I don’t even know what’s going on anymore but trying to do weights in extreme heat is just so so so moronic

If you are super cold-stop being anemic :gucci:



Lifting weights in the heat is the goat. :dwillhuh:


I miss lifting in the sandbox in the summer. :mjcry:
70%+ humidity, over 100 in the shade, lifting in the open desert air with the guns on display.
:wow:

I don't listen to EDM music, but I have some outstanding workouts, especially while on the treadmill when I go to a gym with that plays that music...... However it usually consists of gyms occupied with predominately cacs and Hispanics :mjpls::yeshrug:

I have outstanding workouts listening to Hip-Hop with Kneegrow artists only when I go to the gym with predominately cacs and Hispanics. :mjpls:

@The Butcher is it right to have my girl doing compound movements as the basis for her workouts? I saw some shyt some trainer threw together for her and I was disgusted :hhh:

Better still, kindly share any female beginner routines if you have any

Imma be honest, I don't think beginner women should weight train any differently than beginner men. @dora_da_destroyer once brought up the point that women can handle more volume than guys, but that point is moot IMO when talking beginner full-body weight training routines and not intermediate/advanced splits.


Whenever I trained ladies in the gym I always had them do generic noob programs: All Pros, ICF/SL 5x5, etc. I'm of the mindset that until folks can squat, bench, and deadlift basic weights with non-cringeworthy form, all that other shyt (hours of isolation exercises, 50 different machines) is for the birds. fukk you doing 10 sets of kickbacks but can't squat your bodyweight to depth for?
:camby:


Compound lifts move the most weight in the least amount of time. Seeing those numbers go up and seeing the physical changes from compounds should be enough to get them hooked. What the hell is the benefit of hitting a muscle group a day if you're only showing up a few times a week and neglecting the other groups anyways?


Once lifting becomes a habit and they understand basic things like movement patterns, agonist/antagonist muscle groups, creating caloric deficits, etc., my work is done and I leave them be and they can do whatever they want.

I have a coworker that wants me to put her on game.

I already know she's not gonna make it, and she hasn't even started yet.

As smart as some of these gals are, it's just too much conditioning for them to overcome:
- you can't spot-reduce shyt without surgery
- lifting weights won't make you "bulky"
- cardio isn't the most efficient way to burn calories
- compound lifts are probably >>> if you're on a time crunch
- training chest/shoulders/back won't make you She-Hulk
- you actually have to eat at a surplus in order to build muscle


She's not gonna make it, but then will probably think that I don't know De Whey. :mjpls:
