Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[The ADD]

So, I train neck 3x a week. 3 sets of lying neck curls and 3 sets of the front curls with the lil neck harness thingy.

Ive gotten to the point where I can comfortably do 3x25 with about 50 pounds. Today one of the gym employees stopped me and said I shouldnt do that shyt cause it could fukk up my spine.

I really dont feel like I been ego lifting. 25 reps w 35 felt light so I moved up to the 45 pound plate. But should I just go back down to 35 or 15 and just go into the like 40 rep range or is she just being scary?

Does she appear to know anything about training?

I'm sure there is some risk of injury. I'd more ask why you are dedicating training to it............

I train full body every workout. That includes neck and forearms. I like having a yoked neck

She one of em crunch employees that prolly a certified physical trainer but I wouldnt really take advice from her. Then again that was the first time I interacted with her so maybe she knows her shyt. Ima just dial it back to just a 45 for a bit and keep adding reps to be safe

Ate a semi late breakfast so I’ll probably go to the gym on my lunch break. I’ve been failing at getting to the gym in the AM

Yeah so I’m not going on my lunch break lol. But thinking about changing to Push Pull Legs program for my next few weeks. More like push, legs, rest pull, legs, push rest

This new gym is light on the back equipment / doesn’t have the optimal set up. No bench for Lying T-Rows (prefer these as I can really isolate the back).

The DL platform has this soft foam to absorb the shock of a dropped bar. Problem is the foam has too much give so the weights sink below the platform you stand on. If it were hard rubber it would be level.

No machines for ISO mid-rows, just high rows...

Day 8 @The Butcher

carbed up at 8am to make sure I had something in the tank. Almost took a rest day

Leaving in about an hour for Day 5. Eating rn.


Lunch is about 1300 cals so I will also have something in the tank.

I’d go either Pull-Push-Legs or Legs-Push-Pull.

I also don’t like taking a rest day every fourth day but YMMV.

Hmm I feel like I have more in the tank not doing the same muscle groups on back to back days. Well push pull are different but some parts do overlap

Fair enough. My PPL splits prolly differ a lot from yours.

Folks really outchea half-squatting and don't even know.


Thankfully I'm up to the task of form policing.

Had to stop a creh from fukking his shyt up today.

Do I take a rest day or get all hopped up on preworkout and residual amounts of rage to knock out day 9

Had enough of the BS today and got into it with a dude about using 2 of 3 racks like he was at home

I’m trying to put a PPL workout in place for this last quarter. I’m probably gonna do 6 days a week with a rest after every 3rd day…but the inconsistency of my rest days is concerning lowkey

Resting every 3rd day means it takes 8 days to complete a week of workouts, not 7.

One of my many issues with PPL splits.
