New site? Maybe some day.

You say you dislike sports and athletics because you
'don't like watching sweaty men run around and rub into eachother.'
But you go to the gym quite often and talk about how much you're deadlifting. Assumimg you have someone to spot you, and you spot someone else, Y U NO MAKE SENSE. Lifting weights is for physical conditioning; sports are, for the most part, phsyically conditioned people playing an organized game for entertainment. EXPLAIN YOUSELF.
VALID QUESTION IS VALID, DUMB THREAD IS DUMB. |
|
Thread is invalid, everyone knows he only does it to check out dudes flexing and showing. There's no joy in competition, only in dicks. |
|
he's the Jerry Sandusky of metal. |
|
You can't spot deadlifts. |
|
Joke was, if he were to be spotted while deadlifting and vice versa, he'd have his cock in the ass as they bend over. |
|
playing sports > watching sports |
|
Aril misses the boat. I don't talk to or interact with anyone at the gym. You obviously don't know what deadlifts are if you think you need a spotter. If you have issues while deadlifting, let go of the bar (granted that would probably f up your back worse than gently putting the bar down).
Next, I'm. Perfectly fine with PLAYING sports. If you like a sport, get off your ass and play sports. Sitting there and watch other dudes work out is what I don't get. Downfall of fatmeria. |
|
I haven't deadlifted since my highschool basketball days.. felt it was a little unnecessary for what I was trying to do. shit blew my back out, too. I was more into leg presses after that. Fuck working on legs, though. Also, the gym is great for checking guys out, hence the_reverend and andrewbastards frequent use of it. |
|
Did my spottung allusion joke go over everyone's head? Lame. |

Also, I LOVE it. Got a little GYM RAGE in this post. |
|
FEEEEELLLL THE BURN. Also, I'm going to do some situps. Want to stand over me with your legs spread and SPOT ME, rev? |
|
so you can fart on me? I tried an elliptical machine at my work. that killed my legs worse than running. I think cause it makes your stride so short. |
|
ON TO SERIOUS QUESTION NOW:
What is your routine? One day of lifting, one day of cardio? Or do you mix it up? It's been nearly five years since I was a gym regular, I NEED to go again. It's funny, though, I've gained 50 lbs since then and I feel I'm stronger than when I lifted. |
|
Beer gives you natural strength, but beer muscle weighs a lot more than workout muscle. |
|
We've determined in this thread that you can't spot for deadlifts.
Though, you can spot for squats, and I can vouch for the fact that it looks very, very gay. |
|
SEE: BABE RUTH
also, it feels good to post on this godforsaken forum again, albeit unfrequent. |
|
Squats SUCK. Total football player thing to do, though. |
|
When I lifted on the regular (which was all the way back in high school), the two lifts I was the best at were squats and cleans. I've always been horrible at the bench though. I've always had strong legs, but my upper body strength is just awful. |
|
|
You can't spot deadlifts. |
Best....hahahahahaha. |
|
|
I shit blew my back out, too. I was more into leg presses after that. |
Leg presses are like the most useless thing you can do in the gym, just do squatz |
|
ITT: my subtle allusion humor falls on deaf ears, makes me look like an idiot. FOOK U RTTP. |
|
You were implying a hot dog in the bun scenario, I think |
|
I get a pinching feeling between my shoulder blades when I bench. someone said to change my grip to a narrower grip, but it doesn't seem to help much.
my "routine" if you can call it that is that I go 1 day a week to "maintine" and 2 days a week to "improve". I want to try to do 20 minutes of cardio every morning and mix up running, burpees, cycling, etc.... but it hasn't happened yet.
Tuesdays, I go
1) 1.5 miles running to warm up
2) sets of 10 lat pull down/set of 10 dips (repeat 3x)
3) sets of 10 butterfly like machine/reverse delts (repeat 3x)
4) sets of 10 that thing where you pull down in front of you/straight bar curls (repeat 3x)
5) sets of 10 pull down cable in front of me with each arm/inner flexors/outter flexors/hatchet chooper/each arm pull down palm down/each arm pull down palm up (repeat 3x)
and then if I have time
6) sets of 10 deadlifts/(30 decline situps)/squats/bench press (repeat 3x)
7) max out deadlifts
8) drink alcohol
on the other day I go (either thurs/fri/sat), I usually make something up like
run a mile, curls, 3 different barbell freeweights, deadlifts, situps, something with the cablemachine, squats, stepping up on a bench and lifting a weight over my head
and then repeat that til I either run out of time/can't breath/almost puke. |
|
if ya love the game, there's nothing better than watching athletes at the top of the game. it has nothing to do with "playing sports > watching sports". i can't wait to see the germany v greece game today, world class players with nothing to lose. |

