Biden attempts to get to 185

[Uncle Rico]

Going to the gym today for the first time in a while. My diet will pretty much stay the same for now until I get some of my former strength back. Then I'll modified version Nathans cut routine.

Main Goal: To be able to hang on a regulation rim again w/ 2 hands. (Silly i know) And to improve overall definition.

Main weight goal: 210-215ish ...(I feel like an Ethiopian being any smaller. Just depends on how it looks)

Early weight goal: 230

Bench Goal: 315...again
Squat Goal: 405...again


Im 6'1 244.....:(

[Porch Monkey]

Lol@ Ethiopian

I has no problems w/ my face. im just ultra self conscious and hard on myself. Thats why Ive been so depressed for the past year.
No worries tho

Shush. You know nothing of crunk.

GL, mane!

Yea man. You're def my inspiration on this one.

[Uncle Rico]

Anyways. Lift went well. Did arms, back, shoulders and abs.

[pl8er]

Well post lifting weight stats at the least.

[Uncle Rico]

Bench:

195x6
205x4
210x3
215x2
220x1

The bench killed my arms and chest for the rest of the workout...:(
Curls:
95x10x3

Dumbell Chest press:
35(in each hand)x12x5

Dumbell Lat Raises:
25x10x5

Dumbell Front Raises:
25x10x5

2Handed Dumbell Tricep extension:
40x10x3

I used the tricep extension machine or whatever it was called also. But, I dont remember how much weight I had on there.

And a 135 burnout

I could've done more a few more excercises didn't really wanna kill myself in there on the first day. Especially after taking so much time off. I also had no set plan. I just went in there and started liftin. lol

[Uncle Rico]

Felt like a noob tho

[Captain Ahab]

Strong curls not to have lifted in that long. Very nice.

[Uncle Rico]

They werent so strong on the last set though.......Only 6 of em' and that was struggling. Im gonna re-evaluate that excercise.

But thanks!

[mackin]

Damn you strong people. :fyi:

[Porch Monkey]

strong? nga's weak! that's why he made this thread

[pl8er]

Good work!

Your body will remember that which is strength training and you will be back up in no time. Some impressive numbers on there for sure.

[adio]

Felt like a noob tho

don't u hate that?? like you'll never reach your goal ever!??!!?

[mackin]

strong? nga's weak! that's why he made this thread

he's plenty strong. maybe not super strong for the weight, but certainly stronger than me.

[Uncle Rico]

don't u hate that?? like you'll never reach your goal ever!??!!?
Hell yea. I was stittin there doin the chest press like wtf. Had hella trouble controlling the weight.
he's plenty strong. maybe not super strong for the weight, but certainly stronger than me.

Im prob stronger than him anyway. lol. Im trying to catch DH and pl8er though.

[J31Bro]

No worries tho

Shush. You know nothing of crunk.

P8er and DH....What are yall's bench press pyramids like??

[Captain Ahab]

Im trying to catch DH though.
Not happening. :fyi:


P8er and DH....What are yall's bench press pyramids like??
When I am trying to gain strength and mass I do a 5x5 a lot for bench.
Last fall I started at 255 5x5 and worked up to 295 5x5.

My last heavy workout was something like
155x10
225x5
275x2 all for warmup

then

335x3
315x4
285x5
225x10
195x12 not sure on exact numbers but very similar

[Uncle Rico]

Not happening. :fyi:

You better not plateau or stop lifting.

Dang son. Good stuff.

[Captain Ahab]

Always a way to bust through a plateau.

Shit, at the end of my cut at the beginning of August I probably couldn't bench more than 330 or 335. Fastforward to november and add at least 30lbs to that.

[pl8er]

I adapt too easily to chest so my bench really changes often.

Standard pyramid for me would be

135 pumps (so 15-20)...this gives my muscles some time to stretch and I'll hold at both top and bottom for a few and after that I will start to do some rapid presses

185X10
205X10
225X10
275X5-8 (normally closer to 5)
295X3
315X1-3

Between those I usually will do curls or walk over for very light tricep extensions using a rope. So no real break, but I do give the muscles about a minute to breath.

I'll usually use a block of wood and to single presses until I fail.

