Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Da_Eggman]

Nobody even said anything about going "heavy".

I just suggested using a barbell.

I do then but I ain’t post that on the gram and you know why

No, I don't know why. I also don't post on IG so .


No worries. I only know three folks irl that post workout shyt on it and are actually really bout it.

The rest, it seems, should be doing more lifting and less stunting.

This guy and barbells

That's how you get to be #POWDA1.
Stopped at 545 yesterday. Straight bar, no straps.

Last two sets of that 4x5 were brutal.

Caught up with one of the gym brehettes yesterday. Said she caught the Covid and lost 13 pounds and her strength is washed

Not surprised, especially if she stopped lifting and became detrained.


How big is she, and was she really moving weight like that or is she a female fukkboy?

She's pretty small framed, honestly don't know where she lost the 13 from. She trains hard/smart but she's not moving weight like that.

Gotcha.
Makes perfect sense.

This new gym is $50 a month more expensive with 1/4th the equipment

And they want a full year’s payment up front too...

I’d use my work gym but the barbell lifts are all on the smith machine

Might look into a boxing gym instead for the next couple of months...

EDIT: Why the aversion to fasting? I’d say the majority of Americans could use one ore two days without food

I do it from time to time. I find it good for mental clarity and just giving my stomach a break from digestion.

Not so much aversion as that some of the claims made in it are not in-line.

Do American need a break from food because they don’t eat well? If so then that is a different issue.

Break from digestion? Not talking about you personally but if you are eating balanced then why would you need to? Your body has evolved and is made to to handle these things.

If it’s a general preference then sure whatever but a lot of the “reasoning” is a bit faulty. Like great “you” didn’t eat for two days but then in the next sentence you are telling me you ate a burger, fries and a milkshake shake after that. Doesn’t compute.

Idk, I think we’ve had this convo in this thread before but the moment people mention a benefit of a fast e.g. mental clarity, feeling lighter etc there seems to be another camp with knives out looking to constantly refute the claims.

Fasting isn’t for everyone but I won’t knock anyone that wants to cut back for a bit.

Maybe but I’m also talking from the perspective of someone that’s done it.

Most of the time it turns into an IF is the magic pill platform which we know isn’t true. I think the mental clarity and feeling better aspect usually is a minor point to the magic pill rant.

There is a longer discussion but I’m not against it. I’m against people suggesting it with no frame of reference to how it can/should be applied relative to training and fat loss.
