I won't laugh at you for crossfit. The average crossiftter is stronger and more skilled at powerlifting and weightlifting (Olympic style) than the average guy by far. Take some dude off the street and stick him in a squat rack and he's going to fall over before he ever does a bodyweight squat correctly. He wouldn't be capable of a light deadlift or even more than 20 pushups. Take an average crossfitter and he's going to be comfortable in a squat rack, can toss his lawn mower into the back of a truck without hurting himself, can jog around coaching kids soccer, can overhead squat (a pinnacle of mobility imo) and rip out a few burpees without breathing hard. Crossfit gets a bad name only from the people who don't do it and are looking for reasons to justify their fatness. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I don't like the gym. It's full of meathead shitstains and smoking hot distracting ladies. I hate having to conjur up my own workout and I don't like doing the same boring ass routine over and over then have to think up some other new workout. Laugh at me all you want, but that's why I started doing Cf. I don't have to think about shit, it's always different, and everyone at my gym is super cool. I am waaaay stronger than I was before and I look a lot better too. I've seen a lot of fatties come through, most quit but one older gal has lost 70lbs. Crazy.

5'11" and a buck 60?....... Shit.......please. Sounds like your a hard gainer. I'm the same height, and my fighting weight is 220-225........ You could be like Bradley M. It will take about 3-4 years, lifting 5-6 days a week, no less than three muscle movements, and to failure. Plus you're going to need to eat about 240 grams a day worth of chicken breast, steak, or fish. And, eat a big bowl of oatmeal about 1.5 hours before you lift. I can get to 255 in 5-6 months by being fat and lazy. Still wear 38-40 waist. However, I can get back to 220 and have chesticles and slight abs in 3 months. I'm the opposite end of the spectrum. I'll never be a buck 60. I looked like an Ethiopian at 175 in my high school pictures. With discipline and nutrition, I could be a lean 250-260 in a few years. Maybe 3 or so. Lifting everyday is a fuck ton of work. TL:DR You need some cardio. You need some resistance training, whatever that may be 2-3x per week. Eat at least your weight grams to pounds in quality protein of whatever form. Learn to like fruits, veggies, rice and oatmeal at an equivalent gram/body weight ratio and go enjoy life. Stop worrying about what you're not. A healthy whatever weight is better than unhealthy at any weight. View Quote BUT I'M NOT WEAK!!!! |

Unless your body building or doing some crazy calorie intensive things every day, you can't eat like a 250 pound body builder does. It's science. Calories divided by thermodynamics times muscle synthesis equal phatness. Expressed mathematicsly (C/T)chesticles=PHT All horseshit aside, the 300 lb fatty will never be 160 for the same reason the 160 guy probably won't ever be like the Dwayne Johnson's. So instead of fighting genetics, I say run with what you got. Forget what the scale says all the time. Shoot for 10-15 percent body fat. Lift, climb, ruck, CrossFit..... It doesn't really matter what you do. Find something you like and you can fit into your lifestyle. Eat better most of the time. That's it. Find a method that you like and works for you. You're not everyone else, they're not you. It's really just that simple. |

How long ago was 435? That's right about where I am now, maybe a bit above that but not much. I got 7 reps at 375 the other day but maxed out at 425 a few days before that, so I'm better at reps right now than peak weight. I'm sure if I lifted more frequently in that 90%+ range I'd get up to 450 pretty fast. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
