Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Father Time might be tapping you on the shoulder breh.

But I'm 24. I think the issue is that I'd been playing soccer almost twice a week consistently for the past 5 years but neglected the recovery work portion of things. It's all kind of hitting me at once.

To add, I haven't played in 3 months. This is only my 2nd week back and admittedly I didn't stretch like I should have.

At least 25. So about 2 a week give or take.

It’ll probably be more once I get rid of some of this water weight I’ve been holding. This week I’ll focus on cardio and cleaning up my diet.

Flush out the excess water and get my true base. Summer wasn’t the best on my part. Ate out a lot and didn’t work out all that much.

Really just looking to get back to basics of what I had been doing prior. Meal prepping, counting calories and getting vigorous exercise at least 5 times a week. By ensuring my gym time is non-negotiable it helps my physical and mental health.

Got a wedding at the end of the year so there’s a little more fire in my belly.

What's your diet

Hyperextensions will have your lower back hollering

SN: This one white girl from my gym seems to have dropped some weight. Sadly, it was mostly from her booty. She was a legit PAWG with a bubble. The shape is there but less bubble

Took me a little to get it right but Rack Pulls are the goat

Those of you who don’t/can’t deadlift need to master this lift shyt got me feeling like The Rock

 

[Da_Eggman]

anybody get wrists that get irritated/"weak wrists". this is really starting to become a worse and worse problem for me. too many exercises rely on a flexed wrist for me to be having this part of the body be the weak link

if a workout has burpees, pushups, planks, and mountain climbers, even glute work like fire hydrants, my wrists are done. and i cant do front squats at all because my wrists (for some reason i can't get that shyt at the right place on my chest to not hurt it/collar bone either)

Yes and I now wear a wrist brace when I lift

All my years of neglect are hitting me at once.

What's your diet

I’m Nigerian so we do a lot of rice. I’ve switched the rice to qunioa (more fiber and protein) plus reduced the portion size and replaced it with more green veggies.

Drinking more water and doing salad at least once a day with light dressing. Biggest thing for me is just getting more active.

Nothing like taking a break and carbing up

Idk what im doing wrong but wen I do isolated bicep curls, im only able to crank out 6 reps with my dominant arm but 10 reps with my weaker one, n for some reason my form is extra clean with my weak arm where I don't feel the weight as much

First problem, wrist wraps and constant flexing of the wrist, similar to how you stretch before working out any other body part.

Second problem, google "using straps to front squat". Basically use straps that you deadlift with, wrap it in a loop around the bar, pull to tightnen, and hinge your fist upwards. Makes front squatting way easier until your wrist get stronger/more flexible.
