That feel when you take 2 days off to recover and have a decent time but all the aches and pain that you masked during your workouts come out and slap you in the face.

I never benched until a few weeks ago so I had to start benching near nothing. Since then, I've gone from 35 to 53.8 pounds (have two 4.4 pound weights for some reason). How often should I raise the weight and by how much?
User avatar #6612 to #6611 - Kyue (10/22/2012) [-]
Also, what's the best shake for post weight lifting?
User avatar #6616 to #6612 - hybridboxll (10/22/2012) [-]
I like O.N's Whey Protein.
You can probably get away with adding anywhere from 5-15lbs each week; use the maximum possible weight with which you can do the same number of repetitions as last week.

Ripped as in muscular or ripped as in low bodyfat?

Smoking pine needles is a very effective way to relax the body, and prime it for a workout.

Seriously, I never truly knew about this until just recently. I was walking to the gym and I saw a group of people smoking somehting that seemed mishapen. I asked what it was and they all said pine needles. I never noticed them before, but they all have been going to that gym for years. They told me how it helps them to feel calm, cool, and collected before getting an intense workout in. I didn't believe them, but I did some research on it, and it really helps.

Have anyone used Creatine as supplement? I am not sure if im going try it out.
User avatar #6608 to #6603 - hybridboxll (10/22/2012) [-]
I have and I can tell you it works nicely and it's cheap as fuck, go for it :)
User avatar #6609 to #6608 - hybridboxll (10/22/2012) [-]
PS. Don't do the loading phase, just take 5g once a day, every day; I just mix it into my post-workout shake.

Your arms are huge, BUT,
Diet is more important than exercise when considering tone.
Core is THE most important exercise, and from the pic you need to do more. Don't sweat it just put in some 8-minute abs or weighted sit ups, leg lifts with your routine.

How to do squats properly? I've been overdoing them like a retard and my knees hurt as fuck for a while, while my thighs and bum didn't feel strained at all. I think all the pressure and weight went straight onto my knees.

TL;DR how do I do squats without causing harm to my knees?
User avatar #6598 to #6595 - lopaa (10/21/2012) [-]
Try lowing the weight you are using and make sure you are doing a full squat where your legs are going just below parallel like they do in the Olympics and once you have your form build the weight up. this will give the joints in your knees time to build up strength so they are able to support the weight or they will be weak and it will just be bone on bone causing a lot of pain.
#6597 to #6595 - iamphoenix (10/21/2012) [-]
Keep your back straight throughout the movement. Start with the bar on your shoulders and aligned directly over your mid foot. Push your butt out as you lower the weight and keep the bar over your mid foot. Stop when your thighs are parallel to the floor and push up through your heels. Make sure your back is straight and the weight is pushed through the heels, not the toes.

DO YOU EVEN LIFT?
User avatar #6589 - Totaler (10/21/2012) [-]
Ok, I have a question involving knee injuries.

Two separate incidents a few weeks apart caused damage to the IT band ligament and strained one or more of the hamstring muscles in the same knee.

The chiropractor suggested heat on it, and wearing a tensor bandage when I walk a significant amount. Problem I have with this is usually it's fine when walking, but hurts more when sitting, and the tensor bandage hurts like a motherfucker.

Hi FJ , just want to give guys who are new to fitness stuff advice:

The key to a fit body is strict discipline! I have been going to my local gym 3 times per week , doing a 2 h workout and can recommend to you. I startet from 0. After this 3 months I have got a bit of a ripped body. I also do some cardio training. I take a jog 2 times a week(also to reduce belly fat).There are wanna be guys in my school who have been going to the gym for 1 year without progress.You have to be determined! If you see progress your self esteem also will increase , and that means also your ability to talk to girls will improve. Change also your eating habits. Small things help a lot, e.g. drink water instead of soft drinks or juices.

I think the best thing about it is that it increase your self esteem and also helped me as a "socially akward guy".

PIC shows what should not be your attitude.

Hope to help you guys.

He probably means ripped as in very low body fat %. That's easilly done in 3 months; When I cut I lose about 3lbs per week.

At first I read "back scratcher" hahaha.

Your routine looks good, but I think you'd benefit more from a split-routine.
Chest and triceps/back and biceps/shoulders and traps/legs
User avatar #6593 to #6592 - darkthundertwotwo (10/21/2012) [-]
I have been doing this cycle for 6 weeks. I guess i will add 1 week and then I will do a split routine , bench pressing and all that stuff.

I'm 16 yo , living at my moms apartment, she always cooks healthy food, a lot of salat , noodles and meat. Everyday I eat 3 apples and 1 banana and some vegetables. I have not eaten any kind of sweets for 3 years. Before training I usually eat a banana to get carbohydrates. I also don't smoke but drink some alcohol at weekends.

Now here is my traing:
10 min warmup at stationary bicycle
Chest press
This thing https://www.mcfit.com/de/b01.html
(sry don't know english name, I m from Austria)
Butterfly
Butterfly-Reverse
Leg press
Bizeps with guided device
Triceps guided device , where there is a pole attached to a steel rope
Crunches and Situps where I sit on device in 45 ° angle.
Back stretcher.

I jog more then 3 km (~1.86 miles) and try to expand the distance and periods of running. I need to improve my endurance , because I'm a volunteer at my local fire brigade and want to complete a breathing apparatus education to use it in case of emerygency. There you have to pass a physical test. The goal there is to cycle 20 minutes at at least 250 Watts. If you are under 250 , you don't pass it.

Recently started benching and I'd never benched before. I weigh 170 pounds and have been told I need to bench near 255. I have never really been good at push ups or exercises like that, so I had to start benching at 20 pounds. In a bit over a week, I brought it up to 38.8 pounds (U have 4.4 pound weights). How long do you estimate until I can bench the target 255 pounds?

P.S. As a dumb question, is the amount you bench include the bar? If so, I bench 53.8 pounds
#6555 to #6540 - sharing (10/19/2012) [-]
depends what your routine is look up starting strength usually after the first few weeks each week you will increase around 3-6 pounds
User avatar #6548 to #6540 - hybridboxll (10/19/2012) [-]
Who told you you need to bench 255?
That's the standard for someone (your weight) who has been training for at least 3 years.

Yes, the bar counts.

User avatar #6549 to #6548 - hybridboxll (10/19/2012) [-]
And this is the explanation of the columns for those charts:
"- Untrained
An individual who has not trained on the exercises before but can perform them correctly.
- Novice
An individual who has trained regularly for up to several months.
- Intermediate
An individual who has trained regularly for up to a couple years.
- Advanced
An individual who has trained multiple years.
- Elite
An athlete competing in strength sports.
Keep in mind, the standards shown in the tables do not represent the highest level of strength performance possible."

depends how often you do it. If you do it once a week then you should really exercise more often. Or at least make sure you diet is healthy so you dont become obese

ok, so just over a week ago i had surgery on my tail bone, which will take about a month (now 3 weeks) to fully recover from. My problem is that in around a month and a half i have a major international school rugby tournament which i'm playing in and i want to stay fit for it but i cant go on treadmill or my preferred cross trainer. Do you guys know anyway that i can stay a least relatively fit during my recovery that doesn't incorporate to much running?

lie on yor back and raise your legs/lower body and pump your legs, should help strengthen your core and as you progress it'll even help your cardio to a certain extent.
