple of mates who are a lot stronger. I feel sick after training, its like you need to keep up and not let the side down so i tend to keep the plates on and hit what they do. Makes me feel ill just talking about it.
^ Lol afte rmy 1st time wieght lifting we trained that hard i couldnt drive home, my arms didnt wanna work my mate had to change gears lol
Im just getting through the pain barrier now,ive been back 3weeks.Feels good to be back there
^ Lol afte rmy 1st time wieght lifting we trained that hard i couldnt drive home, my arms didnt wanna work my mate had to change gears lol
Lol - Don't you just love that feeling. Oh happy days, all for a few muscles.lol
Waking up the next day like.. Oooo thats saw.. i'l just have an extra 5mins in bed lol
As Ronnie Coleman would say 'LIGHT WEIGHT BABY'. Feel the pump.

Branch Warren is my idiol as hes a shorty like me lol
haha 'aint nothing but a peanut' lol myh legs were my strongest bodypart might be something to do with all the mountain biking i do and hanging onto a moto x bike but since i ripped my kneecap off ive lost 14 inches off one of my thighs and 17 of the other
WHAT! Ripped off knee cap, ouch!. It took me a year to build my right leg as strong as my left after my knee rebuild.
Biceps my strongest part. Love the guns.
Branch Warren, isnt he the one with unbelievable leg definition. I can't remember did he win the Arnold classic?
yea slipped through a fence 18 months ago and the uprights caught my knee cap and took it off, pushed it 8 inches up my leg into my quads, took the hospital 6 weeks to get me in for my first op by then it was grown into my quads and had to be cut out, had my patella tendon and cruciate ligament stiched back and my knee cap and shin bone drilled and wired together, 3 ops later and im almost walking properly again, still it shouoldnt take long to build them back up
not as bad as it sounds really it didnt even hurt when i done it, i didnt even know id done anything wrong until i tried standing up and my leg wouldnt hold me an i hit the deck again lol the worst bit was my left leg actually being physically paralised for 8 months due to noine of the muscles being connected anymore if i layed down i could not move my leg at all not even a millimeter that was the worst cos i was so active before i done it
Sounds like one hell of a painfull set back. Like me, worst part was sitting doing nothing for x months. Itching to start training again.
Well like I said, good luck with the training. When I see you on the TV i want to say to my wife 'I know that bloke'.
haha well hopefully ill get there, i dont give up easily anyway so should make it to at least a few comps wehter im any good remains to be seen haha
if your into bodybuilding do a search on google for james 'flex' lewis hes from llanelli and i reckon hes gonna do well, seen him at a few comps in person and the boy simply walks them, them definition and symmetry is unbelievable, id kill to have legs like him
I get Flex mag every month and he's in there pretty much every month. He's ment to be the new boy to take everything. Mind you, his work ethic is incredible.
i dont get flex. i saw him about 3 years ago a few times at different comps not seen him since think hes gone to the states now
