Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Duke Dixon]

I just have my girl massage it when the pain gets too nagging. The weird part is it don't hurt when I bench press or even do dips. I can't do any shoulder presses or shoulder shrugs tho. It hurts the most when I'm laying down in the bed which is weird.

I don't have anyone to massage my gym pains

I think by biggest issue is sleeping on that shoulder. That's what makes it bad but that's the side I'm the most comfortable on.

Same here as far as sleeping on the bad shoulder. I think one of the rare days I hoop at the gym I'm going to dislocate it doing something simple.

How do I become more generally athletic? I want to be able to jump, run, climb, carry effectively. i was looking into crossfit but the meme's make it seem so goofy.

Try a beginners strength program like "starting strength" and add in ballistic exercises.

10 exercises
10 rep
10 minutes (repeat routine until you reach the 10 minute mark)

Welp not trying to be funny but to improve at those things you need to do those things so what can help you improve on aspects of those events/efforts.

Jump: Squats, Overhead standing press, Deadlifts

Run: Sprints, Long slow distance, interval training

Climb: improving your grip and upper body strength (pullups, chin ups, dips which can all be weighted and body weight movements)

carry: farmers carry/walk, deadlifts, back squats, bench press


You notice that is a mix of calisthenics, cardio, power movements/strength movements. If those are your overall goals I do think that something like CrossFit may be best for your overall fitness goals as it seems to me you want to just improve as an athlete in general. But no matter what you will still need to establish a strength base and maintain cardio.

Take a walk. Fresh air is good. Gotta get your mind right.

Because once the mind goes: it's a wrap like a burrito

You look up one day and you see 9 months have passed but you haven't progressed

I don't get how you brehs choose strength over muscle development/definition. I'm in the gym 5 days a week to have my body looking good not just for the ability to lift heavier shyt

 

[The ADD]

You could do both at the same time
