[Prince Valiant]

good job!

I'm down to 195 on my way to 175...while I enjoyed the strength at 210, I miss the speed and ease on the joints at lower weights...that, and it sucks doing triatholons/duatholons, and other distance events at 195+ for me.

[1967SS396]

I have a membership to motion, I am there 3 times a week,
Should be at 230 some day :)

I'm around that same weight, but I'm 5' 7"... And I hate it... :rolf I'm use to weighing like... 130-140lbs and the extra 15-25 throws me off...

[Anakonda69]

god lord you guys are tiny...lol...i'm 6'1" 285 trying to get down to 265 before my wedding in october but now with the knee injury not sure if that will happen

[Yooformula]

I remember my entire HS and college football days trying to maintain 200lbs now that I am older I WISH I could just get down to 220lb. The more I work out, the heavier I get, where the phuck were these gains when I was younger!! My goal is to get down to 210lb, I was 248lbs end of last year before my surgery and now I am at an almost comfortable 229lbs. I hate getting old......

[Anakonda69]

damn when i graduated i was only like 5'9" 190 didn't get this big till after high school.....yeah football really doesn't allow me to get any lighter....i am definitely carrying my weight better then i did before....i don't mind weighing alot just depends on how it makes you look....and i am in extremely good health.....i didn't have to have any pre op stuff before my surgery....sucks cuz the 7 months it took to build up for football i am now losing it twice as fast since i can't work out....gonna have to hit the gym hard once they release me to work out on my own....

[WilliamZ]

5'11" at 225-230 would like to be at 200.

[hrsp]

yeah i'm only 5'10 (5'11 on a good day) lol

i feel like i'm carrying the extra weight great...i still feel i have plently of explosion and good top speed...and my vertical is still great...
this is the best i've felt physicaly since i was a kid(like 14)

[sacstoy02gt]

Not too long ago I peaked out at 218, now down to 188. Feeling a hell of a lot better. Finally back to where I can hop on the mountain bike and really tear it up like I used to. I sure don't feel like a damn tank anymore. I have rediscovered my ribs as well :)

While back said I'm just going to eat better and work out more. I've gotten into running (I've never been a 'runner' and done some 5k races to push myself), and have ridden my bike enough to find it enjoyable again. Feels great.

[05caddyext]

congrats on your gains, i hope you know though supplements just help you build muscle faster, and better. it doesnt mean you arent natural if you take them.

[dr doom]

curls are made up, don't waste you time, but congrats anyways:thumbsup

i really hope that you arent serious.

[Anakonda69]

when i was lifting....

bench = rep 205 max 300
leg press = rep start at 450 work my way up to 650, never maxed out
sitting curl = start with 90 go to 120, max 150
triceps = max 250

god i wanna be able to work out again

[nismodave]

Congrats on the weight gain man!!!!

You can have some of mine.........Ive lost 15+ lbs in the last 2 months.......Only 35 to go!!!!:chair:

[Anakonda69]

damn 15 and u still wanna lose 35....wow seems like your on the right track though....thats alot of weight

[Karps TA]

I'm like 6' 285ish now. I'd hate to see how pathetic my weight lifting measurables are now.

2 years ago I got heavily into lifting and set all my records. I was around 265-270 in weight. Max bench with 365 where I stopped, that was even with being diagnosed with a torn labrum in my right shoulder. (funny in rehab I was having a hard time holding a soup can for 5 minutes, but able to bench still heavy weights lol)

Curls were 150lbs
triceps were 175lbs
I never really did much leg work, bad right wheel.

I bet max bench for me now would maybe be 250 if I really nutted up. No motivation anymore.

[nismodave]

damn 15 and u still wanna lose 35....wow seems like your on the right track though....thats alot of weight

Yup....By this time next year I want to be back to my HS weight of 185.:thumbsup

You could come over and push mow my lawn if you want. I will provide the gas and the mower. Cheaper than the gym. I can't guarantee you will be able to walk when you are done though.

hey you play rugby to? I'm assuming at that weight your a prop?

[70challenger452]

I wa suprised at the relusts I got from cell mass, within the first week I noticed myslef recovering way faster and being 100% recoverd two days later when I went to do my bench or squat

[HP ADDICT]

When you guys are giving your weights on the tris what are you using/technique? I do alot of seated skull crushers with dumbells and am up to about 100#s. What do you use when you say tris 150#s for example?

[70challenger452]

I personally think that bench and lots of it is the best tricep work out, I don't belive in doing a bunch of little work outs with dumb bells and such, i get the best results from big lifts with lots of weights and lots of sets

[HP ADDICT]

I do alot of bench. I am maxing at about 250 on the bench. Close grip bench hits my tris hard. I am just wondering if thats what you guys are saying when you say "tris 250" or what not.

[Anakonda69]

unfortunately for me thats on a tricep machine...tricep pushdowns that was as high as the machine went....

[05caddyext]

i am talking about a laying down skull crusher with an easy curl bar. i do 4 sets of everything when I am at the gym starting with 12 reps, then 10, then 7-8, and finally 3-4 with heavy weight.

routine -

monday - chest - flat bench, incline bench, decline bench. then dumbbell bench, dumbbell incline, and finally butterfly machine. all 4 sets.

tuesday - biceps - standing big bar curls, sitting easy bar curls, hammer curls, seated incline curls, machine curls, 21 gun salute

wednesday - shoulders - seated military press, shrugs with big bar, standing arnold presses, dumbbell shrugs, british arm raises

thursday - back - bent over rows, dumbbell rows, wide grip machine pulldowns, pullups

friday - triceps - close grip bench, skull crushers, dumbbell raises, machine tricep pulldowns, individual arms, forward and backward grip, dips

saturday - legs - squat, legpress machine, leg extensions, calf raises, hack-squat if I feel like it.

How late is the Y open on Sunday? I can go anytime after 4 if they are still open.

[Silver03SRT]

I could lose about 20lbs and then I would be happy. I'm 6' and 195. I noticed after my girlfriend and I broke up I started to gain weight. I guess I wasnt getting as much exercise.

[hrsp]

no girlfriend = LESS SEXERCISE!!!!!!!!

[H8RADE]

Just retired after 14 years of tight, loose, second...
Kit Bag is still packed in the closet, and could be in the car with a moments notice, which the wyfe hates.
Here's to the hole that never heals...

[70challenger452]

I played loose for my highschool team and then on the wisconsin u19 team I got switched to tight head. It was my first year playing but certainly not my last.
