[patent orbit]

Whats julmust ?

[vestal fog]

oopsy

[torn cypress]

its a soda that is like only sold during christmas time

i dont know what to compare it too

[patent orbit]

Ohh .. eggyog ?

[torn cypress]

maybe cola is the closest

or pepsi

[vestal fog]

maybe similar to vanilla cola?

[patent orbit]

Oh ..

[torn cypress]

nah not really

or hmmm

[full gazelle]

coke but tastes like christmas

[torn cypress]

i havent had vanilla coke in a while

[torn cypress]

exactly this

(but its also sold during easter )

påskmust

i bet ryuki does

with no water, just pure powder

[rain spear]

i used to

[patent orbit]

Pwo ?

[torn cypress]

pre workout

its like a caffeine bomb

[patent orbit]

Ah .. yeah i used to .. actually it was quite good

[torn cypress]

maybe i need that

[full gazelle]

I drink too much caffeine already so no 💀

[torn cypress]

hahahaha

mood

[patent orbit]

But mm i work out late these days so i guess mm ..

[vestal fog]

caffeine

[torn cypress]

i went from almost 0 cups a day

to at least 3

[rain spear]

mine was called total war

[torn cypress]

after starting working

my stomach has taken a toll

[patent orbit]

A jug for breakfast

[torn cypress]

i go to the toilet a lot more frequently at work

[rain spear]

boss makes a dollar i make a dime

[torn cypress]

but hey i get paid for that

[torn cypress]

thats why i poop on company time

[full gazelle]

LOL

[vestal fog]

wait rob only gets paid for going to the toilet

[full gazelle]

[patent orbit]

Steal their toilet roll as well

[vestal fog]

[torn cypress]

yeah just going to the toilet, nothing else

[vestal fog]

damn i would like to have that job

[torn cypress]

the first week was horrible

maybe TMI, but my stomach hurt so bad

[rain spear]

ive cut out energy drinks now

[patent orbit]

eep

[rain spear]

just coffee and iced tea

wrong word kek

[torn cypress]

i cant, i just fall asleep at my desk if i dont have anything to do and only listen to my mentor

[vestal fog]

i probably will never take anything that has high caffeine, my body really cant take it well

[torn cypress]

oh

[patent orbit]

I started drinking orange juice more stopped drinking coffee .. pretty much

[torn cypress]

my friend is the same

[patent orbit]

In the morning

[torn cypress]

luckily he is already high energy so

[vestal fog]

yeah im not lol

[torn cypress]

orange juice isnt the best to drink

basically only sugar

[torn cypress]

[patent orbit]

Yeah it’s just a small carton along with my breakfast

[torn cypress]

its okay, youre you ryou

[torn cypress]

shouldnt be too bad

[vestal fog]

[torn cypress]

just keep in mind its basically like drinking soda

and dont overdo it

[full gazelle]

depends on the brand

[torn cypress]

true true

[full gazelle]

there's machines at my supermarket whete you can squeeze your own orange juice from whole oranges

definitely no sugar there

[patent orbit]

Yeah my orange juice is from innocent company

[full gazelle]

unless those bastards inject the oranges with hidden sugar..

[torn cypress]

but oranges have sugar like inherently or what its called

[muted agate]

fructose

still better than processed white sugar

[torn cypress]

yeah ofc

[grizzled quail]

preworkout

[full gazelle]

natural sugar isn't bad tho

[torn cypress]

like for a glass of orange juice you need like 3 oranges

[grizzled quail]

tea and coffee >

[torn cypress]

it is, in great amounts

or well

[grizzled quail]

anything is bad in excess

[torn cypress]

so is everything

[grizzled quail]

[torn cypress]

but not my love for you

[grizzled quail]

[torn cypress]

[muted agate]

what do you guys think about this article?

https://physiqonomics.com/the-best-fat-loss-article-child-friendly-version/

[torn cypress]

im not gonna read all that

[grizzled quail]

