Lmao! That looks hilarious. I'll try that out. Went to the docs and chiropractor today... Nothing serious from the looks of it (probably a serious bone bruising) , but was told to keep away from squatting and DLing for at least another 2 weeks Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Doubtful I'll be able to do RDLS or stiff legged DLs. Heck, even good mornings hurt my knee a little when I tried them earlier today with a broomstick. I'll give them a shot next time I'm at the gym tho, and once I have a better idea of what my injury is all about. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Disclaimer: injured my knee at work a month ago,and when I thought it finally healed and did some bodyweight Squats, the injury just got worse. Got a doctors appointment in 2 days to see what's wrong, but it looks like Squats and deadlifts are out for the foreseeable future. Hence the "Bro routine"... All upper body, all the time. Anyways, here's what I have so far: Pull: Wide pull ups Pendlay rows E z bar Curls w/ fat gripz 1 arm T bar rows Farmer's walk w/dumbbell Push: OHP Close grip bench press w/fat gripz Wide dips Dumbbell Shoulder press Standing French press Farmer's walk w/kettle bell Here's how I'm thinking of doing them: pull, Push, off, pull, Push, off, off. I'm debating splitting the 2 days into horizontal and vertical push and pull days. Any thoughts from anyone? Even though a small part of me dies on the inside whenever I don't squat, I can't stop working out completely. Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk

Doom & Destiny on Android. If you're a fan of JRPGs then you owe it to yourself to play this. After that I am thinking either Secret of Mana or FF6: 2 classic RPGs from back in the day that I somehow missed out on.

Hahaha, trust me there's a lot of us with that attitude! At the moment I'm not doing anything on my off days. I used to do ab/core work because I felt like my core couldn't keep up with my legs (for squats), but now that I have gotten used to keeping my core tight I don't do anything. As for my program, it started as Stronglifts but I was pretty inconsistent with my routine/dedication and eventually I got bored of it. And doing 5x5 with 4-5 minute rest periods took way too long. That, and I noticed that I couldn't keep up with my nutrition and recovery (having a job where you're walking for 8-10 hours a day does that). My routine looks like this now: Workout A Squat 3x5 (at whatever weight I am currently at...so 230lbs will be next)Bench 4x5 or 5x5 (with FatGripz on barbell to improve forearm strength (my weak link)Pendlay Row 3x5 (warm up with FatGripz only)Accessory work: eg. diamond pushups for 5 reps with 5 or 10 second rest. Same with Inverted Rows.Workout B Squat 3x5 (weight is 80% of working weight, with 2 minute resting periods)OHP 3x5 (with FatGripz)DL 1x5Accessory work: Chin ups with 1 minute rest for 5 sets. Once I complete that without a problem, I reduce the rest period to 45 seconds, then 30 seconds, then 15 until I do all 5 sets as 1 rep and then repeat by adding more reps per set. So that is the gist of it. How does 5x3x1 work? Do you add weight on each set? So for example, 5 reps @ 185lbs; 3 reps @ 205 and then 1 rep @ 225? Or is the weight constant?

Oh nice! I'm in Etobicoke. Pretty much grew up in here, but spent 2 years living in Muskoka a few years ago

I used to be one of those people that couldn't wear headphones while working out, but after the gajillionth time of listen to Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift at the gym while trying to smash my squat PR, I caved in and got myself a pair of headphones for working out. I'm a fan of electronic music, so I listen to DJ sets that have a constant flow/rhythm and are a little more upbeat. This in particular has been in my rotation for the past 2-3 weeks: https://soundcloud.com/missmelera/miss-melera-d-edge-brasil-29012015

I use Simple Workout https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.selahsoft.workoutlog Looks clean, functions smoothly, and does what I need it to do

Anyone from the GTA here?

Oh yea, as for weight lifting goals and all that: Just want to get stronger and more defined/lean. I'm currently doing something along the lines of stronglifts/starting strength. Current stats include: Squat: 225lbs Bench: 160lbs OHP: 110lbs DL: 255lbs Pen. Row: 165lbs I'd like to get my squat to about 285lbs, DL to 315 and bench my body weight at 185lbs. Preferably by end of April, although I feel like my DL and OHP have maxed at the moment (hit a huge stall today)

I figured I would create an intro thread for myself here. I've heard of this site for a while but never bothered checking out the forum until now, when I felt like I could use a place for workout discussion and this seemed to fit the bill (and Bodybuilding.com wasn't really an option for obvious reasons LOL). Anyways, about me: 32, from Toronto, Canada (any other Torontonians here?) Favourite nerd topics: video games, especially old school 90's and 00's video gaming. Nowadays I don't have the time and money to play on a regular basis, but I really do want to get a PS4 to checkout some games.Books: everything from sci-fi and fantasy, to non-fiction political/current events stuff and self help. TV/Movie junkieMusic: House, techno, hip hop/rap and some rock Anyways, I have a very sarcastic personality sprinkled with a lot of cynicism so a disclaimer for some of my posts: if it reads on the side of ridiculousness, I'm probably talkin s*** Cheers!

Do these bros ever barbell curl in the squat rack? Cause I've seen that many times at 1 gym I used to frequent.

Too many to remember, but here goes: shortly after Beck won the Grammy this year: YOLO 1: So that's why they picked some guy nobody has ever heard of, because they're trying to seem more authentic by *not* picking the popular artist. YOLO 2: Man that totally makes sense. I Youtube'd some of his stuff, and it's just so weird, but that's exactly why they gave him the award. Me thinking to myself: I don't want to live on this planet anymore. ------ BRO 1 to BRO 2: You're not deadlifting if your back isn't hurting the next day. ME: Well at least they won't be taking up valuable weight lifting space for long. edit: w00t! first post!
