[onyx flint]

Hmm

[vital dragon]

But yeah now that I know I’m supposed to feel it solely in my triceps, I’ll try to make some adjustments until it feels right ig

[toxic marsh]

my whole body is sore

[austere yew]

v went jim

[old parrot]

WE GO JIM

I need some Tricep exercies reccomendations

[abstract frigate]

Gg my Fitbit just died

Perfect excuse to buy a Coros or Garmin

[onyx flint]

Or an Apple Watch

[abstract frigate]

It’s a serious contender but I’d feel it’ll break if I take it to the mountains

[onyx flint]

They’re making a rugged version of the new one

But I personally use a Casio style case/band on my 5 and it’s rugged af for only like $20

[abstract frigate]

that sounds like a lot of money. I need to save

[onyx flint]

One of these

Except in black

Shits basically a gshock now

[abstract frigate]

Hm I gotta see if the Apple Watch satisfies my running requirements

Coros and Garmin does for a fact but idk about apple

[onyx flint]

What do you need

I use the exercise app for lifting so I can tell you a bit what features it’s got

[abstract frigate]

I need gps to map my runs, lap pacing for my workouts and long runs. Oxygen, effort, recovery stuff and if possible to have workout examples

[onyx flint]

GPS: yep, lap pacing: not sure but I have a strong feeling they have something like that, seems basic enough, look into it yourself, oxygen: Apple Watch imo has some of the best sensors out there for oxygen/heart rate

[abstract frigate]

@onyx flint

[onyx flint]

As for workout examples you prob again need to find some third party app, the Apple exercise app just has a bunch of vague exercise types like “strength training”, indoor/outdoor walk, outdoor jog, outdoor run, cardio, etc

I think you’ll personally really like it

Idk how Fitbit is but I love how integrated the Spotify app is to the workout app on Apple watch

[abstract frigate]

We’ll see I want a Garmin just to fit with the running club

[onyx flint]

I can easily seek songs without going to the Spotify app itself

[abstract frigate]

Ah i don’t listen to music while running. I do like tunes while lifting though

[onyx flint]

another really good feature of the AW imo is the periodic “standup” notification

So if you’re sitting down working for like an hour it reminds you stand and get some blood flowing to your legs

Do some stretches for a bit before going back to work etc

[humble bolt]

Do you use runkeeper on Apple Watch?

[abstract frigate]

I don’t have an Apple Watch

[toxic marsh]

tricep extension, overhead tricep extension, skullcrusher

the overhead always kills me

[toxic marsh]

https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-ultra/
this bad boy

[humble bolt]

Yeha

Regular sport band is fine

[vital dragon]

U mean the $800 one?

[old parrot]

I’m gonna add those to my rotation

probably gonna remove Tricep extension machine

I hate it

it’s so hard to use

I have to stop early cause of my stomach always

[onyx flint]

Yessir I just posted what strap I use lol

[onyx flint]

Do you do tricep pushdowns

I feel like that’s the exercise where I really feel my triceps the most

[old parrot]

maybe

Is that the same as Tricep press?

oh wait no

I don’t

[toxic marsh]

most goated exercise for tris is probably dips

[old parrot]

I like dips

But I thought focus more on chest

[toxic marsh]

it's def both

[abstract frigate]

Sorry @onyx flint I got the Garmin Forerunner 245

[humble bolt]

Ran so hard I cut my foot and it was bleeding all over my sock

[vital dragon]

Tf

[onyx flint]

Rest day for me

[abstract frigate]

I should take a rest day

[ionic crater]

I'm still damned by the fact that we didn't give a shit about mods and just created our own thread that we treat as a channel

But only like full_timers can talk in this because others can't find it lmao

[vital dragon]

They can

[ionic crater]

It's really hard tho

[vital dragon]

U can see all threads if u click the pound button on the top left in full timers

[ionic crater]

You gotta specifically look ftthat

[vital dragon]

Top right*

Yea

[abstract frigate]

Good leg exercises with dumbbells only? I need to strengthen my leg cannons even further

[onyx flint]

Nah it’s more that #fitness has some interesting characters

So we prefer to chill here instead

[onyx flint]

