you still using these?Got back from the gym with my first time using the Fat Gripz
Had done 3 sets with forearm/bicep as secondary muscle (1 pull up, 1 chin up, 1 machine row). Wasn't really feeling much in my forearms yet. Slapped the Fat Gripz on the machine and did 2 sets of rows with a bit lighter weight then normal. Hopped over and slapped them on some dumbells and did 1 set of hammer curls. Forearms on fire
Probably not something needed if you do heavy deadlifts often or a ton of sets of bicep curls/shrugs/farmers walks/whatever, but for me and my express routines they are going to be just what I need. I will say though that they made the rowing machine useless for back, I had to drop the weight to the point where I would normally be able to do 20-25 reps without them. But I didn't get them to improve my back workout obviously.
I did 3 miles of running and bicep.
I read this article that cardio makes you gain weight.They said that long slow jogs make you body want to store fat instead of burn it, and that the fat burning zone was a myth. I have been doing some mild jogging, (5.7 MPH for 4 miles two days ago) so last night, I thought I would just push myself and set it at 7 MPH. For 0.5 miles, I ran it at 6.5 MPH. Cardio-wise, it was difficult and I was sweating like a hog. I'm thinking I need to stop jogging it at a mild pace.
Signed up for a 5K at the end of May and going to sign up for Spartan Race in August and maybe more runs as they come along. Going start working on my cardio and endurance this week.

Pretty damn good. Haven't tried it with just water thoughHow's it taste?
you get the unflavored one? i stopped drinking milk cuz it gives me bubble guts so if i get another powder gotta mix it with water 
Brehs...brehsSetting another date up with her..she wants to workout at my gym Sunday afternoon before we do dinner. The first couple of things she asks:
- "Is there a squat rack?"
- "Is there an Assisted chin station?"
- "How much are drop-ins?"
- "You know how to spot for squats?"
shyt she even had me get behind her for seated rows...:totheeastside: / 
Why would you do that to yourself :totheeastside:Try to do a heavy set of 5x5 front squats followed by treadmill HIIT
Brehs...brehs
We get in there and she starts off doing her thing while I'm doing chest..no air head-ness as far as acclimating herself to the gym. She's doing a lil bit of everything since she's considering a new gym. She knows her shyt.
I did spot for squats and...well if she didn't know i liked her she does now
Plus I thought working out for 2 hours would have been a problem for her...it wasn't
I can't really articulate everything I wanna say right now and im on my phone
Man I'm so happy :totheeastside:
Yoooooo....no lie it was really like an hour and a half of working out2 hours workout....lol you nikkas must have been caking for like a hour in there.
