alright guys, so I have decided to set myself a new goal. I've been looking at diet plans and what I should eat in the course of a given day... I've been stuck at about 72 Kilograms for a while now, and I don't think that is likely to change by simply eating less.

I am considering going with the atkins diet, more specifically what I found here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/topicoftheweek4.htm

There are some flaws with this (more specifically where I am living now, it is difficult to get hamburger patties), but I can probably substitute Salmon in place of Tuna, right? Chicken breast alone is also a bit difficult to find.

What do you guys think of this in correlation with a well-rounded workout? With what I am trying to do, do I have to match this diet plan 100%?


Why on earth are you trying to weigh less than 160lbs? How tall are you?

My question now is no longer "How do I get to 65 Kilograms at 180 CM height?".

Rather I now want to ask, "How do I just get f***ing ripped?" I'm done with the dieting, I think.

Also, I posted that link to the atkins diet because I would like a second opinion.

'Ripped' means different things to different people. At least post a picture of someone you want to look like if you don't know weight goals.

You'll definitely have to bulk some (eat at a ~500 calorie surplus) to gain muscle and then do a small cut to get rid of excess body fat so it shows better.

The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

I had almost the whole week off so i did:
Mon: full body training + 9 km walk home
Tue: nothing
Wed: 7h indoor rope climbing
Thu: full body training with a litte less gripp/pull heavy stuff
Fri: 4h hiking, 2h half-climbing (its called Via ferrata acording to wikipedia. and it is awesome)
Sat: full body training, and 6h office work
Sun: 2h walking/hiking
Mon: 2h bouldering indoor, full body training

Never in my life have I moved so much. I do all my walking(not the climbing) barefoot except downhill in the mountains so even the smaller walks are somewhat exhausting.
Although its probably way to much I am kind of sad to see it go down to less then half in the next weeks.

Is it better to wear shoes that are completely flat or ones like romaleos with a lifted heel? Or doesn't matter?

Squatting with Olympic shoes is much easier because your knees can travel much farther horizontally and allow you to go deeper with less ankle mobility. For deadlifting, I've heard that it's best to lift barefoot or with flat shoes. Benching/OHP it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, I deadlift without shoes at all. Even when I'm doing it with heavy weights.

This. For oly lifting and squats, Romaloes. For deadlift it's 100% better barefoot. For bench is easier to arch your back with heels. Remember deadlift =/= clean pulls



Edit: lol so many giants on that vid, magnusson looks short. The guy a head taller in the end is "the mountain" from GOT.

Need to just get in and do more reps of snatch and cj. So confidence-dependent lol. Wish we had a bigger platform or more dedicated area at the gym.

In the crossfit gym I go to, there's no "weightlifting area" but I make sure people know what the fuck is up whenever I lift.

And yes, after the 10-15th rep is when you get the motion/sync right.

A couple questions guys, if I may. Well turns out, I've still been lazy with working out, partly due to my gym membership running out, and not wanting to renew for another year since I haven't been using it much at all, and two, my University is about 60-90 minutes away from where I live, and therefore I don't really want to get there when I'm at home or on the weekend, and since my classes start at 8am and I have few breaks in between, sometimes I just don't feel into it, or don't want to get sweaty, and excuses excuses haha.

Anyway, what I'm thinking instead is creating myself a home gym, where I can do most stuff. I've done a lot of research with regards to some weight equipment, and well I'm just trying to get a feel for how I can make a home gym on a budget. A thing to note is that my basement ceiling is quite low, and I'm concerned about being able to fit a squat rack in it, so it's worrying for me. Onto what I'm thinking and what I have:

I own:

- A super cheap workout machine that has a pull down system with a max of 60lb
- It has a fly machine thing attached to it
- You can lay on the bench and it has a place to hold the bar for benchpress, it's max height maybe at a height of 4'6", so just maybe enough to use as a squat rack (I'm 5'9" or 5'10').
- A bar with the farthest grip you can use being a regular grip bench press and 125-130lb of weight with the bar combined.

Alright, so obviously it's awful. I'll be using this site to purchase any new equipment: http://shop.fitnessdepot.ca/

So firstly, I need dumbbells, if price isn't an issue, it's seems like the Powerblock is the optimal choice for me, Ironmaster wouldn't be bad, but I don't have a retailer in Calgary that stocks it, and Powerblock > Bowflex. So my options for dumbbells are:

$228 - Powerblock Classic 50 (50-70lb expansion at $108) -- $128 to make the dumbbells a barbell
$278 - Powerblock Sport 9.0 (50-70lb expansion & 70-90lb expansion both at $118)
$378 - Powerblock Urethane (50-70lb expansion & 70-90lb expansion both at $138) --$138 to make the dumbbells a barbell

$48 - Stand that holds Urethane 50lb or Sport 9.0 70lb
$148 - Stand that holds Urethane 90lb (fancier and better built than above one, but triple the price)


Okay, so dumbbells out of the way, I need a bench, I would appreciate help with that (I live in Calgary Alberta if you have any recommendations location wise). Oh, and for numbers, just to know how much weight I need, currently I squat 185lb for sets, bench 155lb, deadlift 225lb... Two years ago when I worked out it was squat 275lb, bench 225lb, deadlift 345lb as a 5 rep max.

Soo the thing it comes down to is this I guess: Am I going to squat and deadlift? If not, I can probably get away with like 200-225lb of weight... Since it'll take years till I can do that much for bent over barbell rows, overhead press, anything but bench press really. But even bench press, just mixing it up, and doing dumbells and what not, I think that 200 will still go a ways. If I want to do squats and whatnot, I will absolutely need a squat rack, which I would hopefully try to find on kijiji for $300, but again, height is an issue... I'll take a precise measurement soon, but for now, when I stand and raise my hand and stretch for the ceiling with one arm (heels still on the ground) I'm a centimeter or two from touching the ceiling. Oh, I have carpet on the ground by the way. So for the free weight options, it's kijiji or:

$278 - 7' Olympic bar, 300lb Olympic Cast Steel Set -->Link
$299 - 7' Olympic bar, 300lb Olympic Rubber Set -->Link


There are also two other sets at $450 & 688 for 250lb & 345lb sets respectively, which is a lot more than the previous two, and not sure why, but here are the link anyway: $450 set and $668 set. There are also squat stands for $148, which is another option.

Soo there is this squat rack that looks quite nice: Click me, that costs $418, and is 77.75 inches, or 1.95 meters, which I feel is short enough to fit, and it looks like it disassembles so it could fit. Sadly I don't see any squat racks or cages with a pull up bar within $1200 dollars here, so that's out of the question. I'm actually a bit concerned about where I'd install the pull up bar because my basement doesn't have regular doors.

Anyway, besides that, is there anything I'm missing?

If I got the Squat rack, Sport 9.0 Powerblocks, Cheap stand, Olympics cast steel set, and some unnamed bench (assuming $150 cost), that'd be a total of $1172 before 5% GST. Then I could also add in a dumbbell upgrade to 70lbs for $118, find some kind of pull up bar thing, and any other assecories you'd guys recommend, and I could easily fit it within a $1500-$1700 gym build.

Thank you for reading everything, it is very appreciated, and I hope some of you seasoned veterans can offer some input!