Romanian dl, goblet squat, weighted lunges

[abstract frigate]

I do all except Romanian

Ty rob

[onyx flint]

You can also try weighted pistol squats

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0090/4773/6378/files/this_dumbell_leg_workout_can_increase_your_mass_in_less_time.jpg?v=1635190768

Here’s a couple more you can look into as well

[onyx flint]

Pull day for me

[old parrot]

Pull day is so hard

I can’t seem to figure out lat pull-down, row, and pull-ups

[onyx flint]

Lat pull-down and row are extremely simple exercises

If you’re having difficulty lower weight

[old parrot]

I don’t man

Every time I do them I don’t feel like I’m targeting the right muscles

[onyx flint]

When you do lat pull-down

Are you keeping back straight

https://cdn-0.weighttraining.guide/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wide-grip-lat-pull-down-resized.png?ezimgfmt=ng%3Awebp%2Fngcb4

Like this

[abstract frigate]

Are you straight?

[old parrot]

Nah I’m leaning a bit

I’m leaning back and the pulling the bar down to my upper chest and trying to keep elbows tucked in and not pushing back

But I can’t really feel my lat muscles

[onyx flint]

Leaning back a lil is fine as long as you maintain the position

If you’re leaning mid lift that’s a sign your weight is too high

[old parrot]

I thought tahts how you do it

like you start straight then as you pull down you lean back

I should probably get someone to record my form

I might be messing something up and not knowing

[vital dragon]

I don’t think so

[old parrot]

that might be why

[vital dragon]

I think you just keep your back straight, shoulders pulled back, and you can lean a little before you pull down. Not start leaning during afaik

But idk shit so

[onyx flint]

You wanna be as still as possible outside the main movement

[vital dragon]

Rob’s the expert

Relatively

[onyx flint]

I’m not an expert loool but I’ve seen videos

[old parrot]

I’ll try that next time

I think that’s it then

[vital dragon]

That’s why I said relatively

[onyx flint]

Trust me tho if you find these kinda accessories difficult it’s very simple you just need to lower weight

[vital dragon]

Tbh my friends are dicks otherwise I usually start with low weights just so I focus on getting my form right

And then up the weights as I get form down

[old parrot]

I’ll try that, but I think my weights fine, It’s probably cause I lean back as I’m pulling

[vital dragon]

Yeah that’s bad if you’re leaning while pulling

[onyx flint]

Leg day mfs

[abstract frigate]

That’s cute

Hilly as fuck. Did heartbreak hill today

[onyx flint]

Squats always fuck me up lol

[abstract frigate]

Leg day best day

[toxic marsh]

that pace is insane

[abstract frigate]

It is but there are faster mfs

[jade fiber]

Ur cracked boi shush

Most people can’t even hit that just running one mile

[wide plume]

Every mile gets slower and slower too

Shits hard

[toxic marsh]

i def cant

[vital dragon]

I feel targeted

[jade fiber]

[abstract frigate]

First day off in two weeks

[onyx flint]

it's also my rest day

[abstract frigate]

Bad run today

Push day today

[simple kelp]

Noice

Didnt go jim yday cuz i was getting groceries and cooking

[onyx flint]

My AirPods died mid workout so now I have to listen to the gyms 80s synthpop for the rest of it lol

[simple kelp]

LOL

I stop listening to music halfway thru the workout

[onyx flint]

I usually just have metal in the background to keep up the energy but I don’t actually listen to it

Unless it’s one of my favorite songs then I do headbang here and there lol

[onyx flint]

!coinflip

[dapper coyote]

Tails

[onyx flint]

Leg day sucks man

But it’s a necessity

[humble bolt]

Leg day is the best day

[vital dragon]

Rare armhad W

[onyx flint]

Leg day prob the most important but man do I hate it lol

[vital dragon]

Gotta have proportions

[onyx flint]

Yeah and not only that like you need to be able to support your upper body or else you gonna have a lot of health problems when you’re older

[old parrot]

I just started taking creatinr

today was the first time

EVEN FASTER PROGRESS NOW

[vital dragon]

Yk it’s just water, right

[onyx flint]

