Anecdotally incline smith gives me the best pump because I can push to near failure, but cables flyes are the most satisfying.I thought the same but started doing incline bench presses on the smith machine to switch it up. Not a bad alternative

I don't use gloves anymore but I would recommend receiver (football) gloves over lifting gloves. Lifting gloves are trash imo.
U ever use them for pull ups ?

That was the reason I bought them. Now I just use chalk for everything.

If you do this long enough, calluses become a part of life. I use a pumice stone at least once a week to keep the calluses from growing too much and tearing.

Really surprised Taylor fumbled. I thought 890.5 would be an easy lick to a Sheffield invite but you never know what will happen on Gameday
Russ delivered though. Kinda breezed the 93 WR but he gotta tighten up that depth on squats. His 3rd was his best one and it was still 2-1

Today marks five years since I first started lifting (8/2/11-8/2/16).
I am going to celebrate this day by taking a rest day.
Six year anniversary
Bout to go kill this back workout, sleep in tomorrow morning, then go crush legs.
Today is the ten year anniversary of when I first started regularly going to the gym (8/2/2011-8/2/2021).
Never thought I would have stuck with it this long. Figured I would have burned out after a few months.
Thirteen and counting
Bout to train chest, then finish up with some light cardio
Not slowing down until I'm dead
