Crossfit?

I thought it meant doing two different sets consecutively. Doesn't need to be different body part but different than previous set.

Mea Gulpa. I guess you're right. I've only done opposing muscle group super sets. It makes you realize how much your opposing muscles help stabilize the opposite movements.
skipping leg day is hilarious. biggest muscles in your body, working them out releases the most testosterone, will help your running, etc. but hey what do i know.
and on the pics, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet (brunette in pic1 on the left and in pic2) is pretty damn cute. i would say that was a bad example of not good looking crossfit chicks. there are plenty of others who are completely gross.

Super Set: Consecutive sets of different excercises on different muscle groups
Compound Set: Consecutive sets of different exercises on same muscle groups
Doing legs is a pretty "bro" thing to do when you're in your 20s. I'll wait until I'm 30 to start up leg work again.

I don't get why legs is a bro thing. I would say not doing them is more bro. If you don't workout your legs, you're losing explosiveness and stability.
Yeah I don't see how you can effectively do a group of excercises without some core and legs worked in. Let's say you do 3 sets of incline-bench dumb bell bench presses - are you really going to go straight into biceps/triceps or shoulders/back with no rest? Mix it up and go to the squat rack.
Nope, not that simple
Like I said:
Compound set: same muscle group (e.g. bench press immediately followed up with flies)
Superset: different muscle groups (e.g. bench press immediately followed up with rows)
If you don't want to take my word for it, google it.

If nn1188 decided to start working on his legs, perhaps he could develop enough jumping ability to dunk a tennis ball
To clarify, a compound set would be some scaffolding pullups followed by punching someone in the face and a superset would be the pullups followed by kicking someone in the balls. Of course you wind up being shot after either.
Biggest bro thread ever...
Biggest bro thread ever...
Term has been around since at least the early 90's when I was involved in that line of work.
Really not a big deal what you call it to tell you the truth and I fully realize most people get the name wrong. Again, who gives a shit what you call it.
This chick must be related to the other dude who made up this innovative new term.

Exactly. Legs are the anti-bro workout.
Would love to know how they are "boring". This dude falling asleep between sets of squats or something?
Doing legs suck. Not fun. But boring? Come on.
Reminds me of my old roommate who was too lazy to do legs. Had a classic excuse:
"My legs grow fast so I won't be able to fit in my pants."
Meanwhile he'd blast his arms for 45 minutes while clad in his sweet wife-beater. Curls for the girls!

Not sure yet but would assume around 4.5. Haven't seen a number yet. Might go over on receiving yards. Imagine those will be high 40'S-50. Whichever number I like better is my inclination. Think he'll cAtchison a bunch of balls tonight. Don't want Vick looking too far down field. Brown should catch a ton but that number will probably be 8.5ish on receptions.
Maybe if it was a 9'6" hoop. Or was it 8'6" in ADP's driveway?
Legs were anti-bro until bros starting realizing they were getting sh*t on for not being able to squat. So now a bunch of meat heads just do that instead and ask how much you squat or deadlift.

If I'm gdog, I would say - "lay wood on the Steelers tonight. I beat Duce Staley's cousin in a game of roughhouse at the LA Fitness in Norristown last night."
I just started getting in the gym again and I am really sore and need a few days off before I can lift again. I am not one of those meatskulls who is going to "FIGHT THROUGH IT!" because I think that is retarded, but the more I lift and get back into the routine the less sore I am going to be correct?

Yes. Don't fight through the initial re-aclimation soreness. Fight through minor soreness once you're back in the routine though.
-155 awful number. I'll be interested to see what I get later tonight. I'll post it.
No, I like the over. Great number to keep smart guys like me of it. I'm hoping for a better one.
ha. So you wouldn't bet Under at +200... +300... +350...etc?
"smart guys" (sharps) ready to bet either side depending on the number. And by number, I mean the juice, not the 4.5.
Please do update me on what your bookie posts. Can't imagine him being way off. But there are a ton of dumb bookies out there

No, I didn't say at +200 etc..value there. I'll let you know. I'm sure it will be similar because it's all run through the DR or Costa Rica. Not sure which service they use for the numbers but I'm sure it's the same ones the online guys use. Do regular neighborhood bookies really exist? some guy in a bar who never pays, you have to actually call one guy and hope he's around? I didn't know people still did that.