[torn cypress]

lose weight: eat less calories than your TDEE

quick maffs

[grizzled quail]

seems like that article is just saying "get off your ass and do something"

[torn cypress]

just glancing through the article, it has some good things i guess

[torn cypress]

thats a good start tho

[grizzled quail]

i mean, yeah of course

but no amount of articles is really gonna make you do that, that's up to you

[torn cypress]

true

watch ronnie coleman vids before going to the gym

LIGHTWEIGHT BABY

YEAH BUDDY

everybody wanna be a bodybuilder

but nobody wanna lift this heavy ass weight

[muted agate]

actually these videos never really did anything for me

[grizzled quail]

lol i have a ronnie command in my server

[torn cypress]

its SCIENTIFICALLY proven that watching those types of vid will improve your 3 rep squat max

[torn cypress]

[muted agate]

I actually used to make fun of my classmate that he was watching half naked guys for motivation

[torn cypress]

nothing wrong with that

[muted agate]

he did lose a lot of weight

[grizzled quail]

it's leg day today

[torn cypress]

YEAH BUDDY

[muted agate]

to the point where he ||had flappy skin on his torso||

[torn cypress]

ah, happens when you lose weight too fast

[grizzled quail]

[torn cypress]

or when youre extremely overweight

[torn cypress]

you can do it

[grizzled quail]

bro my squat is the same as my bench

i gotta go hard on the legs

[torn cypress]

but trust me, having flappy skin but being healthy is nicer than the alternative

[torn cypress]

LIGHTWEIGHT BABY

[grizzled quail]

i tested ankle and hip mobility as well

no issues there

meaning my squat is just bad because my legs are weak

[muted agate]

I would like to try going to the gym once

[grizzled quail]

[torn cypress]

dont overdo it tho, make sure you have correct form for exercises

[torn cypress]

[grizzled quail]

i made a routine for my friend the other day that involves 0 gym time whatsoever, just 30 mins a day 5x a week

[torn cypress]

when you cant make excuses

[muted agate]

but getting there is hard and not knowing anyone that goes there makes it even more impossible for me

[grizzled quail]

i can share that with anyone that wants it

[muted agate]

I just exercise at home

[torn cypress]

[muted agate]

but having an unstable work schedule makes any type of workout schedule hard for me

[grizzled quail]

you want it robic? i thought you go jim

[torn cypress]

yes

so i can send it to others when people ask

[muted agate]

so I usually workout like 3 times a week

[torn cypress]

im bad at making a routine

[grizzled quail]

for sure

it only requires DBs

ill dm

[vestal fog]

if youre fine with it i could also pin it to the channel

[muted agate]

I'm not even mad for missing out on actual workout as much as I'm mad that I'm missing out on stretching

[torn cypress]

[torn cypress]

just stretch before you go to bed

[muted agate]

well I do like 15-30 mins stretching/yoga stuff

[grizzled quail]

sure, i'm not a coach or anything though i just made it for a friend

[muted agate]

which already leaves me sweaty

which means that I would have to take a shower again

and I don't want to take a shower multiple times a day because my skin and hair are already fucked up

[torn cypress]

i can share some of jeff nippards routines if anyone wants them

why am i staying up talking about the gym

[muted agate]

maybe I could fix that with some body lotions etc. but then I would have to explain why I'm even buying that and I'm not ready for that conversation

[torn cypress]

i have to wake up in 6hrs

[vestal fog]

cause its interesting topic

[full gazelle]

hey same

[torn cypress]

yeah it sucks, luckily only my hair gets fked

[torn cypress]

[muted agate]

at least using a conditioner fixed the problem of my head being itchy all the time

still stealing that from my mom though

[grizzled quail]

im turning it into a google doc ryou, ill paste the link in a min

[vestal fog]

oh i can understand that, my head is also very itchy and dry, like overall my face is dry and stuff

[torn cypress]

if anyone wants any of these hit me up

[muted agate]

I have dry scalp, oily T on my face and then normal everything else in terms of oiliness on my face

