adams2003 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 4-5 months ago I was a solid 235lb's, benching 370, deadlifting 600 max and running 2-3 miles daily. A broken hand, new girlfriend and cheesburgers lead me to a out of shape 250lbs. Starting to get back into the swing of things last week. Hopefully I will be somewhere close to where I was before in the next 3 or 4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSport Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I haven't worked out for a while now, but I am trying to get bcak into it.. i am in similar situation to chase, because i wake up early for work, and don't get to the gym till like 11 pm, and by then I am almost spent.. I have also lost a lot of strength, and don't eat very healthy so it is killing my motivation.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplements could really help you out here. Take some pre work boosters so you have tons of energry thru your workout. I personally took a during work out booster that helped me out alot. I was benching 275 after only working out for 4 months but i retained alot of muscle memory from hs football and working out my first deployment. Eating over there was eating what you have and sometimes not knowing or caring how good it is for your body. A good source of vitamins for people that are working out is animal pak. They have differnt paks based off of what you want. IF you wanan get big or just be all around good athletic shape. Everybody's body responds differntly to certain supplements so if you dont feel something is helping at all dont be afraid to to switch. If you dont feel like supplements are good for you body take centrum vitamins they do help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superredss Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 yea i learned the hard way, u gotta get enough sleep for your muscles to grow and repair. Or else you hit a plateau that you cant EVER get over! Over the past few months I have really gotten myself into a good workout regiment, so far its paying off.

SS_bnoon_SS Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 My problem too. I eat right but can't hit the rack early enough. Mr. P. Me too, why, I rarely get more than 8-9 hours tops! LOL! I've been really lucky to have normal hours, at least until on call week came around. I found that if I eat an Uncle Ben's Ready Made Rice pouch about 30-45 minutes before the gym I power right through the workout, with a creatine protein powder shake right after. If I need an extra boost, I drink an energy drink (nothing with cafeene) right before working out as well as they tend to wear off quickly and don't effect my sleep cycle. Unsalted cashews are another good source, as are tuna (in water), whole wheat pasta, and low fat dairy items. Tonight: Pull excercises. Curls, wide chins, curls, iso-rows, curls, knee jerks (hold dumbell knee high in bent over stance, jerk to chest), and more curls. Oh, look at that, my biceps are getting excited already!

SSThunder Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Man I just don't have the time or motivation to work out anymore. I really need to get on a good set schedule real soon. I do play basketball Wed and Fri mornings from 6 till 7:30 or 8:00 before work. That usually keeps my weight down to 190 or so. How many days a week do I need to lift to keep my chest in shape? I was thinking 2 days a week would be fine since that's how we did it in college. Our coaches had a good workout setup for us. I usually will do bench press, incline press, dumbell bench press and dumbell incline press to keep my chest in shape. Is that enough?

If you're going for chest (pecs) then I'd add a butterfly in there, either machine, fly cables, or dumbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkt71 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Nothing better than a handful of D-bols, a couple of shots of sustenon-250 and finish it up with a nice helping of Equipose or deca. Oh and lift heavy and eat a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
