Comes back to the complex I suffered from and didn't see the light for so long: Folks thinking that lifting weights is as simple as doing a bunch of physically exerting exercises in whatever chaotic order sweating and that's it. THat there isn't a science to the shyt.

Not only this, but newbs seem to think all exercises are the same. They're not. :francis:

Even if you're not tryna be a powerlifter or Oly lifter, those lifts have great value for the general population.


Most "casual" lifters would benefit from the Big 3, pull/chin-ups, barbell rows, and strict pressing more than they will from doing random Hammer Strength or selectorize machines their whole workout.


But I can't tell you the number of folks I see every day in the gym that start and end all their workouts without touching a barbell and then seem to wonder why they're annually weak fukks. :snoop:

You want to gain lean mass on low carb. Not really optimal….

Unless you mean low carb for the shake to allow more whole food carbs
I want to attempt but if I can’t, then fukk it I try, fail & go the normal route:yeshrug:

Who raised these nikkas (in the gym)? :scust:

Dudes in here doing calis and machines and weighted walking to shred down for an event but won't go slightly lower carb/higher proton and lift actual heavy iron and sprint to get right?



Look like not Tarzan, lift like Jane, brehs. :hhh:
He already said "bananas & fruits" only. :francis:
Let’s be reality. A lot of them don’t even look like Tarzan :hubie:
Y’all some ruthless summabytches:mjgrin:

So you prefer to waste time and effort on a lark?

You said your piece. I have a homie who wants to "get a six pack", bought some L-Carnitine and says combined with his doing sit ups he is going to get rid of the subcontaneous fat in the lower abdominals..... :francis:....Told him you can't spot reduce fat and you need to do some proper lifts too (of course doesn't do the Big 3)......gotta let them waste the time and effort and when they come back hit them with :francis:...can't help ya homie, you don't wanna listen.

Funny thing about sit-ups is that they are apt for poor form so the only effectiveness is iffy.

This is very true, luckily I already got my 6 pack (weighted captains chair is :banderas:), just want to shred off the last bit of fat to let it fully show.

I was definitely ready for tank weather this past weekend. Definitely got some looks. It was glorious.

:mjtf:


Been wearing tanks outside for like the past 5 months straight, even when it was 20+ below.
