I think Mudkips meant to post this here but ... I dunno.

The fact that you talk a lot of shit that you can not back makes me believe that you do a lot of reading and not a lot of lifting. How Can you give advice to people without truly understanding what you are saying? The answer is you can't ..... You can not tell someone something without knowing if it works or not. You have no experience lifting. You hardly know anything. Everything you do know you read in a book or stole from someone else. You have no factual eveidence that it works. You just take advice from credible sources and post them as your own....As an aspiring personal trainer, who has actually spent time working in a gym, watching and criticizing and experimenting. Stop posting. You don't know what youre talking about. You know it too.

who was that directed at?
had a pretty killer leg workout today even tho ive felt shitty all day long today due to switchin over from nights to days at work...fuckin hate shift changes

No worries at first I was thinking WTF MUD... then I searched and found it was just MUD copying and pasting stuff from a work out forum to Chad in a music thread... Chad just being Chad... MUD is not talking bad about anyone here

Carrot Top: My Buff Days Are OVER!!!

http://www.tmz.com/2012/02/22/carrot-top...eing-buff/

I've really been trying to push myself lately when working out. About 75% of the way through the workout tonight I felt like I had to puke, but I finished. So yeah. Mission accomplished I guess.

Arnold says he knew it was a good workout when he puked at the end?

^

YEAH, "FATTASTIC"

until you puke/faint, you've accomplished nothing. you fucking gaywad FUCK.

Doing a personal training session today, don't really feel like i need it or anything but since my girl and a friend signed up I got gym dollars. I know the trainer so he's just gonna show me some other workouts, kettle bell type stuff I think. Should be interesting/fun.

Feeling really good after that work out. Did chest and tris and thought it was all basic compound movements I really felt it. We just did circuit shit shit with drop sets. Minimal rest and a 40 minute workout I'll deff. be feeling it tomorrow.

TLDR = Bitching and Moaning... not worth reading just holding myself accountable


I never understood why I gave up lifting in the past even if it was for a month or two here and there... that being said I'm starting to feel that way again.. but this time I can actually see what is making me pull away.... I tend to go all out... as in not only do I lift very hard when I lift but I read blogs and reddit and watch youtube videos and blah blah blah...at some point recently I just feel like screaming ENOUGH...

what is really crazy is I know this is all self imposed so I have no one to blame but myself... I doubt I am going to quit but I just feel off the past few days... I fully intend on lifting today but the "spark" is missing... like I am loaded with fuel but just can't seem to turn the engine on... and I hate that sort of lifting just going through the motions... yes it's better then not at all but fuck that

I hate to bring negativity here but I just needed to get this off my chest... I feel like every time I spend 2 hours talking to some weak turd about setting up a program and really giving my all in hopes they will actually do it only to find out a few days later they only 1/2 assed it once or twice then gave up kills me inside... I honestly feel like I lose a part of myself.... I know I know crazy crazy crazy... I just get so sick of seeing potential in people talking things over then finding out the person was pretty much just talking to talk... why waste your time? more importantly why should I waste MY TIME?

At least I see the problem this time around and I am going to fight through it so fear not House Of Pain I will try my hardest to endure... I just thought I would leave you guys with this little slice of advice... never give your all to someone who is only talking... if someone that has been at it for a few months wants advice sure give that guy your all he actually deserves it... but these fucks that love to ask 100 questions and then never put in any real work after finding out that is exactly what is needed to get stronger WORK... just aren't worth it... don't waste your time it will end up just eating away at you... maybe not the first guy maybe not the second guy... but the more you try to "help" or "guide" and the more you find out all your words and links shared and time wasted trying to pick them up was all completely wasted it just takes a part of you away... after a while your left with to little to work with...

on that note I really hope everyone here kicks some serious ass in the gym... I am proud of each and everyone of you.. I am sorry to be a negative nilly but I knew if I didn't say anything I would just start slipping away... hopefully this is enough to turn things around

So my entire body feels useless (in a good way). I've been pushing myself to the limit and then trying to push it past that limit for the last 4 months, and now it feels like all that hard work just hit me at once. I think it's because I've incorporated running the last few weeks. It's exhausting, but I want to keep at it and try to repair my shitty lungs.

Also, WCH, it seems like you need to switch it up and try something new. Cardio maybe? Nahh, I shouldn't preach about that. Like you said, it would be wasted breath (or in this case, typing). Seems like you're pretty set in your 'heavy lifting' ways, and aren't willing to sacrifice your huge numbers in order to take that step that you've been wanting to take. Kind of frustrating, though. You admit that you're overweight and unhappy about it, yet you do nothing to remedy the situation. It's like you're writing an auto bio when you rant about the people who want to see results but aren't willing to put in the work. I guess what we hate in others the most truely does reflect our own weaknesses.

Breath 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10... crisis averted...

Gonna do a late night sesh on legs here on a bit.