315X1
325X1
335X1

after those (of course breaks for other muscle groups) I will drop down to 225 and rep out 10

Pull the 45's and rep till failure. I give it about 3-5minutes and do slow reps. Honestly, the worst part of this is the last part. I'm already totally exhausted, and now I push up as hard and quickly as I can to the top of the rep, coming back down, I move very very slow....so its very much a press in reverse.

Usually called a 1-1-3-1 press. 1 second up, hold for 1 second, 3 seconds down, hold for 1 second. I finish with these as well at the end of my final drop set. Great way to completely fatique the muscle.

[CockMuncher]

Did you know on the pull ups if you spread your arms wider out and try to pull yourself up you get a better burn

[Porch Monkey]

Did you know that Jesus was a Jew?

[junior]

Did you know on the pull ups if you spread your arms wider out and try to pull yourself up you get a better burn

the wider your grip on pull ups, the more you focus on the outer section of your back. The closer your grip, the more the focus is on the middle of your back.

I'm about to start a cut first week of Feb, check out my thread and throw in some input. It's always appreciated :)

[Uncle Rico]

It would be totally awesome if you could make a thread on here to document you getting back into training.
I havent been this sore in a looong time....I literally cant do a pushup.

I was the same way. Today is the first day my legs haven't been sore... Worked them out last Thursday...

[CockMuncher]

ahh didnt know that

[junior]

Sure. If you want any help, let me know. Would be my pleasure to help out.

Gotta love the pain. I sent you your program last night by email. Let me know if you got it or not.

It would be totally awesome if you could make a thread on here to document you getting back into training.


I could. I don't usually. I'm shy:ugh:! lol.

ahh didnt know that

A lot of people don't. You'd be amazed how a simple adjustment in hand positoning can make a huge difference on certain exercises.

[Uncle Rico]

You taking in lots of water?

I didnt the first day. But I am now. I guess thats why im payin for it.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the kind words.

Sorry to bust your balls adio. I've been in the fitness industry for 14 years now. Been a personal trainer for 14, managed gyms for 7, owned a supplements shop, have two fitness clothing lines, and am currently a commercial gym equipment sales rep. And yes, I manage a gym right now, and am currently working on purchasing it.

I also won the alberta bodybuilding championships, the western Canadian all natural championships, and will soon be the North American All Natural Champion(if I ever get my shit together again, and focus on my training!) So, if you ever have any questions about training or nutrition, let me know. Would love to help out.

[Captain Ahab]

Whats great is junior help me get ripped and I didn't have to pay for a trainer! w00t!

Wowza...I didn't know all of that. How far from ready for All Natural?

[pl8er]

Link me up to your clothing line, I'll pick something up.

Also, post pics when you get some time.

[junior]

I just pointed you in the right direction, you did all the work man. Was great to see things worked so well for ya. You took it to a whole other level!

[junior]

Wowza...I didn't know all of that. How far from ready for All Natural?

Fair ways. It's my first pro show, so I don't want to half ass it.

Competitions aren't a high priority for me any more. My family and future well being are my main concerns. But I've had the itch to step back on stage for a while now. So if the stars all align properly and I can focus on my training without sacrificing "too much" of my life, it will be balls to the wall.

[Uncle Rico]

junior..I got your program. :) I should be strating shortly.

[pl8er]

You're going to get into some pain now! Results will follow

[Porch Monkey]

bring the pain baby

[junior]

junior..I got your program. :) I should be strating shortly.

Cool. Hope you enjoy. Simple and basic to start, we'll switch things up in a month or so and start swelling your body up big time!

[pl8er]

I would like some input from you too :) My naked body is exposed in the pl8er's motivation thread if you get time to look...i'll PM my email.

If you are busy, by all means ignore my request, but I'd like to know your thoughts if and when you had time.

Lol. Thanks. I know a thing or two, but I'm still learning. There's always rooms to improve one's knowledge base. I have no problem helping with specific training programs. I've trained several top level atheletes, but I enjoy training the average man/woman that likes to push themselves. What kind of help you looking for?

What kind of mobility response do you have? Are you able to use a treadmill, elliptical, bike? if so, just walking or running as well? What kind of movements are uncomfortable for you, as far as bending and such? I imagine most of the issues come from movements where your center of gravity changes?

