Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[tripleaamin]

There is no way switching from the ellipitical to the treadmill could me having crazy doms in my legs. It Prob has to do with me not working out for 2 weeks, but I only did 3 x25 bodyweight squats, 3x15 jump squats and 3 x10 bodyweight lunges as a superset.

This really has me puzzled tbh.

That moment when the equipment you would've liked to use is taken so you're forced to freestyle for the mean time. Don't the people in this damn city have jobs or go to school?

Gym Goals:

Ranked for importance.

4. Maintain a more consistent schedule and go atleast 3 times a week if not more.

3. Focus more on total body exercise like deadlifts and squats.

2. Burn a good amount of calories on a consistent basis so I'll get more cut while minimizing the calorie intake away from the gym.

1. See what's up with what could be one of the finest female there or on earth in general that I've seen a few times already so I know she's a regular. one day.


I saw they were building some new equipment. I asked one of the employees and he mentioned something about pdx? I had one earbud on so I didn't get the full info but it looked right. Anyone know anything about this or something that sounds like it? Looked like this huge multi exercise thing with what looked like monkey bars on it. It wasn't ready yet but it should be the next time I go there on maybe Friday.

I'm thinking of switching up my routine. I usually do specific parts on specific days. Which I don't have issues with but I feel like I just need to cut and not bulk. I'm not gonna gain any more weight and I've been just maintaining consistency. I'm not fat either, I'm around 178. My diet could improve but I maintain weight and stay active at work too. But must of my fat goes to my stomach. Not like I have a big stomach but I know I can improve on it. I'm thinking of just sticking to mostly core and cardio exercises with some full body stuff like bench press, squats and deadlifts. While eliminating things like arm day and back day. Would this be wise or should I just keep working on every body part with more emphasis on my core since that's my main area of weakness? I know a six pack is tough to achieve but I'd be happy with even a two.

if you only have 3-4 days to hit the gym a week, a full body split or upper/lower split is where its at. No point in doing isolation exercises, until you have a decent physique and can spot your weakpoints. If you do wanna have abs, itd be wise to hit them a couple times a week tho, last bulk I did, I just tried to stick to compound exercises as my main ab workouts and when I cut my abs didnt look as good as they shouldve. This bulk, I'm hitting abs 3 x a week and hoping when i cut in the spring they pop out better.

Yeah I feel you on that. I could go more often but when you have a random work schedule every week, it varies on when you can go. I used to go late night after work but now I've preferred going during the day. Either on my days off or when I have a closing shift since those start at four or five. Yeah I think a split is best. My legs are my strongest feature, always have been. Just gotta tone my core. I've been using that one machine that lets you lean sideways with a 25 to work on the sides. Usually do leg raises on the captain's chair with a 10 or so. I stay active outside of the gym especially at work with all the walking I do. And I walk on the treadmill in our garage as often as I can. I found this plank variation video the other day. Starting to check that out to strengthen core and stamina. Not like my diet is bad either. I don't eat enough for a bulk and most of the fat goes to the stomach and just goes away. I have minimized the junk like fast food but I don't eat enough anyways to make me fat. I'm gonna try doing abs like you on a few times a week basis. Maybe all this hair on my stomach is what's hiding the muscles.

Why did I never think of doing bench press negatives with the Smith machine before

Could this be my missing piece of the puzzle?

word planks are always good since they train the main function of the abdomen which is to stabilize, one of the best things ive added on this bulk is the cable crunch, hanging knee raises and t bar torso rotations

High key I have pretty much stopped drinking. College days I could put down a 12 pack, wake up, go play basketball all day. Now I have 2 glasses of wine and I'm

I asked one of the employees and he mentioned something about pdx?

PDX is some sex slave Cirque du Soleil bullshyt. Keep it meat and potatoes bruh. Full body split with like 2-3 decent (~500kcal) cardio sessions a week. Gotta choose whether u want to build strength or cut as well. If u arent happy with your stomach I would cut. Prob drop the lifting to 2x/week and put in twerk on cardio. Up your protein a lot and cut carbs. U will get right
