Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[xXMASHERXx]

This rain really needs to let up..this ain’t the Cali I was told about. I think by next week Thursday we’ll be in the clear and I can get back to my Sunday cycling.

Leg today was meh. I had to abridge it because I had a 7am meeting to attend. Just wrapped up from the gym only to find out I was listed as optional for the meeting

Still got in heavy DLs, leg press and some calf raises. No leg curls or leg extensions, though.

Just one of those days. Something is better than nothing and showing up is the name of the game.

I’ll be back tomorrow for shoulder and arms

Yeah this weather is not fun to run in. I need to find an indoor track near me.

Says breh, any of yall have adjustable dumbbells? I've been looking at reviews for different ones and it's like for every good review you see there is someone else saying it's a piece of crap. I want to keep building up the stuff I have for my home gym. The nearest gym to me is planet fitness but I might have to rock with them

I've posted a few times about Powerblocks and how much I like them. That said, every brand/version is going to have someone who loves them and someone who hates them. If I had more space, I wouldn't have went the adjustable DB route.

I been in the gym. I used to 4-5x a week. I just have moved to generally hitting every muscle group each session for schedule constraints so consecutive days aren't necessary. In fact this 3rd day feels a splash irresponsible but I have to ensure my 3rd trip this week.

I can't lie the 01 Nas/24 Kendrick button been a little bigger and redder

It's all good bro.

Deadlifts
Shoulder press (barbell or dumbbells)
35# plate front delt raise* (new component)
10-13 Pullups

X5
How soft is this?

Wasn't as clean as I wanted but finally pulled 4 plates for a rep on the barbell. Hit it with the hex bar a couple weeks ago.

Forgot to keep the plate delt raise though

If you want to get hype before a lift session, watch these two videos.

The good thing is DBs hold their value pretty well. Especially if there are tariffs on China (where a lot of them are made), you'll get good resale value on them on Marketplace if you don't like them.

Today’s shoulder and arm day was very very frustrating. Probably a 6/10 workout as my right shoulder has started acting up again. Had to use the machine lateral raises instead of using cables to preserve my shoulder. That’s two back to back days with modified workouts that force me to drop the intensity.

To cap it off, I looked outside after doing planks and I saw it started raining…AGAIN. Had to bike back in the rain

Regardless, a 6/10 workout is better than 0/10 so there’s that. Still 5/5 this week.

Sun will be back out by noon and the fields should be dry tomorrow for my soccer game

Can’t wait to take out my frustration on the opposing team’s goalie

Hattrick incoming

What gym are you going to? I used to go to the Fitness SF in SoMa. Quality old school equipment, not that new shyt that only hits your joints. Problem was way too many fruits in there.

I go to FitnessSF in Oakland by Lake Merritt. It’s pretty good for the price ($50 a month) but I do wish it were bigger and 24 hrs like the 24hr fitness I used to go to in San Mateo.

Problem was way too many fruits in there.

Bruh, it’s the B(g)ay Area for a reason. Even my spot got a fruity contingent as well. Probably not as many as SF proper.

Only seen like four women at my gym worth pulling up on but I just get in my workout and bounce
