How do you nikkas gym after work?

[iBrowse]

I didn't write it. I'm pointing at how this nikka doesn't know what 5x5 is.

To me the only difference is isolation exercise is for bodybuilders. For those who want only strength, not physique, they go on compound exercises. The functional strength I would say he is referring to is, that with free-weight compound weight-resistance/power-lifting is it flexes the supporting muscles and muscles you use to help the main muscles, and helps keep your balance i.e. your inner ear by learning to perfect the form first and it builds upon itself.

Try and stand with one foot infront of the other stand straight, with your eyes closed. Be honest, how long can you stand there without falling over? That's difficult by itself. Do it with weights, now you can get back up without falling over too much, it helps lessen the injuries you'd sustain outside of the gym.

I'm not talking body-building, what 5x5 is for is strength. How many times you've ever seen a bodybuilder perform in an Olympic strength event?

Oh word I get that bodybuilding is mostly about aesthetics but I also know about power lifting and its effects on the body...while bodybuilders place much more of an emphasis on aesthetics rather than raw power while powerlifters happen to be some of the strongest people on the planet based on oly lifts, (even though they typically have that shape) bodybuilders still power lift too...

however, some "isolation" workouts still trigger many supporting muscle groups as well....to be honest there really aren't many workouts that are primarily isolating resistance applied to one muscle group if you ask me maybe just bicep and tricep isolation

Oh and I don't know if you know, but there is a stigma out here with these crossfitters on both powerlifters and bodybuilders in that they aren't gaining functional strength you get from crossfitting ()...so that's where my skepticism came from in my first post.

I don't get off until 10 pm and I'll go hit the weights for a hour before I go to the crib since my gym is 5 minutes away from my job, I tried going at 5-6 am but those old cacs are in there with their wives and its packed.



ill get up around 9am sometimes earlier and go to the trail for my cardio, only thing is that my diet has been but I'm gradually working on it.

I used to be scared of the gym because i was kinda chunky. So 1 day for some reason i got me a bench, squat rack and 320 in plates off craigslist via a trade for my 360 and PS3. Lost about 35-40 pounds since and now i dont care how tired i feel imma go lift some shyt.

Plus i bought some Ralph Lauren jeans 5 months ago and i should be able to fit them by mid july.

Depends on my work load to be honest. Sometimes I have 6 stores and 12 hour days and soon as i get home i eat and sleep. Some days i just have 4 and get off early and go right to the gym[/whatdo u do? Delivery driver?

I try to work out four times a week, before work, but mostly on weekends. I dont like gyms so I just go to classes or do video work outs at home.

 

[street heat]

i get off at 1 or 3 am on OT. at that time theres no more than a few people. i dont feel like sometimes but i push through just to challenge myself.

The gym that I go to is open 24/7 so I either go first thing in the morning or late at night.
You don't have to spend hours in the gym to get a good workout. Around a hour
and some change is good enough.

Its the only time I can workout......other than the weekends.

I have no energy in the mornings at all. I'm a nite owl all the way.

Usually I workout about 4 days a week, 5 sometimes but I'm working through a pinched nerve and slipped disc.
