Lifting Heavy Things Up

[quaint elk]

What now

is it time to swap gyms

[polar pebble]

Show up in 3inch inseam shorts next time

[quaint elk]

tomorrow is squat day

unevitably im gonna be wearing whore shorts

[polar pebble]

It’s the law of the land

[calm dragon]

Mf this is why we wear short shorts

Debating between hitting ass/hammies infront of jim qt or slamming heavy squatties

[quaint elk]

Always heavy squats

[quaint elk]

Problem is now I gotta go jim at 6 am everyday

[polar pebble]

6am gross

Jim is a 9pm activity

[quaint elk]

Too late don't want to get mugged

[polar pebble]

It’s worth it

[quaint elk]

Naaa

I'm also pretty much in bed by 2130

22 at the latest

[jaunty maple]

all squats should be front squats

back squat haters

[calm dragon]

But bunda beother

[calm dragon]

I did that for a year nearly, wake up 5 to go to jim next to work by 6

Wake up, -15 outdoors and pitch black to go to jimothy newly awoken

[calm dragon]

Common front squatter L

[polar pebble]

Sumo > conventional

Fight me

[jaunty maple]

:deadge:

[calm dragon]

Aint ever tried sumo but I kinda wanna

Realistically sumo = for short people conventional = for normal people

[polar pebble]

I had si joint issues from deadlifting heavy

[calm dragon]

I’m getting there

Soon tm

[polar pebble]

And sumos seemed to have fixed that

[calm dragon]

Fuck SHOULD I JUST SCRAP MY PLANS AND DEADLIFT TODAY?

[polar pebble]

And even though I don’t pull heavy anymore I never swapped back

[calm dragon]

[polar pebble]

Yes

Answer is always deads

[calm dragon]

Realistically I don’t actually have time today

Need to speedrun, grab food, clean my house for guests and run to meet friends for dinner

[polar pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-cute-stand-gif-17289064

Pull heavy then walk around like this

[calm dragon]

Mf I’m gonna destroy my legs and walk around on our night out like a fucking goblin

[quaint elk]

idk man i enjoy pulling both ways

they were always pretty similar in weight for me as well

[sharp mica]

bruh I need to get out tonight or something

Just go down to the bar by myself or some shit

lift heavy at lunch doing shoulders

gonna blow out my arms too

[quaint elk]

Do not drink alone

[calm dragon]

Never tried sumo but moving down in weight frustrates me like nothing else

Might now that I’ve hit my pr goal in conventional

[sharp mica]

wdym?

like bro

I literally sit at home alone all the time I need to do something

you legit don't even get what living here is like as a 33 year old with no friends.

like most of the people you gonna meet are like 50+

or if they're your age they're married/engaged/have kids

I don't talk to people at the gym much cause I'm just there to lift heavy shit

[calm dragon]

Sounds like it time to use dating apps for friends :^)

[sharp mica]

yeah no one does that

[sharp mica]

@calm dragonpick my second tri exercise today

bis im gonna hit incline db curl and ez bar

tris im gonna do skullcrusher and you pick

[calm dragon]

Do cable kickbacks

[sharp mica]

bro

thats ass work

tf

[calm dragon]

Put the cable relatively low, lean forwards and make it so your upper arm is horizontal

Wat

No

Tris bro

[sharp mica]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qb_DJ11vIUg

[calm dragon]

Wait 1 sec lemme see if I can find it

Not those

[sharp mica]

LOOK HER ASS

I'd clap them cheeks insta

anyways

[calm dragon]

https://youtu.be/94DXwlcX8Po

5:10

[sharp mica]

ye

ok

[calm dragon]

Try and keep your elbow still, do 1 sec out 1 sec back

You will not need a lot of weight trust me

Aim like 8-10 reps for failure, I normally dropset my 2nd/3rd set of these

And they burn like fucking hell

I don’t even move my elbow as much as he does and try to keep it really quite strict

My fav tri movement

[sharp mica]

why are DB kickbacks bad

[calm dragon]

He explains it too but

Think about it

You have no tension on the tri until the top

Meanwhile a cable you have constant tension from the start

[sharp mica]

makes sense

[calm dragon]

Since you’re pulling it outwards instead of a db just being gravity pulling it downwards which isn’t the same angle you’re pulling

That’s the case w a lot of movements people hype

[sharp mica]

bruh I'm gonna die today

shoulders then arms

to finish the week

[calm dragon]

Brother I did a heavy ahhh legday just sunk down in my sofa and relaxdd

My legs are dying I couldn’t walk my calfs are legit non functional

[quaint elk]

