Man i had a dream i was in a gym trying to get my lift on but the plates on the bar either kept changing or disappearing. I'd put a 45 on one side then go to get another one and the plate said 0 :dahell: so I'd put a 35 and a ten on and the 45 on there would disappear. This kept happening over and over and over. Was driving me crazy.
:mindblown:
Good thing it was only a dream tho :whew:

Exercise/cardio blunt anyone else’s hunger? I was on the verge of doing fat girl things with my hoodrat friends, but then I finally got my workout in and was ready to make and eat a sensible dinner of roasted chicken and potatoes and steamed broccoli

Happens quite frequently to me.

I can be in the gym for like 3 hrs and be too drained to even eat afterwards, sometimes for hours after the fact.

About to finish cutting my OG grass . Big ass law front & back :francis:

Fair to say no gym today I’ll be back tomorrow morning tho .

I’ll assume everyone has a set routine ? I just be going in either doing full body workouts each time or basically whatever I feel that day :lolbron:

Ima get a set routine next for each day . I think that should help:patrice:

No real strict routine other than trying to hit upper and lower at least twice a week. Sometimes it’s a heavier day, others it’s higher reps depending on how my body is feeling. As long as I keep track of sets/reps so I can keep increasing, I don’t worry about too much. If someone were really trying to build muscle or strength then they likely need to use a formalized approach.

I for one cycle through different splits/programs depending on what my current goals are (maximal strength, size, more definition, etc.). I might decide what accessory work to do on the fly during certain types of programming, but I never just show up to the gym and do whatever. :huhldup:

Just my feeling on it. :hubie:

The risk/reward ratio always seemed off to me so high rep sets of squats always seemed pretty "meh" to me (unless it's a final widowmaker set). Squats use up a lot of energy, and the longer the set is extended for, the less energy I'm gonna have to do other things. For straight sets, the weight I'd be moving in that rep range isn't really optimal for making me stronger, and I can create the same hypertrophy effect it might give elsewhere while saving some energy and putting less wear and tear on my body.
:manny:

As a general rule, I like to keep all of my compound barbell work in the 5 and under range, and rarely ever take it over 10. YMMV. :pachaha:
