missed 2 days now...dam work and meetings =/ will rip it up tmrrow!

Gym was a FUCKING gong show today. Stupid Hong Kong and its mid week holidays! :fuuuuu:

Made the best of it though, had a fucking tremendous workout! Haven't eaten a thing yet, except for aminos. Hit a distance record for my 12 minute HIIT session, and did another 5km steady on top of that. Thanks to KILLING MACHINE~!

i havent had lobster in my hotpot yet here on the mainland
fucking bullshit i tells yeah

i dunno how anyone in china could ever get big off this diet tho, and beer is way to cheap, less than a dollar for 600ml of good beer is criminal.

it's tough enough to eat properly in HK, let alone China. Have lots of hot pot, now that the season is starting. Also in the winter you get a lot of sausages which is awesome. Also, siu mei restaurants should be common. Cutting is even harder, since most of the high protein meals will be very very high on fat too. Great for bulking, not so much for cutting :okay:

i was eating better when i was in harbin, the northerners dont eat alot of carbs, it was alot of meat, and fatty meat and the odd greasy veggies. the sausages in harbin were awesome tho, always kept one or 2 on hand while we were being tourists

gueilin (sp?) and xi'an have been harder to get my protein in tho i think, altho im still maintaining weight which was worried about

but fuck me is there NO gyms anywhere, my first hotel in beijing had one, but other than that its been chin ups in those weird fitness parks and rolling around on the matts with my brothers MMA buddies and thats it

lol yeah, worse than the food is the lack of gym equipment!

BTW while you were in gui lin, did you check out yang shuo? That is legitimately one of my favourite places in the world.

why you in bejing

Today is back day.....looking forward to rackpulls. :fullofwin:

u wanna push ur self? do rackpulls without crash bar :sweetjesus:


stay safe tho. ;)

holychrist...I may try this; thanks, im always up for a challenge. I think I'll cut my weights in half and begin this method.

dropped the EZ bar back onto my legs after doing skullcrushers yesterday and immediately felt something twist on the inside of my shoulder...
now I can't lift my arm up without it hurting...feelsbadman :(

Never realized this thread existed.
Anyways, what a good # of sets and reps for bulking of any parts?

Sigh.

5-8 reps.

Explain. What's a crash bar? Googling doesn't help, just shows a bunch of crashed motorcycles

edit
... nvm, crashbars are the bars on the squat rack. Man I'm a retard.. that's just a regular deadlift without resetting/yates style deadlift, you troll :(

5-8 for bulking , heavier weight tho

meaning your last rep is the LAST rep you can do of the set. the next ones failure

thats the thing. you need to learn your body. doing 5-8 reps of a weight when your body can actually do 10 isnt helping. and your body knows more than you do. so you need to learn what your body can do.

most people (myself included) get stuck on the numbers too much "Im going to do a set of 6". and stop at 6 regardless of whether they can do 7 or 8 or not. that last rep or 2 is where you make gains

That's why I like the method of focusing on total reps instead of reps per set. So if you are thinking "5 sets of 5" instead think of "25 reps total at a weight that I can normally do about 5 reps". If you have to stop at 3 in later sets, it's all good. Just keep going until you hit 25. That way you don't have to artificially lower your weight to be able to get 5 reps in each time.

I want Defranco's new Power DVD, but it would cost $80 with shipping :fuuuuu::fuuuuu:

Learn the weight u can do, take some time on your maxes, I barley do singles maybe on bench to see if I have got a new pr ( over 4 plates hehhheh )
See so many kids doing weight that is so heavy for them and getting 1 rep out.

Off topic some kids well guys are back in the gym they moved back home for summer or some shit. And they all look the same size, they come up to me yo bra WTF you on, uhhhh going to the gym 5 days a week and busting my ass. I dont get how ppl are the same size for 2 years lol

Working out is a lot of doing shit wrong before you get it right. I wish I knew the stuff I know know 6 years ago.