THANK YOU. Watching sports is watching people excel at an organized athletic competition. You either love the game or don't.
I feel that a lot of people don't like sports because they don't know the rules. But alas, it can also be seen as a waste of time being a spectator because the spectator isn't actively doing anything.
Baseball is the slowest moving sport, but I fucking love the game. It's so much more than people tossing a ball around. |
|
Quite the routine, rev. So you only really go twice a week? You squeeze a lot in, broseph. |
|
same with understanding soccer, which i think doesn't get enough attention even among sports fans. |

I have played sports my whole life, I just can't sit in front of a TV and watch it. I would probably have to be at the event to watch it. |

There's definitely a difference between being at a sport live and watching it on TV in terms of enjoyment. No question about it. |
|
I'll be honest. I really, really miss playing sports. If the tables turned a little differently, I wouldn't be a forum asshole black metal jerk, but rather playing baseball somewhere. LLWS '94 represent nilla. Well, not really..but almost :(.
Anyway, I would argue that playing sports is better than watching, BUT THEYRE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. |

Same. I need plot, humor, or something I want to learn about if I'm gonna watch something. Don't get anything out of watching sports on TV. |
|
one thing, i'm glad king diamond chose to play music over danish soccer. i like this outcome far better. |

I think it's ritarded when "metalheads" go out of their way to make it known they think sports are dumb. COOL UPDATE BROS. |

I can watch hockey on TV but that's only because I played for 10 years. I've become such a lazy asshole. |

How about you take some initiative and organize the forum asshole baseball league? rev can do farty deadlifts behind the batter's cage to troll everyone in earshot. |

If I was more of a TV person I would probably watch the world cup. |

It's softball, and it may just be a small select group at first. The big one is still meh. If people from Boston complain about driving to shows or hitching rides to shows, I doubt they'd do it for a game. |

Tie it in with a big show that boston people are coming out for. I'll bring people if you arrange it. |

I shit blew my back out, too. I was more into leg presses after that. |
Leg presses are like the most useless thing you can do in the gym, just do squatz |
Completely not true, but keep trying. |
|
I use to be a big fan of the leg press when I was an avid lifter. My lower back has always been weak so squats just didn't do it for me.
Although now I have switched away from weights I do more pushups, hindu squats, iron shirt techniques and so on. |

ProTip: go 4 days a week and don't squeeze in so much stuff. Also, you're doing too much back work. You also have a chest, arms, shoulders -- don't concentrate so much on deads, pulldowns, rows, etc.
So let's say you switch to a 4 day routine -- do something like:
Mon - Chest/Triceps
Wed - Back/Biceps
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Shoulders
It doesn't have to be exactly that, but you get what I mean. Doing different body parts on different days allows more time for recovery, and hence growth.

I agree on the pizza thing, therefore, I don't eat the pizza.
I also think the whole "judgement free zone" thing is a joke. If it's truly a judgement free zone, why do you have an alarm that goes off every time some grunts too loud, or drop weights?
However, like I said, it's cheap. I've given up on working out before, I'd rather waste as little money as possible instead of spending more money going to a "real" gym. |

You should take advantage of the warmer weather outdoors for your cardio if you are looking to lose weight. I find gyms are so stuffy in the summer it is harder to stay motivated. |

The way I see it, outside is going to be just as stuffy as inside a gym more often than not during the summer with the humidity. I'd rather be inside where the sun isn't beating down on me. |

Someone at my gym said "will you spot me"
And I replied with "I don't even know what that is" |