I should get into some skin care routine but that requires more things that my anxiousness won't allow me to do

[full gazelle]

you should

[vestal fog]

yeah i also need to take care more about my dry skin, like everytime i go outside when its cold it feels like it gets dryer

[torn cypress]

shouldnt be ashamed of that though, youre just trying to take care of yourself

[full gazelle]

at least some basic cleanser and moisturizer gets you far

[vestal fog]

now we are turning into the makeup forum

[full gazelle]

LMAOO

anyway

gym

[torn cypress]

i use cetaphil cleanser

or used to

i forget

[vestal fog]

the only thing i do everyday is go outside and take a small walk, just to have some sort of movement in my day, and its so colddddddddd 🥶

[torn cypress]

ayy better than nothing

[muted agate]

btw I found out you can do barbell curls without having a barbell or dumbbells

[full gazelle]

how

[muted agate]

you use your leg

[torn cypress]

yeah i curl ryuki instead

[grizzled quail]

General fitness routine, 30 mins a day 5x a week. Only dumbbells are required.

[grizzled quail]

[muted agate]

https://youtu.be/kzohU7hbN9I?t=77

he shows the exercise around that time

[full gazelle]

interesting

[full gazelle]

never would have thought that

[grizzled quail]

that's crazy lol

gym bros when they say it's leg day:

my type of leg curls

[full gazelle]

LMAO

[muted agate]

last time I had a "leg day" I did 5 squats followed by 5 secs of squat position hold

until I did 75 of them

I feel like legs are the only ok muscles on my body because they have to carry ma fat ass around

I actually like working out my legs now that I think about it

but it involves some other problems which gave me some doubts about working out

[grizzled quail]

you did 75 pause squats????

oh, sets of 5

[torn cypress]

[torn cypress]

I wouldve died

[chrome haven]

think i’ll be getting back into soccer soon so i can finally drop the cardio

[grizzled quail]

waiting on c0n to coach me in mma so i can drop my cardio too

[vestal fog]

[river tiger]

pog connor

[rain spear]

😤

skipping legs today

did loads on Thursday at kickboxing so I feel I deserve a leg day off

[grizzled quail]

[chrome haven]

i feel its deserved too

[rain spear]

thoughts ryuku

glad rua supports this decision

I did calves at least but not doing upper legs

[grizzled quail]

well, my honest opinion is that i wouldn't skip it, but also you know yourself better than anyone and i'm unaware of how rigorous your kickboxing training is if you feel you deserve it then go for it, but if you're saying that as an excuse to avoid it then i'd still do it

[rain spear]

fair point

it's not just about excuse

big DOMS

[muted agate]

https://www.twitch.tv/hafthorjulius

Thor's Christmas Powerlifting Meet

tldw you can smell the ammonia from your screen

they are about to start with deadlifts

[mighty robin]

we will be watching, hopefully you don't skip again

[torn cypress]

[torn cypress]

[rain spear]

i had a reasonnn

basically already done it this week

and no one does double legs

[torn cypress]

then leg day isnt skipped

[rain spear]

nice

[torn cypress]

true that

i shouldnt really be saying anything ive been skipping everyday for 2 weeks

[chrome haven]

ive been skipping everyday for months

no judgement

[torn cypress]

its okay you were busy with school

[chrome haven]

ahh yes you understand thank you i’m starting soccer again so that should count for something

[torn cypress]

did the world cup have anything to do with it

[chrome haven]

LOL maybe..

[torn cypress]

thats fine tho, do what you think is fun

[chrome haven]

thanks rob!!!!

[vestal fog]

[chrome haven]

LOL thanks guys ill be out there trust

[river tiger]

enjoyed going the gym yesterday

[rain spear]

look at us go

fitness chat swole

wonder if we can do any sort of goals/ challenges together for next year

[muted agate]

I don't have that trust in myself

[eager sedge]

what type of challenges?

[river tiger]

im in

[mighty robin]

my trainer does challenges for fun, we had for 2 months an abs one

[river tiger]

plank challenge perhaps?

