Strength Training Thread

You mean they're finally going to be men? lol JK guys!

I've heard stories about JBallz. If he puts his head into this he will be a force to be reckoned with.

I've seen Brutus lift with my own two eyes. The guy with a barbell in his hands is like a pitbull with a steak in his mouth. He will not let go until he's done and ready.

They will both turn heads for sure.

I must check out their log.

Are they strictly Bodybuilders?

The few pics I've seen of them they look pretty damn intimidating..

They've done bodybuilding style workouts until now from what I know. Brutus came for a visit and lifted with coach and me and was bit by the bug and decided to try his hand a strength training. He talked JBallz into it and now we have ourselves to fresh converts come October.

I've seen one or two pics of JBallz and in both he was swole as fuck. I've seen Brutus in person and I'd not want to be in a dark alley alone with him with a steak in my hand

Sounds good. Looking forward to their strength journey.
 
Ozzy,

1) how many days a week would you ideally like to train?
2) do you have holes to compete in strength sports or just want to get stronger?
3) any injuries that are limiting you currently or any significant injuries in the past?
4) would you prefer a program you can follow without much thought and just plug numbers into or a template in which you'd be making more decisions about?
5) how long would you realistically be willing to follow such a plan? Just a rough estimate.
6) are you willing to cut down on lifts that aren't needed and stick to a small set of lifts or do you like lots of variety?
7) do you train alone or with a partner?
8) would you be willing to take vids of your form for private critiquing or rather stay more anonymous?
9) what are your full stats?

You can PM the answers or certain ones if you wish to not post here

Answers
1. Ideally 6 days, but that is ideally
2. Right now just want to get stronger, alot stronger
3. No injuries at all, Im 100%
4. I like my training to be very hands on but Im open to anything since this will be a first for me.
5. If I like strength training I would follow the length of any protocol to the end, even if its a year.
6. Im willing to stick to a small set of lifts
7. I train alone, but have alot of guys that compete when I go, kinda how I got interested.
8. I can take vids, its no problem
9. Stats; as of today I am 190lbs, 6ft around 12%bf. I was trying to get to sub 10% but willing to sacrifice that goal for strength.
 
For the most part my experience has been bro lifts, your basic gym rat, didnt get super serious about it till I joined Meso a year ago. Ive been mainly doing BBing but ready for a change. Like I said above, theres a lot of guys that compete when I go to the gym as its right next to the olympic training center. Some of these dudes look tiny but can dl and squat some serious weight. One dude was squating 405 the other day like nothing. So Im ready to get a program in line and start pushing real weight for once.

I almost dont want to see what doc looks like. It might ruin the image in my head. I picture a guy in a lab coat and a singlet dling huge weights. With a monocle on.
Its actually funny. Everyone here that has an avi thats not them, I think thats what they actually look like.

Ive never been worried as far as pics go , Im no steroid seller and have nothing to hide from anyone . When I leave these forums I"ll have plenty of pics and stories to tell ...

I'd have to give that some serious thought OGH. I won't rule it out completely but I've only ever posted one pic of myself on my home board and it was a leg shot from the knee down lol

Forget it . If you have to think about it then dont do it . Some do and some dont . As long as Brutus has met you and trusts you I trust you ...:cool:
