Gym bro shit and burning fat, building muscle.

One part I enjoy is balancing macros and trying to get enough nutrition in on an average 1700 calories. Nothing like starting the day with an 8 egg omelette (2 yolks) with onion, garlic, mushrooms and a fuckton of chilli and it's under 400 calories.
 
Schwarzenegger has weird genetics. His recovery time is half of what is normal. Also, I don't think he did olympic lifts. His cardio has mostly been bike riding which is easy on the joints. Although he took roids, and the roids were worse in his day, bodybuilders today just overdo everything. Schwarzenegger was going for physique, today they go for mass with little regard for aesthetics, hence HGH gut. That's why he made the Arnold Classic competition. I wonder if he took HGH in his old age because his hands look weird, more bone packed on than normal with thick joints.



It seems like injuries slowly take down competition level bodybuilders as they age, and heart attacks finish them off.

The best physiques tend to be from the ~40s-~60s. Google Steve Reeves to see an era before roids. He had a strange diet without much protein too.
 
piana died for more than just hgh, he was involved in some dark shit to get where he did as were his predecessors and arnold is too

basically anyone going for physique has seen some dirty stuff to get there with roids


mitch's free t isn't 610 unless he's on government roids/ gene therapy that don't fuck with ur nuts

my half bro could bench 500lbs and took massive roids too

but he did not produce children like an idiot
 
In defense of The Minge - I would like to point out that 2lbs of muscle gained is probably about a 200 percent increase and it like represents about 90 percent of his total body weight.

Rich Piana just had a try everything attitude. He took Adderall as a pre-workout for a time and would try any early/illegal drug that was never really tested. He also went crazy for a time just gobbling up tons of supplements when he later said was bullshit.

Cudos to him though because he was always honest about it. Also knew no one really wanted his body, he had image issues, and said beyond a point girls simply no longer care how muscular you get. I miss the piano man.
 
I am glad you're imagining rules :)

The Intensity and Effects of Strength Training in the Elderly - PMC

"Strength training in the elderly (>60 years) increases muscle strength by increasing muscle mass, and by improving the recruitment of motor units, and increasing their firing rate. Muscle mass can be increased through training at an intensity corresponding to 60% to 85% of the individual maximum voluntary strength. Improving the rate of force development requires training at a higher intensity (above 85%), in the elderly just as in younger persons. It is now recommended that healthy old people should train 3 or 4 times weekly for the best results; persons with poor performance at the outset can achieve improvement even with less frequent training. Side effects are rare."

Your trainer is not doing any magic, just common adaptations to actually working out regularly and eating somewhat smart....
 
Lifting is probably more healthy for older people. It's easy to get into at any age, but when you're up in the years the benefit to yourself from more bone density and boost in test probably adds a lot more to your life than a young man doing it.
 
Piana was a moron and now he's a dead moron. Nothing unusual about that. Shipping insulin and all sorts of horse drugs even Trump wouldn't eat. Looked like shit too, I'd rather look like NGFM (OK perhaps that's a stretch but y'know).

Spockadoodle why is my free T not 610? Because, well, it is. I'll post the fucking results if you like. I'm on protein powder, egg whites, vitamin D and red wine. Not even Creatine.
 
That Lalanne dood was nuts. Can't be fucked to Google it right now but there's a story about him swimming across a lake pulling 6 boats, with his hands and feet tied together or some shit like that.
 
So tree fiddy (two) went easily for a double. A shade under double bodyweight now :sunny:
