Workout Tips & Discussion

Does moving heavy things mean working out?

I get my exercise from…nothing. I do not go out of my way to do push-ups. but I do make sure that I keep somewhat fit.

I do a lot of working. but I do not really do what you would call working out.

Oh mannnnnn

You see I am a swimmer

Competitive swimmer

I also do occasional dryland, which is just what everybody else is doing.

Can anybody else do clap pushups?

Legit question there. Those things are great.

Is your spirit animal Aquaman or Sub-Mariner?

“hmmm, I wonder…”
Tries them out.
Either I’m doing these wrong or I can’t.

Unfortunately, due to this weird shoulder issue I have, wherein it pops in and out of it’s socket under certain conditions, I can hardly do any pushups.
Strange, I know. It’s a real pain in the ■■■. Sometimes when I’m doing bench-presses it will either lock in or pop out of its socket, which can be pretty troublesome.

What are clap pushups?

I may or may not do these, depends on if they are what I think they are.

Ah.

Yes, I can do those. And I can clap twice in a row if I’m not too tired that day.

Say, do any of you take any protein whey?

I do!

How many times a day, in what doses, and when?

@MagiKarp_Splashes, I think this is the place for you buddy. :wink:

I think you’re right.

Surprised this topic was not more active… :stuck_out_tongue:

Though yeah, my main source of workouts is power walking. At the moment its mostly doing a lot of that in order to get thinner before i join a gym or start trying to get more muscly/toned again.

I’m taking an aerobics class this school year. We’re doing p90x
#KiLL meH

Monday chest and triceps
4 sets of 15 on bench press with 165lbs
4 sets of 20 on the arm extension machine with 120lbs
4 sets of 15 decline bench press 165lbs
4 sets of 15 decline dumbbell arm extensions with 40lbs dumbbell
4 sets of 10 iso-lateral bench press 150lbs
4 sets of 10 dips
4 sets of 10 incline bench press 130lbs
End with 4 sets of 40 crunches or as many as I can each set.

Wednesday legs
5 sets of 10 squats 280lbs
4 sets of 15 Leg press 240lbs
4 sets of 10 calf raises weight varies
5 sets of 10 leg extensions 120lbs
5 sets of 10 Leg curls 120lbs
Then repeat calf raises
Then Repeat leg press with less weight.

Friday biceps, back, and shoulders
5 sets of 10 barbell curls 65lbs
4 sets of 15 dumbbell shoulder press 40lbs Dumbbells
4 sets of 10 wide arm pull up
3 sets of 20 dumbbell curls 45lbs Dumbbells
3 sets of 12 lateral raise 35lbs
3 sets of 10 dumbbell row 50lbs dumbbell
Then repeat barbel curls with less weight
3 sets of 10 decline dumbbell pull over 40lbs
End with abs again 4 sets of 40 or as many as I can each set.

Sometimes I change it up and do different workouts or change the sets and reps. Like I do 5 sets but with reps going down. So I will usually start at 10 reps then go down to 8 reps, 6 reps, 4 reps, then finally 2 reps, with the weight increasing by 10lbs each set. Then finally end with a burnout set with really low weight as many as I can with the minimum I can get being 20 reps.

Don’t skip leg day kids.

Fixing to start p90x. Doing requirements exercises for a week to be prepared. May the Lord have mercy on my muscles.

I’d really like to talk to anyone else who is fixing to start working out so we can encourage each other.
