but the other 10% are total shits. That's comprised of 2% unfit looking guys who are just pissed off about having their personal cocoon of self pity invaded, 2% intense guys who don't rest much and are like 'just 132948327498 more sets then it's yours', and 6% ladies who just do 1 set of 150 reps at the minimum weight, with like very significant spaces in between each rep. They are all reserved a special level of hatred in my mind. | ||

They are all reserved a special level of hatred in my mind. I've always been the "well I've only got two more sets but I take mad long breaks (5 min) so if you want to work in, go for it" Now that I'm doing this BB-routine, I only take 30 second breaks. Hell, on bench I often don't even sit up in between my "sets" so it's just not at all practical for someone to work in. At least it only takes 8-12 minutes or so to do all of my sets though? | ||

On the hitting ur balls in shrugs, its cause u are doing "wrong". Shurgs to build traps/increase your deadlift involve doing them as the top part of clean oly lifts with lots of weight. That way you use hip thrust and barbell never hits your ball for obvious reasons. This way builds traps and strength, can attest from personal experience. I usually do 8-10 triples with 220-250kg followed by a death set of 20-30 reps with 170kg. Straps are mandatory, so is a squat rack; also dont do a partial deadlift for first rep, do a hip deadlift (you wedge your thighs bellow the bar and then stand up, making it easier on your back). | ||

Age: 24 || Height: 177 cm || Weight: 71 kg Starting Date: 01/14/13 || Goal Date: Life? (I guess this summer) Weight goals -- 65kg (If i don't drop weight, but drop body fat % im happy with that too ) Overall i just want to look better physically Training goals -- I'd love to be able to run a 10k race at 8 min miles. Nutrition goals -- Cutting out most snack foods and soda, focusing on eating more protein and healthier Misc. Goals -- be more social, improve my health edit: I put my starting date down in January, because that is when i started working out at my local gym. I've mostly been doing machine lifting, some elliptical machines for cardio, and swimming. I have completed 2 months of my activities, which is pretty huge for me. I would always start working out but end up stopping within 2 weeks usually. Pretty happy with my progress so far on the strength training side. I have noticed some improvement on my cardio, but i really need to just start running more outside. (though the weather has been utter crap lately. | ||

They are all reserved a special level of hatred in my mind. I don't mind people who do a lot of sets with a short break. If that's what they want to do, then fine, at least they're using the machine. It's when they aren't using it but not letting others that it's a pain. I know I've said no to people rotating in once or twice because there was more than one of them and they wouldn't fit in my rest period. | ||

Don't worry, there's a special place in hell for that 10% At my gym though I can always do my sets while they're resting, except if they're already 3 on that exercise, or when they're doing deadlifts/squats (I only ask whether I can join if I use around the same weight). | ||

@StorrZerg: Any reason you aren't trying out barbell lifts? | ||

Age: 18 || Height: 178cm || Weight: 57 kg Starting Date: 26/03/13 || Goal Date: 1/06/13 Weight goals -- No idea what is reasonable; but 70 kg? Training goals -- Starting Strength Program: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/The_Starting_Strength_Novice/Beginner_Programs Nutrition goals -- Eat more. Sleep goals -- 8 hours a day Misc -- Ace my exams and increase knowledge of Math before going to college. I've been going to the gym casually, once a week right now, and I´m already seeing amazing progress, with my body and the amount of weight I can lift. As most of my exams are over I´m going to the gym 3 times a week whilst following the Starting Strength program. I'm only focusing on gaining body mass. My body fat is low enough for me to have a bit of abs already. The only problem I have is that I don't know if i'm doing to exercises right. I mean, reading a book is great and all. But in practice it's hard to judge yourself. | ||

(though the weather has been utter crap lately. 65kg seems a little on the low side for your height I think. Provided you eat healthier and keep up the training, I don't see why you couldn't maintain (or even increase your weight) while looking better at the same time. | ||

Edit: Oh, didn't realize that was a reply to someone else. Still applies though I guess, at 177-178cm 70+kg is what I suggest you go for. | ||

Edit: Oh, didn't realize that was a reply to someone else. Still applies though I guess, at 177-178cm 70+kg is what I suggest you go for. Alright, yes my weight is really low. I went to the gym yesterday, but I'm feeling quite good, no pain or anything. Is it adviceable to exercise again today? Because I have to go the gym anyway because someone will me help me to sort out my program/schedule and work a bit on my technique. And as it is 30 minutes of biking it would be a waste of time not to go ^.^ Also, I really don't feel like paying attention to what I eat. Such a pain to watch what you eat :/ | ||