I’m not taking creatine because I heard once you get off it all your progress is gone

[abstract frigate]

🧢

[vital dragon]

I mean, it’s just storing more water in your muscles so kinda makes sense

[onyx flint]

i heard it also gives you more energy

[vital dragon]

Huh

Interesting

[abstract frigate]

Also 🧢

[onyx flint]

do you take creatine lol

[abstract frigate]

No

All naturale baby

[simple kelp]

Sick day

[outer smelt]

I'll stay for fitness

But dont make this weird

[onyx flint]

Bruh this is literally an active thread where we just talk about fitness

Like fr

[vital dragon]

Yeah

Honestly tho

[outer smelt]

Yeah I saw the plans

[vital dragon]

I admire the lack of shitposting here

[onyx flint]

It’s just dedication

[vital dragon]

Keeping it true to its goal

My legs still hurting from yesterday

Feels good

[onyx flint]

I had rest day today but holy shit I’m starting to notice muscles in my legs I didn’t even know existed after leg day

[vital dragon]

Lol it’s a good feeling tho

I did deadlift first time yesterday

[onyx flint]

Niiiiice

[humble bolt]

My team is planning to run together when we all fly in

[vital dragon]

Tho it was smith machine since pf

But still

New experience

[onyx flint]

It’s a lil awkward since it’s angled right?

[vital dragon]

Gimme tips for running armhad

As a beginner

[humble bolt]

At this point you should ask @abstract frigate

[vital dragon]

Yeah

[onyx flint]

Honestly use the smith machine for rows

[humble bolt]

He passed me up lmao

[vital dragon]

Plus my form was ass

[onyx flint]

Not sure how effective it is for DL

[vital dragon]

My friend corrected it

[onyx flint]

Maybe @humble bolt would know better

[vital dragon]

I have. He gave me good tips

Just stopped running since they closed the track I go to

And I don’t like ppl so I can’t run outside during the day

[onyx flint]

EC lowkey prob has the best cardio out of all of us now

[humble bolt]

Smith machine for DL?

[onyx flint]

Dudes been running for like 4-5 months now right

[vital dragon]

I’d assume it’s better than not doing anything though, right?

[humble bolt]

Long distance

[vital dragon]

I think longer

[onyx flint]

Yeah like should lum do dl on smith machine or focus on like rows and stuff

[vital dragon]

He does 10-13 miles avg iirc

[onyx flint]

And maybe do Romanian dl with dumbbells

[vital dragon]

Oh shit that’s a thing?

[onyx flint]

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0250/0362/2496/articles/5e595712f146e8e14db4ca6f_dumbbell-romanian-deadlift-exercise-anabolic-aliens-p-500.png?v=1644927440

[humble bolt]

I’ve never done smith machine for DL is that limited motion

Yeah I’d do that instead of cables

[vital dragon]

fuck I’m dumb lol

Yea RDLs

Yeah I’ll start doing rdls instead then

[onyx flint]

Oh wait I just remembered actually

I think I saw a dude doing dls in smith machine

But you gotta grab a plate to stand on

Since the plates don’t touch ground

[vital dragon]

Ohhhhh

But it’s also the smith machine assist factor tho

[onyx flint]

How angled is your smith machine

[vital dragon]

So if I’m doing like 45s on each side? It’s not really true 45, right?

[onyx flint]

https://www.setforset.com/blogs/news/smith-machine-deadlift I’m reading this and apparently straight smith machines exist lol

[vital dragon]

It’s like whatever total weight is - assistance from smith

[humble bolt]

Lmao what

[vital dragon]

So it’s less

[vital dragon]

They have like a bumper at the bottom

[humble bolt]

[onyx flint]

Honestly it’s hard to tell, if you’re gonna stick with smith machine it prob don’t matter but if you do ever go to a gym with barbells maybe drop 20-30 lb from the sides and see how you feel

[onyx flint]

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1633/7705/files/smith_machine_deadlift_vs_free_weight_barbell_480x480.jpg?v=1637818768

[vital dragon]

Oh this is nice

[vital dragon]

Yeah I’ll probably move to a good gym once I’m in Seattle or whatever

[humble bolt]