[eager sedge]

same

[eager sedge]

i dont think i could do a plank challenge

[rain spear]

not even specific

but motivating us to workout somehow

to make sure people stick to it

or to try and help them stick to it at least

[eager sedge]

im in for a challenge at the beginning of next year

[rain spear]

we have some time to plan it

[eager sedge]

accountability buddies!

[mighty robin]

let's please include a dance day cause that would be so much fun

[eager sedge]

what type of dance?

[vestal fog]

I like the idea con

[mighty robin]

doesn't matter, could be some random yt video, could be just playing just dance, smth that involves dancing

[eager sedge]

oh

[rain spear]

hmmm

maybe we have some sort of calendar to log who did what and when

might motivate us to see everyone else working

[vestal fog]

[chrome haven]

im in full support

[green falcon]

Feeling a bit sad rn I just gained some weight again

Ig I can blame it on eating a bit too much and not going to the gym for a week but i couldn't go since I was too busy with school

I just want to lose weight but it's too easy to gain weight again and it's so fucking frustrating

At least I finally go take a walk again to cool off

[rain spear]

it wont be a straight line to your goal, everybody fluctuates whether theyre going up or down in weight, dont worry about it too much and get back to your schedule as soon as you can and youll see the progress return ❤️

[mighty robin]

^ what he said + remember that people who experience menstruation cycles also tend to fluctuate more often

[torn cypress]

well said con

[rain spear]

yesss nope I forgot about that

[green falcon]

thanks guys guess i will try but man i am mad

[chrome haven]

had a really good cardio session doin soccer

[vestal fog]

Good job rua

[torn cypress]

[torn cypress]

Couldnt let someone lift more than him in the gym

[patent orbit]

Woke up today looking better

[mighty robin]

managed to hip thrust 80kg for the first time

[river tiger]

W

[green falcon]

Pooooog let's fucking gooooo taco

[rain spear]

yoooooooo

[green falcon]

Currently trying to find some good soup recipes and I want to ask are calories of between 600-1000 good for someone who can take about 1500 calories a day

[rain spear]

1500 sounds quite low for a daily intake

[green falcon]

If I remember this is the result I got

Or it was My Fitness Pal being weird I remember you mentioned something like that

Maybe 2000 calories a day are better

[rain spear]

yeah MFP gives you very unsustainable targets

[grizzled quail]

depends on your current intake and your sex/height

also age and activity play a part

[rain spear]

^ hard to give a give number without knowing these things, nto going to ask you to tell me/us but 2000 is probably better currently

[green falcon]

Yeah prob also healthier

[grizzled quail]

i would try a couple sites and calculators and formulate an opinion based on that, rather than just use 1 site

[green falcon]

Alright I better stick at 2000 a day but would that mean the soups are fine then?

[grizzled quail]

seems more reliable

[green falcon]

Yeah I did try some and they varied between 1700 and 2500

So I better stuck at 2000

[grizzled quail]

i mean, that also depends on what else you eat in a day

and what goes in the soup

[green falcon]

My meals are basically made of salad, soup, eggs and protein shakes now

And I mostly do chicken, mushroom or vegetable soup

[grizzled quail]

sounds like a better diet than mine

but yeah of course it's fine, as long as you're getting the nutrients you need and meeting your daily goals

[green falcon]

It's okay but I am basically eating the same everyday. The last two days I tried to make some healthy tuna wraps but now I wonder if they didn't have a negative impact on me instead

[mighty robin]

Much better to do that because while you’re being more active than usual your body is anyway experiencing a shock so it changed with time without needing to reduce your food intake, you need all the foods. Less means less energy which isn’t good in the long run + your metabolism will slow down prematurely and will do more damage than good. Better to just focus on having the right amount of protein, fat and carbs for yourself I fucked up my body reducing when I was a teen and it took me years to fix it

[chrome haven]

thanks rob

[river tiger]

did some dribbling drills in football today

[green falcon]

