Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[patscorpio]

Want bigger Quads then hit up some heavy ass Fronties all day!

Back squats can do the trick too... but you will need to alter your stance i.e.. from wide/ at shoulder width to more narrow to hit your inner abductor/quad (tear drop) region more!





Sunday evening I didn't fancy the stress & sissification of a 'commercial gym' I had enough with the pansy protocols ...stupid p*ssyboi rules like:

• Don't drop the bar but instead try & caress your dead-lifts gently onto the ground

• Carry a Towel at all times otherwise you will get a formal warning

• Do not use chalk around the racks & bars as it causes a hygiene inconvenience to other lifters

• Interrupting my working SET Squats talking about "Don't forget to sign up to our 2 minute press ups challenge for a chance to win a free Protein Shaker"

• THE WORSE ONE is this new new 90 minute parking restriction in the car park..... when you enter your gym access pin on the door you gotta input your car registration to get the parking allowance otherwise some nigerian bruddah comes around with the face leaving a hefty ass penalty (~1$28) nested in your fukking windshield wiper.

So naturally I did my Gogglesssss & found this gritty ass gym not far from my area (12-15 mile drive)....I had been dabbling with the idea of re-learning some self defence alongside a serious strength regimen & its safe to say I hit the jackpot finding this old school 24/7 warehouse converted into a gym brehs! Proper cast iron weights, Old school machines (Body part specific like Calf & Shrug raise machines, GHR stations etc) ..endless squat racks & cages & the best part is that the other half the warehouse is a mixed martial arts/ boxing gym complete with a ring. Its also got this cool ass commando circuit obstacle course laid out at the back. Anyway pics below... can't wait to resume back some decent MMA style training. I'm still holding onto the commercial gym membership for a little while. Looking to go there & wow some female heads after spending 3-4 months in this joint!

Let me preface this by saying I'm not where I want to be yet and will NEVER claim to be some know it all shyt I pride myself in my coachability but I've made some physically noticeable strides over the summer into the fall so with that it starts the compliments then the "How'd you do it" from ur people once they start to see it. (Since only fellow gym rats care about things like your main lifts are up a bit since spring )

It's hilarious to me how people who aren't gym regulars love finished products and result but can't be bothered to hear about the process or rather they'd like the process not to apply to them.

I try to support any and all my friends when I see them post up progress pics or meals, workouts etc. but lotta times those updates don't get much love as a whole, but when those after pics start to pop up tho it's like night and day with the love

I've lost count of friends, co-workers etc who've asked what I did, what I'm doing, what I'm eating etc. .. and as soon as I try to tell them they start immediately asking about shortcuts, how much can they drink during this because they don't wanna not have a life. .. ok but how fast do you think can I lose (insert unrealistic number and borderline dangerous time frame) when can they have cheat days etc

You ain't lying man.

Folks will treat you like your a crazy lying sack of shyt if you tell them there's no magic tricks, pills or potions to it and that you'll fail and waste time at a lotta different stuff before you find what works and what doesn't for you.

I see it all the damn time (mainly from women). And they wonder why they don't see any progress