I only stand on plates for calf raises

[onyx flint]

You’ll prob have tons of 24hr fitnesses nearby

[humble bolt]

Like do you slip ur ded

[onyx flint]

What does this accomplish

[vital dragon]

I think he means he places his toes and front half on the plates

[humble bolt]

As opposed to do it off the groun, you can go lower

[onyx flint]

Ohhh I see

[vital dragon]

Yeah I do that too

[onyx flint]

Yeah I use the calf raise machine where there’s like the bar to put your foot on

[simple kelp]

doesnt ur gym have those step platform things u can do calf raises on

[vital dragon]

Oh yeah pf doesn’t have that so

[humble bolt]

A bench?

[vital dragon]

I just use the smith machine barbell and put plates below my feet

And do calf raises

[simple kelp]

nah

[vital dragon]

It’s basically a step you put your feet on and then you have a weight on your shoulders

[onyx flint]

Why not just use dumbbells

[vital dragon]

And u do calf raises

If I’m not wrong

[vital dragon]

I used to use those umm…. I forgot the name

The round weight things

With the handle on top

[onyx flint]

Kettlebells?

[vital dragon]

Yeah yeah

Bc that’s what my gym partners used

So I just went along with it

[onyx flint]

I feel like for calf raise it really doesn’t matter

[vital dragon]

Yeah as long as u just have a weight

[onyx flint]

Like you just need some kinda weight and to extend your calves

[simple kelp]

do it on the stairs on ur way back home

[humble bolt]

275lb calf raises

[onyx flint]

Jesus that’s insane

[vital dragon]

That’s my warm up

[humble bolt]

I can go higher, I just don’t think max for calf raises matter

[onyx flint]

What do you leg press armhad

[humble bolt]

Incline or decline?

[onyx flint]

Incline I think

This thing

[humble bolt]

Ahh, idk max for incline, they usually top off at 400lb

Decline is higher but I don’t do more than 4 plates on each side

[vital dragon]

My max incline leg press is like 4 45s on each side

[humble bolt]

I have slight fear using decline lol

[onyx flint]

What is decline leg press lol

[vital dragon]

Wait isn’t there another leg press that’s basically the seat that moves

[humble bolt]

Yeah

[vital dragon]

This one

[humble bolt]

Horiztonal/incline and the that image is decline

[vital dragon]

Is that the decline ur referring to?

Ahh

Yeah Idr my max on this

Incline is 4 45s each side

[humble bolt]

When I came back from surgery my leg buckled and I’ve always feared it lol

[vital dragon]

Ouch

How did you blow out your knees again?

Football?

[humble bolt]

Had a degenerative knee disorder tied to me growing so fast

[onyx flint]

I’m weak af apparently because I’m only doing 45+20 on each side rn lol

[humble bolt]

Just so happened to be playing football too

[vital dragon]

Oh damn dude

[vital dragon]

I mean, I’m also fat so my legs have more muscle already

To carry my body weight

[onyx flint]

Fair enough

[humble bolt]

How much do you squat now?

[vital dragon]

don’t ask

My squat is weak af

[humble bolt]

Probably not that bad

Like 305?

315

[vital dragon]

Lol not at all

Probably half that

45 + 25 iirc

[humble bolt]

Wait you can leg press 4 45s on each side and not squat 300?

[vital dragon]

Yeah

[humble bolt]

Is it your back that’s not used to it yet?

[vital dragon]

I think so. Apparently my form wasn’t right until yesterday

[humble bolt]

My back is crazy. I don’t even use the pad thing

[vital dragon]

And plus the position is awkward

Having in terms of my shoulders and like having to have your feet in front of you

[vital dragon]

Yea my back is wide but not really strong

Like it hurts after I do squats

[onyx flint]

This reminded me to buy knee wraps for my squats finally lol

[humble bolt]

It’ll get easier

You ever try these bad boys

[vital dragon]

Bruh

I’d die right there

[humble bolt]

I do 45 + 25 on each side

[vital dragon]

Also, should the bar be resting on my shoulders?

