Help me out Bros

Shades McCool

New member
Ok I have a friend who is being stubborn about working out. All he wants to do is pushups every day and some sit-ups also.

I have tried to tell him he wont really put on any mass and that he would be overtraining. He swears that I am wrong. Lay down the law on this fool in the thread because I am going to direct him to it so he can read for himself!

Please everyone who reads this take time to leave him a little message. BTW he is on muscletech too :)
 
let me guess he thinks you get big o'natural by running and doing push-ups:rolleyes: . Just let him do that for the rest of his life and when he finally approaches the look of a marathon runner as him if that is the body he wants...

some people never learn
 
Here is his response, hook him up please. Yeah they are bigger then me, yet the tell him to do only pushups and pull ups when he wants to put on big mass???

I misunderstood a bit of advice. I'll be doing push-ups twice a week and alternating that with pull-up days. Probably do quite a few crunches too. Two of my pals who are bigger than Shades and who work out more often suggested the MuscleTech combination of Celltech and Nytrotech. I was a bit wary of the stuff, but they suggested it'd be best for putting on some mass. I'm pretty toned, but I weigh a pretty scrawny 120 and I've been stuck there for around three years. I'm hoping to put on at least 10-20 this summer. I welcome any advice (as opposed to shots) that you can offer.
 
if you want to look like a weightlifter and gain muscle then you need to do what a weightlifter does, and that is lift weights.....

Plain old food is the best way to grow, if every idiot who took nitrotech or whatever was huge then ther wouldbe no need for the supplement business to finding new ways to get big.

When it comes down to it gaining weight is a function of math, take in more thean you expel. To gain muscle is a function of intelligence and intensity, lift heavy weight smartly and rest then you will grow
 
another reply from him:

I don't really want to look like a weightlifter. I just want to gain some weight while continuing to look fit. And, what would be a quick meal that you'd suggest?
 
The "BOTTOM LINE" is why do you give a shit if your friend is a 120 pound weakling? You have tried to help him and he won't listen. Let the fool do his pushups......let him be a scrawny punk ass mummy's boy. "Ignorance is bliss" Just laugh at his skinny weak ass when you are a big bad bodybuilder meat head with 20 inch arms.......

:D :D :D :D :D
 
We had another thread about this recently. I'll make the same comment here I made there:

I used to do 300 finger tip pushups every day. I saw some gains, but I didn't remotely get the same kind of gains from pushups that I saw when I started working with free weights.

Pushups are for fighters - not bodybuilders.
 
let me really piss everyone off here....:D

I read an interview quite a while ago where Hershel Walker said that he never lifted weights on a regular basis and that his training consisted of pushups, situps, and sprints....and he was a big strong mofo.....he was capable of benching something like 430 or something.....

but, I'm guessing he had some pretty great genetics.

why bother taking the hard road? I mean, god forbid, if you get too huge, you can always stop lifting....it cracks me up when people say they don't lift because they don't wanna get too big....like it's that fucking easy....you just pick up a barbell, and you are all of a sudden enormous...:rolleyes:

oh, and wtf is he taking creatine for???

he sounds like a real egghead

I know bro, I hate that shit. People ask me fore advise, but then tell me they do not want to be as big as I am, like its that easy. I mean, I was benching 225, and squating 315 my first day inthe gym (I have freaky gentics that they clearly don't). I bust my ass in the gym until I want to vomit. I write down everything I eat, all 7-8 meals a day. I eat every two hours to the minute, hungry or not. Plus I inject myself with something pretty much every day, and they think they are going to accidently get big just by working out hard for a few months. Please! I know guys who would give anything to be big, but after 5 or 6 years of hard training and steroids they barely look like they workout, so what makes these fools think they are going to do have something impressive by simply playing in the gym 4 times a week and eating cherrios for breakfast.

Funniest "gimmic" anybody ever tried in bodybuilding - back in the early '90s there was this guy who billed himself as the bodybuilder who didn't work out. He was gunning for his pro card... but claimed he didn't lift weights at all... never set foot in the gym.

Obviously by the fact that nobody here remembers him - the gimmic didn't work.
 
no one remembers Hershel Walker??? come on bro!


he wasn't a bodybuilder, he was an all pro running back for the cowboys and the eagles....

copied this from an article I found:

"How many of you know who Hershel Walker is? Hershel Walker was a great running back in professional football. He won the Heisman trophy as a junior playing for the University of Georgia and played professionally for the Dallas Cowboys, the Minnesota Vikings, The Philadelphia Eagles and later back to Dallas. Walker was just a tremendous athlete and football player. If you saw him, you would say, “Well of course he is a good football player. Look at him; he is built like a tank. His neck is bigger than my thighs and his thighs are bigger then my entire body.” However, in an interview, Hershel revealed that he does something like 1,500 push-ups, 2,500 sit-ups and 500 dips every night. The man had the body to be a good football player but it was his work ethic that made him a great running back. He is a donut maker. The people I know that are successful exemplify the characteristics of the donut maker: they show up everyday, they go in early, they stay late and they are productive while they are there. "
 
I don't think Sofa was talking about Hershel, but the article doesn't say that he doesn't lift. There is a catch there, like that was what he did as a kid or that is what he does in-season (although most teams would not put up with him missing workouts) or maybe he does that stuff on top of a weightlifting regimen
 
yeah i just found that article real quick for reference.....

but I had read an article a few years ago when Hershel was still playing, where he was talking about how he basically didn't work out with the rest of the team, and how he just did pushups, etc.

but during the strength tests he would put up more weight than a lot of the other players.....yada yada

I just thought it was interesting, I mean, I would never train that way....

I guess I misunderstood your post there Sofa....sorry man!
 
Here is my routine and I became a monster!

Jumping Jacks
1/4 mile brisk walk in the mall
Thigh Master for 20 reps
Toe Touches
Pushups for 20 reps
And one of those belts that shock your belly to give you great abs.


I had to cut back on the jumping jacks though because my legs got way too big.


CMON.............
 
yeah, well if it is true then he is a huge exception. Think about it: if that shit worked then Marines would be like pro bb size

On a scale of genetics he rates a 10. Easy.
