*** The 2012 Gym Rats Thread ***

[semi-pro waster]

Why?

They're thin bars, they're spinlock (which lots of people dislike), the weights are plastic and filled with concrete (or some other form of aggregate) and much more prone to cracking. It depends what you want to do and what you already have access to but unless you've already got a reasonable straight bar (Olympic for preference) and/or dumbbells then it's probably an unnecessary specialisation to go for an E-Z bar.

Fried today.....so very fried! I love it though

 

[Syla5]

love this hahah

sad day for me, missed my session last night due to helping little bro go pick his car up, now got a 200 mile trip to deal with so gonna have to miss my back session this week

I am not a fan of missing sessions, only missed 5 in total since going starting a year ago, but i guess i will use this time to gain some extra rest and just smash it next week

HAHAHAHA! Brilliant SMed...it's so true of most gym goers.

 

[Freefaller]

Surely that's a shop?? LOL!!!!!

 

[SMed]

Yeah, I think it could've been shopped.

 

[SMed]

LOL! Smolov has it's own wiki page.

[Pigeon_Killer]

Why wouldn't it? It's a very popular routine

 

[SMed]

I agree, I just didn't expect it have it's own wiki.

re: Leg pic. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't shopped tbh. I've seen some guys that have arms 3 times as thick as their calves, and nearly twice as thick as their thighs.

 

[Chong Warrior]

I don't think it's shopped, there's a few of those at my gym.

I feel ya br0! I woke up feeling sore n stiff and was tempted to skip a session but then realised I'll have the weekend off anyway so I made myself go.

I'm glad I did. Wasn't anything out of the ordinary but now I am freakin' buzzin

Endorphin rush for the win

Speaking of pics, I know he's not massive but I still chuckled at women gawping over Daniel Craig's physique:

I bet it's not!


I realised yesterday while on the phone to my mum the gym is literally the only thing keeping me going while living here. It's the hour a day that takes my mind off being in a **** hole and relieves all stress.


My diet has really fallen apart this week. Not even hit my macros the past couple of days. Time to turn it up a notch and transition into bulk mode i think. fwuaaaaaaar


speaking of lolzgym, watching this in preparation for leg day!!!!!

 

[GarethSouthgate]

Did I mention that I'm bouncing off the walls?!?!? wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Gonna go and pose in the shower Like a boss!

 

[Ultra_Extreme]

Looks shopped to me by the way it divides so strongly at the panty-line. But with drugs anything is possible

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Weighed myself this morning, now bang on 115kg which is 18st 1lb. Dropped 2lbs in two weeks on 5/3/1 which wasn't the plan but I've now got justification to eat more Easter eggs

 

[Saytan]

learned the hard way what the 6 weeks of lost motivation has done to me today

suspect i will have doms on my doms tomorrow