Me tomorrow morning

Sqwaaaaaats

And then back leg work

Zine I need thick ass forearms

[calm dragon]

Same brother that’s why I do 3 forearm things per back day

Gotta get the juicer arms

[quaint elk]

Every row exercise is also a forearm exercise

[sharp mica]

TIME FOR GYM

[quaint elk]

Also I just realized I skipped traps all month

[calm dragon]

Ye but I use straps for the max top sets

So we just hit extra forearms

[calm dragon]

I just shrug once every week or two, cba building mega traps

[quaint elk]

I need them

My traps smol

Smol and tiny

[calm dragon]

[quaint elk]

[quaint elk]

I just hate doing trap work

Feels silly as fuck

[calm dragon]

[quaint elk]

Silly exercise

Every shrugging exercise is silly af

[calm dragon]

[calm dragon]

When I finally get big I'll shave myself

[polar pebble]

Don’t do it

[calm dragon]

rn I just have to shave my back or it legit looks like I'm bigfoot but with pubes on my back

[polar pebble]

I did it and a few of my girl friends thought I was in a manic episode

[calm dragon]

well none of my girl friends know how hairy I am

aside from arms legs

[polar pebble]

[calm dragon]

ig

[sharp mica]

Plural?

Bruh?

I'm over here STARVING this mf got multiple

[calm dragon]

SEE HOW I SEPARATED GIRL AND FRIENDS

They're just female friends brother

I aint piping nobody

We are full starvation

[polar pebble]

I did cheer and showed up to practice one day with shaved legs and have never been interrogated so hard in my life

[calm dragon]

I identify as a volcel

[calm dragon]

ye I think my parents would lose it

And some friends would be v weirded out

but

[quaint elk]

Starving aka fucking multiple times a week

[calm dragon]

ye mf whining about starving

I've been starving for 19 months

[polar pebble]

Dont worry guys us torturing ourselves by picking up heavy objects for hours a day isn’t weird but shaving our legs is

[calm dragon]

Actually make that 21 months

[calm dragon]

Heavy circles go brrrrrr

[polar pebble]

[calm dragon]

[sharp mica]

?

What

No

[calm dragon]

[quaint elk]

Great thing about this gym is I can hog the squat rack and no one cares

[calm dragon]

I'm itching for jim but I'm also so hungover I don't wanna leave my room

[polar pebble]

Stair master while hungover >>>

[calm dragon]

Watching shite romcoms sipping icecold coke and being fully reclined >>>> movement

[sharp mica]

[sharp mica]

My gym has 7 squat racks

3 of which have lifting platforms it's great. No one gives a fuck if you do rows in the rack

Even though you're "not supposed to"

[calm dragon]

Idk no one cares here either I have never seen anyone whinge about it either

But we also have somewhere in the 8-10 range of racks etc

[sharp mica]

I can imagine if you were doing curls or bench

But like ye

[calm dragon]

I just don’t go during peak hours so there’s always multiple available

I can curl I can do w/e the fuck I want

[sharp mica]

Only issue I have with my gym. Way too much space is taken up by cardio stuff and warm up area. Plus one for the areas is technically for trainers only. Which you can use only if they're not in sessionn

The free weight area is tiny so it's a PITA to go at peak hours

Also theres only 1 calf raise machine so good fucking luck if its busy and you gotta do calves

[calm dragon]

Ye we have like 8 racks or smth, 5 benches by the db’s and then an entire machine area/ cable area/bench, incline n all area

Ye we only have 1 seated 1 standing calf

@quaint elk a friend of a friend that I met yday showed his "ultra huge" gymbro friends ppl split

mf was doing 3x15-20 on everything and doing 8-10 diff exercises PER DAY and doing a 6 day ppl split

I have never in my fucking life seen such a gymbro junk volume awful fucking setuip

[quaint elk]

KEK

The amount of volume for no fucking reason

[calm dragon]

I legit started laughing when this guy (never worked out before, tiny dude who just wanted to get a bit more fit) got recommended THAT SPLIT

[sharp mica]

I still dont get this junk volume thing

Like I would think more work is just better

[calm dragon]

Do you understand RIR/RPE

?

