Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Shout out to power lifters man.....

I’ll be on Reddit browsing r/nutrition, gym, weight loss ect.

seeing diets with salmon w/ avocado or some shyt. Nice salads, ect.


I scroll to r/powerlifting and the top comment in the diet thread is “what is your favorite pop tart”

to my kinfolk as well.

Anybody break their typical routine for a couple weeks to focus on areas that need development? I was thinking about two leg days - one for unilateral movements only to benefit my left leg, and an upper body press day, my pressing movements are weak AF compared to pulling (partly due to a weak wrist).

I typically do a routine that has me hitting everything ar least twice a week so if I feel something is lacking I will add more volume for that specific group. So if my delts are lacking, I will do my normal lifts that are targeting them and add one or two more additional lifts. From what you posted it sounds like you are doing a sort of push/pull/leg routine which you should be hitting legs twice already. Do you use wrist wraps?

Nah, right now I’m hitting full body twice a week since I go to this circuit class 3x week and don’t know what the lifts will be, I needed a routine that would be helpful to supplement that.

And I have some wrist wraps I never use. I’ll try them to see if that helps

Yeah I wouldn't use them all the time but when you feel like your wrist are giving out on you, throw them on.

I’m thinking of bushing incline bench press. I know it’s good for upper chest etc etc, but no matter what I do it keeps fukking my shoulders up and I don’t really want any injury that’ll keep me out of the gym for a long period. I’ll focus on flat bench and look for other workouts that’ll hit my upper chest

I’ll do more warm up and more shoulder warm up and stretching before and after every session.

 

[Koba St]

Just found a great shoulder warm up on YouTube. Will be doing this before after every session

farmers walk exercise good for forearms?

To some degree. Definitely helps with grip strength but ultimately it’s an isometric hold so you aren’t moving the muscle through its “growth plane”
