Posted by Masonious on Apr-22-2005 05:17:

i'm, of course, still in this.

When I get back from Ireland i'm going to be getting back into my old routine at the gym where i work (convenient I know )

However I won't be back till June and i'll probably need a good solid month to get back in to shape and lose all these alcohol calories i've been accumulating over here.

If you want to keep going throughout the summer, let me know. I'm working on trying to get back in shape by mid-july or so.

Posted by Orbax on Apr-22-2005 14:01:

yeah there definitely gonna be a challenge to see what happens by the end of summer.

I was within 2 lbs of my target before flu knocked me down 10 lbs. In 1 week i will start the process of leaning back down to 160 lbs for my uber ripped stage. In 1 week I will be as large as Im gonna be for this competition, so this is pretty much the final "large" update. Im pleased with my results

ill take some real pics in a week for final thing I guess. These kind of blow.

Posted by PhloTron on Apr-25-2005 04:46:

Down 21 lbs to 217... (I'm 6'4")

bp is down on a day to day basis..but it skyrocketed the day i had my flight medical...grrrr...

so i keep working on it ... over the summer if I keep it up I should be a college wt...lol ... but i'm in better shape than i have in a long time. Hockey 3 days a week and hike/bike 3 other days/times.

Posted by Orbax on Apr-25-2005 04:47:

21 lbs?! thats awesome man! damn. and those sports you chose are no shit either lol. I have such terrible cardio right now could play for like 15 minutes then die.

lol if you think cardio is bad.. try yoga.. its exactly the opposite of weight lifting.. since your going for muscle endurance.. i thought an intro class was a level 2 class lol

but its great for your slow twitch fibres.. really strengthens them (slow twitch comprises around 50 % of your muscle tissue) whic is bassically used for muscle endurance

Posted by Orbax on Apr-25-2005 05:09:

yeah man...those are some dang nice gains. One thing I would try ...because I wasnt gaining mass on squats either, would be to go past parallel to floor on them. Drop weight to 125 to warm up on, do sets of 12-15 still at 80% of max. Also Ive been doign squats and then immediately doing straight leg deadlifts. and then doing a set of quad extendoids and ham curls after a calf work out.

helped me a bit *shrug*

but yeah, impressed man, youre gonna have to throw some pictars up hurr.

yeah I wanted to cry the first time I did it. It really hurt and was really difficult.

Posted by Nrg2Nfinit on Apr-25-2005 05:21:

lol ok well i gotta get a camera.. ill see if i can borrow my friends lol.. its not much improvement.. maybe some toning but mass wise.. you can see that ive actualy lost weight lol

ill try doing some deadlifts.. i have to be very careful since ive previously injured my pelvis joint before (which put me out of comission for months) but its about time ive gotten back into it

deadlifts will definatley target your hamstrings more then squats.. (im 1 month into doing squats seriously.. ill try to get more depth with them your right) im only going a bit past paralell i think and my back has gotten accustomed to it.

good gains comming from you very impressive.. .. still keeping the body fat down and toning as well.

Its important to keep on doing stuff like that to keep your muscle endurance up.. (cardio is a great substitute as well and sports)
otherwise you simply increase your power.. but your muscles get sore and tired very quickly (especially with heavy lifting)

yoga > pilates i would say..

(ive only done like 2 classes of yoga) but the difference in intensity is big

Posted by Orbax on Apr-25-2005 05:38:

Posted by Orbax on Apr-25-2005 17:03:
