Anyone on here lift?

[shootermcgavin]

Just curious, but are there any lifters on the forum? I've noticed nobody on here mentions the staggering number of babes in the gym these days. Nothing like working behind a honey doing deads or squats. Not to mention the fact that it's probably the second best feeling in the world (sex being number 1) hitting a PR.

Haha yes indeed, regardless of the gym and the location, there's always a hottie that makes you lifet beyond your capability. But so far Fitness First got the most, followed by Fit n fast five dock, loved that place when I lived close by.

Can always squeeze out a few more reps or lift a bit heavier if there is a hottie around. Love the girls who squat regularly too. Something about a woman with a strong physique and a nice plump squat bum makes me weak at the knees.

I've noticed there are a lot more women doing pelvic thrusts these days too, presumably to keep nice and tight. I'm.....not complaining.....

[CunningLinguist]

Hey guys I don't think hot chicks notice when you do an extra rep or two ...

Haha most likely, but seeing a hottie with those tight yoga pants squatting or walking close to you, brings the animal in me which makes me lift more.

There is nothing more sexy than a woman that likes to look after herself, without being shallow or anything like that, but it takes commitment to go to they gym

[13ru]

Yes i do. One of my favourite things is seeing a pretty lady with thick legs/ass squat x2 her body weight.

[jeter]

Personally membership is too expensive for me and don't have a car to get there as no gyms near me. :cry:

Amen to that! I'm digging how women these days are getting more involved in strength training rather than the traditional cardio/yoga scene. Nothing wrong with those programs, but a woman who can throw some weight around is awesome.

I've heard Crunch is pretty cheap, roughly $8 a week. Less if you pay for a year up front. Haven't personally signed up but I've had a few sessions in their CBD location recently and it's decent.

No car = cardio + warm up before you even set foot in the door. Awesome.

If you would have said this I would agree more:)

Fucking hell, those are monstrous numbers! Respect.

Lol yeah punting after the gym, especially after pre-workout, is always dicey. RnT usually hits the spot though.

[Mr Bastard]

Shoplift?...............

[rooter]

I don't know what the inside of a gym looks like.
The only thing I lift is a glass of beer.
And my cardio is a walk to the bottle shop.

[shootermcgavin]

*sigh*, this guy.......

Sate my curiosity though Mr B, are you a Young Ones fan?

Still counts, especially if the beer is a longneck.

I lift 60kg! (on a smith machine lol) normally 30kg., for squat...

I'd like to join Virgin active... @zetland but too far from my place :( and it's not 24hours

[wilisno]

Shoplift?...............

Maybe carpooling ? ;) ;) ;)

[Shoryureppa]

I lift and will keep being active till I die.

Don't want to have a frail body when I am older.

60kg is good considering that would be heavier than your bodyweight! Smith machine takes a bit of the load sure, but it also forces pretty strict form.

^ This x 1000. I'm already looking into TRT for the future once my test drops off. No reason we can't be strong and fit later into life. I think it's especially pertinent with the way our society is going. I read an article recently about how men currently have the weakest grip strength out of all generations. Think about your grand-dads handshake and I bet 9 times out of 10 it was like steel.

What time you want me to pick you up bro? You can have shotgun and control the music.

[CunningLinguist]

Just last Saturday I lifted my Thai Beef Salad waitress onto the massage table!

[Mr Bastard]

Back in the day, yes...........also Bottom, yet I have not thought of either for probably more than ten to fifteen yrs until you opened the topic........

Hope this helps your Phsyc Evaluation of me............

Ahh the laughs

I try and do 2 days a week strength/conditioning and 3-4 grappling/mma

[poundher]

If you are looking to make strength and size gains the 5x5 workout is for you.
Cheers

[woods23]

Just 60 push up a night will do before sleep lol ...

Push ups are great and if you are doing 60 a night you're a beast but it doesn't workout your legs.

100%, totally agree. Follow the rule of progressive overload, making incremental increases in weight each session, and in a few months your core lifts (bench, squat, DL) will be juicy. Won't look the best, but you'll be big and strong which ultimately I'd prefer anyways vs aesthetics.

[shootermcgavin]

3 to 4 days of MMA and grappling (wrestling, judo or BJJ?) is a big effort! Beast mode activated.

Do you do the combat stuff in lieu of cardio? I'm considering taking up a martial art just for the cardio benefits as I hate running, cycling etc.

Dudejitzu is good for some I hear.......

Yeah, I don't really have time for cardio, unless I'm trying to make a certain weight then I'll change out the weights for cardio.

Mainly BJJ + some judo.

Rapier wit.

But seriously:
Trolling attempt = 1/10

Making weight? You must fight? I've done a bit of boxing when I was younger but was fairly rubbish. Nothing like seeing someone who knows how to throw their hands properly.

[poundher]

What alot of people fail to see is that many of the martial arts are more than just fighting applications.

We were discussing judo and BJJ. What are the applications for those other than fitness and fighting/competition?

Ok just 1 example I know of first hand is when you're rolling with an opponent any good bjj coach will remind you to relax and not tense up and/or panic.

Apply this in real life and that's what I'm talking about.
Can't say anything about judo as I've never trained.

[poundher]

Some coaches focus heavy on the arts and others focus on the martial.
A good coach will have the right balance of fitness, fighting application and health benefit.

Ahhhh I get you. Yeah I never considered that actually. I always assumed it was black and white with martial arts training, but I see what you're saying: there are everyday applications of the training that aren't necessarily combat based.

[poundher]

My bjj coach calls it the power of relaxation.
In a roll or any situation if you can relax under pressure you'll conserve energy, react quicker and think more clearly.
If your coach is teaching black and white it might be time to start shopping around for a new coach or ask your coach about it.
I find the same thing in weight lifting

It's about the diet, effective programming, breathing technique and muscle mind connection as much as the lift.

100% on the mind muscle connection call. Too many ego lifters in the gym (myself included sometimes I'll admit) who throw heavy weights around with bad form. Better off having mint form and lifting a weight you can control, lest you pay a visit to snap city.

This 100% but if I can put it a different way, the way I've always heard and explained to people, BJJ in particular is about getting comfortable being uncomfortable. It's easy to win a fight, or in life, when you're on top or in control. But when you're in a bad position, high pressure or there's something you can't control, you have to be able to relax and work your way out.

I think once you can master this, life will go from hard mode, to medium difficulty with a few cheats turned on.

Agreed with that analysis %100.

[the_boss_king]

i like to go to the gym atleast 3-4 times a week. stick to a different routine every week to try mix things up.

im also a red belt in tae kwon do.
also train mixed martial arts at bulldogs gym and sometimes uff gym when i have the time to travel.

[waynekerr]

For cardio I road cycle most days - 200 km+ per week, for strength I do isometrics daily.

I have never been in a gym and I'm pretty fit for an old guy. If you want to link money to
fitness I think you should be paid to exercise, not the other way around. :-)

I've lifted 3 longnecks of Sheaf Stout while watching the cricket today - good effort!
Now it's time to cook up some snags ... and a nice healthy salad too .. because my body is a temple.
Perfect food pyramid.
Sausages; fats and proteins
Stout; carbs
Salad; whatever ... placebo ...

Stout is a viscose beer. Three longies of that would get your arms jacked. Plus, watching the cricket is cardio via 1 degree of separation, so overall I'd say that's a successful day.

Fuck! No wonder I am so ripped and pumped these days ;)

[simplelife]

16 - 20 smokes a day (always have to finish with an even number) about 10-12 drags (reps) alternate between arms for each ciggy for muscle symmetry.

When I'm feeling risky sometimes I go up to 40 smokes. The gains are real.