🫂🫂

I gotta admit that no matter what I do it's hard and I worry about gaining more weight again hence why I try everything to reduce what I eat

But that might be a bit extreme so I try to get a bit easier

[rain spear]

the most important thing with diet and exercise, is whatever youre doing has to be sustainable

you have to do it in a way that makes you not hate it

[green falcon]

Oh yeah it's not like I necessarily hate my diet I just hate going up and down with my weight

But there isn't much to do except taking better focus on diet and sports had to neglect the gym for a week

[rain spear]

gotta find the energy for kickboxing tonight before my rest day tomorrow

😤

[muted agate]

I know that there was the calculations for calories in that thing I posted before when I was asking if it was good

[copper tundra]

love me ABC soup

Corn tomatoes carrot with pork bones

When I used MFP I got 2500. I pay a subscription for my current app and 2500 is the baseline but it fluctuates between line 2200 - 3000 depending on how much walking im doing and whatnot and it's honestly kind of wild

[copper tundra]

I feel like japenese soups are pretty simple. (mille feuille nabe), I use justonecookbook. And wokoflife for Chinese cuisine

[torn cypress]

[strange adder]

going back to the gym this week to continue my recovery

[river tiger]

[torn cypress]

[torn cypress]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/821410451702284348.gif?size=128&quality=lossless

After two weeks ffs

[light fern]

all the best friend, just hang on a bit longer, once you're done it'll feel like heaven

[rain spear]

theres a difference between not beating someone up and not being beaten up too

[grizzled quail]

dont stress about it, focus on school

i have only gone once this week cuz of finals. it's honestly no big deal

honestly you might be surprised to see strength/endurance gains from CNS recovery

[river tiger]

yeah but in most fights you cant escape

[rain spear]

ive managed to get to this point without having one so

gotta work on your de-escalation skills

[green falcon]

Back at the gym now 💪

[rain spear]

niceee! gj hiz

[green falcon]

Thanks I seriously need this gym break

[thin thicket]

ain't no way im hitting 50 grams of protein with just vegan sausages and beans

[grizzled quail]

dont (forcibly) consume more than 30g protein an hour

[thin thicket]

well you can only really process 30 grams at a time

[grizzled quail]

ye that's my point

my brother told me he made a 150g protein shake earlier

[thin thicket]

im not trying to intentionally do it, its just i was really suprised

[grizzled quail]

i told him have fun pooping out 120g of protein

[thin thicket]

its only like 550 cals too

vegan hacks

[grizzled quail]

[thin thicket]

plant power

[grizzled quail]

oh you meant aint no way as in "theres no way i did this" instead of "theres no way i can do this"

english is fun

[thin thicket]

i meant as in a very suprised way like

"i can't believe there's 50 grams in this simple meal"

[grizzled quail]

yea i get it now lmao

[thin thicket]

aight gotta cook my beans now fr

[grizzled quail]

gl

send pic

[thin thicket]

bean promo

uni life fr

[grizzled quail]

[green falcon]

Beans with fries and sausage huh

Also I take about 35-40g of protein in my protein shake

[torn cypress]

LMAO WHAT

[patent orbit]

200 elevator lift push hips (lower abs) 200 side lat dips ~200 russian twists - a small thursday abs push 🙃

Can you get a decent six pack in 3 months ? … hmm ..

[grizzled quail]

depends on your starting weight, genetics, diet, rest, and regimen

so yes, with a tablespoon of salt

[patent orbit]

Actually i dont know what i weigh dont have scales

[grizzled quail]

not necessarily weight but just body fat in that area ig

[patent orbit]

I reckon my bmi must be about 19/20

Yeah there’s a little layer fat haha

Added 2 min plank too

[night dragon]

leg day while aggressive cutting, took 4 days for glutes n whole thigh area to stop feeling sore

im gud now so gonna do this week's leg day in a bit

[rain spear]

leg DOMS are the worst

triceps also a weird one

[muted agate]

I had more issues when I did abs than legs

maybe because while doing abs I also did like the thingies that connect your legs to your belly as well