[Uncle Rico]

Well technically today.

[Uncle Rico]

New goal is to shrink my portion size. Since I moved back into my parents and have been jobless I eat 2 get full because I honestly dont know when my next meal is coming(even though I usually eat about twice a day).

I'll try 2 resist eating and just drink a shit ton of water like i used 2.

[pl8er]

[Uncle Rico]

Im gonna use this as a weight log for the time bieing + any other workout facts. My goal is to drop 50 pounds.

6/15 - 256.5

[Uncle Rico]

Lets see how much I remember from all this workout crap.

Day 1- 2miles + basketball later.

[Uncle Rico]

252.3

[Uncle Rico]

Basketball time. I wonder how much water weight I'll lose.

[Uncle Rico]

248.8


Apparently a lot.

[Uncle Rico]

Finally got my gym membership. :woot:

[adio]

Felt like a noob tho

dont chu hate that!?!?!?!? pt. 2

[impulse_ak]

275's n shit thats too much for me atm...im not sure if i want to go that high on the weights...i have a habit of training my endurance and speed...why is it that if i stop workin out for 2 weeks my definition dies off?! but my speed is still there

[impulse_ak]

i took my nutes without food now after throwin a few combos i feel sick and dissy as fuck

[Uncle Rico]

dont chu hate that!?!?!?!? pt. 2
Yep.
i took my nutes without food now after throwin a few combos i feel sick and dissy as fuck

Nutes?

[Uncle Rico]

Played alot of basketball today. Weighed in at 252. :Confused: and :(

[Snowboarder117]

Played alot of basketball today. Weighed in at 252. :Confused: and :(

do you go to the gym regularly now too?

[Uncle Rico]

Yep, sure do. Seeing as though I'd like to join the military as soon as possble I'm extra conscious about shit.


At my height (officially w/o shoes) im 6'0" :( Even though my license and every football program that ive ever been in says 6'1. I'd have to weigh:

Army: 185
Navy: 191
Marines: 192
Airforce: 194


I have no idea what branch that I'll try to get into. So im just going for 185.

When I was in hs I was 215 and that was after doing a shit ton of lifting and running almost year round. So I dunno how this is gonna work out.

[Uncle Rico]

Along w/ running, basketball, and lifting...I'll be doing p90x.

I'd like to do alot of my old football conditioning excercises as well but i dont have a place where thats applicable and I'd prob look pretty retarded doing them.

[pl8er]

I'm sure it has been said, but diet will mean more to your weight loss than anything else. Diet + cardio = weight be gone.

[Uncle Rico]

This is true. The diet part is honestly the hardest aspect.

[pl8er]

Yeah it is. Fast, quick, cheap food is everywhere and the worst thing for you.

[pl8er]

68 right now with a high of 83....get it done before the sun wakes up too much more. Just about perfect running weather.

[Uncle Rico]

Yep... Do your running as soon as the sun comes up and you wont have any worries.

[jesus]

They take into account how big your neck is to offset whether your weight is simply girth or muscle. Those numbers aren't set in stone.

[Uncle Rico]

Well. i def understand that. But, seeing as though there is a weight limit I dont have much say in that matter.

@ 250 I can look the same size as someone who is pretty much the same size and weighs 220.

[gymfreak101]

Biden you don't have to make weight to get into the military just body fat. I am 6 ft and never weighed less than 219. Navy max bodyfat is 22 percent.

[Spider Monkey]

Played alot of basketball today. Weighed in at 252. :Confused: and :(

Whao. You don't look that fat bro.

Ahhhhh. I saw the height and weight chart and it def threw me off. Thanks.

I guess. This is so i can get a job though. So i doubt it. Im atleast aiming to get my bodyfat in the correct percentage. If i dont make 185 oh well. But i atleast have to get to around 215.
And that is magnified by 5000 because of who it is.

Fuck you. Bitch.

[Spider Monkey]

Fuck you. Bitch.

Prove me wrong bro. I'll be the first to suck your dick.

[Uncle Rico]

Anyone have any lower pectoral excercises besides decline bench. The arch in my lower back is slightly more exaggerated than the average person's and declines sharp pain even with very light weight.

Any suggestions?

