Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Some people hate walking outside and don’t have enough money or space for one at home.

Treadmill prolly pay itself off in less than a year of gym memberships, unless they're going to Pizza Planet Fitness.


Edit: A nice one for 16 hundo would take about 3 years to get paid off at my rate.

If you didn't use a bar, you didn't get it in.

Yea…not sure I’ll be able to squat today. Back ain’t 100% there. Had to switch from BO Row to Cable Row to preserve my back (amazing call by the way).

May do hack squat today and Friday as a replacement. Hopefully by next Tuesday I’ll be good to go.

The real question is will I be able to player soccer on Saturday

Too bad all that stretching couldn't help you out.

This OHPing your own bodyweight is going to take some time

That's the real test of strength brehs.

I’ve never seen anyone OHP their body weight irl at any commercial gym I’ve ever gone to. Did see someone hit 2 plates but it was a lot of leg drive and they had on a belt

I'm definitely using a belt when I flirt with bodyweight. Most folks don't even strict press like that so it's whatever to me.

This is good to be aware of when I start getting to those weights......






Riding this SL 5x5 wave I'll be there by the middle of October... .

There's not really a reason not to use a belt for any barbell lift, unless you're competing and it's prohibidado.

Even at my level you're already in the top 10 percentile for strength, so worrying about what nikkas weaker than yourself think about the merit of a lift is like worrying what the bum at the bottom of the freeway thinks of your whip as you drive by.


Nothing is better than that silence after a weak motherfukker gets shut down by you hitting a lift they could never dream of touching right after they tried to give you advice.



Then you add some moar weight to the bar.

I haven't seen it done either. Strict press your own bodyweight nah that would put brehs in a different category.

Just to get some perspective from my bench brehs.

I can incline dumbell bench the 100s for 10-11 reps

On flat bench I cant get past 265 x 2.

Is that incline in line with the flat or should I be able to flat bench more?

Edit- and right after I posted that I hit an easy triple, weight felt so light on the first rep I thought someone had taken plates off lol

Yea this lower back thing just messed up my whole routine this week. Legit could not squat or DL. Even the hack squat and leg press were iffy. Freaking herniated discs man

Gonna be all upper body this week. I should at least be able to play soccer though…we’ll see

At least the pain is subsiding. Next week I should be 100. Even taking a walk this Monday had me walking like a 95-yr old man

Too many people working out in the morning now smh

Maybe should alternate weeks between back and front squat.

Definitely stretch the night before. That’s I used to do.

You almost have to prep like an athlete when you’re initially starting squats regularly.

But after a while your body gets used to it.

From the sounds of it, even though have been squatting and deadlifting in the past few months, you’re body still isn’t really used to it.