[muted agate]

well I took my weight today and since starting to do at least some exercises and replacing all the water I drink with just water I somehow lost ||5 kgs|| but I don't really feel less fat

[night dragon]

||5||kg is huge

if u want ur progress to b more perceptible can try taking progress pics, waist measurements etc

[torn cypress]

The legs and tricep doms are insane

Also the front delt/upper chest

Not going to the gym for weeks made me get doms from regular push ups, this isnt good

[patent orbit]

Going to try and go for a killer abs & chest night .. work the upper pecs a lot .. lets go ~

[patent orbit]

[full gazelle]

[river tiger]

[sand crown]

online badminton*

my bad g

[torn cypress]

What thats even worse

[sand crown]

exactly

[torn cypress]

Skipping one days always snowballs

[prisma zenith]

My forearms hurts

Leg day wasn't so bad

[night dragon]

be careful with forearms

i had tennis elbow, had to stop all arm exercises for 2 months to recover

tendons, esp around da forearm regions, due to their anatomy can take hella long to recover

i still dont do any arm isolation exercise

once i stop this cut, im finally doing em again tho

[muted agate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHiPbaROFdw

[patent orbit]

Bicep curls gone up 3 kg to 12kg now

Keep going

[river tiger]

@grizzled quail eating more simply helps you lift more right? (deadlift)

[grizzled quail]

eating more increases your body weight so technically yes? generally the heavier you are the more you can lift. but it's not that simple, when it comes to how much you can lift that's mostly training

[river tiger]

lifting relies on grip strength mostly right? as well as body strength

[grizzled quail]

heavily depends on what lift you're doing

[patent orbit]

Friday night chest night

[torn cypress]

[patent orbit]

[muted agate]

alright my final weight before christmas dinner and all the other christmas stuff that is about to happen is ||102.7 kg|| I wonder how much it'll change by the new year

[rain spear]

enjoy yourself friend, new year is for grinding

[night dragon]

not skipping leg day even tho on vacation

[grizzled quail]

[river tiger]

yo guys

is it normal to have a resting bpm around 50 ish?

54-55

[muted agate]

well not a doctor but it should

[torn cypress]

yes very normal

[warm root]

Athletes can have even lower resting heart rates than that, it’s a perfectly normal resting heart rate. My resting would drop below 50 sometimes when I was deep in my running regimen, and things like alcohol can increase your resting rate

[grizzled quail]

my little brother....

315 deadlift at age 15

[sand crown]

that dude is 15??

[grizzled quail]

yush

[torn cypress]

yeah nik you have some catching up to do

[clear kraken]

Good morning my fitness fellas, im about to get into gym-ing so i was wondering how wld yall recommend a newbie to structure their workout? Any videos so i can take a look and learn wld b much appreciated too ❤️

[patent orbit]

workout 20-60 mins give yourself 1 - 3 days rest. Every 4-6 weeks give yourself a full week off to give your muscles & tendons a break.

Split your workouts into working 2 muscle groups or just 1 if your focussing on developing one area and allowing your recovery time to develop one rather than two muscle groups.

So for example
day 1 - sunday abs & chest
day 2 tuesday legs, back & shoulders
day 3 friday abs & biceps/triceps

Listen to your body some days you just need to train light or not train at all if your not feeling up to it. It's a marathon not a sprint so it's mainly about being as consistent as you can be whilst keeping a mental check on your energy levels.

Starting off start light, don't push yourself too hard or you will end up damaging something. Pump up the music and enjoy your workout . Ease yourself into it, little by little each week. Don't forget to lightly stretch slowly at the end of the workout.

My faveourite youtube fitness people are alex crockford & chloe ting

[patent orbit]

another little tip , psychologically i always find it more encouraging to count my reps down than counting up .