[sharp mica]

No

[calm dragon]

RIR = Reps in reserve, RPE = Rate of perceived exertion, p much they're opposites of eachother right

So any given set can be rated on these scales

From 0-10

RPE 10 = you went to failure

RIR 10 = you had ATLEAST 10 more reps

Either way, for optimal training you want to be close to failure, at about RPE 8+

Meaning at max you could've cranked out another rep or two, recent studies also showed that for hypertrophy more so than strength, actually going to muscular failure matters even more than people thought before

The last reps in a set, the actually hard ones, those are the ones that actually yield results

[quaint elk]

Holy shit zine I love you

Sanest RH member

[calm dragon]

The earlier ones, they're not as valuable. Doing a bunch of high volume shit work that doesn't actually push you, doesn't yield actual gains it just gives you more fatigue e.g junk volume

[calm dragon]

You doing a bunch of extra sets just means your sets arent high intensity enough

And doing those sets is just causing you to fatigue both your muscles and your CNS

[quaint elk]

Which is why we always go to failure

[calm dragon]

^

[quaint elk]

Some exercises just flat out technical failure (bench squat dead ohp (

Some just cheat out extra reps fuck it we ball and cry

[calm dragon]

Going to failure in lower rep ranges (depending on movement ofc, but a lot of compounds should be just like 5-8 but that comes down to programming, strength vs hypertrophy and what your goals are)

Is goated

I'm never sore for more than a day or two, whilst getting all the gains that I need

[quaint elk]

YEP

[calm dragon]

Every repeat day in my 6 day split feels like I'm fully refreshed and I feel like I can max out everytime

[quaint elk]

I feel my shoulders and quaddies bigger

[calm dragon]

[quaint elk]

Feels great so far

[calm dragon]

That being said, doing high intensity work means you take a bit of a longer break between sets right

[quaint elk]

You enjoy Myo reps zine?

[calm dragon]

So compounds you go 3-5 min rest, non compounds you can probably work with 2-3 but it's very genetics and person to person based

[calm dragon]

I did them for calfs and tris earlier this year

They feel fucking crazy

[quaint elk]

Did them today for calves

So good

My calves be tingling

[calm dragon]

But rn I just dropset some shit, but I honestly just fucking whack shit to failure on repeat and I'm getting ALOT bigger and stronger

Compared to my gains last year

like my lat pulldown alone has gone from uhh, 60kg to 85-90kg in the span of 4 months?

[quaint elk]

Big

[calm dragon]

WE LOVE FAILURE TRAINING

Also, failure training is (to me) the BY FAR most enjoyable way of working out

It's so satisfying absolutely slamming it

[quaint elk]

Ye

Ig showed me a post of a fitness girl good God I need her

[calm dragon]

Musclemommies go brrr

[quaint elk]

I'm bouldershouldersexual

It's that simple

[calm dragon]

Btw why does your country have some insane amount of roided women

Who look absolutely insane

[quaint elk]

Oh you know

[calm dragon]

not always good insane,

[quaint elk]

Fitness is HUGE here

And women want some absolutely gigantic ass

And legs

They be like "oh I got 1.35m of ass"

[calm dragon]

Ye I didn't know to what degree until I started seeing that shit on my timeline

I really don't get the ultra roided + fake implant combo

But thats personal pref ig

[quaint elk]

There's a gym in my neighborhood that's almost exclusive to roided girls

They do some very uhh

Unconventional? Workouts

[calm dragon]

This is their head coach I think

[calm dragon]

mfw roid store has new stuff in

[quaint elk]

This woman I just linked coaches a bunch of bikini / ifbb women

[calm dragon]

She looks legit insane

[quaint elk]

Her workouts basically make every woman cry

[calm dragon]

not good insanel, like asylum insane

[quaint elk]

She takes them to absolute failure

Mental muscular and technical failure

[calm dragon]

Yeah noted, watched 3 vids now of women crying/moaning

[quaint elk]

Oh for sure

[quaint elk]

And people love her

She gets results, she's expensive as fuck and she knows her way around steroids

[calm dragon]

Ye well if anything gym related is called anything with "DNA" I'm assuming it's just a roid federation

[quaint elk]

[calm dragon]

Either it's roids or it's a DMAA pwo

[quaint elk]

Amazon delivery inc

[calm dragon]

(on the topic of DMAA pwos?)

[quaint elk]

no dmaa

Just regular pwo with copious amounts of caffeine

[calm dragon]

That's that good shit

[quaint elk]

I really wanted one with citrulline malate

Couldn't find one in Brazil for a good price sadge

[calm dragon]

Ye I'm kinda amazed that mine is so cheap

Taste is aight, but the dosage seems p good wont lie

[quaint elk]

Btw this image

They're lunging all the way up a mountain in tandem

[calm dragon]

THIS IS A FUCKING CULT

[quaint elk]

Oh absolutely it is a cult

A cult of pretty much all juiced women

[calm dragon]

Also I wonder how many kg of implants are lunging up that hill

[quaint elk]

[calm dragon]

All I see are water balloons

[quaint elk]

