REST DAY? WUZ THAT :badpokerface:

You gotta relax dude. I've only been doing the regular gym thing for a few months. I'm trying to do things properly? And learn as much as I can from experienced guys like yourself. Last thing I want to do is injure myself or fuck up or whatever.

Don't like me asking questions? Then don't answer them with smart ass remarks

hey, what brand jeans do you guys with huge legs wear? I'm almost at the point where my legs are too big for my jeans, and I've gone through several this past year.

Are we men with huge legs not meant to wear jeans? :okay:

LOL I actually don't have any jeans just shorts and tailored dress pants

I think you'd receive a better answer if you phrased your question clearer, are you asking about training frequency?

recovery varies from person . I hate taking days off but if I'm really sore or workouts are sucking I will just eat and rest all day. There is no point and doing a shitty work out if u r feeling shitty you will gain more by resting

This is only because they don't make jeans for his 6'7" frame. They all turn to shorts :p

That is very true jeans might fit but virtually impossible to find 36 length

Topics regarding DOMS and soreness are highly debatable, because there really hasn't been enough scientific research done on it to give a definitive answer. Even if there is, they're likely not generalizable to all lifters, athletes, etc etc.

On a personal level, feeling post-workout muscle soreness DOMS, usually comes from one or a combination of the following:

a)i haven't trained that bodypart/movement for a while
b)i've been working within rep schemes that would cause a ton of muscle breakdown and production of lactic acid
c)i'm not resting enough in b/w sets

That being said, some sort of soreness is unavoidable, but it isn't WRONG to go from workout to workout without being sore.

Soreness isn't necessarily an indication of progress if that was what you were wondering. There are many other ways to keep track of lifting progress, which should be synonymous with your goals. ie. if your goal is to get stronger - lifting heavier weights. if your goal is to get leaner - losing bodyfat.

What does become a problem though, is when you start feeling joint/tendon/sharp nerve pain, which usually indicates more or less that you aren't lifting weights properly, and to make up for lack of proper muscle recruitment, you're using other parts of your body that SHOULDN'T be doing the work.

Again, soreness is still very much in the "grey area" of things, and so everything I've said up to this point is speculative. This is based on what i've experienced and seen, so call it broscience if you will

sorry for the longwinded post, just wanted to clear the air and get it off my chest.

to be fair, this thread moves


and it moves fast


and so its not surprising to see all the gem posts get buried by the retarded ones (i won't say which ones :troll:)

sorry no denim for you

That moment when you run out of protein powder and can't workout :fuuuuu:

that is literally the most retarded thing i have ever heard, unless you're being facetious

Back in the gym after a month plus layoff. Started with a deadlift workout from 531. I straight up just forgot to try for extra reps on the last set of 5. Gym had a trap deadlift bar so I decided to do my BBB assistance work with it. It really is an interesting movement. Pretty sure I won't be able to move tomorrow morning or the next week but damn it feels good to be back

lol

Finally tried a Quest bar for the first time. Man they taste aesthetic.

Dat fibre content is half of my daily requirement :pokerface:

that moment when you find out OP is a phaggot

1 week out.. another week to recover. this temptation is killing me..

Dang my supps arrived faster than I thought. BB.com new 2x faster is legit my friend said it usually takes him over 2 weeks to receive his stuff. I ordered my stuff Friday at 11pm and it arrive last night at 9:30.
