I feel like those days are dead. Those dudes looking like that aren't what's good anymore.

A lot of powerlifters are shredded. My boy does a powerlifting meet one month and two months later hops in stage and gets first in both.

Someone at the gym was recommending dymatize iso 100 protein. Any thoughts?

 

[jon4rd]

I’m tryna be a powerbuilder

 

[getback]

What do you guys do for a warmup? Dynamic stretching? Light cardio?

I usually do a light 1 mile jog on my treadmill, but I'm looking for an alternative.

I believe I took it a long time ago. I personally liked it. Never had a problem with it. If I remember correctly isn't that the one with like no fat or lactose or carbs or something?

I shoot around in the basketball court to get warm. Recently I've added in balance/stability exercise to hit my core and stabilizers before my compounds. Single-leg balance with weight transfer on an airex pad for knee/ankle/hip stability and push-ups on the airex/balance board for shoulder/push stability.

Gotta keep the joints happy.

5 mins of some kind of cardio to get that blood flow going and heart rate up. Then i do 5-10 mins of dynamic stretching and resistance band work for the muscles im about to hit.
Ive grown so accustomed to warming up properly that if i dont my work out suffers.

 

[Maserati Fox]

I'll usually foam roll a little bit, depending on what I'm doing that day. T spine, lats, and pecs for upper body days and hamstrings, glutes, and quads for lower body days.



I do this warm up prior to any pressing.

 

[jamesandstl]

You guys are better than me lol. I used to just come on and go for broke......probably explains some of my issues now haha

 

[23kidd]

Ill do light stretches but nothing crazy.

No matter what day it is, i always start with regular pull ups to "warm up" and then end with pull ups, but with switching up the angles each day.

 

[m boiz]

I warm up with peoples max.

i have to walk to my gym so that and then a few warm up weights.

I use to just go too. my body hated me for that

 

[mplsdunk]

I just warm up with light weight and gradually increase it until I'm at working weight.

I don't stretch or anything. Like for squats I'll hit some pause squats at 135 a few sets. That's like stretching.

 

[soundview]

Hit a 200lb soundview on OHP just now.

It was a grinder but I got it.

Finished my 2 week mini cut and I'm sitting at 184ish now. Back to bulking.

Same.

I'm gonna need some PT/manual therapy. In my past life I overemphasized pushing movements WAY too much. My left subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) has been tight/inflamed for like a year. Just a warning to dudes who love bench day too much. I've since been enlightened.

Balanced workouts is KEY for shoulder health. Push/pull ration should be like 1:2. You should also balance horizontal/vertical pushing and pulling. If you're overhead pressing, you should be doing vertical pulls (chin up patterns, lat pulldowns, etc.). Same goes with horizontal movements.
