The Lifters Thread
 

Screw all these skinny runners and wannabe Lance Armstrongs. Anyone can see that lifting is where it's at. This is the thread to talk about real man exercise; squats, bench, power clean, dead lift.

So with that said, how much cha bench?

Re: The Lifters Thread
 

Nice. I'm in the gym minimum of 5 days a week. I love cardio, but weights are my real love. Free weights, machines, all of it.

I haven't maxed on bench in probably 3 years, but last time it was 345lbs. Keep in mind I'm 6'3 and about 215lbs, so it's not all that. I lifted really heavy when I was in my early/mid 20's. I'm 32 now (not like that's old, but still), and I don't really go very heavy all that often, with the exception of leg press. I'm not trying to win any bodybuilding competitions, and I'm not training for a pro sport, so I don't want to risk injury by trying to throw around 150lb dumbbells every day. I go for a balance of size and cut.

If you grunt when you pick something up put it down.

Lift the wrong way and you will grow tits.

Ew that's freaking gross. That has to be a side effect of some sort of steroid.

I know right? It's like he injected it into the actual nipple lol.

Still I have a hard time believing that Scud and I are the only two that enjoy lifting.

Too many exercise threads, makes me tired reading them.

That lady boy has a sweet 6pack

Re: The Lifters Thread
 

I used to be big into it. Was about 100 short of Elite Unequipped when I stopped, had just passed Master. Hell I haven't lifted consistently in about 6 years, makes me sick how far I got in a year and a half and then just stopped (was constantly sick, had to move, was broke, etc) and never got back going. I gotta get back into it soon.

Werd, didn't do proper post cycle therapy, no aromatase inhibitor had that isht turning to estrogen hence the gynecomastia.

Actually it's a medical condition called gynecomasia. Basically, puffy nips on a guy and it requires surgery to fix. You see it a lot on "chubby" guys but if they lose the weight and get cut, they're still there. It's just a case of having extra tissue in that area but it's not a sign of steroids or anything like that.


That guy has a severe case of it.

No, I don't have it...just know fitness-stuff. I try to lift at least 4-5 times a week and play basketball whenever I can. Not really into running for the sake of running.

I honestly thought that was due to roid use. My buddy had the surgery and never had puff nipples until doing roids.

Re: The Lifters Thread
 

There are plenty of guys who never even lifted that have this condition. Sometimes it doesn't look as obvious until after a big weight loss, but we've also seen those big guys who look like they need a bra.

Depending on certain hormones in some supplements, I guess it could show up. Some people (Manny Ramirez) take estrogen to mask testosterone supplements against testing. So I'm not saying it can't be from drug use, but it is a legit medical condition on its own.