I saw him once in person

[quaint elk]

It's weird when you meet an actual bodybuilder irl

[calm dragon]

Yeah there's a couple in the big inner city jim that I went to before

Also means that if I'm doing shit for an entire weekend, going away w friends or whatnot I can hit early jim fri and late jim when I get home sunday

[calm dragon]

You need to combo it with giga tempo music to up the heartrate

[sharp mica]

Bit of cinnamon. Protein powder. Blast

[quaint elk]

[bleak wedge]

Me

[fervent hatch]

[bleak wedge]

Hataro can probably bench twice my max as a 8-10 rep set

[sharp mica]

No lmao

I bench like. 90 rm

[bleak wedge]

That might be around my 1 rep max

Actually

For reps i do 75 rn

[sharp mica]

I used to bench 135. But I'm moving up to it again

[bleak wedge]

I should be at 135 sometime in the next year

Ive only been back at the gym for ~ 2 months so i feel good

But im in no rush and its not a big deal if i cant hit 135

[sharp mica]

Prob high schoolers take forever cause they talk and shit so you wait 40 mins for the bench

[bleak wedge]

40 mins what

[sharp mica]

Yeah they just talk lmao

This is why I dont gym middle of the day usually

[bleak wedge]

[sharp mica]

Bro so

I hate hammer curls

I never feel them after like I do other bicep

[quaint elk]

hammer curls goated

preacher curls can die

[sharp mica]

I never feel sore or anything after hammers

like

[quaint elk]

you don't have to feel sore

[sharp mica]

yes?

thats how muscle grows

soreness after workout is tears in muscle that heals and making big muscle

[quaint elk]

@calm dragon come

DOMS is not a good indicator of muscle growth

[calm dragon]

take

Also yeah

Another gymbro hataro take

Soreness =/= gains

They can be an indicator but not necessarily

I don't have a lot of soreness most days, if any real compared to when I started off

And I'm making GAINZ

A lot of the time, soreness can be an indicator of overworking and causing unnecessary fatigue (junk volume again ) more than actual growth and stimulation

[sharp mica]

wrong

sore = big muscle

bro science > real science

[fervent hatch]

You usually just get sore at the beginning

[quaint elk]

swedish and balding

[fervent hatch]

Once you’re used to working a muscle out soreness isn’t nearly as pronounced as it was when it was weak

[quaint elk]

stop changing names esra ill spit on you

[fervent hatch]

my adhd going brazy I can’t help it

The hoes calling my name I must answer it’s me I’m hoes

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-voices-in-my-head-voices-cat-gif-23453583

[sharp mica]

need to swap from hammers

cause not sore

maybe I need to add more volume to my bicep days

like I'm doing 3x back

[bleak wedge]

Feel like its better to ask yourself if you're getting good activation like

During the reps

[sharp mica]

3x 10-12 for back

and then 2 x biceps

[fervent hatch]

Time under tension homie focus on slow controlled reps

[sharp mica]

3 x 10-12

[fervent hatch]

They’ll hit harder

[bleak wedge]

Like are you working out your bicep during your hammer curls

[calm dragon]

L country + warm all the time + balding + small

[sharp mica]

yeah kinda

[quaint elk]

BRO IM NOT BALDING FUCK YOU

I HAVE HAIR

[fervent hatch]

I’ll be bald eventually

[calm dragon]

I have longer hair

[quaint elk]

hairline check

[fervent hatch]

I’m cool with it tho cuz I got genetics going brazy other places

[calm dragon]

Unsure if I’m schizo or not but it’s not optimal

[fervent hatch]

Never gonna look old olive skin fr

[calm dragon]

Might be getting the magneto

Might not

Unsure

[bleak wedge]

My hairlines safe for now

But like

[sharp mica]

@calm dragonhow many arm do you do

on push/pull day

[calm dragon]

Both

[bleak wedge]

Its possible i just get thinning and never lose all my hair

[sharp mica]

asdyhjlbgvbaskbn;jdas-]d

I MEAN SETS ZINE

[calm dragon]

I KNOW

[fervent hatch]

All

[calm dragon]

BUT U PHRASED IT FUNNY

Uhh I do 4 or 5?

