Seriously, does anybody here lift weights, no matter how much or how little?

What's your current workout? Gains etc.

I'm currently back on with Stronglifts 5x5.

Lol, that fucking funny to read about it here.


I do Lift every day. Actually, I own a supplement shop here in Brazil :)

You want to know everything I do? Well I'm not a Bodybuilder, I'm more like a weight lifter. I workout pretty hard a group of muscles a day.

I'm not familiar with this "Stronglifts 5x5" you are talking about :/ I'll try and check it online latter.

Since I'm in Brazil, the exercises have different names, me and my friends are all working out to get big not fit :)

I do, 5 times a week, a day HIIT cardio and a restday.

Personal records:
- 190 Squat
- 120 Bench
- 240 Deadlift

Allthough i'm currently suffering an hard injury in my shoulder ;\.

Edit; i'm talking in KG's.

Haha. I used to lift shirts, but I've not been for a few years.

   Cool that's a lot. I'm not even close.


How many repetitions are you doing with this records?

I get to
1 exercise
60 bench 15 reps than,
50 bench 12 reps than,
40 bench 10 reps and 5 other specific exercise to the same muscles

1 exercise
120 squat 20 reps than, (I'm already 120 Kg Myself)
100 squat 15 reps than,
80  squat 12 reps than  (non stop) than other specific exercise to the same muscles (all leg and some lower back)

Leg day only finish after we need wheel chairs :)

I don't dead lift anymore, I'm tall and my back doesn't let me do that :(

Do you do leg press?

By 4 months ago I used to lift 280kg there in 15 reps 4x.  
 

WTH that means? LoL

'Shirtlifter' / 'shirtlifting' is a euphemism for a homosexual, but I'm not sure what he means in this context haha.

Personal record, just once (with warming up with less weight offcourse). :).  I don't do leg press anymore since I changed gym.

I thought 'shirt lifting' had to something with shoplifting, and then stealing shirts hehe.

Haha. Sorry yeah I was being derogatory. Not been to the gym in years. I lift my son everyday and he ways a ton. So I'm guessing that's the same as what you guys are doing? Although I don't lift him withy legs. It's never leg day.

I lift 3-4 times a week. Not everyone on here is a nerd.
*EDIT: weird question.

Soon, you'll like this guy:

I'm sexy and I know it!

I started 2 years ago and went form being chubby 25% bodyfat to lean n sexy 10% bodyfat.. just trying to stay lean and ripped so girls approach me. Im tired of approaching girls

I mostly do cardio :P  If lifting were valuable to me, I might opt to lift more, but I don't do much of it outside of exercising so I don't see the point.

**lifts the glock 9 to meat heads face  :-*

Do you even shoot?

Thread has diverged from original topic. Should have realised that this would happen after posting such troll bait lol.

Do you pack fudge?

I don't really keep tabs on what I lift. I usually just put more weight on the bar when there's less resistance, or do pull ups. As you can tell I'm not a gym rat, nor do I care about how much I can lift.

I guess you don't need to be strong to lift a bag of Bitcoins lol. Another win for crypto, add that to the list.

I lift occasionally when I work out, but I am not a bodybuilder myself. I am more focused on not becoming fat, if you get what I mean.

Yeah that makes sense. Lifting weights needn't be just about building strength, conditioning or tearing muscle fibres, but it is definitely an effective means of keeping trim :)

Ain't we all. I'm pretty slim build, but I fear this Pizza and Pepsi diet I've been on for the past ten years might change that at any point. But I walk pretty much everywhere, so I guess I walk most of it off.

Lo, the topic is gone. ;D

Never. Im super thin so i have no reason to  :)

To become not slim? Being 'super slim' is probably the best reason to lift, bro.

yeah I do lift, try to lift more though, cuz I'm not lifting for a few days.
I have my own personal gym at home with enough equipment ;D

that would be implied or everyday depending on the question 

this guy just like me. I'm not a bodybuilder, however I try to get a fairly ripped body and in shape, which means not having fat ;D

Me too. I might buy a rowing machine this week. Need to do some decent cardio, but jogging gives me blisters.


Are you fairly ripped like this?

You own a supplement store in brazil so what's the best starter you will suggest in gaining ???

To not use supliments. Work out and eat decent meals and you'll get all you need.

I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week with 3 of my friends, and they wouldn't go if i weren't always pushing them to come :P

Lol, that's a shame for them. I'm not a big guy, but I enjoy going to the gym, as does my friend who spots for me. Mind, having said that there are people out there who grow muscles as a result from carrying their shopping bags to the door, such is life :P

I used to go to the gym with my friends 2-3 times a week for 5 years, but had to move out and couldn't force myself to go start going alone in another town.
Another thing is that it's hard to find a normal gym these days, one that doesn't look like some hotel spa or something with muzak playing in the background and treadmills full of fat guys.

Yeah i do lift, but not much though :D

Not like I used to.  It is something I really regret not sticking with because I was having good results.  I got the exercise bike and treadmill just collecting dust but I swear that isn't going to be the case as I have promised myself that I'm gonna get rid of all the flubber on me!

