@hidden lintel actually, you were right

#

Some people don't have any shame

#

A similar incident to yours occurred at my gym Today, some guy was trying to bench press at a higher level and was struggling but trying so hard, and this girl lifting 5kg dums started laughing 🗿

#

And also some guy who just joined a day ago

#

People are weird

#

Also, i booked my bike, thanks for your help with deciding it

buoyant grotto
#

watch some noel deyzel, or hybrid calisthenics

#

they do inspire some people 👍

woeful pine
#

Indeed

buoyant grotto
#

atleast they inspired me to get into shape willmao

#

woeful pine

light lagoon
foggy dew
#

Like grunting ig

light lagoon
#

no like grunting really loud to get people's attention

foggy dew
#

Yeah

light lagoon
#

I've been in the gym when guys do that

#

it's so fucking funny

woeful pine
#

Nah, ego lifting is different from trying a new weight when you find yourself comfortable with the current one

foggy dew
light lagoon
#

I know what ego lifting is

#

it was really obnoxious

woeful pine
#

Nah he closed his eyes and went silent to lift it

light lagoon
#

aw

woeful pine
#

That new guy and the girl just insulted him for no reason, my man tried

foggy dew
#

Rippp

light lagoon
#

who knows maybe they have history

woeful pine
#

Toxic people

light lagoon
#

maybe he tried to hit on her earlier

#

we don't know

woeful pine
#

Welp

#

Seems like it

foggy dew
#

Lmao

woeful pine
#

Even worse then

light lagoon
#

lmao

foggy dew
#

That would have been funny tbh

light lagoon
#

but if it was unprompted then yeah she sucks

hidden lintel
#

it's bad but nothing can be done about it ngl

foggy dew
#

Must’ve made the dude feel so bad

woeful pine
#

Yeah

light lagoon
#

judgemental people don't belong at the gym

hidden lintel
#

people will come and go, just focus on your goal

light lagoon
#

leave judgement at the door

foggy dew
hidden lintel
#

also, i did almost succeed on my pr today

light lagoon
#

also a lot of places will take that behaviour seriously

#

you can tell staff

hidden lintel
#

but my back felt a little stretch

#

so i stopped

light lagoon
#

if someone is making people uncomfortable laughing at people and shit then you can prolly get them kicked out

hidden lintel
#

otherwise it couldve been a serious injury

woeful pine
#

You can't just throw them out

light lagoon
#

there are rules tho

#

and one of the rules is usually respect

hidden lintel
#

it's okay, take the laughs as a motivation to shut those people up later

light lagoon
#

at least at the gyms I've been to

hidden lintel
#

i closed my eyes yesterday and thought about the woman who laughed at me, maybe she saw something that reminds her of someone

hidden lintel
#

so she chuckled in a positive manner

woeful pine
#

Gigachad is

#

mr chad is just a knockoff

hidden lintel
light lagoon
#

hidden lintel

woeful pine
#

#

#

hidden lintel
#

my back pains man

#

but this pain is nothing

#

i will try harder next time

woeful pine
#

hidden lintel
#

#

#

woeful pine
#

You are a W person until you are in the depression

#

Apologise to @light lagoon and be friends

hidden lintel
#

I'm sorry sister

#

#

🙏

woeful pine
#

That's my boy

light lagoon

hidden lintel
#

i just said sorry

#

💀

#

at least say if you accept it or not

woeful pine
#

Well he's got a point

light lagoon
#

I'm asking what you're sorry for

#

I appreciate the sentiment

#

for sure

hidden lintel
#

im sorry for being rude to you

light lagoon
#

it's nice of you to say

#

but you said a lot of stuff

hidden lintel
#

i was just too much into my personal emotions and sadness

light lagoon
#

woeful pine
light lagoon

#

Definitely not a role model lmao, I don’t get why anyone would listen to this guy

hidden lintel
#

Didn't know he had charges against him ngl, thanks for informing

woeful pine
#

There are some controversies going on him

#

Well ofc he speaks too much sometimes

#

I follow him because like some of his points actually are making sense and are bold ones

#

Rest is just bullshit

#

but he made a very bold point about the thing about a chess board - "You see a queen gets to move around the whole chess board at once when a king gets to move one at a time, it's very well made. You see those boats at monaco, the king who woke up fucking early, worked his entire life to afford that multi million dollar boat doing one step at a time to slowly reach there, and the queen just jumps up to the boat, you see beauty is valuable"

#

This one in specific

light lagoon
#

What's wrong with you?

light lagoon
#

That's the problem with that statement to begin with

#

The whole point of it is to talk shit about women

#

That's his primary motive

#

We can literally not praise him

#

What do you even mean

#

So what

#

We can keep reminding people who he is

#

And not allow any positive mention of him to go unchallenged

#

He has no valid takes wdym

#

Those aren't original ideas

#

You're not going to sit here and say those are things he gets credit for

#

Absolutely not

#

Fuck that piece of trash

#

He has no good ideas

#

So the fuck what

#

Can you literally stop trying so hard to praise him?