I'd like to know what this said before the edit, but it's all good. You have the right to be upset at my comment, it was an asshole thing to say. I don't know you personally or all of what you've gone through, so I retract my foolish statements. Wish you the best of luck man, you've been a huge motivator for me so I just hate to see any 'giving up' talk, and I guess it kind of set me off. I was outta line though, and I apologise. Hope you find that 'spark' you're looking for.

Seated Barbell Twist
150 reps, per side

Leg Extensions
2 warm up sets of 8-10 reps
1 drop set of 100 total reps

Leg Press
2 warm up sets of 8-20 reps
3 rest-pause sets to failure in 30 reps

Standing Leg Curl
1 warm up set of 8-10 reps
3 sets to failure in 20 reps

Hack Squat
2 warm up sets of 8-10 reps
3 rest-pause sets to failure in 30 reps

Don't quit, maybe you're over-training and need a week off. Every professional body builder takes a few weeks off a year, by design.

Also if you still drink, cut that shit out. Nothing kills gains/motivation easier than alcohol. I haven't had a drink in 2 years because I realize a few hours of being drunk isn't worth a week of shit progress. If you feel the need to be under the influence of something vaporize some weed.

Blazin - I spelled Crisis wrong the first time lol... I am not mad at you man... you called it how you see it and I understand... in many ways your right

CKY - I also think your on to something... although I have only drank maybe 2 times in the past month both times really effected my lifting and I either missed days or 1/2 assed others...


I came here to vent mainly because I was feeling like shit... I don't really talk negative on Facebook and hardly ever speak about my "problems" to real life friends... so I came here and kinda spilled out my feelings of trying to help others... like I wrote at the top of it I kinda did it to hold myself accountable so I didn't quit... the times I get quiet and just kinda fade away are the times I have to worry about..

was in negative and shitty sure but it was how I was feeling... super let down by some friends and kinda felt used in a way.. I needed to vent and believe it or not it actually made me feel better... by holding myself accountable (admitting) I felt like quitting and seeing it written in a public place kinda woke me back up... sometimes I need that boost... that is exactly why I tell people to write goals down and share them with people... you wanna bench press 250 write it down some where bonus points if you make it public and I promise it will motivate you 100X more then holding those goals in your mind...

I am sorry I used this place as venting place.... but if I will say this in my defense... I would rather read some of you guys are having bad days once in a while then "everything is awesome bigger and stronger hitting new levels" then find out 2 days later you quit... and just kinda fade away... speak up if your having a tough time be it physically or like in my case mentally...

I am not one to make excuses but I have been going through a lot of family issues lately and although I usually turn pain into amazing work outs lately it has been kinda like carrying a 50lb sack on my shoulders... I have lifted but it has been more of a chore then enjoyment then anything... but I am all fired up I wrote my feelings out... purged my system and I am ready to kick some fucking ass tomorrow...

in short thanks to everyone at KBC I am happy I am called on my shit when I am acting like a bitch... never feel sorry Blazin... Cky great advice as always... tomorrow I am going to squat squat squat this negativity away... THANK YOU

I've only drank once this year and that was during the super bowl. The day after, goodnight sweet gains.

I went out to dinner and had 2 beers. It just makes you feel bloated and sluggish. Word to CKY, though I smoke weed I'd like to get a nice vape.

woke up today feeling great... went to walmart and got a water bottle and some once daily mens vitamins... going to start the path of cardio today.. no more excuses no more bullshit today I start the journey of getting into better shape... still going to lift hard but now I am adding treadmill work as well... thanks for putting up with my bullshit lately KBC HOP

WCH, go for it, man. I just lost one of my best friends in the whole world to a heartattack. He was only in his early 30s. Got me thinking, and got my ass on a treadmill. Finally, worked up to a mile tonight, but it took 16 minutes... pathetic. But, just like heaving heavy weights, you gotta start somewhere. Plus, being big and fast will make you a double threat.

ya man I have finally took the first step... kinda stupid though lol I raised my squats up to 305 today lol... got on the treadmill and my legs were already beat but I was still able to walk at a fast pace (for me) for 20mins arms swinging and heartrate up... so I still think it was a good day... not sure how far I went because the digital read outs on it are broken but wow are my legs beat... tomorrow morning going to hit it again... I plan on speed walking daily until I am able to start jogging then jogging indoors until I am able to for a decent amount of time then hopefully by then the weather will be nice and I can take it outdoors... I also plan on getting air in my mountain bike tires to add that into the mix too...

today I feel great..

I need to get back on the p90x kick, I felt great doing it, but man just keep making excuses right now as to why I shouldn't work out. I prefer just being out and doing stuff like cleaning my whole house yesterday and tilling up my dad's garden on saturday.

Don't you wanna be healthy enough to run around with your kids when they grow up? I just read you may be having a 3rd it would suck to be all burnt by the time you're 40 and not able to play ball with your kids.

CKY which vaporizer would you suggest? Something 100-200 price range would be ideal.

extreme vaporizer is really good, i own one and decent price look on ebay

I've never used a weed vaporizer before, does it taste like weed? I fucking hate the taste of it.