Yeah I do, I have to lift my ass off the bed and haul it towards the computer every day, then to the bathroom and back to bed :D

Oh yeah, I lift everything.

I lift books,
Juice boxes,
Sheets,
Clothes,
Computers,
Mice,
Remote Controls,
Pencils,
Papers,
Tests.

And I hope you lift one, too. Or else you've probably haven't been in reality lately.

i try to lift  . i join gym go there for a week then gets bored and leave did this same thing 3 4 times and then i said to my self , now i ll only join and lift wait when i have a friend to go with me , because alone i cant go to gym for more than 4 days -_-

I have started lifting again (too late for summer body) but it's gotten fun and something else to do than schoolwork and frantically watching altcoins rise and fall. :)

I just bought a rowing machine the other day. Had a quick blast on it for five minutes yesterday and woke up this morning with my arse cheeks feeling like they were made out of concrete. I'm in agony haha.

4-5x a week  ;D

I've been thinking about rowing again, but I remember the last time that I wanted to try it and it was bloody hard work. Think that I need to build up gradually.

Rowing works out so many muscles and is very demanding on the cardio side of things. Might be worth lowering the difficulty setting or doing other exercises at first if rowing is making you feel that bad.

I'm too lazy to go to the gym lol.

I bench a couple of times a week, but that's just to max out weight loss when I do my cardio

I'm not a gym rat but I go to the gym twice a week but swim once as well. It's good to keep active more for your health than any aesthetic purposes which is what I think most people tend to go for.

Interesting, what is your body type like? Do you ever change the rep range/configuration of your workout?

My asian girlfriend is on a modified version of Starting Strength (she follows the lifts, but is on a caloric deficit).
she is currently 5'6", 130 lbs
lifts (3x5) are:
Deadlift: 185 lbs
Squat: 165 lbs
OHP: 65 lbs
Bench: 95 lbs


She has lost 100 lbs on a low carb, high fat diet with no exercise just before I met her and since she has started lifting with me now, she looks better.

I used to lift, but not anymore.

i liek doing chin ups every time i walk in my bedroom (i've got a bar there).

Yes. I started about 2 months ago. Lost 60 pounds of fat. Life's been super ever since. With unlimited freetime and no 'job' and lifting 1-2 hours daily, you pack up fast. I love to eat meat too.  ESPECIALLY SASHIMI!!

I lift my brother to the shops and stuff.. does that count?

I'm lifting a veggie pizza slice with my right hand and some lemonade with my left hand.  Damn pizza threads...

I maxed bench at 420 lbs in HS, haven't been in that shape ever since lol.

im lifting 200 kg now, my record is 270 kg in best period of my training

Which exercise? Is that a one rep max?

I'm not very strong, but relative to where I started my gains are pretty good. I need to start on the strength workout to crack on from where I left off. Always felt so satisfied when doing stronglifts.

I gained about 6 kilos in a little over a month by lifting (i was slightly underweight and i am trying to gain about 15 kilos or more).

What's your diet like? Can you see the difference?

I need to get back into Stronglifts 5x5, was making some decent progress with that and eating really well!

Not much different than normal,  just eat much more often. Just regular food (bread, vegetables, eggs, milk, cereals, fruit, etc.) Altough i do try to eat more carbs on days i do train and more proteins on days i do not train. When I want a snack i usually go for nuts or instant noodles with an added egg or fruit.

I usually train one day and than rest the next day rather than train every day. I think that is more efficient as it leaves your muscles time to grow.

I eat whenever i feel like it (5-6 times a day or so usually).

Difference is somewhat noticeable on my arms and chest, not so much on my legs and abs. But i have been mainly focusing on my arms because they are pretty thin (even still, while i have gained several centimeters in diameter extra when unflexed).

Once my arms are a bit more acceptable I will focus more on abs. My legs have always been inappropriately strong compared to the rest of my body so just running every now and than should be enough to keep up for now.

For me it's hard too to gain some centimeters at my arms. Im not sure what to do about it now.. I might need to train them less as you definately can overtrain them. Possible just 2 exercises biceps / triceps instead of 4 per training.

For me it has Always been easy to gain on my chest and back. Now, as the summer is coming (;P), I'm going to focus more on the abs. Haven't trained them specifically for a few months now, so I really have to. I also increased my cardio to 3 times a week HIIT. Going for a lower bodyfat percentage now, hoping to see my lower abs some day.

My schedule for my arms is this:

Monday Dumbell Curls 12-15 reps 5 sets (most heavy weight i can do 15 reps with, increase weight the next time if i can pull off a full 5 sets of 15 reps) Do not change the weight in between sets, keep the same weight all the time

tricep extensions 8 reps 3 sets (much less than the biceps because i also do pushups and benchpress etc. which also work out triceps)

Shoulders (side) 8 reps 3 sets

Wednesday

Use heavier weights so that you are only physically capable of doing 5-8 reps but do 5 sets with the same weight (for triceps also 8 reps/5sets on wednesdays). This should probably be about 1 to 3 kilos more than you can do on monday/fridays. Try to make a full 5 sets of 8 reps with the same weight, you should be pretty much exhausted at the final set.

Friday same as monday


hope this helps.