#

It's weird

#

You are tho

#

This whole thing was an excuse for you to say you like things he's said

#

There's no reason for it

#

Nobody is ever going to say a single positive thing about him around me and not catch shit for it

#

Ok

#

@woeful pine don't defend admitted rapists and get better heroes

drowsy fossil
light lagoon
#

it's the last line of the bolded bit I'm talking about

#

the one in specific he said he doesn't think is bullshit

woeful pine
#

Huge fucking W

#

Huge huge W

#

People don’t understand how hard that is, good shit my man

#

His mental must be insane

#

Build up to it

#

If you are failing then go down a notch, progressive overload = build up to it

#

That won’t work out mate

#

Go up slowly

#

255

#

I’d say 252.5 tbh

#

Won’t come over night my friend, you gotta build up to it

#

Good luck

#

Eh don’t put yourself down because you failed

#

You are doing better than most people

#

Lmfao I do

#

I’m not a gymhead so

#

I don’t think like that

#

I physically gotta beat people in my weight class to be the best

#

How’s that going?

#

You alright

#

That’s a tough battle I’m here for you if you ever want to talk

#

I couldn’t really talk to you about that because I haven’t experienced that

#

I meant to reply to this

#

I need to stop eating fast food tbh

#

Sometimes I can’t take you seriously manwillmao

#

Oh nah I’m in a good shape, I just need to become fit and start eating clean for the season coming up

#

Yeah I get that but you compare yourself to animals and I can’t take you seriously at some points

#

Tbh I’d just say I got into shape lmaoo

#

I’m not starting a cut just yet

#

Nooo

#

I’m at the weight I want to be at

#

Basically I’m a heavyweight and I box right, I need to start running and eating clean for next season because I want to compete again

#

I’m not on a cut yet because I don’t know if I will be fighting if that makes sense

#

You are an athlete too

#

Same goes for you, good luck on your 270 goal

woeful pine
#

i have so many tags here

#

@hidden lintel i was listening to tate comedic sessions while riding lmao

#

#

even music

woeful pine
#

i find him funny for some reason

because 80% of his takes are weird and funny

oblique agate
#

I remember when this thread was actually good

woeful pine
oblique agate
#

Everything

woeful pine
#

Why I has to go to the gym?

smoky spear
lone river
#

i think the wording is odd, if you have to go to the gym.. not sure how it can work out 😄

jade hill
#

Except you do have makeup

lone river
#

we do have makeup. and also we also have good clothes

oblique agate
#

This is what’s wrong with this place now

#

I swear it was so much better when it was just Johann, fin and will

lone river
#

i think i need an objective to do everyday. something that doesn’t take too long otherwise i’ll mess it up

#

you said it was better to focus on a group of muscles per day, but since i’m doing it at gome without real equipment, is it ok that i do multiple muscles @oblique agate ?

say… some pushups, planks and squats

oblique agate
#

I still suggest dividing it into upper body and lower body everyday with space for at least two days of rest

lone river
#

hmm, can you give an example of a schedule that would fit that?

oblique agate
#

Monday upper, Tuesday lower, Wednesday rest, Thursday upper, Friday lower, Saturday rest, and Sunday cardio

oblique agate
#

I do cardio when I have my rest days

#

I swim and cycle mostly

lone river
#

oh ok, that sounds great!
now to figure out a way to prove the exercising and be accountable…

keen steeple
#

didnt go to the gym yesterday because of work

#

didnt go today because of work

lone river
#

wtf, how long is your shift?

keen steeple
#

its not a long shift its just bang in the middle of the day

#

like id need 3hrs to go to the gym, do it, come home, get changed and showered etc.