[humble bolt]

Yup

Idk my max for it though

[vital dragon]

Ok so I’m doing that right

[vital dragon]

That’s crazy

I’d probably just be able to do 10 lbs each side if I did that

[simple kelp]

bruh i cant get deadlifts right

so i dont do them

[onyx flint]

Wait lum you talkin smith machine squats?

[vital dragon]

….. yes

[humble bolt]

Oh you’re talking regular squat. There’s high and low placement

[onyx flint]

I feel like those are harder because of the angle

[vital dragon]

So yeah even less weight than regular squat

Oh really?

[humble bolt]

Practice with the bar

[onyx flint]

Yeah because with normal barbell lifts you’re going straight up down

But at an angle you have to adjust for that

Less pure power

[vital dragon]

Ohh

Yea true

[onyx flint]

At least that’s how I see it

[vital dragon]

I don’t think the problem is so much power as it is form for me

The position feels too awkward

[onyx flint]

If you wanna stengthen back / legs without assistance you can try goblet squats

With a db

[vital dragon]

Oh I can do those

[onyx flint]

Like as an accessory to smith machine squats

[vital dragon]

I used to do em with a 40

[onyx flint]

Does pf have a hack squat machine

[vital dragon]

Lol I wish

[onyx flint]

What’s the highest db at pf lol

[vital dragon]

Ummmmm 45?

Idr

[humble bolt]

70

[vital dragon]

Because I don’t go higher than 35

I’m weak af

[onyx flint]

Db bench is harder than reg bench so

[vital dragon]

I need to start taking notes

Bc idk any of this stuff

[toxic marsh]

ive only played for like a year

[abstract frigate]

These ones are brutal

[abstract frigate]

12 on long days. 8-9 on normal days

[onyx flint]

Saturday morning man

At least it’s weekend so you can wait without being late for work lol

[onyx flint]

New deadlift pr let’s fuckin goooo

[simple kelp]

how much

[onyx flint]

5x205

So close to 2 plates

Hopefully within a month

[simple kelp]

damn

beast

[onyx flint]

Oh wait I wrote that wrong lol

1 set of 205x5 lol, 5 sets would be insane

[abstract frigate]

[abstract frigate]

Hell yeah we back running babies

Push day baby

[simple kelp]

We go jim

Finally ive mostly recovered

I can go to jim without feeling like sht

[main lantern]

Easy 475 single

[simple kelp]

U vs the guy she tells u not to worry abt

[main lantern]

when u pick an easy job(data engineer) u get more time to lift weights

[onyx flint]

Wait is that you

[main lantern]

yes

[onyx flint]

You’re fuckin massive bro holy shit

How long have you been lifting

[main lantern]

220 5'10, its an illusion i just have a big back and shoulders

[simple kelp]

No way ur 5’10

[onyx flint]

Yeah big back and shoulders really does make you look massive I agree

[main lantern]

first time i ever exercised was 3 years ago

[onyx flint]

I started going more hard on back / shoulders with my ppl routine and noticed results pretty quickly

Ah yeah that makes sense then, 3 years consistent lifting?

[main lantern]

started end of 2019 so i got like 6 months of lifting and then covid happened, got back into the gym consistently since jan 2021

2021 i weighed 170

yeah i think I skipped ~10 gym sessions since jan 2021

which obviously is not a lot

[onyx flint]

I think for me I really just need to eat more I’m like 5’9 140 rn, goal is like 155-160

[main lantern]

6/7 nights i sleep 9 hours

yeah i ate a fuck ton of food

lol

[onyx flint]

How many meals a day lmao

[main lantern]

my workout programming has been very smart as well, in general 4 meals a day

sometimes ill eat an extra meal sometimes only 3 depends on whats going on

when im really busy at work i tend to eat 2-3 meals

[onyx flint]

Do you take creatine or any supplements other than protein?

[main lantern]

just creatine and a multi vitamin, no peds

[onyx flint]

Man maybe I need to get on creatine lol

[main lantern]

315 bench, 405 squat, 500 dead, 215 strict press @ 220-230

[onyx flint]

Strict press is ohp?

