Worked out on Saturday and Sunday. Not able to do any running lately. I've been doing farmer walks as a way to activate my upper body muscles without having to move my shoulders.

So I'm working out yesterday and there are these dudes and one female working out. During their workout, the female says "I need some protein." So, they go to the front desk and she buys a protein drink.

Does anyone go through a workout and say they need protein in order to continue their workout? Does the protein make it into your system that fast to make a difference? I never eat or drink anything other than water during a workout.

She is a victim of bro science, fitness industry BS, and deceptive marketing from the gym itself

I bet those gym protein smoothies got like 800 calories in them too:huhldup:


I will consume dextrose and a bit of protein during my workouts only if I'm bulking and just need to fit more calories into my day

Im still skeptical on HIIT... that shyt aint for everybody

Deload life is real.... wifey been making big gains since early July, but last night she just bombed. Gonna see if Greg Knuckols is right.... just have her do some cardio and stretches. I never really fukked with deloads but if she does OK I will. She put 30lb on vertical leg press in 6 weeks :wow:

That shyt has always done wonders for me whenever I incorporated it. Biked so much this summer I didn't need to do any HIIT, so it has been a minute.

Yeah people underestimate the amount of energy they have generally stored related to pre and intra workout nutrition.

Pretty good upper body session. On my last bench set I was able to do 175 for 8 reps. Struggled on the last 2. Tried to do standing barbell overhead press with 95 lbs for 3 x 10. And doing that after my bench, obviously my arms were fatigued. I could of done it if I did that first. Still good workout.
