Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

What about all the rows?
What about squat fails?
What about @portcityplaya putting his bountiful plates of food on the safeties to enjoy inbetween sets?

1) Rows are in the same boat. If folks aren’t rowing into the J-hooks then .

2) Most squat fails aren’t intentional I would imagine, so you’re right, but that would be accidental damage.

3) Unless he’s repping in Pizza Planet Fitness, @portcityplaya ain’t eating in the gym, so that’s moot.

Sounds like you #platewatching

I never thought to use the j hooks as I’d imagine whatever force that hits the bars would be more pronounced on a smaller space

I am #PlateWatching. Only someone who's stronger than myself can chastise me for it though.


As for the J-hooks and rows, I see folks do it for bent-over rows in the rack because the safeties get in the way more.

I prefer Pendlay rows from the ground so I don't really have those problems.

Non-stim pre-workouts (they're not #Powdas ) are just glorified nitric oxide boosters. They won't really improve strength or focus, or athletic performance in general.

As 'the pump' is not indicative of any training or performance benchmarks, you're basically taking gym Viagra to make you feel fuller.


That said, some you could try are:
- Pump Surge
- Legion Pulse (stim free)
- GAT PMP
- ProSupps Dr. Jekyll

Started hitting the weights again. My main observation is my Cali work helped me maintain strength. I am fully aware during each rep and my control is quite stable. Even with treadmill work, all the dam burpees i do extended my runs from before. Feels good to be back.

Just did a nice 5-mile run. It’s become a lil pre-Thanksgiving dinner tradition for me for the past 3-4 years.

Happy Thanksgiving my gym brehs and brehettes
