Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[semtex]

Idk i feel the setup for hacks>>>>>zerchers. I can kill some sumos and go right to hack

to each his own tho

Zerchers allow me to save my grip for other stuff. plus they're far less awkward for me

Gym Brehs, I need to consult you once again.
I will be going on a prescription diet (1100-1200 calories with carbs under 80 grams a day) for a disorder pretty soon for the next 2 months. The last time I had to do this diet was in 2012 and I lost about 15 lbs in 2 months. Because the diet is so restrictive and I have a thyroid disorder, I won't be able to increase# on my lifts anymore (recovery would take too long) but I plan to keep up the numbers I'm lifting now. I'm not allowed to workout the first 2 weeks, but after that, I can continue with lifting. I wanted to really focus on my arms and back so that they have some shape, but since I will be eating only 1200 calories a day, I want to know: will I still be able to make an impact on my arms to give them more shape or make them more dense and less squish at the end of these 60 days?

FYI- I am 5-4, about a size 6 to 8, and I feel like I have around 20-22 % body fat based on this fabricated chart, When I lifted heavy with my lower body, the muscles still created new curves and dips despite the additional body fat, but I don't know if it works the same way for arms.

U not gonna be able to do it, youre in a deficit

Yall ever be sittin at work just thinkin about workin out

All day... I work out on my lunch break 3 days a week tho :mido:

1200 calories and looking to have noticeable gains

Im not a expert on the female body relative to lifting but it sounds not that podsible.unless your whole diet is protein? Maybe someone here is more knowledgable on this tho. You can only gain like 2 lbs of muscle at most a month so idk how you would gain much at all on such a low calorie diet

This will be higher protein. I saw some growth with legs when I was doing around 1400-1500 calories and lifting 3x a week, but maybe my gains were really just my fat shrinking and revealing better shape underneath.

This makes me so sad

Yea its not really feasible to gain a lot of muscle that much under maintenanace. Any gains you see from a deficit that large were either noob gains from finally killing that muscle group or less bf making u look more defined. Like im slow cutting and look way bigger than when i weighes more just by virtue of muscle being more visible

So yesterday during work I had nothing but vendetta planned against the bar bell
I had been staring at this number for like 2-3 weeks on some can't wait till I rep you shyte

Finally arrived at a conclusive 'FUKK IT' after endless back & forths pouring over my workout notes/numbers as I left for the gym.

I decided to show face at the packed commercial gym to attempt this mile stone feat instead of the old warehouse gym & I don't regret this because it's amazing & very motivating how much attention (& pressure) gets garnered your way as the barbell gets heavier .... you got people giving you the stares every single time you step To & Away from that the ever heavy bar.

Finally the REP of reckoning arrived, I stared at my sheet with a face & proceed to load up after a lengthy procrastinating rest period.

In the mirror I catch awkward attentive glances like from heads as I go about psyching myself up,chanting sacred power lifting prayers, battling all these inner mental demons that are trying to caste shadows of doubt.

I bring up Realest Killaz (50 cent ft 2pac) on via my ipod & that's my cue to go all SS4 on...... as I approach the bar its literally ALL EYEZ ON ME

Hoisted that fukker off the floor like my life depended on it! Gravity tried to cock block but I was on some herculean flex....TO LOCKOUT or BUST brehs

Upon completion of this crazed pull.......I went all Maximus Decimus Meridius on muffukas like:

Excessive story telling narratives aside, last night felt great .

ALWAYS keep pushing yourselves people, strive for a bigger, better stronger you! After my training I had two young ladz & this girl approach me by the lockers asking me for some training & program advice, shyte makes me legitimately want to pursue PT accreditations .......as in 'proper PT'' none of that Bosu ball pink dumb bell using, carrot stick eating hippy bullshiiiiit


So now I'm officially part of the #500 club on them DEADZ! Shout out to the Coli Strength Gang Brehs

Spoiler: Club 500 Proof

I hope these zercher squats bless my deadlift numbers. I'm having trouble identifying my weak point though. I never did barbell squats prior to August but I was already in the 500 club with deads. Maybe now that I do squats that will propel me into the 600s on deads. Truth is its probably mental.

But ain't no reason my thick ass shouldn't have godly deadlift numbers
