Unfortunately my girlfriend likes me with abs, so GOMAD is out of the question, but I am trying to reach 95-96kg currently and seeing if that improves my lifts. For me, every kg I gain gives me like 5kgs on my max squat... it's insane. I'm expecting to put on those extra 10 lbs before november first. At that point, I'll evaluate my next set of goals - Depending on how leangains goes until then, my goals at that point will probably be to add another 3-4kg in the two months before the new thread comes up. I don't expect to stop at 84kg by any means - I'll be more like 100kg before I'm happy with how much I weigh. | ||

At your height you'd have to be like 125kg to ever be a great squatter, which sucks. Time to start drinking some Poundstone shakes :D. | ||

So me and another guy and a girl competed in the team competition. A total of 30 teams competed. First workout, which was pretty much pure cardio, went well and we were 5th going into the second workout. The second workout was: 15 minutes to establish a max weight for this combo-lift (all 3 were to find their max in 15 min): 1 clean anyhow (I powered), 3 front squats, 1 overhead anyhow (I split jerked) I haven't squatted in 4 months because of a knee injury, and so I had no idea if I had ANY strength in my legs anymore... started out at 80 kg. and got it up relatively easy... Felt good, so I put on 90 kg for my next attempt and got that up as well. Then 95 kg, and after 3 fucking hard front squats, I got that shit up overhead :-D Tried 100 kg for my last attempt - powercleaned it, front squatted it, but couldn't get it up. We were then on second place going into the 3rd workout (half teams were cut from the competition here) 3rd workout, which was a powersnatch/snatch/overhead squat complex, didn't go so well because the girl on my team had problems with her snatch. But we were still tied for second place, which meant we were going to the final :-D!!!! 5 teams went to the final workout Final workout was: 21 kettlebell (kb) swings (24 kg) 15 chest to bar pullups 9 overhead squat (24 kg kb) 21 deadlifts (100 kg) 15 handstand pushups 9 burpee pullups overhead walking lunge (24 kg kb) to finish line All three members had to complete one round. So first the other guy on my team completed his round. Then our girl started out. Went well UNTIL the handstand pushups... she was SO close to just give up in frustration after only having done like 4 after 5 minutes... in the end she kept trying though, and got through it. At this point we were FAR behind all other teams which had their guys going first and their girl finishing... So I fucking ATTACK that workout!! Overtook the 4th team on the deadlifts and the 3 other teams on the handstand pushups :-D People were screaming like crazy, and it felt awesome being cheered on by the people from my crossfit box (we were the only team from my box left in the competition) :-D So we actually end up winning the final, but because the team in the lead going into the final being so much ahead in the other workouts, we finished second. Still pretty fucking good considering their girl competed in the women's individual competition in the 2011 CrossFit Games :-) Next time I will try and compete in the individual men's competition. Can't wait till next time!! When someone starts posting pictures, I can put some up in this thread. | ||

So I challenged my friend to reaching 35 standard pull ups, and I wanna win as hell. I'm 16 this year and I weigh 68 kg, can do 22 standard pull ups as of earlier today. I know I'm not going to reach that number quick if I rely on just going through the same motion, so was just wondering if you guys got any advice on specific weight trainings that will build up muscle parts needed for that. Thanks in advance!  | ||

I remember I used to post a little in one of the old H & F threads. I have been lifting on and off for some time, but I have decided I'm going to get huge. I'm starting a 3split routine tomorrow. My hope is that by posting in this thread I will stay motivated. I will get some pictures taken asap, so I can see how my progress is. I have some secondary goals as well. First is being able to do a hundrede push-ups by the end of the semester. The whole class is training after each schoolday in order to reach the goal. Second is getting some running shoes, so I can start running. I don't have any specific distances in mind, I'm just trying to improve my cardiovascular health. Third is getting back into mountainbike hiking (in forest and such) again. Fourth and last goal is to start rowing, so we can compete properly at our schools yearly competition (maritime school). I'm 180 cm and weigh ~80 kg at present. | ||

I would rename it the bulking up thread. There's more to fitness than the size of your muscles -.- try it out, put on some muscles and gain some strength, see the effect it has on your body & health, then come back and say that.

I believe training weighted pullups is probably the best way to progress to your goal, eat well on your workout days and increase the weight linearily and you can make a lot of progress in a few weeks. | ||

Thanks in advance! Afaik doing pull-ups to failure is the best way to increase endurance and the max. So do pull-ups to failure every morning and every evening. You can always learn kipping and do them crossfit style, but i'm not sure if thats allowed, but that would result in a quick win probably. | ||

You'll notice I did tell him how to achieve that goal, whilst giving him some advice on how not to strain his body. Also, I'm in excellent physical condition. Having a large frame in itself is not going to make you healthy. You need to have good core strength and solid joints before you start bulking up otherwise you're greatly increasing the likelihood of injury. I had to have a shoulder recon and guess what my post-op recovery started with? Cardio, cardio, cardio. Then light weights and core strength. Then after six months I was allowed to start bulking up again. Edit: missed the last part section. Overloading your reps by 10% will work better than going linear. | ||

How many days a week? In general it's advisable to do something other than the usual brosplit routine. Post the pictures. Well with all this cardio goals you have to eat a shitton to grow. At that size and height you should be decently big already, if most of it is muscle that is. | ||

You told him to do cardio and light weights? How is that going to help him reach his pull-up goal? First of all you probably won't be getting huge with just doing pull-ups. So even if he's only 16 that shouldn't be a problem, i don't think he can do anything wrong with bodyweight exercises at that age. Loading big weights while growing might be a different case, but i don't have any knowledge about that so i can't really say. But i'm pretty sure in russia (or china) they lift from child.  Second i don't think you really can get too big if you stay natural, of course you should be doing cardio after a certain size is reached, but you probably won't get enough muscle to really overload your heart. | ||

Doing cardio and light weights is definitely going to help him reach that goal. The whole point of cardio is to increase your aerobic fitness which helps in every factor regarding endurance. | ||

Well with all this cardio goals you have to eat a shitton to grow. At that size and height you should be decently big already, if most of it is muscle that is. I will do back/biceps, chest/shoulders/tris and legs by them self - each split two times a week. And of course focus on the big lifts ie. squats, deads, chins, bp, dips, mili press, bor etc. I'm past the SS programme. When I stopped lifting a few months back i was at 300+ lbs in dl and 250+ lbs for squat. I will most likely change the routine after 8 weeks and go over to heavy lifting multiple times a week, but for now I want my body and joints to be accustomed to lifting again. I will post pics when I get them taken (it will most likely take a while as my camera is back in my old apartment) but I can already say now that my legs are lagging behind very badly. Yea, I realize I have to eat a lot, but I'm usually doing half Gomad when bulking, so I get a decent amount of calories from there. I feel I've got the nutrition part down quite nicely, so I should be fine there. I would guess that I'm ~15% bodyfat atm.