[main lantern]

yea ohp

[onyx flint]

Good shit bro

[main lantern]

creatine is helpful but training hard and eating will prob get your farther than creatine

sleeping a lot as frequently as you can is prob the closest thing naturals have to peds so thats my number 1 recommendation

[teal phoenix]

When I was 232.5 lbs, I promised myself that I would get down to 195 before bulking. As of this morning, I weighed in at 192.5 lbs.

WE GO JIM AND START TOMORROW

It’s fitness related though

@abstract frigate

^^

Literally best of China

Insane

[simple kelp]

lejoro here

[humble bolt]

[vital dragon]

I keep this thread clean so it doesn’t devolve into the filth you all turned full timers into

[jade fiber]

You all?

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-of-wall-street-leonardo-dicaprio-laugh-laughing-at-you-gif-14711425

[vital dragon]

yes

[old parrot]

I think I fckued my rotator cuff

I was doing some high to lo cable flys and i put too much pressure on my shoulders and now they hurt

[abstract frigate]

A shoulder injury was the last straw that made me pivot towards running

[old parrot]

that sounds brutal

I think I’m fine though

the pains gone now

but it was like a sharp pain for 5 minutes

[abstract frigate]

Idk what i injured but it didn't heal itself. I even got blood plasma injections to help it heal

[simple kelp]

We go jim

Imma so cardio today

Actually

I need my heart rate to be fast

[teal phoenix]

i was out for a month because shoulder and knee

wasnt a workout injury tho I fell down the stairs

[onyx flint]

Pull day bois

Figured out how to do bent over row with back parallel to floor

Feels so goddamn good

[old parrot]

I figured out how to do rows and lats now

my back and lats are so fucking sore

but that might also be cause of the Creatine

[teal phoenix]

i pushed myself to reach and maintain 160 BPm. I was sweating so much it looked like I peed my pants

[simple kelp]

Leg day

Today

[abstract frigate]

Bent over

[onyx flint]

What’s neutral grip

[vital dragon]

It’s when you use a v handle iirc

Or one of those bars that have the circle things at the end so your hands are vertically oriented

[onyx flint]

Ah this thing?

[vital dragon]

Basically supposed to be better for the wrists

Yea like that

[onyx flint]

Hmm

I’ve always just been doing the standard pull up bar one

[vital dragon]

Same

As long as you’re not feeling pain in your wrist, it’s fine I think

What’s the difference

[onyx flint]

Yeah I’m just wondering because I don’t wanna add an extra exercise to pull day since it’s already long af

[vital dragon]

Oh fr?

[onyx flint]

So idk if I can replace original lat pull-down with neutral

[vital dragon]

I mean, worth a shot tho

[onyx flint]

Maybe I’ll alternate and do neutral on pull day 2

[vital dragon]

Also, bro

[onyx flint]

And regular on pull day 1

[vital dragon]

Off-topic but

Anyone else feel like full timers has gotten boring now

[vital dragon]

That’s not a bad idea

[onyx flint]

Lol I mean the shitposting comes in waves

[vital dragon]

I might try that out once I start going again

[vital dragon]

Yea tru

That reminds me. I need to schedule more appointments for physical therapy

[onyx flint]

A lot of the people who carry the shitposting are getting busier I think

[vital dragon]

Shoulder holding me back fr

[onyx flint]

Like Jake

[vital dragon]

That and it’s just cringe shitposting most of the time now tbvh

It’s either K-pop or tate

[onyx flint]

Ok yeah there’s way too much K-pop

It’s like 90% mousey too

[wide plume]

Bro tate is just me and Tony

[vital dragon]

Mousey is fine

Lejoro is mad annoying

[wide plume]

[vital dragon]

Oops @wide plume

[onyx flint]

Nah I mean like mousey is 90% of fulltimers now lol

[vital dragon]

[vital dragon]

Man is always online

Anyways. Sorry for digressing lol

[onyx flint]

Why tf do i feel sleepy at gym

After i did hella squats

Im yawning and closing my eyes

If there was a bed in thr gym id passouttttt

[ionic crater]

Coffee

[onyx flint]

Fuck I couldn’t fall asleep till like 2:30 last night

Back to my local gym I go lol

[abstract frigate]

We should hit the jim Rob

[simple kelp]

How tf do i get bigger forearms and wrists

Evry part of my body is growing except my forearms

[onyx flint]

