A simple, yet plausible question for the_reverend.[views:16480][posts:113]___________________________________________ [Jun 22,2012 11:52am - largefreakatzero ""] RustyPS said: largefreakatzero said:Finally, if you're going to Planet Fitness, stop immediately and go find another gym. I go to Planet Fitness now, but I'm going strictly lose weight, not to bulk up. Plus, it's cheap, so yea. Yes, and I'm sure their free pizza days are really helping that weight loss. PF is a joke regardless of your goals. The entire franchise offends me. |

PF is a joke regardless of your goals. The entire franchise offends me. 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. |

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. the only day I can 100% go is Tuesday. One other days of the week is usually possible. 3 days in a week would almost never happen. |

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. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 12:02pm - largefreakatzero ""] 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. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 12:22pm - CurlyRed ""] I would never go without a spotter on a bench press considering I have pinned myself before lol. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 12:22pm - yummy ""] 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. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 12:36pm - Alx_Casket ""] While I agree with the above statement, I wouldn't want to be doing situps in a vat of cat piss (rev's house) |
| _________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 12:40pm - xmikex ""] 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. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 12:45pm - CurlyRed ""] burpees are miserable. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 12:59pm - posbleak ""] 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. |

| ________________________________ [Jun 25,2012 3:23pm - xmikex ""] 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?!' |