[sharp mica]

like 4 or 5 diff exercises

or

[calm dragon]

Sets lil bro

[bleak wedge]

Like 2 bruh

[calm dragon]

U asked sets

[sharp mica]

speak english swede

[bleak wedge]

2 exercises good

1 exercise not enough

[calm dragon]

Wdym u asked a question and I answered

[bleak wedge]

Monke stronk

[sharp mica]

true I phrased badly

my b

[calm dragon]

Also I’m more english than swe

Either way

[sharp mica]

primordial american

typical

[fervent hatch]

Oi bruv what dat smell like

[calm dragon]

I do 2 sets of 2 exercises, sometimes I add an extra set to one bec I feel like it

[bleak wedge]

[sharp mica]

ah

[calm dragon]

You fuckers live in a third world country stop typing

Piga

[sharp mica]

ye I do 3 x sets

[calm dragon]

Pigs*

[sharp mica]

ok 2 exercises

[fervent hatch]

I’m half English

[sharp mica]

I do arms twice a week tho

[calm dragon]

Same

[sharp mica]

once each on push pull

[bleak wedge]

Im alotta that probably

[calm dragon]

I hit bis twice tris twice

[sharp mica]

then full arms on shoulders day to blast the weekend

[bleak wedge]

More german though

[fervent hatch]

[calm dragon]

Since I do it on either push and pull day

[fervent hatch]

Germans good too I like their food

[bleak wedge]

Never really had german food

[calm dragon]

Junk to go over like 10 sets a week for biceps esp

[bleak wedge]

Im american

[sharp mica]

zine going to the gym

[calm dragon]

it's an isolation movement for a relativelty small muscle

[sharp mica]

"is this junk volume?"

[quaint elk]

imma grow my hair again out of spite fuck you

[calm dragon]

You don't need to go over 10 sets/week

[sharp mica]

zine not picking up anything at home after arm days

cause it's junk volume

[calm dragon]

Hataro you're a fucking moron

(gymbro)

[sharp mica]

no your advice is helpful

it's just backwards to what I learned is all

[calm dragon]

Yeah because 90's gymbro mentality fucked up 3 generations of gymgoers mindsets to working out

[quaint elk]

just take roids and do whatever the fuck you want

[calm dragon]

Either way, I do 2 top sets (1 warmup sometimes if I feel icky or w/e) of widegrip ez bar curls + lower half db preachers, sometimes I add an extra set in there or smack an extra set of hammers or something

becuase I feel like it

and I do that twice a week

Bobs your uncle

[sharp mica]

can I just do straight bar/ez bar

[calm dragon]

I do 4 sets tris each push workout but I drop set twice so a bit more than 2 regular sets on those

[quaint elk]

yo same

[sharp mica]

since they hit diff heads

[quaint elk]

i want thiccccc tris

[fervent hatch]

You can literally do w/e you want for biceps

[calm dragon]

Honestly, when it comes to biceps

You don't really need to focus on heads there

[fervent hatch]

Just make sure to switch up grip so you don’t end up like big dam judge

[calm dragon]

It's a small ahhh muscle, and minmaxing that is gonna be more of a pain than just picking two slightly diff things

and keeping at it

[sharp mica]

bro you know what I need

my forearms

[calm dragon]

bitches

[fervent hatch]

Hoes

[sharp mica]

are tiny

[fervent hatch]

Do the sand bucket

[calm dragon]

[sharp mica]

its annoying me when I jerk off

I see my biceps

[fervent hatch]

This mf did not

[sharp mica]

and then these skinny ass forearms

[calm dragon]

ye so do hammers, reverse curls and behind the back forearm curls or w/e they're called

I do p much those 2x a week too

to get thiCC daddy forearms

[fervent hatch]

RICE BUCKET GO HARDER THAN MOst

[calm dragon]

Also hammers are more focused on the brachialis (muscle that's kinda under the biceps) and brachioradialis (thicc forearm muscle on the top of your forearm) than any proper bicep work iirc

And training that brachialis mofo is a really really good way of getting visibly bigger biceps

[fervent hatch]

I will forever plug the rice bucket

[calm dragon]

Since it pushes the bicep outwards and makes it look bigger

Same logic as adductors and your quads

Either way thank you for coming to my ted talk, just hit high intesity go to failure bomba that shit and you'll get big

time for more diablo

[sharp mica]

I'm just being honest

[sharp mica]

ye

although fuck man

I'm never doing bench last again

I felt so burnt

I had to drop the weight

[calm dragon]

Start with compounds etc unless you have specific shit you wanna train

[sharp mica]

zoomers hogging the fucking bench

no it was just yesterday

there was a billion people all the benchs tied up

so I just did my shit last

[calm dragon]

fairsies

[sharp mica]

and after pulldowns/DB press

[calm dragon]

also

[sharp mica]

my tris couldnt handle it

[calm dragon]

@quaint elk bottom bit half reps after failure hit on leg extensions

My legsa re broken

my quads are so done for

[sharp mica]

bro why do you always wreck your shit on leg day
