yeh, i don't get how other folk just don't want to go to the gym. i'd love to be there right now. yesterday i cheated and did situps in my kitchen with a chair hoisted above my head

lifeforce, do you have problems eating now that you've left the gym? the past two days i haven't been eating well at all; just not hungry at meal times

 

[Double]

haha sorry i couldnt do some sets for you lifeforce, it was hard doing my own sets after that break!but i will do some for ya tomorrow =]!

i think i would have cheated too with some biceps curls and situps haha but i couldnt because of a little operation!




hehe i hear so many people say sport is murder(rhymes in german) i cant understand them but what i absolutely cant understand i was one of them a few months ago

You should be ashamed, have someone slap your hand for being a bad boy. :]

Yeah I eat a little less I do. But I sleep differently. Like being awake 10 hours, sleeping six hours...being awake six hours, sleeping nine hours being awake 18 hours. and so fourth. But I try to get as much down as possible, dense food but I do not manage to eat whey, haven't taken anything in 3 days. I also seem a little smaller even if I weigh the same. And I must admit I bought a LARGE bag of candy and hired some movies and ate till I wanted to puke... :]


Double: Haha, no only kidding around you know. Don't overtrain because of me.

You mean, Sport - Tot? :] Yeah, isn't the change unbelievable?

 

[Double]

hey whats going on you know some german stuff !

but

tot=dead
Mord=murder

"Sport ist Mord"

close one

 

[Lifeforce]

Haha I wonder how the person look like who made that expression up... :]

Yeah I can speak some Deutsch. My friend was into german pornos so we watched and drank beer before going out to party. The sentences like "Gute bumsen!" "Ja im Aschloch" "Pass auf, Pass auf! Ich spritze!" is etched into my brain! :] Well they may become useful if I ever plan on going to Germany like:

"Haben Sie Kennzeichnung?"
"Ja im Arschloch"

 

[Double]

ahahahaaa i was laughing my ass off, i would be actually rolling on the floor if you would say that in real life to me =D......but hey you can make some audio files ;P


and yes its called ARschloch.....aschloch sounds like a french trying to speak deutsch.....so you have to bring some swedish style in hehe

btw one new important german lesson for ya:

do you mean "gut bumsen"=good ****ing
or
"Rudel Bumsen"=gang bang

 

[Lifeforce]

Back in black

Couldn't take anymore... stopped the training and puked. This was either one of the best or one of the worst workouts ever... I'm leaning to the first... it felt really good. Not to puke but the feeling I couldn't walk down the stairs without holding on to the side...

Actually it has been raining all day and I came in here and read your reply... so I thought why not... So I made an audio file... Kapitel Eins - Flirten am Rand.

I'll always remember that... you never know when you will have the need for the word arschloch.

Yeah gut bumsen... or gutes bumsen maybe it was...

This workout was so awful I almost threw my ezbar away when doing skull crushers, I was liteally pissed and lacked strenght in every muscle. I had to do something else than to train my triceps so I did some raises I have wanted to do for a long time to develop my posterior deltoid which have been lacking for so long.

I will never ever travel to my friend again and have my diet slip so much again, NEVER! It feels so good to be back on track.

 

[Double]

welcome back. "you will become who you sourround yourself with"......hmm thats true in many ways, i have some friends that workout but no one reaally watches their diet, that suxx.


i didnt see your post about that audio file dude i waaaaaaaaaaant it now =] or better tomorrow cauz im leaving now (prepared with some nuts and a fruit bar )

 

[MindOverMatter]

you will become who you sourround yourself with

I agree.

I generally split my friends into different categories. I have friends I bodybuild with who are very disciplined, then I have guys I do Muay Thai with, guys that I club/pick up with, guys that I chill / watch sports / go to bars to chill with, and female friends.

In my opinion, these friends don't belong outside of their categories. For example, some of my Muay Thai friends work out, but they don't have the discipline of my bodybuilding friends. The few times I went to the gym with them, my workouts sucked. Wasn't focused, and ended up wasting a lot of time.

Same goes for my other friends. The friends I go clubbing with tend to elevate my game, whereas the ones who I just chill with at bars tend to slow me down.

I guess it's all about balance.

 

[Double]

you seem to have that balance really down. what you described would be my dream friends. different friends that are DJ in different areas. but today it is just that - a dream. how did you get there? did you just ditch your old average friends? because nothing is wrong with them but you know you can't really succeed if you keep them close. i dont know what to do, DJ friends are rare and i didnt find them yet. also i have not much to offer to them...because i myself am not a DJ yet. do i have to make it alone for a while? my friends are my biggest problem i like them but...........

 

[Lifeforce]

This workout was a little better but I still lack the strenght I used to have, at the third deadlift my strenght faded and I felt the glycogen was running dry in my body. Diet goes on to recover from week in hell. It is set in stone.

haha double... I think I will keep that file to myself. I have it good, many off my close friends have started to watch their diet when I started so talking calories and stuff like that isn't bad. The other friends is from out of town and he doesn't watch his food very well. Double, I'd have your friends introduce more people and get to know them and then have those people introducing some more until you find the people you look for.

I absolutly agree mindovermatter, friends fall into different categories like that. You seem to have it figured out. Lucky you :]

No I didn't ditch any of my older friends, but I did stop hanging out with them all the time like I used to. With them, I'll watch sports games, go to bars, etc. But I wont ever wing with them, since they're not very good at it, plus they find the way I operate kinda unorthodox.

My former frat brothers / guys I winged with in clubs are the opposite, they're very good and can elevate my game.

6x40kg squats <--suxx but good progress
6x50kg deads <--suxx but good progress
6x28kg military press<--suxx and no progress since a few weeks

i'm also doing underhand chinups with shoulder wide grip(8xslow) and crunches on declined bank

my base workout plan is
day1 squats,bench press, bent over rows
day2 deads, chin ups, military press

so i have a full body workout everytime with a little number of excercises to prevent overtraining


want to add some dips and forearm+wrists curls soon, also some reversed biceps curls
