Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Spliff]

UD2 during Ramadan should be interesting.

btw, @Spliff, just thought about this today ... as the book and many of y'all recommended, one of the main source of carbs during my carb load are bagels ... however, I usually eat cinnamon raisin bagels more so than plain bagels cuz they taste better. Do you count the sugar in cinnamon raisin bagels (or something like blueberry bagel) towards the 50g fructose limit? (cuz it isn't really sweet, it just has more of a taste than it's plain counterparts)

Yea. Count the sugars except when you know the sugar content is all dextrose. For example, I housed 100g-carb worth of smarties during thursday's post-workout meal. Nutrition label lists it as sugar, but its all dextrose so it didn't matter.

Do u do legs every week or twice a week or what... thats what I meant

If u gettin DOMS after every trip consistently u mite be doing too much

But if u gettin DOMS and only hitting legs like once every 2 weeks u mite need to step it up

DOMS = wrong consistency/volume

@ the 100 standing body weight calf raises though. I tried them last time, I could only get to like 80. My shyts were sore for days

nah the thing is i wasnt getting much doms anymore so I was thinking that I must be falling off or some shyt so I thats when I started trying to squat 400 on the smith

anyway i only work legs once a week, I figure i walk around my job's building everyday, i walk to the train station for my commute when i dont Have to, I got the veinage going a little bit in the quads and the calfs

and oh no they wasnt 100 calf raises at once , it was more like 1 set of 60, rest for like 10 secs then blast through the last 40

so naw you better than me, I dont think I can do 80 at once after a workout

Not getting DOMS is good, that means you are hitting it right. U might be able to do more but maybe not.

I would fall back to whatever weight you were doing before the DOMS though and make sure your form is tight. No point squatting 400 if you aren't hitting parallel

in other news, it's high volume back day. Lord hammercy

EDIT: it was brutal brehs. Drop sets of db rows beginning at 196lbs and ending at 156lbs. Followed by pullups 4x8

struggled thru it. last weeks was better bc I woke up tired this morning and coffee only helps so much.

First leg day in a long time, this won't be pretty

I usually get asked if I fight or wrestle but I think it has something to do with my traps(which have gotten pretty thick no homo) and my constant weight fluctuation.

I think my comments are related to my legs and how much I squat.

When I put the weights on, I'll have a group of men looking at me like:

When I finish with a set I'm like

and they are like "dang lil lady, you got some strong legs." "I like a strong woman"

This dynamic doesn't usually happen in my school or paid gym, but I've been in my home town for 3 weeks working out at the parks and rec workout center (it's a bunch of locals and hood dudes that aren't used to seeing women working out like that).

This heat makes it hard to get to the gym. I feel exhausted already by the time I make it to the gym.

172.8 lbs. This is what the scale has told me everyday for the past 2 weeks. I though the shyt might be broke, so I grabbed a 15lb weight and stepped on and it told me 187.8 lbs. So the shyt is acurrate. I just want to get up to 180-185 brehs, this bulking shyt ain't working for me
