Who Here Works Out, Why?
    #5874862 - 07/18/06 07:37 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

  • Do you work out? 
  • What does your routine consist of? 
  • Why do you do it? 
  • What do you need to impove on? 


I work out almost all week.  I mostly do weight lifting...everything.  Squat, various curls, bench, shoulder/military press, leg work, all that shit.

The number one reason I do it because I take pride in my health.  I also work out because I like to challenge myself, and it's an easy way to accomplish this.  And I must admit, I like to fight every now and then.  Whether I put on gloves and throw hands, or just get amongst it in a bar, I love it. 

I try to eat healthy, but sometimes that doesn't work out.  This is one of the things I should improve on.  Should also do more cardio, but what the hell.  I have a bad heart and I'll be dead soon anyhow :shrug:

Find a friend that'll work out with you. That sort of peer pressure of keeping up/exceeding the other works wonders on motivation.

I have a physically demanding job.

I work out five days a week and I cool down by doing 14-24 reps of 12oz. bottles.

Yeah I work out. I feel good after working out and like to be a bit muscular. It does help a bit with self confidence. I do ~60 inclined push ups (with feet on the bed), harder than normal push ups. ~35 diamonds (push up with thumbs and index fingers touching each other). Then about 200 crunches. I used to go to the gym, but it's hard to keep up.
I miss the pull-up bar, that's a good exercises.
Also started to do some jogging, 3.5km. But with this heat wave I don't anymore.

I used to weight train, but then I found drugs, and they kinda ended it. I used to bench so often, that once in 2 weeks, I put 20 pounds onto my max.

Pull-ups/chin-ups and squats are probably my favorites.  They work so much.

Heat has made it something of a bitch the last few weeks, but luckily my  weight room is cooled :smile:

That's what keeps me motivated. I am currently adding 10-20 pounds every two weeks on my bench. Success is the best motivator. Now, if only I could add that much onto all my exercises..or at least my shoulder press.

Do you do squats with weights? I don't have weights at home anymore so I like to find exercises I can do without weight.

No lie, its feels so good to improve, especially withing a short time. Adding that extra 10 pounds on got that testosterone pumping for me.

Wasn't good for my personality, but I'll be damned if my confidence didn't prosper. Then I did nothing but smoke pot for a good 4 months, and I became a friendly fat man.

Yea, I use weight. If you're just starting, there's nothing wrong with using no resistance. You may want to use a broomstick or something just to get the feel for what it's like though.

It's not hard at all to come up with something makeshift if you want. Get a broomstick and hang some milk jugs full of water off of each end. Shit like that.

Or, you can look in the local paper's classifieds and almost always find someone selling a full olympic set for cheap. There's also those weight belts that aren't to expensive.

Hell, if you wanna go all out ghetto(nothing wrong with that), get a friend to sit on your shoulders and squat that motherfucker.

I ran x-country in high school. I still run extremely long distance because I am addicted to this natural high. I run until my heart is screaming, and so winded that your about to collapse, and the all to comon tunnel-vision. Its sounds horrible but during this time its better then an orgasm and you can keep this incredible high going as long as you want by just pushing yourself farther. I never time myself or see how far I run, but in highschool the farthest I went in one practice was 11.5miles away from school, the coach had to come pick me up cuz I passed out in the grass and couldn't move after for a couple hours after it.

I don't get to the gym as much as I'd like, but I usually hit each muscle group once a week. I split it into two days: shoulder/tris/chest/abs and biceps/back. I just run for legs. It's usually about like this:

DAY 1:
3 sets bench - 10 rep (warm up), 10 reps (moderate), 6 reps (heavy)
2-3 sets dumbell bench - 8 to 10 reps (moderately heavy)
3 sets tricep pulldown
3 sets standing shoulder lifts
2 sets machine shoulder lift
2 sets situps (I hate situps)

DAY 2:
3-4 sets bicep curl
3 sets lat pulldown
2 sets hyperextension (lower back)
2 sets bent rows

I do it cause I like having strength to do things that other people can't do. It's good to be useful. It also keeps me trim(mer) than I'd be without lifting.

As far as improvements, I'd LIKE to get my bench back up to over 275, where it was in college. And loose this gut.

I always feel that for bench I should be able to do 150% of my body weight.  Been slacking, so I'm not quite there yet :frown:

I workout. I used to be depressed but the shape I'm in right now really helps my self-confidence. If it weren't for working out and playing my drums, I would be a total wreck.

As for my workout, menshealth.com has a great personal trainer program. Costs a couple of bucks, but the results are worth it. personal trainer

• Yes, I work out.
• I lift 10 reps of 30lbs. I do 4 sets(per arm). 3x a week, working on biceps.
• The rest of my body looks very muscular, my upper body needs a LOT of work.
• My legs are fine(leg press around 1100lbs). I need to improve my arms and upper body in general.

I'm working on improving the size of my arms and pecs.
