So i havent posted here in a while. Im currently working up north for the summer, 2 weeks on and 1 week off back home. I've been working out for just under a year now. Im 5'5 was 205 before I started last July (225 before that) super fat boy, lol. Less than a year later, and lot of hard work I'm down to 155 ish (153-157 depends on the time lol). Gotten pretty big too. My working sets (8-12 reps) are: Bench 225, Squat 365, DL 225 :okay: .. So now heres my problem. Now that I'm back to work, I got sent to a different campsite, and the equipment here is very very minimal. All we have now are dumbells, lat pulldown machine, bench machine (useless) and legcurl/ extention machines. I need to learn new work outs with these equipment more specifically, for legs and tris. Its been a complete change of lifestyle for me and I absoloutely love it, just wanna be able to continue while im up here. Got pretty bummed when I saw what I had to work with lol. So any tips would help thanks.

Eat less.
Lift more.
Do sprints.
Backload carbs. I don't know where you heard that no eating carbs after 3pm, but it's nonsense.

You can also try intermittent fasting.

Try unilateral exercises like one legged squats and deadlifts with dumbbells.

You can also do things like turkish getups, kettlebell workouts and bodyweight stuff (see convict conditioning).

How is the bench machine useless, is it broken? But yeah, do the free weights with dumb bells and body exercises. Bring some resistance bands, etc.
Can you install a chin up bar in your doorway?

If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing up North?

do not know this feel

Anyone ever trained in high altitudes?

Do not know that feel because i dont use machines :fullofwin:

I've never thought about bulking up just about cutting down. But thinking about it it never seemed to worked so bulking up time it is. ty for the tip. btw isn't eating healthier easier in japan?

wtf the grip on the heavy dbells at SC is so fucking fat could barely grip it.. pealed callouses off my hand

you know what they say about strykn's with small hands. makes the dumbells look big

The fat handles improve you grip. No broscience

yo wtf was that u at sc earlier? i thought u went to ymca. the whole time i was thinking...is that strykn lol

nice bb.com has canadian store now

u look so skinny compared to ur pics ahhaha thought it was u.. for a sec :fullofwin: ya got SC membership

im cutting :okay: just got back from vacation 3 weeks ago so i'm still getting back into the groove. i was mirin' ur 5/6? plate rack pulls.

Not necessarily. Japanese food is very heavy on carbs and oil, and light on protein and vegetables. Traditional stuff is good (but still light on protein) but most people are age aren't eating traditional food.

Japanese people aren't very healthy generally. Their smoking rate is very high, they drink a lot, stay up late, get little sleep, eat mostly junk food... You'll be adopting some of those habits when you go there (hopefully not the smoking part, that is just retarded)

does this mean you can get stores like popeyes and xfuel to price match now? their excuse before was that bb.com was american so they didn't price match

hes also going to osaka. EVERYTHING in osaka is fucking delicious. horumon, takoyaki, okonomiyaki :megusta: id hate to be watching my diet while in japan.

i don't know time to check :troll:

damn. Well that settles it then. eat all the foods!!

Yup I was there for just 2 weeks on a rather limited budget, and still gained at least 3-5 lbs of fat.

Eventually I gave up on trying to have a budget - it's impossible to eat healthy on a budget if you are eating out all the time.

One tip - yakiniku is your friend (korean bbq) and shabu shabu (hot pot). Lots of reasonably priced AYCE makes it easy to load up on protein, and they usually come with a salad bar to load up on veggies.

Horumon = :sweetjesus:

the Canadian store sucks,and body building.com sucks now
they cant ship shit all now,

yea man fucking hurt...gg

waiting for free shipping promo
