Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Swirv]

Two clowns almost started fighting in the gym

One guy puts all his shyt down in the middle of the cable machine then walks away. Then he tried to come back 10 minutes later to do cable flyes but someone had already started working there while he was gone. 5:45 in the morning and we yelling and fussing over equipment?

Dude who came back expecting everything to be the same was out of line.

I mean I do the same thing sometimes and don't be having these problems.


I might even leave the gym back at a rack while my ass is on the bench.

Seems like whenever I go heavy on squats now my right knee hit me with the @Gully Bull

What supps do you currently take and are you using sleeves, my child?

 

[Serious]

I put that annoying little niklet on ignore but I'm guessing he ain't like this.


Imagine being a #PowderBoy Captain but scared of a 176 pound weakling with bad knees and no strap.

I damn sure ain’t going get my ass whipped by someone with bad knees.

I can promise you that

Study and practice all the grappling you want, but the top of raw power I possess ain’t allowing any takedowns to come to fruition.

Try taking down a dude who squats 400lbs.

Imagine not using sleeves

Supps are all over the place $$$$ but consistently using Fish oil, Collegan, multi, tongkat Ali & ZMA


EDIT: I gotta start caring about warming up smh…at best I’ll do the oliopticl for a few minutes then 3 warmup sets

Good, you're using sleeves. I'm a big fan of wearing them into the gym.


I would add this (name brand or generic):

(generic of name brand) and ditch the solo collagen.

If that alone doesn't help, add this:

As for the warming up thing, ehh. I do two sets of 5 with the empty bar + 3-4 warm-up sets of 2-5 reps.

If dude takes Multi I would say he should replace his Multi with Orange Triad as it includes a Joint Formula. I've been taking it for the last decade.

Be better than me

I’m debating on taking a month off from either training legs or lifting all together. Everything from the bottom of my feet to ears hurts

The main driver of this was an 8 rep warm up front squat on thursday. I got the surreal experience that my kneecap was gonna explode on rep 9.

My disciple @Starski ignore this charlatan.

The "joint formula" in OT is inferior to Animal Flex, and if/when you discontinue using it you won't have to grab another MVI.

Warmup sets are underrated. This is pretty much the same formula I follow. I use it to get my mind right and get my body ready for the real work ahead

I mean maybe instead of rest we focus on rehabbing the knee and getting it back to moving properly then come back strong?................

This is why you let me go out into the wild too soon Sensei...why did you not put me onto the Nectar of Preservation????........I could bush my collagen and get true Godly lubrication ................. for the joints

If you didn't ask, I didn't tell. Wait, wut?

Spoiler: Daily Supps

I keep the MVU in my daily stack and don't even buy Animal Flex like that unless my joints are getting beaten up by my routine like that. ()

My daily stack:
- Ashwagandha
- Fish oil
- Multi
- Turmeric
with the Move Free Ultra has me limber like that and I'm even stressing warm-up sets

But yeah, after taking multiple joint supps over the years I find this combo to be the most effective and cost effective.

Orange Triad is cool in theory, but it's an expensive multi and lacks some things found in Animal Flex. It's a jack of all trades that's cool if you're not hurting like that. Plain old collagen is overrated, and glucosamine/MSM is mid at best.