[Captain Ahab]

I was suprised that DH and Pl8 quit their threads to be honest.

I got cut last summer, no doubt. I was hot. People knew it.

I cut again this year..For 2 months...Got a 6 pack back..


Then comes turkey season..then comes a month on the road.. then came FUCK IT!!!!


I honestly wanted to get cut b/c I thought I'd pull "hotter" leg. Did I? No.


I have a beer gut right now and may very well be pulling hotter leg than anyone else on here. So do I give a fuck? No.






(I am starting back cutting tomorrow) :fyi:

[Uncle Rico]

My weight is still hovering around 245-248ish even after a week of calorie counting. But im not too worried about that.

I can see a slight fat decrease so its ok w/ me.

I wish I could say you can not pay attention to weight but you really can't.




I know how all this shit works and if your not losing weight your not doing it right. Sorry, brah.

You will look "bigger" at a smaller weight when done correctly.

Do me a favor and post your newest cutting routine. I experienced the fuck it attitude after my senior year in hs when i ended up deciding to go to a DIII school.

I suppose. I was in the 250's last week btw.

[Captain Ahab]

Newest cutting routine?

Brah, I haven't worked out since March. I am the fattest I have been in years.
Last summer I was approx <10% bf. pretty sure below 10%. Now I am almost positive I am 16%+.

I just honestly got to the point where I was like "Is it worth it?".

What fucked me so much was it being my last semester of undergraduate school. I just got in the "Fuck It" mode.



I know I am getting off track. Just had to vent :fyi:


But for a cutting routine....

Simply put it is this:

Count calories and protein. Lift weights. Do cardio.


Once you get used to it and in the routine it is EASY. I am serious.

[Captain Ahab]

But like I said, I did it for all the wrong reasons last summer.

I should have did it for me but I did it for the women. Then I realized I had better women experience regardless of what my body looked like :shrug:

After abusing myself alcoholically (I like that word) and physically the last few months I am ready to kick my own ass again! :woot:

[Uncle Rico]

Btw. Dh i know about calorie counting. I only take in around 1300ish a day. Maybe I should go lower. As far as protien goes. I know that muscles need protein to grow and repair. But, I dont have any money to go out and buy a big ass thing of protein powder. So the only protein that i get comes from my diet + the boosts that I drink.

Your 250lbs. and only eating 1300 calories? Holy shit man. Your body is going to go into starvation mode and you'll never loose weight, but actually gain weight. That's the completely wrong way of doing it.

What do you suggest?

[Uncle Rico]

I was trying to lose weight as fast as humanly possible. LOL.

[Uncle Rico]

I'll do whatever it takes within my financial means.

At 250lbs., you need to be taking in at LEAST 250 grams (which is 1000 calories) in protein alone, JUST to maintain the muscle tissue you have. You need close to double that if you are looking to gain muscle tissue. Then you need to make sure you take in enough carbs in order to process that protein and not make your body go into ketoacidosis, which can do damage to your liver and kidneys. Trust me you don't want to go through that. Not fun.

[mackin]

I think a few hundred under maintenance while lifting and cardio would be a good way to go. Don't want to starve yourself.

[ThomasG]

Wow most of my little female clients eat more than 1300. Don't fuck up your metabolism bro, I see and deal with it everyday.

[Uncle Rico]

My metabolism sucks. Hence why I'm 250.

[Uncle Rico]

But I stopped those shenanigans once I saw everyone criticizing me about it. Just been running a mile a day. And lifting.

I was running two until I sprained a ligament in my foot playing basketball. I started back running last week and didnt want to over do it.

[Uncle Rico]

Just coming in here to keep track of things. Weighed in at 247 today after playing basketball for 5 hours and my leg routine. My off day two days ago I was around 260. :(

Dont really know whats going on. But I'm assuming that its all water weight (i drink atleast 2 liters a day) + a full stomach.

Also stepped up my calories to 2500 ish. But for some reason Im feeling like I have enough excess fat to last me a whole winter. lol.

[Uncle Rico]

What types of lifts do some of you guys do when you are looking to improve your bench but dont have a spotter readily available. Ive been doing some of the machines, but im always open to new opinions.