He wanted you to blow him with a half chewed Subway Italian BMT in your mouth. Get with the lingo or GTFO of the gym gramps. |
|
Don't know if I'd go that far. I don't use spots basically because I don't do gargantuan single reps for gains, and I don't like the idea of having a workout partner.
BUT. I could probably up my bench by a lot in a much quicker period of time if I used spotters and didn't have to be as conservative in planning what I can lift for the amount of reps I want. It's a lot of fun when it's 10:00 at night, you've got a failed bench rep resting on your throat, and the only other dude in the gym is a dopey asian guy who bows and smiles every time I yell at him to help me get the fucking barbell off my neck. |
|
Using a spotter >>>>> Getting stapled to the bench.
It's not only good to use a spot for super heavy weight, but also for getting a few extra reps out of your set. The key is having an experienced spotter, not the overweight 20-something douche that wears Tapout gear every day and tries to look tough.
You always want to ask for a body-building spot over a powerlifting spot. Body-building spots keep you moving, powerlifting spots wait until you've been stapled, then pick the weight up. |
|
I would never go without a spotter on a bench press considering I have pinned myself before lol. |
|
You guys are all fucking gay. If you have a gym membership it implies you are too dumb to realize you can do most of your exercises at home. Sure, it's convenient having all that equipment but if you can't support your own weight you're unhealthy. If you can't do several pull ups but bench 300 fuck you. Last I checked, pushups, situps, pullups, stretching, running, and such can be done for free. I lift RTTP'ers up and put them down. |
|
While I agree with the above statement, I wouldn't want to be doing situps in a vat of cat piss (rev's house) |
|
I've gone the bodyweight only exercising route before. It didn't work. I went maybe 4-5 months just doing bodyweight stuff at home and doing 6 mile runs 3+ times a week to supplement my Muay Thai.
The results were no good. I gassed out more. I had more trouble doing pushups when I was gassed, and I was getting tossed around/outlasted by dudes of a similar body type to mine that did lift.
After I returned to lifting I saw my strength increase dramatically. The typical warmdown at my old MT gym was 100 pushups/100 situps/100 squats after 2 hours of training. The only times I could stomach that were when I was regularly lifting weights.
That and situps/squats/burpees etc gets really goddamn boring after a while. Lifting at least mixes it up a little and makes it interesting. By no means am I condemning essential exercises like burpees and squats. But mental motivation is so important. I watch people do the 7 minutes of burpees challenge and just sit there and wonder how they can stand it. |

A power cage would fall right through the floor of my shitty apartment and would crush my first floor neighbors
Not everyone has good solid crown molding for mounting a pullup bar on their door
Some people can better focus on their workout when there isn't a TV/computer/bideo games/kids/pets/roommates in their face, too. |

The Muay Thai gym I'm at now has its own S&C program. Some days are really fun when you work in kettlebells, heavy bag drills, those big giant ropes, tire slams etc. Then there are other days where all we do are a billion burpees, walkout pushups, jump tucks, etc and all I'm thinking the whole time is 'Why aren't we using any of this cool shit?!' |

No, that post is just chock full of arrogant "look at the badass shit I can do, you pussies," and I'm just calling you out on it.
Also, "Planet Gayness" is extremely clever. I'm sure a 7 year old couldn't have come up with that on his own. |
|
Yes, I answered an arrogant post with a little bit of arrogance, but I'm not a "fucking meathead". I've lifted for a long time, it's part of my life, and I take it fairly seriously.
And PF is still gay. |

I go to the gym tonight at 4-ish! |

I do solely body resistance exercises. Pushups, situps, dips, pullups, rockclimbing etc. Does this make me a fag?
I also jerkoff in the tanning booth so I get full UV coverage on my junk. That's not gay right? |
|
i get way high off of anything cardio. biking, soccer, running. lifting doesn't do it for me. slag your tanning booth will soon be taxed thanks to bob dole's healthcare package. |

Slag forgot to mention the key to just diet plan, cocaine. |

Better question: When your kid gets old enough to play sports and he's on a team does that make you gay if your cheering for him/them? |
