OT: Leafs Lounge V107:1 for 11? My Fantasy Team Lives!

This?

:big laugh:

No!

 

[charliolemieux]

This?

Similar. The cables lift the weights.
The actual Bench Press would have the guy lying flat on his back.

 

[MeowLeafs]

This?

 

[charliolemieux]

:big laugh:

No!

That is a type of universal machine. Cable pulley system to lift weights. Thats all it is.

 

[charliolemieux]

This?

Yup.

Got several types, for many exercises.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Well that's just it. The weight you are using seems high to be doing that many reps.

It is a lot, but I also keep the weight down on my other exercises .. My chest was weak as hell when I was younger, so I've been looking to get it a lot stronger over the years

That's a misconception. High reps does not equal a tonned body. A toned body is entirely to do your diet and cardio but all a higher number of reps do is build up your slow twitch muscle fibers.

Rain on my parade

I do a lot of cardio actually, and have cut down on the crappy foods I ate, all of it together has worked nicely for me

Speaking of which, I have yoga tomorrow night and hockey right after .. Thursday might be sore

 

[Kyle93]

I used to research about building muscle when I was younger and taught myself about muscle fibers and pretty much everything building muscle related.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

I need to start hitting the gym regularly from tomorrow again. ****ing Leafs games are killing me.

I think I've gone a combined 10 days since the season started.

Higher reps does equal more toning but not 20 reps in one shot like Bert is doing with a still fairly heavy weight.

Do 5 sets of 10 bench press with 140lbs. That is for toning.

Combining it with cardio is the best. thats why the p90x type stuff works so well.

High heart rate while doing strength exercises.

Trust me I know. Learning about building muscle was a big interest to me in highschool and researched*everything about it. Im not sure why though but I know as much as all personal trainers know.

Same.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hurt's gonna be mad he's missing out on all this gym/exercise talk

 

[Hurt]

P90X Cardio is intense.

Same.

Been through a few rehab stints too. Nothing llike starting from scratch, with a muscle you used to take for granted.

 

[Kyle93]

You guys ever do cross fit? Fun stuff..

 

[Phion Keneuf]

My arms/chest are pretty weak lol

But I can do 600ish pounds on my legs

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Yea, toned = low body fat %. You get that by eating well and doing cardio to get rid of the fat.

Lifting is for building your muscles.

 

[Kyle93]

Same.

True, but not 100% true because of muscle memory.

Getting back to the gym after I broke my right hand a couple years ago was tough ... Getting a strong grip plus the strength and flexibility in my wrist took awhile

 

[Kyle93]

I hate the common misconception from girls is that lifting weights will bulk girls up

And by that you mean you will be too sore to sit up so will have to go to bed and not watch the leafs game, right? Rightttt? RIGHTTTT!!!!!?

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Who knew Pizza eating Kyle is the LL trainer

 

[BertCorbeau]

And by that you mean you will be too sore to sit up so will have to go to bed and not watch the leafs game, right? Rightttt? RIGHTTTT!!!!!?

Um, suuuure

 

[charliolemieux]

I have had to rehab my back, and both shoulders.

You feel like a wimp when they have you lifting 5lb weights and after 4 or 5 reps **** starts to hurt.

 

[charliolemieux]

So why'd Kipper leave the game tonight?

Lower body is all I heard.
