Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Your workout routine

    I thought that maybe we could all post our routines so that we could not only draw on examples from each other, but to show the abundance of "newbies" (not meant derogatorily) to lifting the kind of workouts we really like, perform, and gain from. I'll kick things off:

    I train Jiu-Jitsu 4 days per week (for about 1.5 hours, that includes about 6 X [3 minute ab workout with medicine ball], for a sum of 18 minutes), and lift usually 2-3 times per week. I'm certainly no expert on lifting, but here's what I do:

    The last couple of weeks I've been going back to Olympic lifts (which I like a lot, I'm going to be phasing them in much more).

    One sample workout might be (not counting warm-up sets):
    4x6 dead lifts
    5 sets dips
    4x8 standing overhead dumbbell press
    4x6 palm-in, close-grip lat pull-downs

    Another weight workout might be:
    4x6 squats
    5x5 cable rows
    5x6 bench press
    3 sets of handstand pushups

    I allow myself a lot of flexibility in my routine. If I need a day off, or I can't train, then I just skip a day and try to pick up where I left off. I hope to start road work (about 2-3 miles combined run/sprint per day) shortly.

    How about the rest of you?

    I can't do any form of martial arts because of my knee. So I stick to lifting weights and riding my stationary bike.

    For lifting, I lift 4-5 times a week depending on my schedule. Sometimes you just are to tired to lift..I have a setup in my garage, olympic weight bench and weights. I do bench press, military presses, bicep curls and work my triceps. I ride the bike 3-4 times a week.

    I do 300 situps everyday also. Have a long way to go in that area. 8)

      My work out routine includes stretching in the morning as I get out of bed.

      Moving around the day.

      Yawning before I go to sleep.

          I would recommend you gargle with some alcohol to cure the insomnia, or just call me 8)

            I know that. The meaning of "I have a long way to go" is I just started again recently, you can't expect results overnight.

                  What makes YOU so knowledgeable about bodybuilding/conditioning? Somebody taught you didn't they?

                    yeah Emil
                    that's Omni... what else is new..
                    he's got a "fixed up" body, he's thinkin he's perfect in every aspects of life!
                    I wish there were bullets to kill someone's ego...

                    when it comes to me... I run at least 3 miles a day about 5-6 times a week... along with some sit-ups, leg lifts and butt exercises... I don't really lift... I'm afraid lifting makes a girl's body like Serena Williams'...
                    I refuse to have a body like that!
