  1. Well the guy I worked out with is a body builder with 20+ inch arms, so his workout is more along his goals of mass and power. I mean, he was doing 165 lb skull crushers on his second set. F that noise.

     

    The biggest thing I would have done differently is balance it a little more - that workout was a whole lot of isolation, which I'm not really used to doing. Usually if I do triceps, I will do biceps at the same time. My tris are a little sore today (and look huge right now, but that won't last another day) but my lats are incredibly stiff. Maybe do a light set of lat pulls to warm those up before doing this workout.

     

    Thanks.   I hate to admit it but I pretty much stopped working out my arms weekly because it did not accomplish anything.  I would have to work the crap out of them which hurt my professional life and they'd be too tore up to even pick up a hammer.

     

    Just curious, is the body builder guy a legit lean body builder or just a big hoss with a belly type of a body builder? 

  2. So today I worked out with a friend; did his workout. It was tri and thigh day for him. Everything superset:

     

    4 x 12 neutral grip pull up & 4 x 12 hanging dips

     

    4 x 12 skull crushers & 4 x 30 hammer curls

     

    4 x 12 overhead tricep extension & 4 x 12 reverse curls (both on cable machine)

     

    then immediately we went to 8 rep pyramids, up and down twice, with reverse curls (again) and standing tricep push downs.

     

    yes, i know someone will come along and say that this workout isn't much. but this tricep workout, mind you, was after my own upper body workout yesterday and i posted that my right tricep felt like it was ripping itself off my humerus.

     

     

    just wanted to say i can't hang with that ish right now

    I can't ever get a response out of my tri's.  My problem is that I use my arms and shoulders so often that I cannot get development there. I will try this in the next week or two.

     

    Is there anything you can recommend to add to it or take away from it?

     

    95k power ******.

     

    nice.

  3.  

     

    I am tempted to add front squats to balance out my back squats.  I have never done them before.  How much weight should I reasonably expect to be able to do? Half of my back squat?

    What Chime said.  Start light, work on that form.  Do it a few times a week with an empty bar and work up to weight.  Just don't attempt this on the Smith Machine, it will mess your form up for everything.

     

    If you can get to half your body weight in a month you're on the right path.

     

    Calves are basically pure genetics and you can't make them bigger without site injections or whatever.

     

    This is accepted in the BB community. 

    &

    I'm going to need some evidence to back this up. It sounds like some rumor that guys who hate leg day made up

    Its not made up, it's like the forearms and necks.  Those muscles are used so often and so thick and dense that they do not respond well.  If you want bigger calf muscles or a bigger neck you have to work them daily and at least 5 times a week.  Your forearms are little more lucky.  You're working them out at least twice if you're doing back and arms in your workout regime.  Adding just one exercise to them will improve a lot.

     

    There are some very effective and simple calf exercises you can do, though.  The easiest is just dumbbell calf raises on a 45 plate.  Put your toes on a 45lbs. and a dumbbell on your knee to do your calf raises.

     

    With the thick and dense muscles you have to work them out until exertion.  The bad part - if you work your legs out a lot, including running, your glutes will end up this way.

     

  4. The fug? I'm going to the Bills forum where people actually live there.

    you kidding right? No one lives inWNY anymore? Don't you notice all the Bills fans that come out of the woodwork for games? There are more Bills fans in this state then any other state but NY and Canada and maybe Texas .
  5. You alive?

    oh yeah, !an. I live here in NC. Family is in town. My sister lives near Detroit and is going to the game.

    WNY is clearing up a little but 2-4" of rain to fall this week on top of the 10-12' snow= 8+" water. The stadium may not b ready for next weeks game against Cleveland.

  6. I dont understand why cities like buffalo dont have some roads or bridges heated like some in Norway have?

    Doesn't have to be the entire city but key roads here and there.