#

and i usually wake up about 2.5hrs before i go into work

#

so then im not tired for the whole shift

light lagoon
#

That struggle is all too real

Thank you my brudda 🙏

I’m more into cardio tbh but I try some weights every now and again

More into running than anything else

oblique agate

I can’t be arsed to do cardio at times lmao

#

But it is essential, yeah

hazy solstice
#

Tired as hell but you feel good

oblique agate
#

I did track and rugby for school and college

#

Classic frat boy sports

hazy solstice
#

Nah cool I tried sprinting before but I’m just better at longer races

#

You know one of the things that got me into longer races was actually shoes lol

oblique agate
hazy solstice
#

Yeeeep

#

One of my friends had the ZoomX Vaporflys

#

Told me to try them on

#

Man when I ran in those things it was like “holy fuck it feels like I’m running on springs”

#

They’re so responsive and light and agile

#

Even walking in them feels like you’re walking on clouds

#

Right like and then Nike came out with ones that are even better, the Alphafly

#

Like look at this beast of a shoe

oblique agate
#

It literally gives “a spring in my step” a whole new meaning

hazy solstice
#

Literally

oblique agate
#

And it minimises foot fatigue as well because the sole is so well sculpted

hazy solstice
#

Yeah and I really really really wanted a pair of my own

#

But before I got them I wanted to know I deserve them

#

So my current target is running 5k in 20 minutes and then I’ll feel deserving of something like a Vaporfly or a Tempo Next%

#

For an Alphafly I’d probably think running 5k in 19 minutes is good enough to deserve them

woeful pine
#

And i have a good 30 on you

#

Musty you are insane bro if you are pushing for 150 at 87

#

Starting sit ups and planks rn

#

Gonna go for a 5 min plank to start

keen steeple
#

if you can find one get one of these

#

i have one and you can do alot with it

#

press ups, pull ups, tricep pushes

#

just make sure your door frame is made out of wood

#

otherwise you wont have a door frame for much longer than your first use of the bar

river nova
#

Sheesh

keen steeple
#

this is a good one to do with the bar

#

just put it on the floor and do push ups

#

works triceps nice and good

#

you can do it on anything too

river nova
#

My family has one of these things

keen steeple
#

bed frame, chair

#

ooooo

river nova
#

I don’t know what it is to be honest

keen steeple
#

just a workout bench

#

nothing specific

#

you can just do stuff on it

river nova
#

Ah

river nova
keen steeple
#

yeah!

#

just put your hands where the seat is

river nova
#

Ok

keen steeple
#

see how in that image the guy is using it as something to just wrap his hands onto

#

do that

river nova
#

Yup

teal briar
#

is jump rop beneficial for a post workout cardio?

#

are you sure?

#

i would not trust a wooden door frame with 160 pounds on it

river nova
#

I’m 114 pounds

teal briar
#

i have kinda skinny fat

#

i dont wanna bulk out, just have decent muscle

river nova
#

is this a good position for sit ups

#

Or should I close up my legs

keen steeple
#

yes and no

#

its good but if you are gonna do sit ups, wedge your feet under something

#

it should help

river nova
#

Like this)

keen steeple
#

yeah thats good

river nova
#

Perfect

teal briar
#

wait why?

#

why shud one wedge their feet?

keen steeple
#

helps to keep you seated

#

you dont have to but it helps

teal briar
#

oh right

#

and its an upper abs exercise right

river nova
#

Why are they so easy l of a sudden

#

All*

#

All of a sudden like I’m not struggling to bring myself up

keen steeple
#

yeah

#

just make sure to do it slowly though

#

on the way back down

river nova
#

Okay

#

youll feel it

river nova
#

This better!

#

*?

#

Ignore my Logitech cord lmfao

keen steeple
#

river nova
#

Oh holy shit ok starting to feel it

keen steeple
#

if you can find any kind of weight hold it at your chest

its fine if not

a) Leg press is the name, yes!

Errr

You hitting the bag properly?

I’d get it if they were your knuckles

tawny token
#

oh my left wrist I broke ages ago, it's still a bit weak and my hand just folded in a punch and put a load of weight into my wrist

woeful pine
#

Ahhh

#

That makes sense

#

I’d put on gloves though since your wrists are weak you can risk injury you know

#

And it ruins your hands too, you will feel it soon lmao

tawny token
#

I'll see how it is ymrw

#

I'll try and record a bit too

okay i stood up more straight and i feel better already

now it sorta makes sense considering im only 107 pounds

#

But that doesn’t make sense because it has to do with density

keen steeple
#

one kg of muscle is smaller than one kg of fat

#

muscle is alot denser than fat

light lagoon
#

muscle and fat weigh the same but muscle has more mass than fat because, like will said, muscle is more dense

