Sure, but the intent behind him quoting it was a mystery. It sounded like he was bragging.
He's 162, no it didn't.0 -

Nothing wrong with the stats and goals that he posted. Looked good to me. Also this is just about the most famous quote ever in bodybuilding. I can't believe some of the people here didn't get that.

I straight missed it- nothing in his post referenced it other than the quote- and quite frankly- its' rare you see straight bodybuilding stuff come up in the general forums- you'll see it more in the gaining section- so yeah- I definitely missed it. (also I'm more power than body- so- well why I love Coleman- it's not like he jumps into my head for famous quotes right off the bat)
but yeah- got it now- coleman- no one wants to do the work- they just want to look like it. check check. it happens. mai bad. <insert internet apology for my general snarky douchebaggery>0 -
Yep, just a quote. Maybe tongue in cheek humor doesn't translate well over the internet lol anyway I've only been lifting for about 4 weeks and seeing as i never once stepped foot in a weight room before it goes without saying I dont have a lot of friends to go to for advice, etc. Which was the whole purpose of this post to begin with (not to call anyone out or brag about 4 weeks worth of numbers lol)
This place needs a thumbs up smiley/emoji/whatever we call them now that I'm old and they have new names.

Agreed. Classic colon and paranthesis smileys for the win!0 -

yall are strong as all get out!
Lifting heavy is considered heavy for that individual. what I'm lifting now is heavy to me
@sarahlifts You look awesome!!!
Your stats are about the same as mine and your lifts are about the same!!!
Some very very strong girls on here actually some are so strong they should be competing in powerlifting comps!!! Cause they are reping weights heavier than the lifts that took out the powerlifting titles here where I live! And they are 1 rep max lifts for girls that train dam hard and totally dedicated to powerlifting........amazing!!! Surely puts my weights to shame!0 -

Body Stats: Male. 25. 5'10". 162 lbs. 13.6% bf.
Current Lifts (5x5): Bench Press-155. Squat-210. Row-125. DL-225. OHP-100
Body Goals: 185 lbs. 8% bf.
Strength Goals (5x5): Bench Press-225. Squat-315. Row-185. DL-400+. OHP-185.
If you're into working out, nutrition, goal-oriented, excited, and need/want more accountabilibuddies or just more MFP friends feel free to hit me up or add me!
Since you're new to this whole thing, I just want you to have realistic goals going in. Based on where you say you are now and what you say your goals are, it looks like you want to put on 30lbs of muscle while dropping 7 lbs of fat (162 to 185, 13.6% to 8%) If this happens, it's more than likely going to take you YEARS which is fine...I just want you to know that going in. A realistic interim goal if you want to put on some muscle, would be 185 at like 18%. That would give you 11-12lbs of added muscle and then you can cut some fat from there and do the whole process over again. You're going to gain some fat with the muscle. Maintaining your current BF is nearly impossible while adding any significant muscle and actually dropping your bodyfat is just that much harder.
This is more along the lines of the responses I was expecting lol thanks for your advice/input. I'm definitely in it for the long haul. Body goals posted are definitely longer term. However, I do have plenty of short term goals in mind to keep me motivated throughout the journey. Right now im focusing almost completely on strength so thats a priority over aesthetics.0 -

Thanks! Looking forward to the journey. I'm already enjoying the results I've seen in the past 4 weeks (when I began lifting). Lifts were tragically lower of you can believe it lol0 -
I used to focus on my 1RM numbers, but a shoulder injury last summer combined with approaching age 40 scared me into shifting my lifting plan to 10RM numbers instead. It's taking some getting used to, lifting a weight 10 times instead of just 2 or 3 times, lol. Still dialing in my numbers.
Oh, and just for thread continuity, my stats:
Age: 38.7
Ht: 5'9"
Wt: 192
BF: ??? (I'm guessing around 16-18%)
1RM (pre-injury): B-285, S-475, D-425
10RM (current): B-195, S-315, D-315 (Deadlift done in sets of 5)
Have you ntocied any significant body composition changes due to training w higher reps vs lower?0 -

This is the program I'm following. I've been running it for 4 weeks and like I mentioned in a previous response, my lifts were ridiculously low to begin with. Which edition are you running? I know the most recent one cuts out all accessory work while the 2nd edition includes chins, dips, planks, and push ups0 -

OHP vs Push Press? You should probably choose one over the other depending on what main lift your accessorizing.nakedraygun wrote: »Male 44. Around 210 lbs 13% BF.

I'm right now cutting weight, so no significant changes atm, though I am very happy to say my shoulders are pain free, which really is a wonderful feeling. You don't realize how great it is to NOT be in pain until you live with pain for several months.0 -

we were actually just talking about this over in the "show me your X,Y Z video" thread- about how push press is really great for explosive lifting- I personally prefer it to strict OHP- but quite frankly- I need size right now- not explosive powers- so strict press for me.

I don't really lift, but wanted to be in the cool thread.
42 yrs, 5'-10" 170 lbs. ~11-13% BF
the only 1RM I know is 340 deadlift0 -
Forever converting lbs to kg 0
-
5'11" ~200lbs (give or take a muffin or 2)
Haven't hit the platform yet and haven't maxed in a long while (except for deadz)…so...
Bench 265x6
OHP 150x5
Squats 255x6
Deadz 385x1 (failed at 405, while I got it up couldn't get it locked out)
Goals for this year
Bench 315x3
OHP 185x3
Squats 315x1 preferably 2
Deads lock that darn 405 out and hopefully hit 435-440.
Also, as you can see from above my upper body is wwaaayyy stronger than my lower. So my advice to you is keep pounding legs as hard and as often as you can. Trying to play catchup in your 40's suck…..0 -
Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it. You got this OP.0

love all these people bragging and putting you down, and trying to make it seem worse saying they are a girl. Really great attitude people. Anyways, good luck buddy, don't worry about braggers, they probably quarter squat.0

I'm usually not the one jumping to anyone's defense in the forums, but holy crap, people are harsh on this thread. If this is the weight I should be lifting as a female, then I guess we're both weak af. I've been lifting for two years and definitely can't squat anywhere near 350. I clearly don't even lift.

Good for you. You're at a good starting place.
FYI - It looks like your DL and OHP are a little out of whack with the BP and Squat goals.0