Are you doing hammer curls

[simple kelp]

Oh ive been doin it

[onyx flint]

You can try dead hangs for wrist

[simple kelp]

[onyx flint]

https://youtu.be/uMVjg4VmftQ

https://youtu.be/pVM1XPl7oSA

Idk how well this stuff works but it’s worth a shot

[simple kelp]

Gna fuck up my wrist

Jk

Will try

My wrist weak af

[old parrot]

Same I couldn’t sleep till 3

I’ll probably have a weak gym day

[main lantern]

i feel like there are other body parts you should be working out harder than trying to get "bigger wrists"

1 wrist curl and 1 hammer curl a week along with static holds from hitting back and deadlifts should be enough

[humble bolt]

Wrist size matters for certain sports but didn’t know people cared much about size outside of that

[main lantern]

the test shown in that video might as well be a is your hand bigger than your face test

[simple kelp]

I can skinny forearms and wrists. I feel like if i punch a boxing bag it will break

[main lantern]

doesnt account for hand or finger length + BF % + where on the wrist you actually do it

[simple kelp]

I have long arms i think

Big wingspan

[main lantern]

these are my captain of crush grippers up to 2

which is 200 pounds

[onyx flint]

Yeah I agree idk how well that dead hang circuit will work in practice

I mean it’s prob good to get your grip up at least

But worrying about wrist size is prob pointless

[old parrot]

I tried incline bicep curls today

they go crazy

I’m about to replace concentration curls with those

My biceps are burning from that

[simple kelp]

I like regular bicep curls

But i do both

[onyx flint]

I do standing hammer curls and sitting bicep curls

[old parrot]

I do hammer curls too at the very end to work my brachialis

I’m gonna switch to incline curls for long head and preacher curl machine for short

[onyx flint]

Wait what are incline curls

I know regular bicep curls do bicep, reverse curls do forearm and hammer does both

[old parrot]

It’s bicep curls but you incline the bench

https://youtube.com/shorts/7_mSlgVfr_4?feature=share

This this

[onyx flint]

Oh lol that’s the curls I do

I incline it slightly

For full rom

[old parrot]

Oh I call them incline

cause I’ve seen people do them with no incline

[simple kelp]

Gah damn

Good workout today

Proud of myself

My entire upper body feels rock hard from pump

[onyx flint]

Lemme guess pull day?

[simple kelp]

Yessir

[onyx flint]

Yep there’s no pump like a pull day pump

By far my favorite day

You feel absolutely massive after pull day

[simple kelp]

[simple kelp]

Im built different @humble bolt

[abstract frigate]

Let’s get this over with

Hill repeats

[simple kelp]

Rest day today

[onyx flint]

Leg day fml

RDLs getting heavy now

[simple kelp]

Lmao

Do 1 rep max squat

[onyx flint]

Bro fuck that

I’m doing 5x5 squats rn

1rm would kill me

[simple kelp]

https://strengthlevel.com/one-rep-max-calculator

And do drop sets

5x5

[jade fiber]

I’m legit scared to push my weight in squats coz imma just fall the ground when doing a rep 🤣

[simple kelp]

i feel once

When trynna do 2rep max lmao

I mean it holds the bar

And u just sit down

[onyx flint]

You can put the backup bars if you’re doing maxes

So that if something happens it’ll catch the bar

But really don’t push your max max

Do close to it

Or just be like me and don’t do maxes at all but 5x5 lol

[jade fiber]

wait do you mean like the bar is attached to rods on the sides or smth?

[onyx flint]

I never really did rms tbh

[jade fiber]

You guys dont free weight?

[onyx flint]

The support bars

To catch the barbell if it falls

[jade fiber]

ohhhh fk fk

i see

[onyx flint]

https://assets.roguefitness.com/f_auto,q_auto,c_limit,w_1600,b_rgb:ffffff/catalog/Rigs and Racks/Rig and Rack Accessories/Infinity Accessories/XX4454/XX4454-WEB2_l30sy5.png

These things

[jade fiber]

i see

[onyx flint]

Spotter bars I guess you can also call them

[jade fiber]

so u put it at the bottom of ur squat height?

