muggs Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I lift 4x a week, but I'm not really what I'd consider a "weightlifter." I mostly do it to stay in shape, and although I enjoy it, I don't really consider it a hobby. I have a couple friends who are really into it and compete etc...

MUDRUNNER Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I lift 4 or 5X a week.Not for competing or anything,but I just want to stay healthy, stay in shape, and look younger than I really am.LOL.When I turned 30 I decided to start taking a little better care of myself...better late than never.I'm taking 2 weeks of now due to moving,but plan on getting back at it next week.

Swamphunter Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I lift frequently...not heavy anymore. Train more for martial arts now than anything. Have had a couple of surgeries, dealing with elbow tendonitis right now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Folks, I know Fatty and Fatty knows me so I can get away with saying this to him. You wouldn't need to lift so much if you weren't such a girly-man!!!

unioncountyslayer Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I lift 5 days a week, but don't compete anymore. I had more injuries than I care to remember from competing in lifting competitions. But I still love to get in the gym during the week to stay cut up. Did compete in a few "Clean" bodybuilding competitions a few years back. I'm about 50 lbs lighter than I was back in those days. Good luck to ya and be careful.

Dawg Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I don't lift weights unless you count a fork full of food!! But I do sit-ups....well actually a "sit-up"....half when I wake up and get out of bed and the other half when I lay back down!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I really enjoy lifting but haven't done it in quite awhile. I hope to get back to it...and stick with it SOON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveGP Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 i am in the gym or out doing some cardio almost every day, i run a three day split and then do a cardio day and then a day off or i might start the 3 day split over, depends on how i feel. you have to let your body recover, sometimes a few days off and you feel like a brand new man. i wouldnt have to work out so much if i would eat better!

Guest bonecollector34 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I try and compete at least once a year. I am pretty serious with lifting and my hunting. I cannot do anything half ass or w/o being obsessed my wife says. I lift 4x week, 3 of those days I finish with cardio. I have competed in about 25 competitons and as training for the Europa Pro raw benchpress competition taking place in Dallas in the middle of August. this will be my 1st professional competition. My best benchpress equipped is 610lbs and my best in the raw division is 515lbs. Obviously raw is much harder, no equipment allowed. I am about 6'1" and compete at 275 pounds. Chest 56", shoulders 65" and arms a tiny 20" cold. I will post a picture some time, then you guys can make fun of me and understand why i am known as "fatty". Glad to see so many lifters, even if some are 12 oz'ers. Train safe fatty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Not so much any more. I lifted hard for the better part of roughly 6 years. In the past year and a half I haven't dont much. Life got way to busy, especially after my daughter was born. Id love to get back in the Gym but work and life take up way to much time for me. Not so very long ago my body fat was almost in the single digits. I was benching close to twice my body weight. I had lats, defined delts, and could run two miles without taking a deep breath...... Now I walk across the room, pick up a Twinkie, and I have to take a break on the way back to the couch.... Seriously, I miss it a lot.
