Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Haven't played basketball in about 3 years. Just played one on one with my 16 yr old cousin. I won but I hurt my back. I'm done with this sport. Every time I play this sport, I get hurt.


Guess I'll stick to treadmill and weights.

How much of a difference do shoes make with squats?

I am starting to get serious about squatting more often, but I notice that my weight is too far forward with my normal athletic shoes. I know a lot of people use Chucks or something else, but my disposable income is tight at the moment so unless the upgrade is major I don't want to have to sacrifice on something else

I've been working out in vans for years....May look silly to some people, but hopefully a light bulb turns on when they see I squat heavy and deadlift flawlessly...

Want to get my strength up so I'm taking some 5x5 principles and working them into my push/pull/leg split

For legs I'm basically just doing 5x5. For push day I'm doing 5x5 bench to start followed by around 6 sets of other chest exercises in the usual 8-12 rep range. For pull I'm starting with 5x5 barbell row followed by 3 sets pullups/chinups and 3 sets of something else.

Finishing off push/pull days with correponding arm movements, 2-3 sets

Dont wanna just do straight 5x5 because I enjoy the gym too much to only go 3 times per week

Dont wanna do Phat because I dont like extreme hypertrophy since I am always doing physical work at my job too

its going to be tough fighting the urge to cut now that its getting warmer out.
You dont realize how much weight you gained till you put on t shirts from last summer

PHAT is for intermediates and the more advanced anyway.


Been on a calorific deficit for about 3 weeks now. Down to about 12-13% body fat. How long should it take to get down to 10%? I reckon about 4 weeks, 6 max. The weight is flying off and i'm banging 2,200 calories. If I stall I could comfortably cast aside another 200 calories I think.

I actually have a KB sitting right here collecting dust.
But what would that do for me?
