Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Theres a guy deadlifting 4plates with just chalk

N wen I was dealifting 3 plates with liquid chalk I was hurting like a bytch cuz of the calluses after every rep

I feel like a hoe

Don't. If your form was good then you had a good DL day.

I only use chalk on dead felt like I was cheating using gloves or anything else

I pull in gloves til my grip fails in them, somewhere between 495 and 550 lbs.

Then I usually pull out the chalk, liquid and/or powder.

Once I finish my top singles I put the gloves back on for my back-off sets.

Tried to go back to flat bench pressing today....pec had different plans got through three sets and had to tap out. Think I'll give it two weeks before I try again...with 40 lbs off the bar

Sometimes it be like that. Brb going 5 steps forward (+5lbs/wk for 5 weeks) before going 3 steps back. Rinse and repeat.

Make sure you kill yourself in these workouts, every fukking day.

Did my HIIT class again last night, man this gatorade is def clutch for it. Work capacity and cardio were still meh but at least now I'm not gassed. Hopefully this gets my engine ready for this 5k.

Gonna stick with my full body push/pull split on the weekends.

SL5x5 is absolute toilet-water in terms of nutrition information. Ended up combining info from r/fitness and created this -- maintenance calories = 16kcal x body-weight = 2640. To trigger surplus add 300-500 calories. The macro spread I am going with is 1g/lb body-weight (protein) -- 0.5b/lb body-weight (fat) -- everything else (carbohydrates). This works out to

- Protein = 170g
- Carbohydrates = 420g
- Fat = 83g
Maintenance Calories = 2640
Start Point Calories = 3100

Be careful with these calculations.... they can have you under/overeating like crazy. Body composition is also a big factor. My maintenance is basically 2800 regardless of what I weigh (within reason). So there's really only 1 weight where every calculator will be accurate.

Best way to calculate your macros is to track your eating for a few weeks, see what you need to eat to maintain, and work backwards

Coronavirus got the whole city looking like a ghost town

Events getting canceled left and right all over the country (Arnold, SXSW, ECCC)

Yet I still had to wait to get a squat rack at 8:45 on a Friday night.

You should've asked bro to move. 99.9% of fukkbois will move if you ask/explain nicely.

Spoiler

I've noticed another phenomenon: the bigger you get, the more quickly they move too.

This is my biggest issue rn. Squat is actually much lower than parallel and the deadlift is .


Can't use leg drive, stay tight, or arch consistently on bench.
