That's the stuff; a great workout! And an admirable/achievable goal. Did you put that together yourself?

The spidey routine is from a geekologie article that has a ton of superhero/gamer/scifi themed routines depending on the look youre going for. search ' geekologie superhero workouts and it should be the first result on google.

i try to make this the weekly routine when im not lazy and fall asleep :
M: spidey workout beginner tier - pushups (150+) - bicep curls into shoulder press (3 sets)
T:spidey workout beginner tier - pullups (60 pullups - whatever number sets works for you)
W:repeat Monday
Th:repeat tues
rest fri- sun but also try to ride at least 3 miles on bike during the weekend.

So the first thing that I started to do before all this happened was to get into better shape. While most of my family and friends thought I was thin, I didn’t believe I was suitable for a spandex costume. After seeing Andrew Garfield in the new ASM1 garb I felt more comfortable about trying it.

I started researching Spidey suits. I rediscovered the RPF after a 6 year hiatus. I found Luna and Orhadar that really gave me the confidence to go through with the project. I’ve been doing P90, P90X1-3 and INSANITY for years. It wasn’t until last year I began to eat. A LOT!!! Too much activity and I’ve only gained an inch - to the good areas. But took away what clothes have always disguised naturally – another few inches around the cage.

I share these with hesitation so go easy on me.

I feel left out, while I know most of you aren't looking to get to where I'm at or my point most of you just want to look good in your spideys suit which Im sure you all do, you're just being a bit to harsh on your selves.
Just keep working at it, don't be afraid to lift. You won't grow into a huge beast overnight, even if you weight train conistently the only way you grow and get bigger is if you're on a caloric surplus and your goal is to get bigger. Now some of you are on them yes, you will grow overtime but you wont wake up one morning being huge and not how you want. Hopefully that makes sense, any questions?
I started about 4 years ago at 110 lbs, I'm currently 150 lbs around 11-12%
I was 160 lbs over summer, at 20% bf finished my bulking. Maintained my weight, lost my water retention and on a empty stomach would vary anywhere from 150-155. Started to cur and cut down to 130 lbs and was 10% bf, bulked back up again and currently 150 lbs between 11-12% bf.
I was bulking at around 4000-5000 calories when I first started lifting, got that in with meals and weight gainer shakes.
Work out was just 2 bodypart a day 6 times a week. For ex chest/tri monday, bi/back tuesday, legs and shoulder wed and repeat that another 3 days for a total of 6 days. One day I would do abs and the other would be cardio which totaled out to 3 days abs 3 days cardio.
I'll leave my ********* picture. xD

Thank you sir
My end goal is to hit the stages around 160 lbs in the single digit bodyfat level, which won't be for around another 2 years.
Interested in how I'm going to look in my amazing spiderman suit I'm working on since it was meant for a taller slimmer leaner look.

Actually I am cha0tic. Nice transition by the way! I am 44 though so its a little harder to bulk up and here's why;

I was never a lifter and always a runner. My high school weight was 128lbs. sopping wet. I am certain I am or was at least predominantly composed of Type I muscle fibers. When I started working out about 3 years ago, at 155lbs 5'-10" that was the first photo. I dropped to 132lbs and 9% body fat.

I was working out 7 days/week, three of which were weights, 2 day cardio and one stretch. I turned to Insanity but burned off too much so backed off to just three days of weights and no more. I have slowly added more muscle and after 2 years up to 148lbs 11% body fat. 36" chest and 30" waist.

Re: TASM Fitness Thread. Get your Spidey Physique tips on exercise and nutrition here

I probably have some type of tendinitis in my knee, caused from leg workouts , heavy squats , jump rope, snow skiing , football and mickael jackson style dancing. I know it's not a torn acl cause it slowly came on. But now I can't really work out legs. I was doing a 3 day full body wkout now I'm going to do alot of body weight workouts. I got a pull up bar, going to get a weighted vest so I can do weighted dips, pull ups/ push-ups. Maybe get two sets of dumb bells. Keep it simple

Hey Soulgypsy. Its probably your iliotibial band and glut medius. At least it sounds like it. Its a pretty common imbalance weakness along with a few other things. It may have even started with an improper form and manifested from there.

For instance you could have a tight hamstring on one side, tight iliopsoas on the other. Or a restricted or dysfunctional Sacroiliac joint. Or even further down, you are overpronating in the feet or foot.

What worked for me was foam rolling and Yoga. Particularly the pigeon stretch.

That's good to hear, keep at it. The only way you're going to increase size is getting a caloric surplus, aim for 500+ for maintenance calories which should lead you to 1 lb a week. These numbers could be wrong since you're older I'm not honestly sure. My dad is going on 41 and 5'8 currently 200 lbs, he's like the bigger look, like all out size is what he likes.
I'm more of mixing size and leanes, I'm trained several people but never someone much older than there mid 20's. But I assume its the same, maybe a bit longer and slower the process. Just get on a caloric surplus, you may need more than 500+, so test that see how much you gain a week and then go up or down from there. Your workout, I would stay away from p90x and insanity as they're mainly there as giant cardio workout and to help me lose weight. p90x even at that I wouldn't know if I would bulk up using it, I've done it a while back. I much rather stick with my splits or another split, with the rep range of 8-12 and 3 sets, or 4 sets including a super or drop set
And get your sleep to at least 7+ hours a night. And all this should do you good and get you to where you want to get, slowly but surely.

Re: TASM Fitness Thread. Get your Spidey Physique tips on exercise and nutrition here

Hey all. First, I'd like to say "thank you" to this board in general and this thread specifically for giving me the inspiration and motivation to get back into a workout routine and work towards getting into Spidey shape.

I'm mostly trying to cut fat since I have muscle, I've just let it get hidden underneath layers of jiggly unpleasantness. I've been doing mostly HIIT/cardio stuff supplemented with a bit of strength training. I'm not on a strict diet but I've been eating significantly better than I had been for a while. My main question, however, regards post-workout nutrition. I've seen a bunch of places claim that you should have a 4:1 carbrotein intake ratio in your recovery window after a workout, but I've also seen many claims of having a protein shake or the like after a workout. Is one "better" than the other? Does it depend on the type of workout you're doing that day, or the goals you're aiming for? I feel like post-workout is an important time to get things right to keep the body healthy and fitness goals on track.
I apologize if this is a dumb question or if it's been answered somewhere in the thread already, but it's easy to miss something when you're working through 50+ pages of a thread and I've seen so much conflicting information elsewhere that I'm not sure what's best, or if either of them are even best at all.

Thanks in advance for any help, and good luck to all the rest of you in reaching your own personal fitness goals.

I just got me the app for my tablet from HASfit ^^
They offer many workouts and also fitness programs.
I started a abs program and do it besides my normal routine.
But they have great stuff i think. Also diet plans ^^

Paralysis from too much information is common. Don't sweat tiny little details like that until you get your calories correct. Once you get your calories correct get your macros correct (protein/carbs/fats). Then worry about the days/times of your macros. Then you can start to do the little tweaks. Some of these things tend to overlap - it's easier to get your calories correct as your macros get closer to the 'ideal'.

Diet > cardio. All day long. Getting your protein in after a workout is good, but honestly, it's not necessary as long as you're hitting your calories. If it makes you feel better, do it.
