TugboatTimmy Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I've been lifting for a while and i have tried a variety of supplements for energy protein etc etc, but this shit i just picked up the other day called, Isagenix Ionix supreme, seems to give me the extra strength and energy I need for my workouts.

That feeling gets really addictive. I need to start running some more. Have you tried interval training? It's worked great for me in the past.

angelofdeath Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thatta boy.. how much weight did you use? you are supposed to use the amount of weight that makes you puke when you finish your last set of the complex. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Someone please answer me this: Why is it that we are only supposed to be able to pack on 5-10 pounds of muscle a year via weight training but folks fresh out of basic training (which is 12 or 16 weeks?) come out looking muscular? I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. For me it was 12 weeks it can be longer depending on your job. Work out 2 times (mostly cardio and calisthenics) a day for 5 days a week. Some people are allowed weight training others are not its up to the drill sergeants. I think the biggest reason may be because of the diet. They strictly enforce 3 meals a day and you HAVE to finish everything on your tray and you are never allowed any cake. pie or any other desert.

First time doing them and ONLY with the barbell. I did 3 sets similar to this... What was the big difference between the deadlifts and the RDLs at the end. I noticed there was not as much bend in the knees for the RDL's, other than that Im missing what the difference is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanfullofretards Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 That's pretty much all it is.. with RDL's you keep your legs a lot more straight With standard deadlifts you use more of your leg strength and RDL's use pretty much only your back.

I don't get it. IF YOU'RE SKINNY AND ONLY GAINING 5 LBS PER YEAR. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. ALOT OF PEOPLE GAIN 30-40 EVEN 50 LBS IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF WEIGHTLIFTING. OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T KEEP UP THAT UP FOREVER THOUGH OR EVERYONE WOULD WEIGH 300 LBS AFTER A FEW YEARS. RDL'S ARE LIKE A STRAIGHT LEG DEADLIFT EXCEPT YOU KEEP THE BARBELL AGAINST YOUR LEGS AND PUSH YOUR HIPS BACK AS FAR AS YOU CAN AND ON THE REVERSE YOU EXTEND YOUR HIPS FORWARD AND FLEX YOUR HAMS AND GLUTES.

I don't get it. probably mostly to do with body fat percentage dropping... Hence looking more "jacked" but also probably has a lot to do with dudes with no muscle at all and never doing chins, etc at all before I think gaining weight is largely genetic and everyone is different rdl... Legs don't have to be straight, They can be slightly bent....but as stated push your ass back and don't work the knee joint keep it stationary at all times. Pull from hamstrings. Light fast partial romanian deads are great squat assistance work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever i start a new sport i see my muscle building shift to the harder worked areas. Its probably similar with basic too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemFailure Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 If any of you have a cottage know of someone that's got one. Go there for a weekend split close to 300 logs of pine and ash for the two days with a manual splitter Acquire old man strength if you keep it up. Best upper body work out I have ever done.

You didn't read what I said. Gaining 30-50 pounds of muscle in one year is physically impossible (*unless you're taking a growth hormone). I believe this would be fat and glycogen gains for the most part. AOD: That's probably the best explanation. Lots of cutting on top of toned muscle.
