thread of getting sw0le

lagoon otm

u guise im eating so mucf

Yeah man, it makes you hungry. Still haven’t quite found the right balance between adequate protein/calories for strength gains and not growing my belly.

i find myself hungriest on heavy deadlift days. like yesterday at work i was seriously considering eating the tums from my desk drawer, on some ate-all-the-tarragon-drank-all-the-soy-sauce shit

i basically had to stop lifting cause it made me insanely fat, but i lost the weight and im back baby lol

i did some cleans after getting stoked on those oly lifting videos, felt like a total spazz cld see getting into the form tho theres a lot going on there very diff from power lifts

I'm usually fine for most of the day, everything measured out like "Ok, here's my 3 eggs with veggies for breakfast, here's my mid-morning protein bar, here's my grilled chicken lunch, here's my afternoon protein drink and fruit, here's my sensible dinner," but then around 10pm I'm just like "UNNNNGH ALL THE CALORIES" and wind up making myself a ridiculous shake and then still being hungry and eating another meal.

lol just gotta go to bed at 9 i guess

hey sw0lies I’m lifting 3x a week and it feels gret

I’m currently protein shaking after each workout but should I be doing it every day?

it doesnt matter nothing matters, just lifting is fine tho

i did more cleans what a weird lift like i was just going along doopie doopie doop cleaning that bar up there when i totally just bonked but like i cldnt feel that i bonked there wasnt that usual muscle fatigue but i just cldnt get the bar up, i need to work on getting low thats tough wld be cool to do an olympic clean thats where the real action is

just after lifting is fine

also just lifting is fine

you should just figure out how much protein you need per day and if shakes help you get there that's fine. Some say eat more protein on the days you lift than the days you don't. Doubt it makes a massive difference as long as you're overall eating enough protein.

yeah all of a sudden you just ... can't

doopie doopie doop

the obsession with consuming mass amounts of protein is kinda goofy ppl get all fucked up over their diets, indulge in wild bro science, doin a lil bit of lifting really doesnt require super special feeding

a strong one

There's a rings dude at my gym, also walks on his hands and stuff like that. Sometimes I'm jelly, seems like a cooler kind of strength than just lifting in a way.

ts: the "functional strength" of being able to hoist heavy shit over my head in my office job vs the "functional strength" of being able to hoist myself up on/over things in my office job.

ha true

I helped a guy move some furniture the other day and it wasn't hard at all, while he was complaining about his back. That was cool I guess.

I just learned what the word swole means.

it means yoked

fyi

Hmmm, I think I am hard now and pre-Trump and the ensuing drinking lots wtf'ness, I was almost ripped. When I am actively lifting I do 2 protein shakes and 4 eggs a day. I don't do it for building but more for cutting weight since I also switch to mostly veggies, quinoa and fish. I have a concept2 rower in front of my tv and try to get in 40k a week. I used to do a lot of boot camp and kickboxing types of workouts and always use handweights/dumbbells, 10-30 pounds for boot camp and 8 pounds for shadowboxing/plyo. My partner and I moved our house 3 years ago, by ourselves with stairs, and most of the issues weren't from the weight but from my height and having to lift furniture repeatedly above my mass (I'm 5'5"). I really, really need to get back into shape.

I had a goal a while ago about just being able to do one mfing pull-up. It's a wall for me.

Yeah I’m probabky hard, borderline full House even.

I was on a whole nihilist wheel of cheese and bottle of wine a day diet after nov 2016. It really caught up with me.

i'm sliced or shredded at all times

of course yer sliced, caek

Ha weird method of categorizing

Ripped yo!

half cut

a perfect sentence

Ya some of that stuff doesn’t even make sense

In other news, jogged up a mountain today :-)

i have to admit running/jogging makes me feel better/good inside

While sw0ling it makes me feel good on the outside

Don’t forget to give some love to yr lungs and heart fellas <3

Current program I'm supposed to incorporate a light cardio day (20-30 min jog or something along those lines) and try to do a lot of walking. Agree I feel best when I do some of both, I like the confidence boost from lifting and the stress relief from cardio.

I actually felt way better and possibly looked way better and definitely weighed way less when I ran and biked more. If I still worked in SF I would do latter but ultimately have found that running is a very hard habit to get back into when you stop for any period of time (possibly because everything hurts a lot when you are old and heavy). Lifting on the other is just fun and it’s easy especially at beginning to get into a “fuck yeah I just lifted that” mode which feels great.

I hate running. I gave up my gym membership once I got my rower. I kind of miss plyo/boot camp classes but having a rower in front of the tv is the best motivator. I sometimes bust out a 10k because I want to finish my program.

People lift without doing any cardio?!?!?

well any cardio is good for you

and most sw0le bros i know do not do cardio

maybe jump rope here and there

actually the most shredded bros i've known run like 2 km once a month or so

That's crazy. I can't imagine not doing at least 10 minutes of cardio before lifting. My brother was pretty sw0le but he also had a heart attack (he's alive) at 38 (I think he was doing steroids though or way too many supplements/protein powder). He was also a cop and I can't even visualize him running for more than 2 minutes.

I am now reading up on all this no cardio thing.

a lot of lifters like to push the sled

heart problems are common among lifters

i had some heart problems but decided to stop using protein powder and just eat natural and healthy and my heart feels fine now

i can eat a lot of junk food in one sitting and i don't feel full or get fat, granted i continue my exercise routine, but my heart definitely feels it (cholesterol/blood pressure/etc). that's when i know i have to eat cleaner for a while or do cardio -- cardio helps the most for me

w/r/t roids, maybe three years ago in this thread i posted about my little 17 year old cousin who got testicular cancer bc he was taking them. froze his sperm bc he can't have kids anymore

I just ate 1.5 medium pizzas. I am going to be burping on the erg in a second.

i'm a no cardio bro, mainly to save time at the gym. i do about 10 mins warmup stretches tho.

i justify it by telling myself i don't have a car, so i walk everywhere..? kinda lame tho

there is a thing about the intensity of the lifts working your system similarly to HIIT but that's always seemed a leeeetle bit sophistic tbh

I love HIIT workouts. It's like the Kimmy Schmidt show where she says "you can stand anything for 10 seconds" (or insert whatever amount of time for the workout.

When I had to go to physical therapy for my knees it was mandatory that I do 10 minutes of cardio before I started the muscle exercises. I stuck with that.

i am a big dude and all my joints are fucked from years of jiu jitsu so i try not to run too much but i get on the elliptical for 20-30 minutes every lifting day. i crank the resistance to the max and try and keep my heart rate (per the weird hand monitor things) in the 130s for that time. i know there are more effective things (the rower, the bike, etc) but that's about as much cardio effort as i am willing to put in.

had to bail on a squat today for the first time. i set a PR and then got greedy and added 10 more pounds. got halfway up and nope. went back down, rested the bar on the safeties and ducked out. felt like a total dork but nothing ventured nothing gained right.
