Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Anyone that Suppliments L arginine care to give any input......

How many grams am I supposed to take daily to make sure these are taking effect???

I decided to try it out and get a 120pill bottle of 1000MG I been taking 3 total a day, 1 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.

But im im reading online that I should be taking 5 pills to get 5mg of L arginine a day, that feels like alot to where this wouldn't be that cost effective at 5 a day is 3MGs enough or should I bump it up some???

I have finally hit that point where I am pushing more weight more frequently than my wrist can handle....So what is the consensus Wrist wraps or gloves with the wrist supports? I have a very nice callus bed (if it is a such thing) on my hands so I don't really have much issue but it would be nice not to be able to scratch people with my palms.

I got both once you start hitting a certain weight your wrists start holding you back.

At first I just bought the gloves with wrist support but I found that it interferes with my grips on bench press, shoulder presses and deadlifts maybe it just was my type of gloves idk.. So I bought the wrist wraps too. I use the wrist wraps for benching, military/shoulder press.

Use gloves for a couple of pulling excercise like heavy dumbbell shrugs and heavy Tbar row. Calluses are cool and all but they can rip especially when picking up a lot of weight. When alternating between the 2 you still get some good callus buildup so u will never have the soft hands.

But if I had to choose only 1 would choose just the wrist wraps.

My back is fine. We have a soccer match tonight. And I think I'm gonna go for Squatober Day 3 after instead of pushing it a day. I really want that full weekend of rest

Cardio circuit training, calisthenics, and intermittent fasting for 8-12 weeks..no lifting.. gets you there

I can't just give up the lifts

That keeps the purge from happening

You could do circuit training with weights, that's what I'm thinking about doing But losing that skrength tho




Looks like I've stopped dropping weight Might have to start now chugging water/cutting cals even more now.

How do I tell if it’s a 45 or 33lb bar? fukking gym has no damn weight info on the bars

Like I really am not sure what I was deadlifting at as the ~12 pound difference is hard to discern. I could’ve went a little heavier on my last set, but when I use a 33lb bar I also leave space to go heavier, so who knows



More reasons I hate 24 hour fitness

Brehs, how long did it take y'all to bench 100 kg (225 lbs)?
This month Mark's my 2nd year of lifting (best decision in my life btw ) and I can only bench 225lbs if I add the weight of the bar do y'all also add the weight of the bar? Or I'm just a weak mofo?

Until he reached 225?
Well depends on where he starts

Ohh okay. I had that wrong. I thought you was talking about once he surpassed that. I've been on the same bench max for a year now. Can't go up unless I gain weight.

I'm at 225, if I count the weight of the bar. Reason I was asking if y'all add the weight of the bar to your lifts.

@nawlinsnfinest regarding addition of 5lbs every week, do I do 3x5 or 5x5?
