Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Duke Dixon]

@Duke Dixon

I think your count might be off and/or your not doing enough cardio...

The cardio is definitely an issue...20 minutes not gonna get it done

Thats true, I do need to do more cardio but the heavy lifting should be a cardio vasiculor workout. I have a Fitbit and when I tracked my HR I was in my target heart range during the lifting. I need to track a week again to see what my output is like now.

If you eat even 2000 calories, the weight will fly off quicker depending on how long and intense of a run you do...

2000 calories at his height at 6ft 4 is ridiculous. im 5ft 11 at 200lbs currently cutting and eating 2400 calories a day and I’m still losing weight.

Yea I don't its possible for me to eat 2000 calories and be healthy.

The body can adjust to alot of things...

I been perfectly fine on 1400-1800 calories..sometimes less if I crash after work

I seen dudes who know their way around the gym do it..nothing wrong with 135lbs and building up from there..but it's the ego at play

Yeah ego lifting ain’t the business.
Funny thing your legs / posture is more at risk for injury from quarter squats than atg

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Quarter squatting really annoys me because I've had to check my ego at the door and reevaluate my form over the years to get it right (and there's still room for improvement). So quarter squatting is a complete disrespect for the weight.

Worse is when I see personal trainers teaching quarter squats to their clients

All this ego lifting shyt is what people say who scared to get under the bar with respectable weight and squat with depth.

And they same people that like to always talk about their Leg Press number

Okay I will be back in the gym tomorrow, I took a few days off and partied for my birthday, partied Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
I had to get it out my system. Today is loading the body with vitamins and supplements, to prime the body

 

[NatiboyB]

So I’ve put my Push, Pull, Legs routine to rest for a bit so that I can try out a Full Body routine.

But today I decided that 1 workout this week I will perform 100 x reps of every exercise as I do (as many sets as it takes to get over 100 reps).

1000m row on C2 rower
Warmup 30 x pullups

Barbell incline bench 11 sets (110reps). 135lb-185lb
Leg Press 7 sets (105reps) 270lbs-315lb
Facepull 7 sets (110reps) 120lbs
Leg extension 5 sets (105reps) 85lb-100lb
Tricep pushdown 5 sets (110reps) 60lb
Seated Calf raises 5 sets (125reps) 135lbs

20 x dips (which was to failure)
1000m row on C2 rower

I had a nasty pump especially in my calves and chest. I decided to give this a go today rather than my normal routine just to change the pace up.

Who wanna be my virtual gym buddy? Havent been to the gym in years and i have no idea what im doing when i do decide to go back which will be tomorrow

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

I feel like quarter squatting has really become the new norm. I see so many people not squatting all the way down, just bending their knees a few times thinking they're doing something.

I had like three people look at me yesterday like when I actually hit depth (not even ATG, just below parallel). And I wasn't even going heavy either.

I seen dudes who know their way around the gym do it..nothing wrong with 135lbs and building up from there..but it's the ego at play

I used to be that guy at the gym squating big numbers just above parallel. Recently switched it up to a high bar about 3 weeks ago and been working on hip flexability and that glute hamstring activation caught a nikka all the way off guard. I'm only getting 235 for 5 now but its definitely a better workout.

Took everything in the medicine cabinet for this cold, going to just try to get in (a less intense) session in.

Going to at least warm-up to get some squat sets in the work on my technique so more. Overhead press might be the same. Deads could be interesting w/o the squat/press volume.


Weather is stupid nice today, so I know its going to be crowed like crazy.

people at work stay and @ my lunches (which are pretty basic)...i'm like, well if you'd ever cook, you too could have a fresh, balanced meal for lunch

@Duke Dixon

I forgot to say...personally since I started cutting, I only do the big 3 lifts, pull ups and db presses/snatches..

Most of my energy goes to cardio...

I'm at 165 from 202 since November..im cutting aggressively tho..

If you keep 2000 calories as your max and put the effort more into cardio, you'll easily have at least a pound come off a week...

damn, what are you doing? (aside from hella cardio that i see you post)