    Politics.  Let me explains NY politics to you.  They're very different then anything you've ever heard.  (see: NY's gun laws)

     

    In NY you get someone with a crazy whacky idea.  We'll use heated bridges.  Then you get that person trumpeting up the idea thinking of the children.  Then there is a committee formed at a huge expense.  Then the committee finds it would be a good idea to suggest this idea to the NY State House. At that point it is then examined again for millions of dollars and studied to make sure it does not discriminate against homosexuals, minorities, religion, non-religious beliefs, women, men who may one day be women and women who may one day be men, as well as smurfs.  If it is alright by them then they suggest make some new bill.  At the point that it gets to the next level the entire State looks at it and realizes it is West of Albany so they do not want to do anything with it.  So, it goes back to the House.  The House amends it to include building a new art studio for transgenders Dutch Authors of the 14th century and then passes it back up.  At that point it flies to the Governor.  Cuomo then looks it over and decides that the road may allow cars to carry bullets, but not guns, and then strikes it down.  In a huge plea with everyone it gets all the way back up to Cuomo with the Dutch Authors and now a re-educational program for Cubans to remember their heritage complete with a new annual parade in NYC and an act to clean up the Hudson (again).  Voila, the Gov signs it.  It's a law.

     

    Then Elaine and her life partner, Susanne, sue the state because the new road has crosswalk signs that feature a man and a woman and take it to court.  The State is then ordered to pay the couple $1.7mm in damages and the road is scrapped.

    Kiko Alonso...

     

     

     

    After getting a quick workout in at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Wednesday, Alonso presumably: Went home, walked outside into sub-freezing temperatures, removed his shirt, and sat down in a snow bank. As if that weren’t enough, Alonso then covers his legs entirely with snow … and playfully calls for his dog.

    I don't know if ya'll know Alonso much, but he is pretty much ...dense.

  8. i was up in Canton, NY a few years ago on a business trip

    there was a bar with an old picture hanging on the wall... it was a snow scene with just a guy sitting on what looked like a fire hydrant/log. when they asked the bartender about it, he said, "oh no... that guys sitting on top of a telephone pole."

    I think anyone raised in WNY has a photograph of themselves walking down the street doing one of the following:

    A) Touching a street light

    B) Holding a street sign in their hand

    C) On top of a vehicle.

    D) Standing/Jumping off their roof in to snow.  (if you've never done this, do this.)

  9. Seriously how are they going to have a game Sunday?  The players can't practice (or so I've seen on the news sites) and is it going to get warm enough to melt the snow by then?

    The board for volunteers to get paid $10/hr and free tickets to shovel snow is overloaded right now, taking dozens of attempts to get someone.

     

    If it is like the past: You'll reserve your name and they'll tell you a time to show up.  They'll work 24/7 on multiple shifts, turn on the lights and shovel at night.  Then use giant custom made slides to make it go down to the field where it will be trucked out.

     

    They are off Tuesdays normally, the roads will be open by tomorrow (probably tonight).  They'll practice tomorrow, did a lot of film today, some players still got together.  This is not all of Buffalo.  This would be like Matthews and Balentine getting a blizzard with the rest of the area having nothing but blue skies or a little bit of dust.

  10. 220,000 tons of snow on RCW Stadium.  It takes 1/2 a day to remove 1 foot of snow from the stadium.  The snow could fill our field house 8 times.  

     

    If you want free tickets go up there, shovel snow for $10/hr and you'll get tickets.

     

    Bills cancelled practice today, players stranded, vehicles buried.  Anthony Dixon walked to the grocery store and pulled 4 sleds of food back to his house to be prepared for this; having been born and raised in the SE he had no idea it was like this.  His interview on NFLN was great!

     

     

    I guess I live under a rock.

    Are you going to be ok there? Or is this something the locals call a "dusting"?

    It's hard to understand if you do not know weather or live in the snow belt.  Imagine being downtown, at the stadium and getting 4", maybe a literal dusting.  Not far away, maybe South Park Mall there is 5-6'.  Then go to UNCC and it's clear skies and sunny, 15 degrees warmer.  This weather pattern stays for 1 full day.  Over the course of the day the snow falls at South Park all day, Panthers Stadium gets off and on flurries and the college is just any other winter day, sort of like it is here (at least in Davidson Co.).

     

    This is being called the worst snow storm in Bills history, which is sort of accurate.  The stadium wasn't being used during the Blizzard of 77.  Some of you young'ns may not know about it but it was like the Atlanta snow storm last year times 100 inches of snow, 40 foot snow drifts and 80 mph winds.  It came on that fast, stranding people on the side of the road, in their offices and wherever they stood.  23 people died as a direct result.  The City of Neighbors did everything they could to take in stranded residents and provide for them as the military airlifted special snow removal equipment.  

