November [censored] thread

[J.Brown]

Smiley,

still mixing in some biking/elliptical/stairmaster cardio sessions just because i sort of enjoy them (sick i know, but i like the brain clearing, the sweat, the catching up on tv shows on my ipod, and the escape from reality without totally taxation of the body and mind, not to mention burning a few extra cals is good for a dude like me), going to do some 5x5 stuff too and work on all of my weak crossfit stuff. thinking double unders, hspu, all olympic lifts, improve my ohs, knees to elbows, etc. just learn to move better.

bk,
i borrowed a copy of the first edition and have returned it a long time ago after only sort of skimming it. bad J. i know, so not sure if this one is that much different of not, but i am really enjoying/learning a lot of the finer points of movements i thought i "knew" better than i actually do.

i will start my new log on the 4th, which is when my daily logging/competition starts. should be interesting. one guy will dominate the bodyweight exercises, the other guy is bigger and stronger than me on the lifts, i am a blend of both which will probably result in a lot of second places.

should be fun and motivating. later. J.

I weigh 220 at 8-12% BF. What's the minimum time I would need to gain 15 lbs of solid mass? No supps other than creatine and protein.

Also if I'm not putting up 500# DL's fairly easily by the end of the year, I'm gonna be pissed.

Age is a pretty big deal in this equation.

[AZK]

15 lbs of solid mass will take longer than 30 lbs of lbm and fat. If you just eat and sleep a fuckton, and have really intense sessions with relatively little stress in your life, you should be able to gain 30 lbs (15 lbm). If you want to gain 15 lbs clean, it is going to take a long time.

AZK,
Do you really gain 50/50 lbm and fat when bulking? Isn't it more like 70/30 or 80/20 (given that the average human is about 20-30% fat)?

Depends on where you start. You gain more fat the fatter you are. guids and I disagreed on this in a previous thread. I think you were good to go in the 10-14 area or thereabouts... he wanted 2-3% lower.

Whadda you mean, you lose count on high reps? 1,2,3,4,5,6,6,9,7,13...

Sometimes I'll like suddenly realize that I've completely spaced out in the middle of a set and I'm just like still doing reps without counting at all, or that I'm like counting on the up and the down, or some other equally bizarre thing.
