[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

I have been lifting like a hobo in the comfort of my own home for the past couple years with some breaks due to back and shoulder problems as well as time issues.

Who does what? What are your plans and weekly regimens like? What supps do you take? Natty? Etc.

 

[Kaiser Wilhelm II.]

i do a 3 day split breast/triceps then shoulder/back then whole day biceps
and try to run(10km) 2 times a week, once a week i have a running group

i dont take supps or eat special because im to lazy for that

 

[grumbleBum]

I do a 3 day full body program at home which is heavy on squats and deadlifts. I took a break for a few years because of babies, now I'm cutting again to get back on form (blergh). I wasn't going to bother working out today because I couldn't be arsed, but then I saw Tammy Slaton's dugong head fat and now I'm all motivated again.

Right now I'm off weights due to my current fitness regiment. I miss it already but I've been lifting for around 15 years now.

I figured I'd poke my head in here so I can be jealous of you guys clanging iron. I'm also happy to discuss debate and chat about lifting.

Now that I'm an old fart, I'll brag when I was 160 lbs my deads were 455 for sets of 5. That's close to competitive level.

Welp, so much for back squats. I tore my meniscus last year and I still can't get a decent range of motion after lifting again for 6 months. I'm about to call it a day, I don't want to load up any more. What's the opinion on split squats and shit like that?

I did split squats once and then I felt like an old man for the next 3 days, I couldn't actually stand up out of a chair without using my arms and I nearly fell over like every 30 minutes.

It felt like it definitely shocked da muscle

 

[Y2K Baby]

I need to vent about this so I might as well do it here. I had a fucking cheap-ass pull-up bar that had to be screwed in absolutely perfectly or else one side would be elevated way more than the other. I didn't realize this until I saw that my left side's arm and pectoral muscles were a lot larger than my right's. Now I have to focus on my right arm's muscles when doing pull-ups (this time at a gym) to get it to catch up but it's so much weaker than the other side that it gets exhausted long before the other one even feels anything so my left isn't really making any progress. Needless to say, it's a massive pain in the ass.

(It's especially sad because my right used to be the stronger one and I definitely have way more coordination with it.)

So much feels.

I fucked up my back, and my right knee going for a PR a while back.

My back is still kind of wonky, but I still can deadlift with caution.

Weights can be addicting.

 

[grumbleBum]

I tried split squats and they hit the muscle all right. I'm dead. Having to launch myself at the toilet and throw myself on it, screaming. Will add to regular rotation

 

[Ntwadumela]

Anybody looking to gain muscle and get a gym membership, it's 100% worth it.
Just stick to a good routine and eat right
It's a lot easier than I thought it would be

 

[GodWarrior]

Remember gang, Rippletits is trying to make you fat, and the SL guy is a memer. Do a PPL with the main Olympic lifts as a base and heavy on isolations. Don't get memed.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

I'm all about focus on the big 3 with some auxiliary lifts and body weight exercises thrown in because I like doing pullups. I do my deadlifts at home though because I feel my most grounded and stable when I'm not wearing shoes.

Post dat routine, brother.

Everyone else in this thread should do the same.

Fuck I feel like an asshole for not replying to this sooner.

Generally I'll do a 3x5 ( or 3x8 or even a 5x5 depending on how I feel that day) 3 times a week and usually focused on the big 3 lifts.

So it usually looks something like

3x5 flat bench or last set until failure
3x5 lat pulldows
3x8 incline bench or Overhead press
5x deadlift with 8-10 shrugs at the top for them THICC traps.
3x5 Squats

And whatever auxillery lifts I feel like doing. So I'll throw in some curls, pullups, lunges and so on.

For flat bench and deads I go as heavy as possible but on squats I take it a little easier since I injured my right knee running a while back and don't want it to fukken explode.

Same.

I just started, actually! I'm a tiny-boned chick, so I'm starting small, but having inched my way into things it's not nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be. Then again, I tend to go when it isn't very crowded, since I have an unusual work + class schedule this semester.
