Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[The ADD]

Rephrase that, I'm struggling to comprehend, how bizarre this possibly is.

Fella was super setting flat bench and squats at below or at best close to his body weight.

The hell is the point in supersets with bench and squat when you are working below body weight

I'm trying get my nephew past a plateau on Bench.

He worked his way up to 2 plates, but he's struggling to get past doing more than two.


I currently have him do.

3x1 @ 145lbs

then

3x1 @ 175lbs

Then he flames at at

2x2 @ 225lbs....


Any tips on benching?

Like should I have him bench more at a lower weight first?

Static holds, paused reps, and paused weighted dips helped me

Decided to go for the 1K club here halfway through my deadliff sets.


Slawed out yesterday and missed my top single on squats.


Wasn't close to maxes on anything except bench and still went over 13-hundo on nothing but a Brotein shake, a banana, and some weak #Powda.

What’s the actual routine? How long you been worshiping? What are stats and goals?

Day 4 in the gym! Leg day with some core and cardio! 40g protein meal afterwards! Let’s get it kings and queens!

5'11/(as of now)249 lbs(was 258 on May 7th)My Goal is just to be Slim and Muscular(not Rock/Brock Swole just where its noticeable when I wear a Tank Top or an XL Polo)plus to look good in them RL,Express,Lacoste etc Gear and not have to look in the XXL Section for them

6 Days A Week(Sun-Fri)

Some days(mainly Sun/Tues/Thu)Ill take a Cardio/Weight Training Class other days I'll do a Full Body Program from the Body Fit App

Ive been going to my Gym for about a good 2 Years just going twice a Week for the Classes but other times its been just Work and Go Home,It was since last month Ive went from Job straight to Gym on a 6 Day Sched and it was due to a WL Challenge in my Regular Class that I started going in Heavy than Ive ever did and I intend to Keep On

Cool. Most of that (other than the stats) tells me you're more than likely not on a specific program/training block. Those goals aren't really SMART goals either, and that's not a bad thing, it just makes it easier to waffle when your goals aren't specific and measurable, at least in my experience.


Let us know if you have specific questions, but if not, good luck.

I mean I would like to know a specific Training Program to use that would fit my Goals,my main thing is just the Chest/Gut....My Arms and Legs are Solid,I just want the Midsection to match up but I can see that you cant just target a specific Area of your Body like that with out working the rest of it and im sure I wont get the BF down on Cardio alone plus I have been doing changes to my Eating Habits by Eating One Meal a day during the week(Dinner)and drinking all the Water

I guess im trying to go the Body Transformation Route if anything and theres no Waffling here,im all about the Hard Work

A couple of thoughts/observations:

• The reason I said your goals weren't specific or measurable is because there was no quantitative component to them. What is "slim and muscular", which to me is an oxymoron? By whose eye, yours, gym bros, random fatties, dimepieces, your peoples? Do these people lift or know what muscular is? What body fat range will that occur at? What lean body weight.

• Waffling has nothing to do with hard work, it simply means that it will be harder for you to analyze and critique your progress, since again, you haven't associated any numbers with your goals. You could be carbed up one day and look beastly in a specific shirt and be depleted the next time and look like shyt in it.

• You actually can target specific areas of your body for muscular growth/development. What you cannot do is spot-reduce specific areas of your body for fat loss. Fat distribution is genetically predetermined; the only way to spot reduce is via plastic surgery.

• HSTs (hypertrophy specific training programs) can be very difficult to plan and execute, especially for less-experienced lifters.

• Are you lifting 6 days a week? That's prolly overkill for the majority of folks, especially on a cut, but again, it depends on what your goals are. If the workouts aren't that intense or dense (talking volume) than it's probably not as much of an issue.

• I have no idea who teaches the classes you attend at your gym, but the ones I see at the gyms I visit are mostly an exercise in wasting time. A dedicated program with fewer changes in modalities would prolly net more consistent and more predictable gains.

some Mind Blowin Info there creh but im a try to Answer them good

Last I had checked im a 28.9% BF/35.1 BMI

Its an even split of Three Days between Lifting and Cardio,The Classes are more for my Learning if anything

When I say "Slim and Muscular" Im thinking say Kev Hart....shyt Look at how Ant Anderson,Birdman,Mef & Jeezy transformed,thats The Wave im trying to catch...Im not trying to look like The Rock and all em

1. I'm not a creh, I'm actually a breh (and have posted numerous receipts on here).
My pronouns are he/him/that gym nikka.



2. All the dudes you named are normal/skinny (at least to me) and if that's the goal all you need to do is stay active and continue to eat at a deficit. Forget everything I said about HSTs and all that, you're not going to need them.


3. Classes are all well and good assuming you have a good teacher. If your goals were more aggressive I would ask you to question who's teaching these classes.

Ex.: Ole buddy at my home gym is banking off all these people that are ignorant of The Whey, but his knowledge is limited and most assuredly doesn't even exceed my own.

But since all you're tryna do is 'slim down', it doesn't matter nearly as much if the instruction is legit or not. Cals out > Cals in.


4. Yeah, get that bf % down. Not tryna be mean but 25-30% is what a "thick" broad clocks in at (not a BBW ). As a dude, you need to be a least half that if you wanna be decent. You're basically gonna have to halve the amount of body fat you had when that estimate was made, and prolly take it even lower if you want visible abs.


Good luck. I'll be here eating pasta, pizza, candy, burgers and fries, and anything else that's not dikk () tryna pack on more mass.

It’s so many bad ass chicks in the gym, with sweatpants showing they ass, that it’s gettin hard to focus at times.

And they coming early in the morning

Don't fall for the illusions..... chick's clothing nowadays is full of witchcraft ad sorcery..... only time I'm rating a chick is if I could her exposed quads and determine if the quad meat has a solid unified swosh like a wellness athlete or the disgusting jiggle that comes with cellulite n fat...
