After not going to the gym for over a year I've recently joined anytime fitness. Today I tried to do some assisted dips & failed. I gotta get the little strength I had in my arms back. Anyway, everything else I did was excellent!! If I keep this up I'm gonna be a problem by summer.

Learning new shyt is bittersweet

I'm glad to finally be making some reliable gains.... but I'm pissed off with all the years I spent in the fukking wilderness :snoop:

I started lifting ~10 years ago.... probably only made the most out of 3-4 of those. No worries though, better late than never. Glad to have not been sidelined completely by any injuries but I definitely did some damage :francis: Onward and upward
It's a marathon not a sprint. The fact that you lift at all puts you ahead of 99% of people

@semtex My co-worker insisted I try and evaluate his back workout. Thought that shyt had too much bicep work. nikka claims I go too heavy on shyt...unless we bench pressing and then he wants to "Superman" it up. :hubie:


Gym partners are great when you two are in sync otherwise it's a pain...:dame:

Split squats I swear, are more challenging that actual squatting if you're doing the right amount of weight...:blessed:

Lil old ladies love yelling at me for not wearing hats/coats leaving the gym in these Minnesota winters. It happens at least once or twice every year

I'm 6'7 260 and she marched right up and let me have it in a polite but firm :ufdup: put on a coat!

she kinda looked like her

@The ADD im trying a new pre workout instead of Jym

Pre-Kaged is the name. Very similar to pre jym but with the addition of coconut water powder, capsaicin (which i love), and slightly less caffeine

Same price too.

Let me know I'm always afraid other PW won't have as much volume which I like about Jym. I basically don't want to take a shot, the extra hydration is a plus.

Have y'all ever used MuscleTech's Myobuild? I just bought the an Amino-BCAA from Muscle tech. In the form of a fruit drink mix. I'm nervous.

Ripped the inside of my leather jacket on Sunday. I paid 200 for that beauty. I hate being big. I feel like I'm gonna rip all my clothes at any second even tho they aren't super tight. One wrong, not carfully planned move and :mjcry:

I feel as though @The ADD would out lift me in every category if we did the big 3, dips and chin ups :to:.
And someone will outlift him

You are on your journey, not his. Im not as strong as brother @The ADD but I'm fukking flying right now. I have the momentum of a freight train on this gain cycle