[sand crown]

tmrw fosho

:Smil:

[torn cypress]

[sand crown]

yes

[grizzled quail]

i have a routine pinned in this channel that i made, you can do it at home with just dumbbells and it's for general fitness. i can also make you one if you want to focus on something specifically

if you're getting a gym membership i can also share my routine, it's 3 days a week and focused on strength/muscle gain

[full gazelle]

I would like to look at your gym routine

[grizzled quail]

my 3 day split?

[full gazelle]

yea

[grizzled quail]

i'll dm

[full gazelle]

i mean you could put it here I'm sure other people would find it helpful too

[grizzled quail]

i'll make it into a doc then, like the other one

[full gazelle]

no pressure

[clear kraken]

Yea I'd like to see it too ryuki hehe

Thanks kitzen

[grizzled quail]

My personal general fitness routine, mainly focused on strength and hypertrophy. 3x a week, gym required: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jpIkZyiFRH-MocL7hf1CtdoT9Mu-wHSgEjRY5jOl8-I/edit?usp=sharing

if someone could pin that, it would be much appreciated

[grizzled quail]

ty ty

[night dragon]

i should try doing more 5x5 for presumably more hypertrophy?

i just do 3x10 for everything out of habit rn

[honest sable]

monday of shoulder and back finished!

back to leg day tomorrow

i have a question for u guys

i'm skinny fat (but i'm in the range of ideal weight for my height), the thing is that i don't know if i need to bulk first or do a calorie deficit, i'm not too skinny but i want to work more in my arms and torso (my lower buddy is trained due to sports).

[night dragon]

ik da optimal thing is to cut til ur at 14% or sthg body fat but if u feel like dats not necessary checking urself in da mirror can just start bulking imo

[grizzled quail]

5x5 is strength

if you want hypertrophy you should optimally work in the range of 10-14 reps

[night dragon]

ic

[grizzled quail]

in that sense, my program is actually mostly hypertrophy, but strength for the big 4 lifts

[night dragon]

makes sense

i walked so much on my trip like averaging 15k steps a day then did leg day as soon as i flew back

legs never been more sore

[grizzled quail]

my leg day is tmrw

gonna try and push my squat

[light fern]

had no idea about switching up routines, been sticking to a fixed one all this time

how much variation is enough?

[grizzled quail]

shocking the muscle is a very important concept in terms of gains, some experts even recommend switching your routine every 4-6 weeks. but i find it fine to just do things in a different order every week, my body can never adapt and i can shock the muscle each week

i also previously did different variations where i'd pyramid with the weight, reverse pyramid, or do a bunch of other wacky stuff i'm not as hardcore now though, and i see sufficient gains with my current program. it's built to last

[light fern]

much appreciated

will try to make some adjustments to my workout plan

[copper tundra]

I would say whatever makes you feel better bc your long term result would be the same

https://youtu.be/cKZwY2_n1uQ i forgot what he actually said but RP is a internet favorite resource

[prisma zenith]

Thanks guys

I wish u luck for today's routine.

[rain spear]

miss u guys 😦

[torn cypress]

same

[river tiger]

ay hes my age

deadlifting 350 by the end of 2023

wish me@luck

[river tiger]

btw complete beginner is it possible

[green falcon]

Today back to the gym after a long time hope I'll go there regularly again

Ironically at the time that I didn't do any sport I only gained like a 300 grams or smth

Could be worse

[copper tundra]

Maybe

Just something you wouldn't know till you try it

But honestly i think you would be surprised how much you can achieve

[honest sable]

finally, rest days

[grizzled quail]

someone at the gym was benching 375 for reps and 315 for pause reps

they also did a static hold for 455

most weight i have ever seen someone pick up on a bench (in person)

[river tiger]

whats ur bench record

[grizzled quail]

205 lol

[patent orbit]

Having my week off workouts i take every 4-6 weeks .. woke up this morning with better abs .. muscles still developing .. rest days are good 👍

[river tiger]

if u were in a powerlifting comp, would u break 1000?

[grizzled quail]

nah my total is 850-900. but this year i'll break the 1000 mark :)

[river tiger]

fighting!

