My gym is closed until monday, which is a shame. I just had the best poo poo, and I can't follow it up with squats :negative:

one leg day.

ive been doing starting strength for like five months so im basically an expert. any fewer than 3 leg days a week means you are a loving bitch boy whose jeans probably fit well.

Shirts are too tight around the shoulders and too baggy around the waist. Like those guys look good in their shirts but that can't be comfortable.

Also, my old janitor buddy who I talked to every night for 2 years finally retired, I'm going to miss him but he is now free of cleaning gym chalk off everything and organizing dozens of plates/dumbbells that assholes leave scattered around every night. He said he plans on going fishing and catching up on sleep :unsmith:

I constantly dream about printing a bunch of "If you're strong enough t lift the weight, you're strong enough to put it back in its place" signs and hang them all over

Or perhaps one of those "if you need help lifting the weights back to their racks, ask one of the lady trainers, they'll be happy to help"

I dunno man, leaving 4 45lbs on the chest press marines isn't a huge deal but still, loving move them back

Did Ronnie Coleman leave his 18 dumbbells on the squat bar?

Leg day is my favorite because showing off on leg press and calf raises is my only reward for my years of obesity.

I trained shoulders at lower intensity-higher volume this morning and apart from one rep at 55 my elbows did not hurt.

Now I just need to figure out a back day that isn't reliant on grip.

Just use straps. No one is gonna judge you. Or does that bother your elbow too.

I used straps for the first time in the workout I mentioned before by the way, and it was a revelation. gently caress, I'm not going to compete in anything, and I have a juicer so I don't need the grip strength to crush fruits with my bare hands, so why not use straps for my work sets and lift heavy rear end weight?

Weirdly yeah it did. Trying to keep things loose and relying on the straps created more problems than it solved last time I tried.

Gotta make that money man its still the same now
I play my guitars after I get home from the gym, so when I finally looked at straps after never ever using them I just splurged on Versa Grips because they looked like they would be a hell of alot more comfy for my baby wrists. Apparently strap snobs think they are silly, but they have been amazing and provide excellent grip. Really quick to set up on the bar for deadlifts or whatever too.

I don't own any versa grips nor care to buy any but they are really good but they sort of wear a tiny bit faster than straps do. They are way better than straps though. gently caress a hater.

This one guy who has been going to my gym for 5+ years gave me a super smug look when he saw me putting them on, but I have a really good physique whereas he has been frogteching like crazy all this time lol. He has cheap straps, but I've never once seen him squat or deadlift so I guess they only get used for rows on a machine. So fat he probably can't balance in a squat :frogc00l:

straps


Personally I never use straps simply because training my grip (and my forearms??) is one of the big reasons I even do deadlifts

Being able to grab really heavy poo poo and lift it has improved drastically once I started doing deads and I just don't see the point of straps. Like yeah, you'll probably be able to lift a few kilos more, but that's because you're using a tool to bypass your natural grip strength so UR CHEATING

UR A CHEATING COWARD AND UR MOM WOULD BE ASHAMED

I use straps often and I've deadlifted 705lbs off of blocks without them. Does your dumb opinion help you lift that much?
