Is natoma scared of me ?

[London Geezer]

london-boy has far too much time on his hands and a very active imagination.

U're just jealous cuz u suck at farcry u FAGGOT!!!!!
Me, little old straight me, i'd pulverise u. Then run over your ashes. On the beach. So no one would ever know u died. No one would ever know where u died. No one will remember of your existance.


(OK I HAVE to stop drinking this much coffee and the choco chip cookies too)

How heavy?

Oh, tough guy wants to compare his weights with someone middle-aged, eh?

I don't use heavy weights since my workout is a modified version of Philips' Body-for-Life, which is 60 reps per muscle group with 1 minute rests between sets. I also workout in the mornings on an empty stomach, though I don't think that doesn't really affects my overall strength while lifting. But my flies yesterday morning consisted of:

20 lb dumb bells/12 reps
1 minute rest
30 lb/10 reps
1 minute
40 lb/8 reps
1 minute
50 lb/6 reps
1 minute
40 lb/12 reps
No rest!
40 lb/12 reps of bench pressing instead of flies

Rest two minutes, move to shoulders or arms and repeat the above pattern.

Each rep is 5 seconds long, with very slow movement on the negative portion of the rep, which really starts to 'burn' the muscle toward the end of the set. . .especially with no rest between the last two sets. If I do bench presses, that last set is flies and my weights are 30/40/50/65/50/45. I like starting out light to stretch the muscles, warm them up, and get the blood flowing and I haven't had a single injury in the two years I've been doing this.

Well, a friend of mine told me about this other way to do weights, u should try. It's like this:

Start with the heaviest weight u can lift more than 5 times, for me it's 160lb bench press. Do as many reps as u can, then go down a notch, say 150, WITHOUT resting. Repeat. Keep doing that going down until u're knackered. Without resting in between. In the end u won't even be able to lift 60lb.

for me it's usually (bench press)
160 - 10-12 reps
140 - 10 reps
120 - 10 reps
100 - 10-15 reps
80 - as many as i can
60 - as many as i can

It really worked wonders for me. Try it out.
You can use the same method for every muscle.

I've never tried that, but I think I'll give it a go this afternoon and try it out all week to see.

That's a good recipe to injure yourself if you're not careful. And I'm essentially doing the same thing, peaking the heaviest weight at 6 reps and still having 40% of my reps left with lighter weights. Trust me, when I'm done I can barely lift my 11-month-old daughter when I get home, my muscles are so fatigued.

160 lbs! F'in pussy. I could bench 225 two years ago when I was just doing 3 sets of 10 reps and not moving slowly on the negative. Beefcake, BEEFCAKE!! 8)

Seriously, form, technique, whatever you want to call it, can be more important than the amount of weights you move. Too many men get hung up on their egos and how much weight they're lifting in front of the other guys. I learned to check my ego at the front door. I've been snickered at once or twice when someone sees a guy my size (I'm only 5'11" but I'm very thick <shut up, Natoma>) grab 20/30lb dumb bells to work out with, but I snicker in return when I see some young kid pile on the weights, do only a handful of reps, and has to bounce the barbell off his chest to even do them.

Definately.

Hahaha I know those ones... Pathetic....

Poor thing... I guess the thought of me sucking a straight guy while pulverizing someone in Farcry is too much.... Told u i'm multi-tasking... London-boy=Multi-threaded.

Jvd:
-built like a brick shit house (not sure u say this in american, but basically, U'RE BIG)
-has no life--->probably better than many at Farcry
-hasnt had sex in months---> lots of repression/anger/whatever to releave.
-probably better PC than most, knowing his budget.
-has 1TByte of porn at his disposal----->hands are MUCH MUCH more trained than most other people.
-has no rent, bills, food to pay, plus he doesn't buy clothes, he still has the same jeans he had 10 years ago (yes, he was this big already) therefore he has a bigger budget to buy the latest CPUs and videocards (which he gets at discounted prices anyway, the wanker), buy original copies of the games even more than once, just for the fuck of it, and have a 92182TBps internet connection. Needless to say he would even beat Blue Gene at chess, just because by the time Blue Gene finishes booting up, Jvd would have sent 19021029million emails with viruses to chug it up and die.

Hey .

I do have a life. Last weekend I was in new york at some bar (Whisky bar i think )

But things have been sad around here lately and we all just mope around .

My pc is not that great . Athlon 2500+ , 1.5 gigs of ddr433 ram , 9700pro . Soon it will be an a64 3000+ 1.5 gigs of ddr433 ram and a x800xt. My sisters pc is far better right now .

The sex thing is true. But the last time I had sex i fucked my back up . Couldn't walk for a week . So the girl has to be hot enough for me to risk that. I'm not like you who would sleep with any old person no matter how skanky .

And no i don't have jeans that are that old. I would have been 12 at the time . No waay was I 6'4 and 280 lbs back then. I wasn't even six feet tall yet.



I do have a some what fast internet connection . 15 megs down and only a 128 kbps up .

As for blue gene. I went office space on it .


In closeing of course i'd kick natomas ass. And he would enjoy it too

 

[rainz]

I can kick your ass whenever you want in Far Cry JVD

RainZ

Not at all . I will kick your butt man and if i can't . I will die like a bunch of pixels .

I refuse no request. Unless i'm asleep that is

Tell me when you want ! ( just pm me )

But going to college and eating a bag of chips and a 12 pack for dinner did me in. Then last year when i screwed my back up (hurniated my l5 ) i really went down hill. I'm not allowed to lift more than 50 pounds .

Your back is weak, not strong at all. And Look at all the weight you are shifting onto it, you weigh like 250+ correct?

If you lost the weight your back problem would improve signifigantly... You can than go about making it stronger.

yea i'm working on it slowly but surely. Its hard to loose weight when you still can't run much and can barely lift.

 

[jvd]

Bah he is chicken. Just look at more proof .

GL Jvd: still chicken ?
GL Jvd: going to take on rainz
GL Jvd: if u want in
NatomaAIM: i'm working atm
GL Jvd: Sure sure

Get a excercise bike, all you gotta do is move your legs.

Do 20 minutes, easy stuff. Listen to music on a CD player while doing it, think about 20 minutes this way... It's 4-5 songs!

Do 20 minutes 3-4 times a week, get rid of all the junk food out of your diet, switch juices and sodas out with water.

Instead of eating a big bowl of something... eat a medium sized one.

You'd be surprised how much weight you'll lose just by getting rid of the junk food alone and exercising.

 

[jvd]

Well natoma told me to stop drinking soda so i did .

I walk about 3-6 miles a day unless its raining out. I can't do a bike it strains my back. I can do an eleptical machine and i do that when it rains

 

[John Reynolds]

Speaking of sore backs, I did a half-hour on a cross country machine at the gym, did my crunches, and then came home and moved four yards of mulch for the wife's flower beds. Someone poke me with a fork. . . .

I have to say, I'm not sure if that is the worst way to throw out your back or the best...

I'm all about toning, too bad I stopped working out a while back, that and a gym membership isn't in the cards with my current financial status pair with my cheapness.

In anycase, the max weight down idea, seems like a bad way to go. I always did stretch and then go to about 60-75% max and do in the neighbourhood of 20+ reps, with exercises that work the maximum number of muscles.

A while back I was told about "Sevens". Basically, the theory goes you get weight close to your max and then you do a half-motion rep, seven times and then do the other half seven times. I have yet to try it, but supposedly you feel the burn much faster, especially since you can really pile on the weight for partial movements. I've only seen this demonstrated for biceps.
