Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

If you are below 40 studies show it takes a month to lose muscle strength if 40+ it can take as little as 2 weeks

I know for damn sure it takes way less than a month for my lifts to start detraining.


If you like taking time off from the gym, aren't a Tailed Beast or master of all tank tops, or just be lifting hoe weights, just say that.

Monday - Back and shoulders core work

Thursday - Chest and arms core work

Saturday - Legs core work

All other days I’m active just not weight lifting and I do sauna 3x a week.

Lifting you are tearing muscle it needs time to grown back… the other things are not as harsh on ligaments tendons and joins…

A butchered Lee Haney split, hmmm?

Ah, so you don't eem really lift.

Ole "Imma hit legs once a week" ass nikka.

 

[Son Goku]

Every 6-8 weeks, I take an extra few days off. It works wonders.

I come back refreshed.

I plan on taking a week off into the new year as the newbies trickle in.

Then its back to foot on thy neck season, as I crush their insecurities.

A few extra days or a whole week off when you only lift three times a week anyways?

I asked for a routine not an idea. What lifts, how many sets, how many reps?

Monday- seated machine rows, assisted pull-ups

Thursday: bicep curls in the squat rack, machine press

Saturday: leg press, machine leg curl extension, machine calf raises.

Four times a week? Not just for legs but total?

And ofc you don't live at the gym, you live at home like everybody else that's not a Smith machine.

Don't encourage it as even that....

Hit your muscles once every week or two but be talmbout "rest" and "recovery".

Yep. Upper and lower body splits.


I get everything done in 45 minutes

The real cheat code in life is doing the least amount of work while maximizing the gains

I played college athletics played sports all my life… sorry I’m functional get busy on a court field and gym

I said lose muscle… didn’t say anything about strength

No way you working an upper/lower with decent volume, intensity, and frequency in 45 minutes IMO but you do you.



At 45 minutes a sesh × 4 times a week, you definitely ain't got time to be crushing insecurities.

you asked a question I gave an answer if it wasn’t specific enough that’s ok.

Unless I total my car my typical week is:

In gym for hour or so

Monday - lat pulldowns (attachment and grips change) Rows and pull ups (not assisted) Military press, lateral/front raises, upright row, core work and HIIT cardio

Tuesday - Swimming laps 25-30min and hot/cold therapy

Wednesday - Basketball and physical therapy work (had shoulder surgery and lower back injury from football)

Thursday - Incline flys, incline bench and flat bench, tricep push downs/kickbacks and curls/hammer curls and core work and HIIT cardio - sauna

Friday - Same as Tuesday

Saturday - One legged squats, trap bar squats, lunges, glut ham, core work jump rope - sauna

Sunday - Same as Wednesday

Seat belt saved me from getting fukked up but it messed up my sternum area laying/sitting down and getting up hurt my chest sneezing too so I took 2 weeks off. I would never take 2 weeks off if everything was normal but after 1 week I felt like I kept all my size …. I would just not lift during the week off but do everything else I need blood flow and activity but want to lift into my 60’s 70s a week off from weights 6-8x times a year will help with longevity prob go to sauna on the days I’m not lifting. Hitting gym tmw hopefully nothing pops outa place

6’4 210 mid thirties got as big as 295 deadlifting T bars squats cleans it was fun but after injuries in my 20’s need to be more functional and lean

Thanks to the #powder I use, I can

 

[peppe]

Water fast first time - 123 kg -> 114 kg
then a week off eating normal. gained 4 kg which is normal

Second time (last week) 118 kg - 110 kg

Today is refeed, healthy food and starting again tomorrow. Did some research since i gained half of what I lost be it seems normal since you replenish your glycogen stores (about 500 g) and with that come about 1,5 kg of water.

Hoping to hit double digits before the new year
