I want to say 99% of the people on the platform are doing shyt that isn’t even my warmup.

You’d be surprised how many times I see people load up the bar with those 10 pound plates and act like they’re doing something :dwillhuh:

And it men be grown men too :scusthov:

Sometimes I be thinking I’m going to hard for no reason but then I check the fitness literature it agrees with my ethos and my mindset.

Like the video I posted above, it says men should be using free weights and not machines.

Men should also be lifting heavy and relatively close to their max.

So if these men in the gym are struggling with 85lbs on a platform, then they need reassess their life and get all the way fukk out of here.
He walked up with his belt on and an “I’m about to fukk shut up” attitude. I’m taking my time and picking stuff up off the area around the platform because people….what I had on the bar was clearly someone working. He asks someone else and they point to me. Then he asks me if I’m working. Yep. He hangs out and waits for the other platform to clear. By the time he hit top sets I was still warming up :manny:

Im not even strong like that. People just do too much.

:patrice: I know you’re motivated to be more consistent and all but are taking enough rest days?

Not everyone can lift and recover like @Son Goku

Just trying look out for people so that they don’t fatigue, burn out and can experience the proper muscle growth.
Thanks bruh... My rest day is typically Sunday.

Look, if y'all have never done cryotherapy before, you're missing the fukk out. I feel so rejuvenated. Like my body feels fresh as hell. Almost like I didn't even work out.

I'll look into it. I know athletes have been doing it for years now.

But I still think maybe you should add another day or two of rest.

You'd be surprised how more responsive your body is when you're more rested.


As a rule of thumb, I always tell everyone, most muscle gains come on off days, primarily when you're sleeping.

With the exception being cats like BigScust and Son Goko, who basically are athletes, so their body is a lot more responsive to extreme stress.

Please don't lump me in with the likes of @BigScust. He follows the Way of the Warrior. :hubie:


I follow the Way of the Sinmen Roll and now I have to go grocery shopping. :troll:

These babies came the other day.

I used them to squat and deadlift today, and the difference was noticeable. :wow:

Eying metcon's right now on Amazon, they're dropping in price. :ehh:

I wouldn't deadlift in those. :hubie:
