Why stop there?

There was a dude at the gym today, looked to be about 6'2- 6'3, point is he was taller then everyone on the court.

we are about to play 2 on 2, and seeing how he is taller then everyone I ask you just wanna post up?

Dude says to me " If I can, I really don't know how to" I had to refrain from giving him a dirty look, because I haven't balled in a while, and I was going to be trash.

I'm shorter then 6'2 and I post people up if the match up calls for it!

I guess the difference is in your approach. A lot of people just want a protocol to follow. It is a lot to try and parse out and understand. I just wrote a program for one of my wife's friends that really broke everything down.

But for me, and a lot of brehs here, a lot of the fun comes from figuring shyt out on my own. I had a lot of missteps on my way up, but I'm here now and I know what I'm doing. I find a lot of satisfaction in that. But for someone who just wants to get results ASAP- which is fair and possible- I can see how all the fitness social media shyt can be frustrating. You are 100% right, a lot of people selling coaching and plans have no business telling anyone how to do anything

Yeah man...

shyt is so methodical until all the pieces come together and you find your "groove"...

Been so tired after getting in from work...

Oly complexes moving along nicely

1 high hang power clean
+
1 hang power clean
+
1 power clean
+
2 front squats

225# moving extra smooth and controlled. I’m finally feeling comfortable w these lifts to the point where I can tell when they’re correct and when I’m making mistakes I can pinpoint what’s going wrong. Some of the hardest shyt I’ve done fitness wise but so rewarding when it clicks.

Dips are the truth

When you slightly lean foward and fully activate your pecs

GOAT and heavily underrated exercise.

I threw flat bench out the window.... chest is quite buxom.... shoulders are relieved. Everthing isn't for everybody. I was stuck at 235x5 for like 3 years

I just had my first experience with Planet Fitness. So my boy asked me to workout with him today just on some random shyt. I went ahead and did so just cause it made sure I went somewhere to workout. But he has a membership at Planet Fitness so I just decided to give it a try.
















Got damn I was the whole time there. The dumbbells went only up to 75. No free weight bench press. No free weight squat racks. No bar or even a spot to do deadlifts. And I swear I have never seen so many weight machines and treadmills in one place in my life. If you only want to do some cardio, I guess it’s cool. For anybody that wants to do any serious lifting, .

^^^ yea from what I've heard is planet fitness targets people who don't actually want to get fit or who are just "moving" to maintain. They're anti bodybuilder - thus the low weights - and fukking serve unlimited pizza once a month

1. Planet Fitness is a big, purple-colored adult daycare marketed to people afraid to go to an actual gym.

Oh, and all you gym cheapskates

Consider that the average cost of a gym membership is $55.00 per month

Stop saying $40-50 is expensive it ain't $10-20 cheap but it's not $135 expensive

Totally lost track of how difficult overhand grip is on deadlifts compared to alternating

I have a question, would you guys recommend this workout plan for me?

Mainly I want to gain muscle and shed some of that belly fat(skinny fat).

Monday, Wednesday, Friday I plan on doing compound exercises with HIIT cardio.

Tuesday & Thursday I plan on doing isolation exercises.

Detail it more. This is a pretty broad description.

HIIT three times a week seems not sustainable combined with the other plans and a little counter intuitive to your stated goals.