     

    In 2003, WNY received 11' in one blizzard, in 2010 there was a 5' blizzard that covered a larger area.  This happens about every year in WNY - most people are only hearing about this one like they are because it is a little earlier then normal and the NFL is making a big what-do about it.

     

     

    Feel free to check our Bills board - here - about it, with pictures and info about our Bills family friends, neighbors and family still there.

     

    Dude, I can't even imagine these people up in NY state... holy crap... 70" of snow in like 3 days.  

    snowdog___Content.jpg

     

    It was more like 60 inches in 24 hours and 10 inches since.  It began Monday at halftime - those that went to the Panthers @ Bills in 2013 likely remember Pinto Kenny's tailgate area - that area had 5" at halftime MNF.  It now sits with over 5' and drifts over 9', entirely covering some houses.

     

    @salmaiorana
    Doing the math, which I'm not great at, I would estimate the cost of snow removal at the Ralph surely will approach half a million dollars
  11. Over 6 foot in less then 24 hrs in Orchard Park, Ralph C Wilson Stadium. God I wish the game was played in this.

    Not as bad as some in the last 5-10 yrs but go out there and look at the pictures. Blizzard of 77 people were walking on top of snow that was over tractor trailers.

  12. I am better then an almanac, it's going to be a bad winter, worse then last year.  I checked the simmons, checked the wolly worms (when i can even find them this year!), added the foggy days, checked with ironwood.

     

    We're fuged

     

    But, it's not like Buffalo.  This taken this morning.  Wall of snow.

    Yes, it's real.

     

    Bills players reacting to the snow, including Mario Williams' and his badass truck and using a skidsteer to clear snow.

  13. Haven't been able to work out since Monday.  I have a pretty gnarly bruise on my right arm from blood work and intravenous meds.  My entire right arm along the inside has a super ugly looking booger-colored bruise on it.  Can barely move it right now.  poo sucks.  Hopefully I'm back at it by Monday.  Definitely have that stir crazy feeling right now.

     

    try arnica gel.  it works.

  14. I live in Winnipeg so nowhere near Asheboro. As you may remember I fried my hands on a BBQ in August and have ran out of favors from my gf haha.

    So far it's obvious that I need to keep moving around. As soon as I lay down it locks up and I'm down for the count. But yeah I'm working on the massage thingy.

    I have a bad memory with details like this, my bad.

    Take an anti inflam, if you haven't already.  Your back, or any muscle, knots up when it loses tension.  Your back was/is normally tight more then likely and when the muscle loosened it likely did so suddenly and in your movement.  As soon as it loosed it tensed up and and made the knot that is causing the pain.

     

    Most people do not understand the whole knotting up, contraction of muscle is actually often due to the muscle relaxing and releasing.  The massage will relax the muscle and reduce the knot and tension on your back.  If you keep it tensed up and you hobble around in a manner which reduces the pain on the area it is keeping it tensed up.  Allowing your back to loosen up by laying flat with a heating pad under the area while raising your legs to a 90degree angle will relax the lower back and be extremely painful but it is a surefire way to get it to subside quickly.  It will be tender for a while but laying down a good 30-45 minutes will help.

     

    Heat it up and warm it up for the first 24-36 hours to keep it moving and functioning.  Leaving it locked up and putting further pressure on it could lead to herniated discs and other long term issues.  After 36 hours begin icing it to help the muscle heal.  Don't plan on working out for at least a week.

     

    ***I am no medical expert.  I am not trained in medical anything and can hardly tie my shoelaces.  This idea is a suggestion and might not work for everyone.  Take it at your own risk - (((but it will help))) and just be careful.

  15. Holy eff. Just threw out my lower back putting down weight at the gym. I've never felt anything like this before.

    Fugging pos body, couldn't take better care of the damn thing and I can just tell it's about done. 26 years old. Roman Harper syndrome.

    Find a good chiropractor.  It'll help heal faster.  Don't rush back.  Find a chick to give you a good massage or pay for a real one.

     

    If you're not far from Asheboro I can recommend a good chiropractor.