[silk plover]

Just noticed this thread exists

https://tenor.com/view/zyzz-glasses-zyzz-zyzz-pose-gif-26449511

[grizzled quail]

rip 🐐

[muted agate]

well my weight went up quickly over christmas

lost 2 months of progress in a week

[rain spear]

will be easy to lose again

as its new weight

dont let it get you down

[muted agate]

well I'm always down so this doesn't change anything really

[vestal fog]

I need to check my weight after i beat the flu/cold, i feel like im gonna lose a bit of weight cause i dont eat much

[rain spear]

same

i can check thursday

hopefully first day back at the gym tomorrow

[vestal fog]

i might avoid the gym for atleast january, too many people starting to go the gym and then stopping after 2weeks

[silk plover]

I always go gym at earliest 23:00.
Worst case there is 1 other person there

[grizzled quail]

gonna hit chest soon on the first monday of the year wish me luck on finding a bench

[night dragon]

might be water weight which is quick to gain and lose

esp if u ate lots of carbs

cuz carbs do b retaining excess water

[copper tundra]

🫢

[grizzled quail]

on a bench man.... wild

[copper tundra]

all i know is that college ppl stronggg

wasn't thinking about fitness or anything in high school so oh well but i like watching people toss heavy weights around

[grizzled quail]

interestingly enough, you reach peak strength at around 30 years old iirc

[copper tundra]

They're not ready for me in nine years

[grizzled quail]

actually it's 25 (?)

30 is bone mass

[mighty robin]

is that for both women and men or just men tho

[muted agate]

so it's gonna be only downhill for me now

[muted agate]

well might have gone up in weight by a lot but I can touch the ground with my palms while standing straight now

[rain spear]

ladies and gentlemen, we back at the gym

lifting what I was lifting before the flu, which is the bigger W here

going back to push/pull/legs&shoulders

thanks to ryukis plan for getting my motivation back

[grizzled quail]

[full gazelle]

Lol sorry I thought this was a new post but clearly not 😛

I'm actually resting between bench sets rn and got excited when I saw this

Soooo any powerlifters here? Who's stronger than YeoJin's dad?

[torn cypress]

@grizzled quail he reps 4 plate dl

[flat sleet]

I'm sure there are orbits that can do that too. My 1 rep max DL is 555 lbs, but I haven't tried repping 4 plates for more than 6

[torn cypress]

youve got some competition ryuki

[frail girder]

I'm weaklifter mate

[torn cypress]

555lbs is a lot damn

[frail girder]

[flat sleet]

To be fair though, I'm a heavy guy. I weigh ||275|| lbs currently

[grizzled quail]

damn you're a beast

i pulled ~4 plates at ||165|| lbs

[flat sleet]

Yoooo that's pretty nasty

[grizzled quail]

but tyty

[flat sleet]

Thanks for the heads up

[rain spear]

@flat sleet welcome to the club

[patent orbit]

I don’t have heavy enough weights to know what i can bench 1 rep

Probably 90kg ? Not sure

Still catching up from last years broken elbow - good progress so far.

doing around 6 sets 10 repa flat and incline at around 35 - 40 kg
Bench flys at 12kg (would prefer 16kg but don’t have)

Still another 2-3 months until happy with body shape

[river tiger]

i deadlift at least my weiht

thats for sure

[patent orbit]

Thats cool

[copper tundra]

i've noticed that my bench seems comparatively lower to other people around my squat/deadlift though i know that's just variability

[river tiger]

my arms are veiny af

is it normal

vascular arms

[rain spear]

can be

some people are some people arent

just the way it goes

[jaunty hedge]

send y’all’s favorite core exercises

[grizzled quail]

hollow holds, russian twists, hanging leg raises

and of course planks and crunches

[torn cypress]

rope crunch

[rain spear]

kickboxing was SICK

muscles are exhausted now tho

im shaking

[grizzled quail]

@rain spear i might get a membership at a boxing gym soon

[rain spear]

[grizzled quail]

[patent orbit]

We gonna end up like security for Loona 💪

[river tiger]
