I just started lifting. Feels bad when comparing myself to other people at the Oval but when I track my gains I know I'm doing okay for myself :concentrate:

don't compare yourself to what someone else can do, compare yourself to yourself

Treating them like any other muscle group is one thing. Treating them like the MAIN muscle group (or in some cases ONLY) is when it gets :lawl:

everybody was once noob, dw too much about it
think ahead and what you could achieve if you kept consistent; purge all of the demotivating thoughts
the right mentality could take you far

I just felt the overall sentiment in this thread was that compounds would be enough for Biceps training

But it looks like almost all train it - Just wanted to clarify that.

Edit: Like Skinny said, Bicep training is done, but relatively a small factor in the overall exercise regiment.

My goals are different from most people here though, I think. If you want to be a big shredded ripped cunt, then you need to work out more like Halo

cool tats skinny

srs

he should've saw you a year ago.



anyways, did some chest and turkish get ups today.

incline DB press. 80 lbs*12. 90*10, 100*6
close grip bench with a sling/resistance bands. 135* 12 155*12 175*10
flat bench negative presses. 135*5 seconds*10, and 155 same thing for two
pulley flies from the bottom position. 3 drop sets.
ended it off with a push up pyramid and turkish get ups with a 45 lber.

sitting at 178lbs and 6ft tall. around 11~% BF (estimated)

+1 for heart. Hope this guy didn't give up after.

His youtube, http://youtube.com/yocard

He DLs more than me lol.

My PR is 405, but I haven't done that in a couple of years. My longest death set was last year with 2 plates at 70 reps, starting to slow at the end but never releasing my hands. Not as fast as I did today but yeah.

I need to get a trap bar, those things are fun you can deadlift whatever you want without much fear of injuring yourself. I've only used them a couple of times.

225x100?

:troll:

I was seriuosly hoping the mom would grab the bar with her hands and rack it with no problems lol

you are setting yourself up for injury snap city style

:heckno:

If you want to do high rep DLs, do single leg

how often do you guys train legs?

Every time

srs? legs need more time to recover though

once in a while if I have time after traps


once every 4 days. I have 1 day dedicated to mostly quads and the other leg day for hams and calves. It might sound stupid, but if I did all 3 in a day I would be at the gym for 4 hours.

No, not really. No more than any other muscle.

maybe you show me next time we're at the gym together. I gotta be doing something wrong because my incline is increasing way faster than flat which has basically stagnated


also skinny dunno if its just the pic or what but good progress dude, you were skinny fat with no arms just a couple months ago :p

Just stepped on the scale, and it read 170 lb. :fuckyea: not sure how much of it is actual lean muscle, but its a 3 lb gain

i do heavy leg days Tuesday and volume Friday

yeah I know what you mean, the leg is really divided up for you to be doing all at once.. Personally I like to dedicate an entire day to legs though just cus I get pretty exhausted with upper body stuff on the other days

Yeah sure. I'm the opposite. Since coming back from my shoulder injury I can barely push a plate on incline.

Can't wait to get back into the gym tomorrow!

Was in Portland for a couple of days. But picked up this bad boy while I was down there :fuckyea:
