the DOOM WORKOUT

[Iommic Pope]

YOU SIR, ARE A FUCKING CHAMPION!

Thanks, Vid! Nice intro.
I appreciate the Pantera reference, too!

[Bassus Sanguinis]

And I hoped for the original Candlemass doom stomp reference or something equally uplifting.

Stu-fucking-pendous. I will read every inch of this and love it and cherish it and take it to bed for nappy times.

Thanks man! I got into working out about 8 months ago - but have been really slacking since the wife got pregnant (we would always go to the gym together). That combined with the fact that I will have precious little time away from from work or home after the little one arrives means I really need to sort out a routine I can do with a pull up bar and some free weights at home. This will help immensely

DOOMercise...carrying large heavy cabs and amps up stairs and staking them to the sky.


Ill be working out twice this month haha

This is great dude, thank you. I weigh 130 and im about 6 feet tall and Im mostly interested in strength. If i gain a lil muscle/more definition im cool but really I want to be way stronger all around, it seems my back and shoulders and boobies are my weak points right now. When im doing work over my head my shoulders get tired quick. My jobs real physical so im much stronger than I look but I want some more stamina/strength regardless. ( POWER AND CONFIDENCE)

As far as food, I may have a gluten intolerance, so ive cut that out of my diet this week to see if that helps, but im basically tired and shitty ALL THE TIME. Hence why I never really worked out. Im looking forward to goin over this thread a few times and being a viking.

This is the least sexual pic of me without a shirt on I have, you can see how my chest and arms are a little thin. (Im the one with the beard)

I was tested for intolerances by a Chinese herbal clinic. They took a sample of my hair and sent it off to the UK for testing. The results came back stating I was intolerant, possibly allergic, to gluten, pollen, dust, animal dander, alcohol, and a couple of other things. So I cut out gluten as best I could for three months. No improvement. I'm back on wheat now as it's such a difficult to diet to maintain and I noticed no increase in energy or a decrease in allergic reactions. It wasn't worth it. I was trying to lose weight by eating healthier, then I suddenly found out I couldn't eat pasta and bread. I had heard this would eliminate easy to cook food, such as pasta and sandwiches, but it didn't help me cut back. It just depressed me.

Gluten intolerance isn't really a problem afaik when it comes to most of this, there's not a lot of stuff that contains gluten that i'd actively tell you to try to eat as much as possible of.

Thanks a fuckton Vidret, this is awesome. Any tips for the vegetarian or vegan Doom Roomers?

i can give you one or two things depending on if you're demi-vegetarian, lacto-ovo vegetarian, pure vegan or some other mumbo jumbo.

it'd also help to tell me WHY you are what you are

i'll be filling in the schedule during the week, i've got tests coming up. whoever wants to get started has no excuse not to learn all (six) exercises i've posted

Vegan - for moral reasons. Not here to bash on anyone or whine or convert, meat is fucking delicious and I miss the taste of many things, it's just not for me anymore. I should also note that my moral compass is fucked, no holier than thou from me.

Daniel,

I know the pain!! I nearly cried when I thought of not eatin pasta, but there is gluten free pasta and like. I am honnestly not sure whats going on with me so i will need more tests, for now im avoiding gluten just to see what happens.

An Vidret, yeah my beards grown a bit since then too, REPRESENT. Mostly I need more protein and just vitamins in general, but i cant take steaks to work for lunch everyday. Im also unable to really cook for myself where I live and any food I buy might be stolen from me haha. My closet is filled with snacks right now

Whats your take on miltivitamins and such, they bullshit or worth the effort? I tried 2 times for a few months each and noticed nothing so i stopped doin it.

[The Wood Wizard]

You are a good man. theres a stew leonards down the street, I shall suckle that cow teat daily. I used to eat cake for breakfast early everyday, 60 percent of my diet is candy/cookies hahaha Ill look into some shakes...

[The Wood Wizard]

OH GOD how bout this?

[yallerhon]

I do this for a living and I absolutely approve of all the info vidret has presented, as well as the way it's presented. Fucking top job and brilliant thread!

[humancertainty]

So awesome of you to do this thread. I've been doing calisthenics(weighted, non-weighted, unilateral, etc.) and have been thinking about adding weights to my training. It will mean going back to the gym and I really do like training at home but one obviously cannot replace the dead lift with calisthenics.
Brett, iherb.com has a lot of great vegan protein powders. You can find them at Whole Foods, too.
