The Workout Thread

Only 5? When I did weights, I used to do 12-20 depending on what it was, and 30 minimum for abs. Why is 5 heavy better than 10 medium?

 

[Jaboldinho]

Less reps with bigger weights - more muscle, more reps with smaller weights - more endurance.

You can worry about getting big like Shaqiri when you start to actually build muscle. That's such a lame excuse.

And yes, heavier weights and sprints. But building muscle is most important as you will burn more calories at rest if you have muscle. Finally, your diet is probably even more important. Cut out as much refined sugar and processed foods. Get plenty of protein.

 

[Mandieta6]

Not interested in changing my diet, or getting big, I just want to tone what I have.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Well then lifting plus whey protein mixed in chocolate milk no more than 30 minutes after. But realize that burning fat is very difficult if you eat like ****. I guess I don't know how you eat.

 

[Waldo1639]

I refuse to change my diet in any way, I'd rather get fat and die.

Diet is 70% of success. It's essential to change it.

huh guys any tips i ve been eating like 10 cups of rice with lots of other foods , chip ,ice creams stuffs like that but i cant seem to get fat i just want to get fat a little than excercise to get a normal BMI

 

[Waldo1639]

How old are you?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

He's 13. Don't worry about it too much right now kid. Do some light lifting under supervision. If you're doing this to get girls, it's not necessary. Become cool, hang out with the popular kids, drink, smoke weed, go to parties. That's how you get girls in high school, not by looking good. Sure that can help, but no one is going to have a killer body, even the athletes. If you are THAT skinny, I'd advise you do to a lot of abdominal exercises to make your ab muscles pop. You can probably fool a lot of people thinking you're in great shape if you get a 6 pack when in reality it should be exceptionally easy if you really have no fat on you.

And if you're doing it for any other reason, it's unlikely that you can do it healthily at your age anyway.

Less reps with bigger weights - more muscle, more reps with smaller weights - more endurance.

If you're going by this method you absolutely need to make sure you have long rest periods between the large weight reps

 

[Jaboldinho]

Lol Shifty, telling the kid that working out too much won't be healthy at his age - drink and smoke weed instead.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I meant that if he wants to look better to get girls, it's much more effective to become cool and popular. Unless he's training for rugby or football what am I gonna tell him at 13 to do to get bigger healthily? When you're 17 you have an idea of what you'll become as a man, but not 13. Just ride it out for a few years and spend that time becoming popular so you can smash teenage girls because you'll regret it if you don't.

 

[Waldo1639]

...plus you cant start working out if you don't have pubic hair.

 

[Jaboldinho]

I know what you meant, just thought it was funny.

 

[Hisashi]

Drink and smoke nah that i will never do man smoking kills same as to drinking drinking is crap man and it taste like crap same as to smoking

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yes the trick is to either not care that it will kill you in 50 years, or not overdo it.

 

[Hisashi]

Oh those situps work and i am also been trying to do push ups ended up doing 10 and than my body gave up

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'm shocked you could do 10 your first time. Just keep doing them and you'll get better.
