Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Cape Town JHB]

Brehs I haven't heard or seen anyone in the thread post anything about Charles Glass.

 

[NSSVO]

Are there any specific video tutorials from a real reputable source on how to squat properly, not just the broad general stuff but the nuanced stuff too.

I'm not a fan of squatting coz of the damage to knees, but I also recognize that it has no rival when it comes to leg development

I am sure there are, but I don't watch those due to having people teach me in before and during my service. I had two knee surgeries so I feel you on that. I have to ice up and elevate after leg day due to swelling and all that. Some of the more studious guys in here will probably jump in and tell you.

I think someone posted one of his videos in a string of videos a few weeks ago

his YouTube channel is dope tho. I added a few things that he said to my routine

Yip I've seen that video too.
He's the first guy on that coaching tutorial tip that I truly feel knows what he's talking about and is too principled to make videos just for views/money/clout.

I've been on a Charles Glass binge for a minute now.

Something I noticed and have always noticed in life when it comes to extremely gifted or knowledgeable black people, a whole lot CACs be at Golds Gym SPECIFICALLY to learn from Charles, they ear hustle everything and anything they can get from him and go make a killing overcharging people as Personal Trainers in their CAC social and business circles.

But I digress

Breh how does your stomach digest a big ass oatmeal with peanut butter after the age of 30 within 1-2 hours

Is that even possible

I'm doing fasted cardio just to stay in the game

I don't eat oatmeal with PB in it () but I always make at least a cup (dry) which = 2 + cups cooked, on top of the roughly 650 calories from the protons. Not accounting for the cream/half-and-half and sugar I mix in.

Oatmeal has fiber in it so I try not to eat too much of it before going to the gym.
POWDA + fiber + water + exercise =

It's funny cause all of the haters and fukk nikkas kept telling me my metabolism would slow down when I got older. We still waiting. But I hope they keep that same energy when it's time to take their ass to Weight Watchers.

Squatting properly does not damage your knees. If anything, it would make the muscles around the joint stronger so that they can better support the structures around them and make your joints feel better. It is a myth that lifting heavy (with proper form) causes damage to your joints, especially as you age.
Lifting anything improperly could definitely cause damage to your joints, among other things.


The amount of people I see squatting properly in any given gym I go to is probably close to 20%, max.


Ole buddy that showed up in that Wendy's shirt (not sure why that has me so mad ) had a damn trainer and she was letting him half-squat like it was nobody's business.

 

[Son Goku]

As far as sources on how to squat, there are several. You can look up videos on YT from channels like Jeff Nippard, Buff Dudes, Russel Orhii, and Squat University.

If you learn by reading and doing, Squatting Strength can teach you.

If you learn better by doing, make a stronk ass friend and have them show you in the gym.

So I got my boy to meet me at the gym early a few days ago. It was upper body day and he was kinda hanging with me for the most part and he ain’t slow me down. Got in the group text later he talking about I was trying to kill him
Nobody told him to ego lift and do my weight. I wouldn’t shame him for changing weights because I know how it is to start working out. But we made good time... it actually changed my opinion when it comes to lifting with a partner

Only met two that could hang with the kid.


Had one homeboy who could beat me on upper body but would always bytch out on lower body lifts. He'd also tag along then change the workout as he saw fit.
Most folks I know don't bother to try and tag along. I've accepted that I'll both lift and die alone.

My boy was a hopper and did track in college... but if you saw him now you wouldn’t know lol. But he did assisted dip & pull ups and changed a few things

And those are just the beginner templates. We haven't even gotten to the advance classes yet.
