GH Swolenation

[Fiery]

I'm always surprised when I find out that people on forums, work out and stuff like that. I'm about 190 cm, and ~105 kg. im personally quite strongly built, bone wise. im not denying that I have excess body fat. So for me I mostly want to cut. I'm going about it by eating enough to not gain weight when I Dont work out, and eating the same amount so I lose weight, when I work out. but I sometimes find it hard to have either energy or motivation as I often dont feel like doing anything after work or school. I do my best, I just wish I had a gym buddy. The guy I used to work out with was great. and during the time when we worked out together I lost like 2+ kg in a week. But I also had time for it as it was summerbreak at the time. I'll end this by saying that I dont lift for numbers, I prefer freeweights and do alot off accesorry building I would say. also I'm glad I found this thread, motivated me so im doing back after school today!

If you lived local I would be your gym buddy .. lol.

I'm in the same boat as you on lifting. I don't focus on a number as much as being able to do a full range of motion correctly.

As for me, I know I would be well past my goal weight I f 200 if I wasn't such a picky eater. I don't eat a ton and watch the quantity every meal, but the food I eat is not that great for you

im so the same when it comes to food aswell, and im all about form when it comes to lifting. I don't want to injure myself. and I would be yours

Ya know, I was having a hard time carrying a semi-full grocery bag the other day. Maybe I need to combine my chipotle diet with some cardio/lifting for max results 

Come with me, where you will learn how to carry ALL of the grocery bags in one hand.

I'd just probably put any bags I was carrying on your arm

This is the oddest way of hitting on somebody. I hope you succeed so you can teach me.

Gonna start a cycling work out so I can have the legs of a Greek god.

I'm telling you, AT ONE TIME, AT ONE TIME, he was natty.  But surely not any time recently.   He looks like that guy who injected synthol into his arms

[HoffmanMyster]

I watched half of that video and felt like I was out of the loop on what must have been 50 inside jokes.  And I still don't know if he was joking or not.

Hahah Triz: he hasn't been natty since he was a tween!

Hoffmane: he's 100% not joking. He's putting out a video every day right now. The one I posted is a guy that's making parodies of everything he releases lol

Rich Piana is his name if you didn't know. I've been following him for a few years now.. I feel like a chick watching real housewives. The train he's on is gonna wreck at some point and I just wanna see it happen. Completely insane

[digi]

synthol for the bros & silicon for the hoez...

But- so that means that the video I watched is a joke, right?    I only watched the video you posted here, nothing else.

All the weird cuts/edits and fast-motion craziness led me to believe (hope) that it was a parody, but I feel like you never know with these guys haha.

Lmao yes the I posted is for sure a joke. But he's legit like a caricature of himself. Go watch his actual videos if you got half a day to spare

So has anyone started their cuts for summer?

I started cutting a few weeks back and I am hoping to get down to 7% bf before March 12th.

Everything is looking good and I have still maintained a good amount of strength.

Bump!  How we all doing?  I'm still not going the swole route, but I did just join a gym to be able to get more active in these winter/colder months.  Feels good already.

So I had some time and excess energy and hit some arms and shoulders yesterday, wasn't too bad but not quite as heavy as I normally do. gonna hit legs tomorrow 

[theoriginal123123]

Yeah gyms here are insanely expensive (or the ones that aren't only have cardio machines), so I can't really bring myself to bite that bullet so I just do bodyweight, been using rings for a bit now. Too bad it kinda  sucks for legs, so at some point I'll just have to do it so that I can hit those squatz and deadlifts.

Also training for L-sit as well! Handstands to come at some point too.

Make sure you have the proper technique before you stat doing barbell stuff, if not you'll feel it as soon as you start to lift heavier.

Definitely! I've picked a copy of Starting Strength recently, and I'll be going through that, trying to internalise the cues for proper form.

[Diokhan]

Started boxing few months ago..
Stopped with lifting weights for a while to put more time in boxing..
Lost some weight but my lifting suffered hard.

Got back to 5x5 stronglifts 2 weeks ago.
Back to 80kg bench, 100kg squats, 120kg deadlift, 69kg OHP and 80kg rows.
But I might be pushing myself too hard to get back.

That book is awesome! Check out alan thrall on YT aswell, and watch or post videos of yourself lifting, so you can get help with your form!

Oh yeah I've seen Alan Thrall, dude's amazing! I'll be sure to post some form checks when I get to it!

I will be focusing more on bodyweight personally, and will also start doing lower weights and more reps. I don't chase numbers, and want to build a more functional body. So for me focusing on core strength and being able to body weight excercise more easily is a goal as of now. I am 190cm~ and 105+kg atm so I will be cutting properly after easter break (going to Scotland to see my bestfriend so gonna let loose a little) and do more cardio. Atleast that's my plan going forward 

[tigersharkdude]

Current weight = 211

Starting weight = ~320 (NOT what is in this pic, I started in December 2012)

[Dernubenfrieken]

Anybody else failing miserably at cutting for the summer? At least I got time...
