Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Aye one of y'all nikkas give me a good workout regimen

Whenever I gain body fat it mainly all go to my face

I'm tryna slim my face back down but also tone up. This lil pudge of a stomach is irritating

I'm 6'6 230lbs right now. Realistically I wanna be around 220-225. I just feel like I might lose to much weight .

Currently going 3 times a week, usually only 20-25min on treadmill or stairs along with lifting. Although I do need to hit the bench more.

Help a fat face Breh out

You are gonna need to lose more to make any meaningful visible changes. Prob gonna have to get down to 200-210 to get that face chiseling

How many days a week do you go... I'd do something like lift/cardio/lift/cardio etc. Dont bother with body part days, do a full body or upper/lower split. And make the cardio sessions long... try to get an hour at least each trip... and keep your heart rate in that 130-140 range. Also obviously tighten up your diet. You still have time before mid summer

When I do go it's usually max 20min cardio....I hate running. Don't mind stairs or bike tho. Obviously like you said I gotta increase Cardio.

Right now only 3 days ...was going 4-5 before playoffs started .

Damn was hoping I didn't have to lose too much weight . I used to be 188 in highschool &

I got them Dwight Howard shoulders so hopefully I'm good

Gaining weight easily

Losing it relatively easy

These runs are killing my hips, my right is hurting like a bytch.

Ugh, it's not the running that's killing my hip. It's the driving. Prayerfully only two more weeks of this then I'll be straight.

People school me on deadlifts.

I know it's a full body workout but I do feel it in my lowerback. Not pain per se but a "tightening".

I already have some damaged discs from a prior soccer injury so I don't want to aggravate anything.

Most people have said my form is pretty good so maybe I should lower the weights.

I'm doing 275 right now for 3 sets of 6.

Now that I've moved to lifting 3 times a week I def gotta use Deadlifts as the base for my back days.



Still though....

You have to get the “back day” thought out of your mind because ultimately is a posterior chain movement. Your hams and glutes are the initial power and to some degree the movement moved up your body to your hips and upper back depending on your grip.

Do a search on tnation for Tony Gentilcore. He has some good articles and videos on it.

Also if you are serious about progressing in weight you would be good to train your lower back and posterior chain to handle it. You can reach a limit of what you can do and that’s one of the ways injury can occur.

Good info. I don't care too much to lift extreme numbers. I prefer the physique forming benefits of the exercise.

I may just need to do some other excerises that will increase my lower back strength.

Tip: Always Do This Before You Deadlift | T Nation

I was just talking about this....

A cue to force yourself into this.... is to push your knees towards your elbows before you lift.... You will feel the posterior engage

Displaces the weight much more evenly and you not overloading the lower back.
