If you aren't walking in with a plan.......
Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...
- Thread starter -G$-
- Start date
I never have a plan when I go there lol. I'm not sure what to do most of the time. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing things right as well ex. squats. I only ever feel them in my legs.
Some older dude I occasionally see around the gym stopped me today to tell me that I was the strongest person he has seen in size-to-strength ratio
I don't take compliments well so I just told him the truth, that I was strong for my size but a low level competitive powerlifter in my weight class would torch me with ease
But he wasn't having that so he told me that I was the strongest "normal" guy he has seen
But I still don't take compliments well so I thanked him but I was just thinking in my head "this guy in reality is calling you a skinny midget"
Its these weighted dips and pullups. If your gym is not frequented by serious lifters, you are instantly a god once you strapped a plate around your waist

That weighted pullups shyt is true... I had some gym acquaintances as I like to call them come up to after some weighted pullups & dudes were geeked the fukk out that I was doing a 45 & 25 lb plate for a set of 4. I mean that's better that the majority of cats in any gym but my boy whose a personal trainer has a 1rm for weighted pullups of 135 lb so although I know I'm pretty strong all things considered, it ain't shyt compared to my friend who can damn near double my shyt. I'm confident & humble at the same time tho.
What kind of plan am I supposed to have?
Here's my thread if anyone would like to help.

That's how I feel about bench. My bench press game iseven though I've been hitting PRs on deads and squats the last few weeks.
Me too. I got my dead to 315 but im struggling with 185 
I remember doing weighted chins at a gym I used to go to... some lady said "I HATE that you can do that"That weighted pullups shyt is true... I had some gym acquaintances as I like to call them come up to after some weighted pullups & dudes were geeked the fukk out that I was doing a 45 & 25 lb plate for a set of 4.

I don't fukk with chins anymore though. Easier to control form and choose grip on lat pulldowns.
I did that on my legs workout last week. I take two breaths at the bottom so I don't get light-headed. I feel I have more energy at the bottom, and less likely to rush my reps with bad form.
Yeah I should have been doing it this way from the beginning. My deadlift numbers would be higher and I wouldn't have experienced the back tweaks that caused my mental block

What's your goal? In order to have a plan you need to have a goal? Are you trying to lose weight? Gain muscle? Tone up? Increase your endurance?
