Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Compression knee sleeves Come see the light

My left knee is tender....might go cop one

Walking dumbbell lunges are my new #1 until I decide to start a squat program back up. I went hard at squats for a few months and need a break.

Loving this exercise for a variety of reasons. Single leg training is so dope but so hard at the same time since you have to do double the work

Might go cop one....left knee is tender.

most people who use the leg press let their butt round w/out realizing it. the key to using it properly is controlling the motion at stopping the descent right before you ass actually tucks. most people i see overload the machine, rush the reps, and destroy their backs. i'm not saying that's what you're doing but that's what i see. it's the same w squats, it's never a good idea to go beyond the butt wink, it puts massive stress on your lower back, especially w heavy weight.

It's almost as though there's a hypersensitivity to avoid having a 2" ROM so they overcompensate by having a 20' ROM

Salmon Croquettes..

Salmon a la can

if you're targeting quads i've always found walking db and bulgarian lunges hit them more directly

Reverse lunges too are good

Those Mio water enhancers are the truth. I was having a hard time drinking enough water on days I didn't work out, but now I can get through a whole gallon in just a few hours.

You don't even need to put that much in. Just one to two squirts to give your water a little extra flavor.

Anything with sucralose or aspartame gives me headaches

Of course they'd start putting it in everything

Starting to incorporate RDLS and high rep walking lunges as a superset, damn its tough tbh.

I made a thread about it but barely anyone checks it, figure I'd post it here. It's my 2nd week back in 4-4.5 years. Was gonna originally do the Jim Stoppani Shortcut to size workout but went on bodybuilding forums and everyone who is a beginner is following the plan below. For years people have been doing it.


Workout Programs



Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.

1. Do yall take protein shakes on non-workout days? And if so, how much?

2. I'm tryna get bigger but I do have some gut. That gon naturally become muscle as I workout, or I gotta do something about that? Currently after every workout I do 2 sets of 25 reps of situps with a medicine ball
