I've been lifting 4-5 days per week...is that good enough of a stat? actually I've been focusing mostly on cardio, but lift everytime I workout maybe you should post up some stats yourself fella
Stats, huh? Not a powerlifter, but I lift 3x a week and do cardio on the off days. Been lifting regularly like that for about 6 years now.
At my first last and only meet back in april i totaled 1438 raw, (bench, squat, deadlift no suits) but since then i've dropped 20 lbs and am training for a possible fight in december at heavyweight (265). http://www.magiccitymuscle.com/ <---i am the only colin listed on the page. They also have a picture of me today i worked up to a set of 2 500lb squats. lots of lunges, and some calf work.
I'll say it again, you're a freakin' monster. Colin comes to my house to get Aegis' old wagon. And when he steps out of the truck I almost wanted to just give him the keys and run the opposite direction.
so Colin.... when you wear those tight pants... is it cold.. ha ha h runs to another state, boards plane to another country... hides.... ps.. just kidding
dead lift 584? ehhhh, that's nothin..... Oh wait, I read it again, 584 pounds. Um.........Jeeez Loueeeeez you win! lol
aww, come on, i was friendly enough and I have all my shots.....also i managed to not stare directly into her cleavage for more than a polite amount of time which is very hard. ps: said wagon gets to be my test dummy for all sorts of 4130 chromo test welding and attemps at welded "old porsche" style fender flairs next month. yay yeah, so they pretty much leave nothing to the imagination and they are required. We all pretty much wear as tight of underwear as possible, mainly because of the horror stories of someone flopping nuts between the bar and thigh. but yeah, At the end of a deadlift, it's basically "Hey everyone!!! LOOK AT MY NUTS!!!" All the grandmas swoon.
I've just started getting into lifting since I just moved back. When I was in colorado the only gym we had was at a rec center and it was ungodly expensive so I did it for 3 months last year but wasn't nearly as motivated as I am now. Plated Leg Squats I'm at 18 plates for a max, going for 22 as a max since my legs were already burnt. We will see.
i train in fargo, out of Academy of Combat Arts (associate school for MMMA) all instructors are trained out of there. If i feel up to it/get the ok from my instructors, I will be fighting for either the M.A.X. fights promotion, or Dakota Fighting Championship. Both promoters are friends, so it will be more like who can get me a fight that won't be a massacre either way. lol
Awesome, my fighting days are over but I fought out of American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose. Trained with Eugene Jackson, Bobby Southworth, Tim Lajcick and some others... all old guys now, like me lol.
Earlier this year I was doing a lot of heavyweight routines. I was deadlifting about 385, benching 285, squatting near 400 (on a smith machine, though), and working out with 85 pound dumbells with the shoulder press. I was kind of poofy (my word for my body) so I started looking at other training regimens. I drank the Crossfit Koolaid and have been training using their Work-Outs of the Day (WODs) for about 6 weeks now. The results have been pretty amazing. I'm more cut, more flexible, with a much stronger core. I have lost some of my max-lift capability and I'm definitely less brawny than I was 3 months ago but my definition is increasing by the day. I also started eating a Paleo diet so that has helped.
Wow that's pretty good. I used to Kickbox and competed in Teakwon-do turnament over seas. I have not competed for a long time now but practice once in a while. I need a brain for my job and can not afford to get kicked in a head very much. But it sure was fun
just under 6'5" I have been know to pull engines out by hand lol. mostly B series honda motors, but two 2.2's have come out that way.
A few years ago when I was liftin for power and for football. I put up 340 lbs on the bench with out the ply suit. At the time I only weighed 150 lbs.I would of had the record for my weight class at the time if I would od entered a contest. Now I just lift to get my body where I want it be. I not care for how much I can max at anymore.but about 5 years ago I did my first body building show and thinkin about doin another one
how do you fit in a subaru?? good god. hopefully we will be moving this summer. wanna come help??? lol
We should get a biggest loser contest going. See who could lose the most body weight (% wise). Anyone down for that? I think it would be a blast.but not me, I tryin to gain not lose weight lol
I was actually just in one of those at work here. 10 weeks, no diet pills, and a good diet later, I dropped from 182 lbs to 163.
Last saturday I was at 238 and today I was down to 221. Good eating and jogging on the days that I don't play basketball. And LOTS of water. And I am 6'4'' and definately don't fit in the passenger seat of a subaru but fit just fine for driving. And I am proud of all of you guys that lift. That just seems like way too much work. Throwing cases of pop for work is enough lifting for me and plus it would cut into my video game time
a typo i meant MMAA Minnesota Martial Arts Academy. The guys that train me put in their time there. They're an associate school you can actually link to the ACA page from the MMAA page. yeah give me two weeks notice and I will definitely help. I actually used to work for a professional moving company versed in "specialty" moves. Grand pianos, antiques, mounted and stuffed elephants polar bears, lions. 400 gallon apartment water heaters... even a 5 pip resteraunt WOK once. So if you really need help, I'd be glad to, i just need a bit of advance notice.
haha i guess i should have posted.. I started lifing maybe 6 months ago.. I lift for strength and endurance mostly because im trying to stay speedy for track.. aiming for 140 lbs(lose body fat).. at 16: 150lbs Bench-200 Squat-400 deadlift-270 Decent? Post maxs up guys..
I could take him. With my Sig and about 30 feet of space. I'm going to need the second mag though. Jesus, I've seen draft horses that were smaller than you. (makes mental note to add Colin to the Christmas card list)
I started running 1-2 miles everytime I exercise and eat low fat food. I am getting old and it's hard to maintain low body fat % :emo:
haha yeah its hard for me to get it to around 10%.. im aiming for ideal weight of 140 by losing fat... gonna be tough.. im starting new program today
I've never had good metabolism, my brother got it all. I suggest getting big muscles and facial piercings. Nobody notices my belly anymore. they're too busy hiding their children so I don't eat them. PS: i rock 13% right now.
Ive been lifting for years, not to get bulky but too stay strong for football so i never really got huge, just tried to stay cut now- 6'0 and 200 lbs, no idea on BF% Bench - 280-300 Squat- 400-450 Deadlift- a full size freezer never been a deadlift guy 2 years ago when i was still playin 6'0 and 185 4% body fat Bench 300-325 squat 500-515 deadlift- a small car and was running a 4.5 40 Gettin back in shape right now to try out for the arena ftball team in Des Moines this winter
Necrobump! Alright, I know some of you bozos made it your new years resolution to start working out again! So let's motivate each other to get back (or stay in) shape! Tim? Brian? Mike? Ringo? Bueller? My new years resolution (same for the last decade) is to party like it's 1999, but I decided a couple months ago to exit my 20's in similar shape to how I entered my 20's... I have a little over a year to lose 15lbs while gaining strength. Anyway, my strength isn't nearly what it used to be, but I'm mixing in a lot more cardio to balance out the binge drinking and smoking lol Currently 5'10" 190lbs (down 25lbs since September) 16% BF squat: 315 x 3 (my old man knees and recurring hamstring injuries aren't helping) deadlift: 365 (see above) bench: 335 x 1 goals for summer: squat: 4 plates (405) deadlift: 4 plates (405) bench: 3 plates and quarters (365) body fat closer to 10%
Very nice. Glad this is back from the dead as I've started lifitng again as well haha. Mainly now doing lifting for better strength upper body and endurance lower body as track season is coming up. My numbers are to be posted.
