@Serious, @houston911 yall still been hittin the gym?
:patrice: I've been using my girl as weight for cathletics does that count :shaq:


Been out the gym for the like 3 months, but I'm still not :flabbynsick: still at the same weight,:patrice: still eating healthy :manny:

I'm get 24 hour fitness soon so that I can go when no one is around. I can't get free around 4pm like I used to. So If I go I run into traffic at LA fitness, finding a spot to park,waiting for the squat rack :scusthov:, might be time I also try out a more premium gym, as well...

Finally at a point where I can do pull ups and chin ups, as someone who can pull 525 from the floor I couldnt keep ignoring that basic movement

It might not be impressive for say @semtex who one armed rows small farm animals but I'm damn proud. I made dem gains in 2014 :pachaha:
:salute: that's the biggest grip against some of the bigger cats in the gym, who are strong as shyt, but lack the fundamentals, actual functional strength.

Do you mean you couldn't do them at all or a certain number of reps?

Just wanted to let my gym brehs know incase y'all didn't,there's a class action settlement for people that bought oxyelite pro and jacked,up to $150 with no receipts required,I actually bout some off of amazon but didn't bother to get receipts,I claimed I got 2 of each,expecting a $110 check in a few months,use it for supplements :manny:
I haven't touched that shyt in years, I swear I almost went to cardiac arrest one time. But that shyt works. I thought I could lift cars and shyt like nothing. I would PR in the gym like nothing. DL and squats were nothing. I would finish both sets within 15 minutes, feeling no pain, actually felt like I could do more, but I always stopped short because my routine never called for extra exercises...

New Years Resolution:

No more nutrition talk with anyone not interested is researching and articles

Nope
I learned this along time. I never take any advice from people in the gym, especially on nutrition. :scusthov:

Some of the bs I've heard, just hurts my head listening too. I got a dope book on nutrition if anyone is interesting, I read it in college, it's an easy read through(not too heavy on the science jargon), but it's very informative on myths and propaganda in the media...

Low carb diets :scusthov:

It's so frustrating. People who played a year of college sports in the early 2000's trying to school you on nutrition. People who don't work out and have zero fitness goals trying to tell you what works best for you individually. :upsetfavre:

I've followed a lot of shyt that may have not been correct or optimal but some of the non-sense I hear.