[onyx flint]

As high as you can put it where when you go all the way down the bar doesn’t touch basically

Because if the spotter arms are too low it’s basically useless anyways

[jade fiber]

true

[simple kelp]

Ah yes this

Thats y i do drop sets for squats and max out

[jade fiber]

Yea, I may have to use this, coz using a human spotter is sussy still

[simple kelp]

Need spotter

[jade fiber]

with bench theres a bit less room for movement at least

[onyx flint]

I’ve never had to use em thankfully but I think the way they work is if you absolutely can’t bring the weight back up and you’re stuck just go down a lil bit so the bar rests on the spotter bars and then you kinda like get out from under it

[abstract frigate]

God my knees are not feeling it today

[simple kelp]

WE GO JIM

[abstract frigate]

Haven’t had one of these here in a while

[onyx flint]

How old is your pfp @simple kelp

Damn you prob jacked af now

Same man same

[jade fiber]

Why tho 🤣

[onyx flint]

Fr bro

Ppl is life changing

[jade fiber]

Lean bulking is OP

[onyx flint]

Nah I can def relate

You still got rib bones and collarbone showing?

[jade fiber]

Damn, yea that makes sense

[onyx flint]

Yep same here my dream is to cover those up with muscle lol

Then I’ll truly be happy with my physique

[jade fiber]

My arms are so fkn skinny compared to the rest

[onyx flint]

Do you do curls + tricep stuff?

[jade fiber]

Actually I’m skinny all around but esp arms

[jade fiber]

Ye

[onyx flint]

Once I started isolating triceps my arms blew up

I do standing hammer curl, regular db curl sitting on incline bench, cable tricep pushdown, db tricep extension

And for shoulders I do lateral raises and face pulls

[jade fiber]

Ye I do a lot to that too but I need to go to gym more consistently

Also I need to bulk harder

[onyx flint]

How many days a week

[jade fiber]

I’m stupid skinny for my height

I’ve lowkey only been going twice to three times

[onyx flint]

Gotta go at least 3

Ideally 4-5

5-6 if you wanna go beast mode

I do PPL, rest, repeat

So it’s 5-6 days

Depending on how it lines up

[jade fiber]

6 days damn

I feel like the focus should be on eating tho when ur bulking right?

[onyx flint]

@simple kelp does consistent pplpplr I think

[jade fiber]

Over just gym

[onyx flint]

Right

[jade fiber]

I think I’ll lose too much weight if I go 6 days a week

[onyx flint]

My weight fluctuates but I can DEF see an increase in muscle mass from when I started

PPL is legit

And mine is 5-6x not even the rigid one

If you prefer a more consistent schedule go for his where you do PPL twice then rest

But if you want a lil more rest you can do mine

It’s personal pref

Wait @simple kelp you do leg curls on leg day?

Prone or sitting machine

Just curious because my sitting machine is outta order lol

Trying prone for first time

Holy shit the burn

I also had to drop weight by like 30lb lmfao

Damn your legs are beast mode

I was gonna do 105 on the sitting today lmfao

My quads blowin up tho, I’ll prob hit your leg curl in a few months

I’m at the Romanian dl weight where I’m really starting to feel it now too lol

Man leg day just keeps getting more brutal for me

Lol bro I’m doing 115 for 3x12 rn

160 is pretty damn good for Romanian imo

Like it’s mostly quads

The only thing I REALLY need to bring up is bench rn

I’m below bodyweight rn

Ohp for me

I’m so close to 1 plate I’m like 5lb off lol

I can prob do 1 plate tbh

Had a lotta bench deloads when I switched programs around lol

[jade fiber]

Holy fuck man you’ve made a lot of progress

[onyx flint]

Yeah def, I’ve been going consistently for like 6 months now?

[old parrot]

Fuck

dude

I misread the pre workout serving size

And accidentally took a little over double the reccomended amount

this my first time taking pre workout too

my body feel so fucked

[simple kelp]

[old parrot]

I’m getting tingling sensations everywhere and I feel everything so much more

[onyx flint]

And the weights feel like half the weight right

[old parrot]

I haven’t started lifting yet