[Captain Ahab]

I never have a spotter unless I am maxing :shrug:

[pl8er]

Anyone have any lower pectoral excercises besides decline bench. The arch in my lower back is slightly more exaggerated than the average person's and declines sharp pain even with very light weight.

Any suggestions?

Good luck building lower pectoral pecs without decline.

TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT


(Going all OLT style on threads right now)

STILL NOT ONE MOTHER FUCKING PICTURE ITT

[Uncle Rico]

Im a little more paranoid now. If i crash i dont really know how my gym owner would accept me dumping the weight on the floor.

This. Except I never max lol.

Just gotta be careful and know when you shouldn't try to push another rep. I've only gotten greedy once. Luckily there was someone there to save me, lol.

If you're looking to push heavier and want security, use dumbbells. Hit failure and then drop to the sides. If you absolutely want to go heavy without a spotter on barbell bench press, use the power cage and set the safety rails at your bottom point. Some people make fun of this, but that is what it is for. No shame in doing that. When I train at the store afterhours by myself, that's what I do. I won't sacrifice my heavy presses just because I don't have a spotter.,

Will be doing this on friday. Hopefully I wont be getting any angry voicemails from the owner.

[Uncle Rico]

Started doing the rippetoe workout + a few of junior suggestions just to get my muscles used to lifting again.

My form is all kinds of shitty at the moment.

[Uncle Rico]

Its somewhat discouraging to have to work back to where I was at 15-18. But persistence is key I suppose.

[Twistedchild420]

Got blue balls from lack of pics :crap:

[Uncle Rico]

I don't know why anyone wants to see progress pics from 240-250 pound fat ass that let them-self go.

[Captain Ahab]

Don't feel bad bb.

I went from 176lbs @ 5'8" at approx 8-9% bodyfat to 205lbs in a year.

Pathetic.

The thing is I really don't even plan to start working out again until I get back in a "set schedule"..Which will be August 16 when I start grad school. I know one thing, when I am in a SET IN STONE schedule for the next 2 years, epic progress pics will be posted again.

[mackin]

Realized that my core is the main thing hindering my progress. The thing about it is, that my swayed is def hurting me. Feels like I'm getting stabbed whenever I do lower back and ab excercises.

Im about 2 quit drinking completely and starve myself. Im sure that my body will burn alot of my muscle way like it did before. But I def lost torso fat before when I did the same thing.
My quads/glutes and upper back are still there but all this extra weight is def hindering my progress.

:crap:

[Captain Ahab]

I'll say this bout the starving yourself..don't do it...

Add in more cardio maybe..

I found out that I lost weight just as quick going from 2,000 calories to 2,400-2,500 calories and ingesting most the extra calories from protein.

I predict a 3 for 3 on that fail.

[Porch Monkey]

I'll send him pics of booze every day.

[Captain Ahab]

People predicted fail on my first cut.

Know what happened? I pwn'd ya'lls ass.

I knew cut this summer would be difficult with epic turkey season and wrapping up grad school stuff.

I didn't doubt you that time. I don't make predictions bro. I recite fact before it happenes. :wat:

[jesus]

HeyZeus ITT

[Uncle Rico]

I went from 244 then to 280 from 7/11/10 - 3/11. no idea how that happened. Im now back @ 244.

[Uncle Rico]

I wonder why my weight fluctuates so much.

[J31Bro]

Pregnancy.

[Porch Monkey]

Biden who?

[pl8er]

what do you eat?

[mackin]

were you starving yourself and then started eating large amounts again? Could have raped your metabolism.

[Uncle Rico]

Pregnancy.
Possibly.
were you starving yourself and then started eating large amounts again? Could have raped your metabolism.
The starving myself thing lasted maybe a week or two. But its possible. I blame my 6 month alcohol binge. I rarely drink now.
what do you eat?

Idk how to answer this.

[Uncle Rico]

Peanut butter sandwiches, tuna, Salads, protein shakes, eggs, bacon, french toast sticks. Thats about it during the week.

[Uncle Rico]

Im sure that my job working the fuck out of me is helping as well.

[Captain Ahab]

Why errrrrrryone wanna copy my 6-month long drinking/weight gain binge then get shredded fad?

[TXC]

Still no pics nigga.
