Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

But it's not a myth

Myth?


Gotta remember some folks only putting up one or two plates and don't go heavy enough to actually see this in action.


Yeah, nah. Its definitely true.


Will it have your rectus super-defined like direct ab work? Prolly not, especially at only 1-2x a week though. Back when I squatted every day, sometimes twice a day, for 11 weeks straight on a bulk, my abs were never more defined and I only hit em maybe once or twice a week for 3 - 6 sets total. YMMV.

C’mon brehette

you knew those shorts were two sizes too small when you stepped out the house and now you got half your asscheeks out and half the gym staring at you at like

Didn’t need to go off ole boy for catching a peak...he was, shall I say “distracted”

Anyway, chest and shoulders today.

What do you all do for core? Been ignoring it for years due to the “squats work core” myth

Nothing really. squats and bench seem to get me as cut there.
I used to do dedicated ab work and my core was strong but it didn't show.

Getting old

 

[Son Goku]

Getting old

Not necessarily. I deadlifted yesterday and am headed to the gym in 10 rn. I feel fine.

Deads use a lot of energy but don't drain my batteries as much as squats do, some of it may be structural differences.

I'd rather go pull for an hour than go back squat for an hour.

Let you and your homegirl quarter squat 65 lbs. with the p*ssy pad on, crehettes.

What sport is the best for people in their high 20s, early 30s to stay athletic and fit in the long run?

I was thinking on doing some boxing training.

Whatever sport you like enough that you will remain consistently active.

Can you detail how this is an issue? Specific movements?

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Who the hell yall talking to

and goblet squats hit my core way more than back squats

 

[The ADD]

Who the he’ll yall talking to

and goblet squats hit me core way more than back squats

Indeed. Goblets or front squats hit that area way harder for me.

Great chest day yesterday but my left side needs more work. I still feel my right sight (dominant side) doing more of the heavy lifting on bench presses. I'll need to do more DB and ISO presses to bring the left up to speed. Also need to incorporate more flyes and chest presses to isolate the chest. My triceps tire before my chest so I'm not getting as much chest stimulation as I'd like.

All in all, good progress.
