Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[puppetmaster]

Do you mean you couldn't do them at all or a certain number of reps?

Couldn't do them at all. Hadn't even tried one since high school, I don't even have a good reason either between all the boxing, jiu jitsu etc that I've done I somehow have never been asked to do any and I never bothered.

The music had me feeling some type of way after I got done with deadlifts and rows so I sized up the pull up bar and went for it. Now @Serious will have to have gripes with my wrestling shirts I wear to the gym instead of lack of functional strength


at that jack3d settlement. Man I used to practically live off that stuff most of 2010-2012

I was sleeping on them. The pump they give your back is . I'm building up toward hypertrophy reps and also working weighted sets.

Pullups are even better if u actually think about what you're doing i.e., lowering yourself in a controlled way rather than letting Gravity do it. Its a very high-integrity movement meaning you can't cheat it, you can either pull yourself up or you can't.

Semi-related:


I tied leaning back like he mentioned and it was

First time I've done a full BB style back workout in 5 months since I've been on a upper/lower split.

Could barely finish it

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Yeah

You?

I was off for a minute, then went back like 4-5 months ago, then been back off for the last 3 weeks, need to get back into it before I leave it for too long and my window of muscle memory is closed. Again.

I've been using my girl as weight for cathletics does that count


Been out the gym for the like 3 months, but I'm still not still at the same weight, still eating healthy

I'm get 24 hour fitness soon so that I can go when no one is around. I can't get free around 4pm like I used to. So If I go I run into traffic at LA fitness, finding a spot to park,waiting for the squat rack , might be time I also try out a more premium gym, as well...

No. Not unless ya girl the same size as you

That's good you still at the same weight, if I'd stop for that long I'd probably lose 8-10 pounds.

Yea Im at my heaviest now but I can drop weight so easy. Dropped 10lbs in 2 weeks when I went to Europe and stopped lifting/broke from my diet a few years back. Hoping my cut will be that crazy

I always get a strange numbness in my left forearm/wrist/hand when I do dumbell bench press and it totally takes me out of the lift mentally. I have given up on DB benching in the past because of it, and I'm back at it again today for the first time in a while and sure enough the numbness came on right away.

Never get it when I barbell bench or do dips. I can't see how it is a grip strength problem either because I use way heavier dumbells to do rows and never feel it

New Years Resolution:

No more nutrition talk with anyone not interested is researching and articles

Nope

So fukking true...nyggas arent trying to listen if it's not conventional to them. Attention span of 5 seconds...

I got my deadlift to 315 pr, iffy ish form. It's a start upward, I started doing rack pulls to increase it but it's still significantly behind my squat. Least it's something.

Doing more of a strength training routine for the winter, focusing on getting more girth on my back (n/h)

Anyone do single DB press for chest? I've only seen like 3 people for it in my life (me included lol)

I'd do that at home a lot on the floor

Woman are demons.... last night was probably the 3rd or 4th time I've been out with my wife and some random chick grabbed a random body part. Usually chest or arms Bich grabbed my bicep, squeezed and kept walking behind wifeys back

Finally got access to a rotating platform stair climber machine


What is a 'normal' rate that yall use on that?

I didnt know what to do so I did 80 steps per minute for 10 minutes and my quads were on fire and my heart rate creeped up into the 180's

 

[Adam3000]

Today I went to an alternate YMCA a couple miles from the one I normally go to

The workout equipment at this one is


For cardio I finally have access to a rotating stair climber and also a high incline treadmill


The cross training and plyometric setup at this location is


This is a fat-cutting dream


......but I stopped fat cutting a couple weeks ago and cant take advantage of it


Trying to add some chest mass so its all just gonna have to wait for a while



But there is no steam room or pool/hot tub at this location and the sauna isnt even very hot and is smells like a steakhouse


I have been meditating in the sauna for 20 minutes after every workout recently so I dont want to give that up

Im torn on which location to use
