the official what (not) to do thread!

Priorities and motivation should be on this list.
"I don't have time to go to the gym"
"I don't have time to eat right"

Crap like this doesn't hold water, especially around here. If you REALLY want it, you'll do it. If it means watching less tv or less PS2 every night, then that's what you have to do.

Size and strength take a lot of work. If you can't stay focused on it, you might want to consider taking up needlepoint instead.
 
Your shoulders like to butt in and help you out with a lot of your lifts. Avoid this by Concentrating on form and work out whatever muscle you are there to work out, don't let any other muscles get in the mix.

I worked my chest for months without any progress until some one showed me that I had been lifting with my delts the whole time instead of using my pecks.
 
- diet is the key, eat ALOT of quality food
- dont overtrain, sometimes less is more.
- stick to basic heavy movements, all to often i see guys just starting out doing tricep kickbacks or something when they should be doing close-grips.
-SQUATS
-DEADLIFTS
-give ample time for recovery, personally i dont like going more than 2 days in a row.
-oh yeah, EAT
 
bulking up on a see food diet makes you fat

be patient

form is very important-learned the hard way with a painful back injury a few years ago

Consistency ,with diet,training and rest,if all three arent there good fucking luck getting anywhere
 
Stretch before heavy compound lifts. I found that not stretching before heavy lifts really stiffened me up during the first 1-2 sets. Its probably not on everyones priority lists but I find it useful.

For any athletes...
20 rep squats are great for gaining mass...In fact going to the gym and gaining strength is great. But whatever you do, especially you bigger boys...u gotta do some running/agilities/skill specific skills etc...I did 20 rep squats till i did 350X20 and then came back and blew my knee out. Keep ligament and tendon strength in mind as well as muscle imbalances....hamstring/quad...

350x20?? That for real bro? If so, mad props.............I'd love to be a witness to that........
 
I thought i was gonna die...damnit i was only 18 too!!! fuck! The time is slipping away!!!!!i am 21 now...squatting 530 ... so i guess i am recovered and all. I try not to think about how things could have been. I just think of it as another year of developing while football went by. I lost a whole season. But then i came here while recovering so i guess all is even in the end.
 
Save bis and tris and shoulders for the end of the week. Hit chest, back, and legs in the beginning of the week.

WARM UP ON BENCH. DONT TRY TO START HEAVY.

Please start light enough so you can move the weight up between sets more than 10lbs. Hopefully, you can move up at least 20lbs between sets on everything except dumbells (10-15lbs each time)

corey
