Chicas - some thoughts.....

[The Shadow]

....if your training and diet are really on target...it should not take a month to see results....especially as you get leaner and leaner....you should actually see progress literally every day.


Whether you are bulking or cutting - lift heavy - that extra 10 pounds of muscle you build or preserve will allow you to burn an extra 350-500 calories PER DAY....doesn't sound like much?? 300 extra calories burned on a maintenance diet with ZERO cardio will be a net loss of 30 POUNDS IN A YEAR...think about that.

Hey babe!!

Hubba hubba on the pic from the chin bar - makes me all tingly and stuff

I love my power rack.

Nice rack is right

 

[The Shadow]

lololol

 

[The Shadow]

my 2 cc's.....a good diet and cardio/training program can cut at least 1% bodyfat per week - over 12 weeks that is a tremendous transformation....

 

[The Shadow]

Yep.

 

[The Shadow]

Hehehehe...I consider my tris to be very weak....

I'll do you a quick-fix tri program if you talk like Smurfette....

Strong and good looking don't really have much in common.

Yeah...I'm strong.....hey, wait a minute??!

 

[The Shadow]

Strong and good looking don't really have much in common.

Was that a shot at me - I think so.......

 

[TheProject]

Was that a shot at me - I think so.......

nah, it's all in your head.

 

[The Shadow]

ok - the other voices were distracting me.....



I'm strong TOO ya know.

 

[The Shadow]

Well in that case......

*blushes*

I meant weak in terms of size...lol - always a bb'er approach.

 

[The Shadow]

Dark side - lol


Never trained with strength specifically in mind. I've hit a 435 and 315 for 13 on bench, 455 for 5 on squat....what would be a good close bench number?

 

[The Shadow]

The 435 was at 218 or so......the 315 for reps was about 210

 

[Sassy69]

My, what big ...


numbers ...



you have Corni

 

[The Shadow]

For you Sassy.....

Corn, you would likely be in the 220 pound weight class, and the total to reach Elite (Squat/Bnech/Dead) is 1824 pounds.

Make sure he understands and accounts for a “gym bench 1RM” and an official pause and press 1rm in competition..HUGE difference. Could be up to 10% less at that weight.
But I have a hunch he knows.

Well, when you consider the travel, making weight, lifting without the 'home field advantage', the fact that you are lifting against other people, delays between attempts that you have to compensate for, to say nothing of what can happen when you travel, especially overseas, there is a world of difference between contest lifts and gym lifts.

And the world is not very nice.

 

[The Shadow]

Those weight were with a 2 second pause butt on bench and NO lifting gear.

Cornholio, I think its much tougher for women to see quick results. They don't have anywhere near the testosterone levels floating around in them that guys do. So they don't pack on the muscle or lose fat anywhere near as quick as us guys. Unless they are juicing that is.
