My gym doesnot have a damn power rack, it is getting difficult cleaning heavy weight on my back off the floor!!!! i might've have to start exercising @ home. Will attempt 50kgs squat today, have to clean the damn weight also! I avoid the smith machine. Gym doesnot allow inverted rows on as mith which is rated to handle 300kgs weight :lol: dayam! Have to switch over to bent over rows!

Hey rockfella I squatted 70 kgs today. and 40 kgs deadlift :hap2:
Have to Get better with Bench Press(40 kgs) and Overhead press(30 kgs)
 
re: The Fitness Thread !

That's nice bro... gud job. Hey u need to increase your OHP/BP/DLs. Keep squats as your last priority for now. Always bench OR OHP OR DLs as the first exercise when u workout. This is called weak point priority principle : Always train the weakest muscles first. Increase your numbers on the OHP/BP/DLs. Don't stop squatting but squat in the end of the workout. Ur squats are way stronger that other compound moves. ur DL shud be above 100 kg so reach for that. I squat 50kgs now and my DL is 90kg+ soon i will cross 100kg. U can lift maximum weight in DLs (Don't underestimate it, higher numbers on the DLs will increase all your lifts! Gud luck :)

Just to add here.... google some vids on how to do STANDARD DLS not STDLs (Straight leg deadlift), Romanian or Sumo DLs for the time being. There is a possibility u r either getting intimidated with the heavy weight or doing something else.

PS: u squat 70kg on back squat right? If it is on the smith dump the smith, do back squats and go below parallel (squat deep) ... no matter what your coach says.. "ur knee will get injured etc" = all bullcrap!

IN DLS KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT... FORM IS TOP PROORITY! ALWAYS :p

LOL SO MANY TIMES I EDITTED THIS POST:lol: FINAL LAST THING: Add hyper-extensions after you DL. 3 sets of as much as u can. See your DL numbers shooting-up!

FYI: It is the highest exported herb from India. Our land's goodness is exported to many countries.

Indian herb safed musli also known as natural Viagra is already running low on supply. Renowned Supplement manufacturers like BSN use this Indian herb (imported from India) in their testosterone boosters!

Muscle Gaining Secrets: Here’s How to Gain Weight Fast

You’re sick & tired of your skinny look. You’re training hard and tried everything, but can’t gain weight. You’re still skinny and weak, and you have no idea of how to get rid of your belly fat while building lean muscle mass.

Worse: the lack of results makes you lose motivation to go the gym. Maybe they are right after all: you can’t gain weight because of your bad genetics and fast metabolism. That’s why you must keep training harder. A lot harder.

Right?

Wrong!

Top 3 Mistakes Hardgainers Make. You’ve been lied to. You don’t have a fast metabolism or bad genetics. And you don’t need to train harder. You need to train smarter. Stop making these mistakes:

* Eating Like a Pigeon. The reason you can eat anything without gaining weight is because you don’t eat lot. I know you think you do, but you don’t. Otherwise you wouldn’t be skinny. Track calories for proof.

* Training Like a Pro Bodybuilder. Isolation exercises 6x per week don’t build muscle mass & bulk. And unless you use steroids, you’ll overtrain by going to the gym so many times per week.

* Wasting Money on Supplements. Most don’t do what they promise and they’re always useless without a solid diet & training program.

Here’s How to Gain Weight Fast. It doesn’t matter how skinny you are or how long you’ve been struggling with this. You can gain weight. You simply need to use the right methods. These are:

* Eat Like a Horse. If you’re a hardgainer you’ll only gain weight once you start eating at least 5000kcal/day – consistently. Milk, pasta, nuts, eggs and tuna should be your new friends.

* Train for Strength. Did you know Schwarzenegger could Bench 440lbs & Deadlift 660lbs? That’s how he built his physique: heavy and free weight compound exercises. Body part splits came much later.

* Take Rest Days. Muscles grow when you rest, not when you train them. If you go the gym 6x/week and train to failure all the time, your muscles will never get a chance to recover and grow.

* Be Consistent. You won’t gain weight if you eat 5000kcal today but only 2000kcal the rest of the week. You also won’t gain weight if you go the gym 1x/week and skip your 2 other workouts. Consistency is crucial.

Muscle magazines try to tell you supplements are key to gaining muscle mass. Truth is that each major muscle magazine owns a supplement company. Their routines are ineffective on purpose: to get you hooked on supplements.
 
re: The Fitness Thread !

Your gym coach is confusing u... doing stomach exercises will NOT hamper your weight gain niether it will burn off fat from your waist, but it will develop you abs so when u finally have low far % (after u bulk up) u will see your abs. Do abs every third day. Prone bridges, reverse crunches, standard crunches, develope brute power doing these then jump to the advanced super style ones.

Bhai once u get hooked to whey protein u might get hooked with it mentally... u will need constant supply of whey how will u arrange that? Do you have enough money to spend 2k on whey every month? If yes then get it but don't expect miracles after eating one dabba of whey! These are supplements and should be taken as SUPPLEMENTS! They can never replace normal healthy food!

re: The Fitness Thread !

hi i m from Navi Mumbai ....

Can anyone suggest me good gym around vashi or nerul
i have been to golds gym ...they got a good facility but the annual membership seems to be bit pricey.. 14k to be specific..
my main motive would be reducing stomach and waist...
 
re: The Fitness Thread !

14k for the entire year is good imo FOR GOLD' GYM (IF IT STANDS AT PAR WITH IT'S WORLDWIDE GYMS). start running/jogging for 30 mins every third day. Get into a routine first then start spending money on gyms. Spend money on food first!

re: The Fitness Thread !

I think the thread title should be changed to "TE's Fitness Thread" or something similar.
@ Mods... can it be done?
 
re: The Fitness Thread !

Squatted 52.5 kgs today for 5 sets 5 reps.

DL 85kgs ( Need chalk, fancy shiny rod in the gym slips from my hands)

Now i can't clean more weight off the floor, my back will break into smithereens! Might just lift @ home... i regret giving annual fee to the gym... AC gyms are only good in summers ...... i hate delhi's extreme climate also... wtf i hate so many thing! :lol:

Lower Back Exercises - Hyperextensions
Google is your friend bro :)

Also read this:

Tabata Protocol

^^ Most intense form of HIIT, will keep on burning fat for 2 days after u do it unlike long steady cardio which burns fat ONLY WHEN U DO IT! But is hard and needs more time to rest betweeen sessions!

please explain how it can be done on a TM
how much maximum speed do i increase on the tm

i need to start doing this

been more than 25 days regular on TM now- no results :p
 
re: The Fitness Thread !

U r not ready for HIIT bro. Ur legs will give up... injury is inevitable. U can try a milder version. Walk @ 6km for 2 mins then sprint for 1 min @ highest TM speed, rest for 2 mins repeat 3 times then cool down by walking @ 6km/hr for 2 mins. Workout done! See how it feels. I have told u numerous times to do free squats if not barbell back squats. U will notice that your legs will give up much before u start feeling any "lung-burn going out of breath" etc.

re: The Fitness Thread !

To make it work your sprints should be full throttle as if some rabid dog runs behind u to bite u. Warm-up cool down is very important, cool body gets injured very fast, rest today, see how your body reacts, try day after tomorrow. Injury = pain = frustration = no training = stagnation = time loss = expences on medicnes/doctors = all progress back to square one = lack of motivation + not healthy etc :cool2:
