Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Decided to hit legs after being unconscious for the better part of the day because of these tonsilitis meds

Can't tell if these white flashes at the end of each rep are because I've barely eaten at all today or because we making gainz

 

[semtex]

Introducing Romanian deadlifts as a staple (meaning they’re in every workout) so now I have to deload Zerchers a bit to let my lower back get used to that

30 minutes on a stair master is like 2 hours for a Power lifter

 

[Waterproof]

My Elbow just locked up on me

Had to pop it, time to up my fish oil intake and bring out my Mark Bell Strong Powerlifting Elbow Sleeves.

I'm still going HEAVY

Right On, I used to do the same shyt too. I was power lifting and doing boxing at the same time got me lean, Real lean.

The lowest I got was 212, I was to light in the ass, My body frame can hold mass, I could of been a bodybuilder, I have a small waist and can hold weight without looking flabby. The biggest I got was 330

Last year I was doing Gracie Jujitsu after work and when that class ended I went to Golds Gym.

I dropped 25 pounds in one month doing Muay Thai and lifting weights

Judo was the hardest shyt I ever done, getting throwed everyday is no joke, and Judo throws fukkin hurt, if a Judoka ever get a person in a clinch and execute any of their throws, the fights over, I don't care who you is you ain't getting up.

I'm 41 breh still train with the savages on the mat and get it in the gym. I'm returning to Muay Thai in a few month's

We are Warrior's it's in our blood

 

[-G$-]

So pumped for these snatches in 5 hours I can’t even sleep. May have to go over early, slug some pre workout in the parking lot and do some outdoor sprint work before class.

@ocmfII

Any good instructions you can recommend for front squat bar placement? From the rack and during catch. Idk if my clavicles are more pronounce than most or what, but goddamn I can't find a consistently comfortable position.

Does the bar rest on the meaty part of the anterior delt or closer to where the shoulder joint is? Seems to be a mixed bag.... or poor instructions on these online videos. They'll say rest on top of shoulders, but the bar will literally be on their GH/AC joint

Am I protracting my scap/shoulder as much as possible? Or is there a retraction component in there somewhere?

Grip width?

Should it be touching your clavicle at all?

How much throat pressure () is acceptable?

I've always stalled around 225 because of the pressure. Had to power clean into position today, because no racks, and was reminded my shyt need to sharpen up if I wanna take it next level. Trynna take advantage finally having a gym with rubber plates who dgaf about dropping em.

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

chicken. bone. broth. drink that shyt.

I have it twice a day now (one first thing in morning and one just before bed) and all those minerals make me feel powerful when I'm at the gym. Minimal calories for those who are trying to cut down calorie wise and want to get nutrients in any case.

long read but check it out if you are interested: #BoneBroth Benefits for Digestion, Arthritis, and Cellulite

it's also allowing me to feel confident in resuming my 5x5 training next week even at a calorie deficit

 

[Capitol]

Decided to do some laps around the track yesterday. I would have did more but it started raining so you know I had to go. Not like I was feeling flabby and winded or anything like that tho
