Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Serious]

Agreed on both fronts. I don’t even mind the anecdotes as long as they’re coming from legit gym gawds.


My self-rule, word to Guy Sensei: Never take training advice from someone less advanced than you are.

I don’t take dietary advice from fat folks. I don’t take lifting advice from folks weaker or scrawnier than myself. By that metric, 90+% of folks itl (and by extension the coli) aren’t ”qualified” to tell me nothing.


You might be more knowledgeable than I am but that hasn’t translated into altering your reality.


YMMV.

I be the same way.

Especially the cats that be like I used to do xyz when I was your age. And I’m like no didn’t.

We have a different mindset because I would never let myself go .

Some old head bought 135,140, and 145lb DBs to the gym. The most I ever did was 100. I didn’t realize It’s a work out just to get set up. Hit 135x6,135x5,140x2 and I was gassed.

At least you got em up (pause)

I went to lay back for db press and the groove in the adjustable bench threw off my balance so I ended up dumping the 85s

I pretended I was slightly injured then a minute later hit em for a set of 3 in case someone saw me fail earlier

Getting the 1st rep up is the hardest part

What steps can a breh take to minimize the loss of strength when losing weight?

U prolly are.


Two weeks is definitely enough time to not only detrain but for your muscles to start to atrophy. If you were eating less and/or getting less protein in, your muscles may have began to catabolize in order to hit your amino needs.

If you were on breatine (read: creatine) and stopped for the two weeks, that might be part of it too.