I had wrist pain all the time

tawny token
#

Yeah it hurts like a bitch when it happens

woeful pine
#

Slow down your punches id say

#

See where you are going wrong and fix it

#

Repetition is key also wrap your wrists more

#

Or invest in some gloves with good wrist support

tawny token
#

I'm punching with the wrong part of my hand, gives a weird direction to my wrists and fucks me up

woeful pine
#

Experiment on your jab and cross

#

Maybe twist your arm to the right just a tad bit see if that helps

tawny token

how were you averaging 20mph are you on a road bike or something

keen steeple
#

if you need help with anything just look in here or ping me in here

keen steeple
#

i think i was averaging

#

19.2mph

#

i did the maths

lemme find it again

tawny token

what bike do you ride

#

thas mental 19mph

keen steeple
#

some old ass MTB

tawny token

is it really flat where you live

I did 5 miles and averaged like 15-17mph

keen steeple
#

not really

#

btw

#

i live on a hill

tawny token
#

that must be fun

keen steeple
#

and 90% of the route was flat or downhill

#

but there was a steep bit

tawny token
#

ah I see

keen steeple
#

and i averaged like 11 over it

tawny token
#

Decent

#

I also made a pb for dead lifting

keen steeple
#

#

literally

tawny token
#

did like 50kg

keen steeple
#

what kg

#

oooo

i can do 80kg but my skin is awful so anything above 45kg just rips the skin on my hands open

oh i found the bike

that was easy

its this in black

tawny token
#

ah I seee

keen steeple
#

shit pic but

tawny token
#

I was gonna say averaging 20mph on flat or hilly roads on an mtb is hard as shit

keen steeple
#

this chassis is from like

#

2006

#

and it still has the original tyres

#

the rear tyre has a kink in it though so youre always hopping about when you ride it

tawny token
#

oh that sounds very enjoyable

#

could be the rim warping too

keen steeple
#

honestly its not awful

#

when you look down (to see the rear wheel) you can see it kinks to the right slightly

tawny token
#

that sounds alot like a rim issue

#

might wanna get that checked

keen steeple
#

rim issue

its not even my bike i just used it because it was in the garden ready to take out

I got new shoes

Gonna go in my first run in them tomorrow and let’s see if ZoomX is as hyped as it should be

keen steeple
#

sheeeee

#

they fire

hazy solstice
#

I tried em on in the store and they’re comfy for sure

#

They have the air pocket in the front similar to the alphafly

#

Probably gonna be very noticeable when I’m running

keen steeple
#

morning run views

light lagoon
#

pretty

hazy solstice
#

Here’s my review:
ZoomX is insane. The shoe is really comfy and supportive and that airbag at the front really helps with toe-offs

#

The ZoomX is there in the heel and mid foot to give you that spring in your step when you land

#

The upper is really light and nicely woven

#

The curve at the front pushes you forward

#

In fact just wearing this shoe makes me want to go out and run

#

My only complaint would be that they’re super loud

#

But overall ZoomX definitely deserves the hype

#

I even set a new PB with it or 23:08 which is more than a minute over my old time and idk if it’s because of the shoes or if it’s just because I’m feeling happy to run today but like, insane

dusty abyss
#

I might need to buy a ZoomX shoe if it is truly that comfortable

#

I’ve heard great things about it, and I’m hearing them again

oblique agate
#

APL makes some good ass shoes too

hazy solstice
#

Tbh you can wear stuff like Zoom Fly 5 every day though

#

But generally ZoomX really really shines when you’re running

#

Especially stuff like the Tempo, Vapormax, and Alphafly

hazy solstice
#

They aren’t available here so haven’t tried them though

GYM BROOOOOS

#

I HAVE A 4 PACK DEVELOPING

tough zinc
#

poggers

keen steeple
#

lets gooo

#

i forgot to take progress pics but i have been focusing on biceps for the past 7 days or so

#

usually takes me 40 minutes to do a full bicep cycle

#

and then after that i usually do something like core and calfs

#

i dont usually focus on more than one thing when at the gym, for example for one session i go i may focus on chest for the entire 60/70 mins or i might focus on middle and lower back

#

but when i do things like biceps only then it only takes like half the time i usually take so i mix it up

#

another thing is theres no actual limit on how long my sessions can/have to be. i just go to the gym and its around the 70 minute mark when i either get bored or complete all the things i wanna do
