Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[BillBanneker]

Was able to get through it yesterday after a four day layoff. The real test is going to be when I go back in on thursday.

Starting IF too, going to see how this works for a month, finding the right window and getting cals in is going to be interesting.

Yeah but there won’t be a bar on your back

Damn right.
I might try some squats today see how they feel

If you gotta jump through hoops to make it work then it’s no bueno

They aren’t but it’s important to have them show.

If you ain’t got them tho......

Ain't nothing like those workout that just start out like shyt and you gotta push yourself through them. Focusing on the basic compound lifts again got me feeling right.

Alright brehs, a nikka finally hit the gym today. I'm not totally new as far as gym experience, a few years back in high school I used to wrestle and that training was no joke. But, after I was done like sophomore year I ain't hit the gym on a consistent basis since, here and there with a couple of my boys but never on a consistent regimen. Tryna get back on that, a little skinny fat right now you can't really notice when I got a shirt on but I'm kinda tired of not having abs or at least a flat stomach.

I'm pretty much just gonna start over and was thinking doing 5x5, came in today and hit biceps and chest pretty much kinda winging it. Came in and a nikka got weaker What yall recommend? I'm pretty much tryna gain muscle I'm cutting out sodas and unhealthy stuff

Well you stated two goals that are opposite of each other in some regards. Are you trying to lose fat or gain muscle?

This is always the conundrum

I would probably focus on gaining muscle... if you do it in a responsible way you won't get fat. You'll actually get a *little* leaner if noob gains are in play. But you have to be as diligent on your diet and weight watching as you would in a cut.

Im finally in the groove of working out everyday.

You really do get that mindset of I cant believe i went days without exercising.

Its such a weird feeling

This should be the quoted answer here when this question comes up.

Oh, I know I'm going to have to jump through hoops trying IF anyway.
