Weights

[Jwrussell]

Specifically, lifting them?

Who out there does it on a regular basis? Gym or home? Favorite work outs? I'm hurting today after a new chest workout yesterday so figured I'd see who else out there is abusing their muscles. :wink:

Used to do a rotating workout scheme with weights, but transitioned into more aerobic workouts as of late to keep weight/blood pressure down.

I abused mine today with a chest workout... First time in a long time because of the knee surgery, but damn it feels good to get back out there...

Worked out consistently for about 15 years. did the whole "I just want to get big and die" thing and now am looking forward to starting again once the rotator cuff tear mends.

A twelve ounce curl right about now.....doing reps as a matter of fact. :jitb:

Well, my daughter weighs about 27 pounds and I lift her up about 20 times a day during the week...that takes care of the back and biceps.

I'm pushin' about 205 on the scale and lift my ass out of bed and my chair everyday so that takes care of the rest of it IMO.

I've been weight training since about 8th grade, and I also ride my bike 30 miles or so a day..

I hate lifting weights, they're heavy. But I do it about three times a week. The other days I try to do aerobic exercise or go for a bike ride when the weather is nice. If I don't work out, I gain weight. Damn this getting old crap!

I lift weights about 5-6 days a week. But lately, school has been getting in the way and I haven't had enough time to devote to it. I mainly do inclines when it comes to chest with sopme flats thrown in. I gotta workout or else i gain weight like crazy!

 

[Wasch_24]

To you guys that lift to stop weight gain...


Why fight it? Embrace it! :hysterica

LOL. We can't all be as cool as you Todd!:grinFU:


I used to workout fairly consistently when we were in our last house, but when we moved I had to pack up all the weights and the bench as we moved into an apartment before finding the new house. Went to the Y during that period, but personally, I can't stand gyms. I want to be able to do what I want to do, when I want to do it without waiting for people to get off the equipment I want to use. Not to mention it can be hard enough to fit in the time without having to drive back and forth. So, long story short, I got lazy and stopped working out, and now I'm paying for it. :hysterica

 

[MadAl]

You still hurting?

 

[tobby4]

damn I am hurting from yesterday, that is for sure... but it feels good in a way...

And cup holders for my bloody mary.....

 

[MadAl]

My gym has cup holders

 

[Jwrussell]

Yep, still hurting some from the chest workout, but the leg workout from yesterday is taking its tole as well! :rofl:

 

[MadAl]

I never take the fitness test or a "free workout" with a trainer anymore. Did that twice when I had taken time off from moves etc. Always ended up with screaming pec tendons. I can start perfectly well by myself.

Back in high school, we used to work out at a seedy little hole in the wall gym by the school because they would let us smoke in the gym...
