Bjorny · 10-23-2011, 01:23 AM

what's up, flounder? wanna teach me to work out and get ripped?

Bobby Swisha · 10-23-2011, 01:30 AM

Hey Flounder, wanna teach me how to tame a wild turtle? Thanks, dude

Zaquis · 10-23-2011, 03:29 AM

hey flounder, could you get me a coffee? i could use one

Crazy Ivan · 10-23-2011, 03:49 AM

Hey Flounder, does it ever piss you off? And is that? For?

Flounder · 10-24-2011, 01:23 AM

BR: I don't know much about turtles but if you needed to learn how to tame a semi-domesticated horse, I could possibly help teach you.

Bjorny: get a pullup bar. 3 day whole body split with calisthenics. Day 1: 100 pushups in however many sets it takes you, fast as you can. Day 2: ditto, 200 squats Day 3: ditto, 50 pullups, and repeat. You can do these sessions twice a week with one day of rest, adding another 50 reps each workout. When you're satisfied with how many reps you can blast out relative to how quickly you're doing them/how few sets you can complete them in, then you've probably built a solid foundation of muscular endurance at which point you can consider getting a gym membership or buying a barbell and do some Starting Strength or pick a weightlifting routine that you like. I would recommend starting with your bodyweight first, though. Calisthenics are completely legit and plenty of people train exclusively this way for their whole lives

thanks man, I appreciate it!

Phil Williamson · 10-24-2011, 12:20 PM

jesus I don't think I've ever even met anyone who could do 50 pullups
that's insane

Bobby Swisha · 10-24-2011, 04:14 PM

Can you teach me how to suck dick, Flounder?

Slade · 10-24-2011, 04:24 PM

i'm sure flounder made some sort of "if you were gonna suck dick how would you do it" thread years ago.

alas, i cannot find it.

Bobby Swisha · 10-24-2011, 04:27 PM

hey flounder, sometimes i wonder if you have any idea about what's the best way for money to launder, i wonder if you'd plunder a village of wild tigers in a jungle with magic vaginas?

I think he meant in multiple sets.

Although I can only really do 10 max, so it'd probably take me at least 6 sets.

Bobby Swisha · 10-24-2011, 09:14 PM

No but seriously, aren't you a vegan/vegetarian Flounder? What do you eat to build mass when you're a vegeterian? Or am I confusing you with somebody

Compcat · 10-25-2011, 12:06 AM

Are you ever going to change your avatar/sig?

Flounder · 10-25-2011, 03:19 AM

I was vegetarian for close to a year then vegan for a few years, now I eat fish and dairy. Peanut butter was what I did when bulking up vegan. Or rice/beans. Quinoa. Now I eat tuna sandwiches and drink whole milk, eat protein bars. Muscle milks from the gas station. Good shit

and yeah, my best ever on pullups was like 19 consecutively. I can't do 50 in a set but I could probably do 50 in a few quick sets. I'm not gonna say "yeah just do 50 fuckin' pullups, stop being a bitch" to someone who's new to working out.

Pizza The Hut · 10-25-2011, 04:20 PM

hahahah, it wouldn't even be possible to someone new - the muscles would give out

I should start doing pushups again, I was almost up to 100 (in one set) last year. but I pretty much stopped

Bjorny · 10-27-2011, 01:43 AM

okay, flounder. when I feel committed I'll make a work-out thread and you'll coach me. are you down?

Zaquis · 10-27-2011, 12:00 PM

that'd rule

Flounder · 10-31-2011, 05:05 AM

I absolutely am down. Master your bodyweight and then progress and progress until you are a sinewy animal.

Bjorny · 10-31-2011, 12:16 PM

deal, will make thread soon!

Bobby Swisha · 10-31-2011, 11:33 PM

hey Flounder, do you or don't you get down with The Meters?

Bjorny · 11-01-2011, 12:50 AM

the meters = awesome

Rabid Dinosaur · 11-01-2011, 01:05 AM

Doesn't a squat require a weight of some kind? Sorry, I'm retarded about exercising, but I'm interested in this routine.
