Just wondering if anyone on this site has anything in common with me .

 

[triglad]

Ah i see,

So what do you train with a view of doing? Like is it for a sport or just to be stacked/fit and healthy?

I go to the gym mostly to be jacked but I also have to be reasonable due to hockey. ( I am trying to get to the NHL). I am working on getting signed with an OHL team, right now its a mixed situation.

Oh cool! So which OHL team are you going for? The London Knights?

I live in Ontario ~ Canada so I was looking at the Ottawa 67's,

I am not the most talented player ( not the top scorer) but I am a physical Center so we will see.

Its pretty much just a "whoever wants me" kinda thing.. and we will go from there.

I would like to stay where im at but if I have to move for a season or two (depending where it is) it would probably be cool.

So how long will it take you before it's your chance to get drafted in the NHL? omg that training must be very hard, I commend you on trying it!

So when do you have to go to Training camps or have you done any already?

 

[triglad]

Ah thats cool mate, i play rugby so it helps to have a bit of strength behind you. Lol. Nothing more embarrassing than gettin run over the top of. Heh, and i know!

The NHL I have no idea, I am only 17 right now and I still have to finish grade 12 and college courses.

I pretty much do yearly training, it seems I am always in Training camps or at The gym.

Haha yea,

Rugby eh? Im not crazy enough for that.

 

[triglad]

So what kind of stuff you into at the gym?

thats a lot different routines for each day

does your body heal that fast to be doing 4 days :S?

 

[NuckingFuts]

I just started again. I used to go 4-5 days a week until I broke my arm. Then I stopped. But I am getting ready to start a new job, were it is in my best intrest to get back into shape.

I would say that is a big myth in bodybuilding just like "it stunts your growth"

When I go to the gym I tend to work on different muscle groups I.E Lets say I worked on my biceps/triceps/forearms on monday I would leave them alone and work on a different muscle group.. lets say my quads/calves.

I usually give my arms 2 days to heal ( they heal faster cause they are a smaller muscle group) and my back/chest/legs around 3-4 days.

I have recently started taking "creatine" which helps in the healing process quite alot.

 

[GoDzMaRiNe]

~ If I did go to the gym just to work on a certain muscle group over and over again it would be excessive and I would get limited results compared to if I let them rest and heal.

Haha Nuckingfuts.. I love it!

where did you get that name from? It rings a bell somewhere.. hm.

thats what i mean haha... cuz a lot of the exercises train other parts of your body ... like ex: push ups trains the chest, shoulders and triceps.... just curious cuz i thought a lot of the workouts you picked each day train multi

for me... i like the 3 day plan :cool, since i run a lot, i need the days off to just to do that and since i cant afford a lot of thee supplements nor going to the gym XD


btw is there any results and also... are you a body builder :S

 

[GoDzMaRiNe]

Im a bodybuilding hockey player if that makes sense .

I have seen some results (a quarter inch more on both arms) - half an inch on shoulders.

It is not the best workout-plan but I have to switch it up so I dont plateau.

Are you a runner? And if so what kind ~ triathlons/100m/200m/400m/1200 etc..? or do you just run to stay in shape?

Cause for running bro, I would stick with Circuit training.
