Defiant Sally posted:He's just a weird gently caress and says and does weird poo poo. He actively respositions himself in the gym based on where I'm working out, always somewhere in my peripheral, and then starts looking around left to right, trying to nonchalantly and casually make eye contact with me. He'll even do this when I'm mid set doing volume squats or lunges. He'll just stand there in the mirror behind me, flicking his eyes around like a lizard. Once he's got me talking past 'hey dude', he'll immediately try bait me into answering questions about diet and training. He works out a little earlier than me, and a couple times now he's been waiting for me after his workout for god knows how long, waylaying me with another conversation on my way into the gym. I've managed to avoid him by going upstairs to the track level as soon as I get into the gym a couple times, but I've seen him come up and do a single lap around the track, looking for me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xFH-y-gJn6w

If you're "comfortable" at the beginning a trap bar deadlift, you're strongly favoring the squat end of the squat-hinge continuum. A proper hip hinge movement feels uncomfortable as hell because before you even start, all the posterior musculature from your upper back down to your knees should be tense. If you like trap bar deadlifts because they're "comfortable", then you're indeed doing the equivalent of a pin squat from half depth.

I took a double scoop of that All Black Everything preworkout on Sunday and tried to squat the weight I was doing before I got sick. Today is the first day I can sit on the toilet without almost crying from the pain.

Trap bar deads are uses by plenty of strength and conditioning coaches. They arent the best primary movement for building the conventional deadlift and its variations, but it also isnt a useless variation/supplemental/accessory movement for conventional deads.

I don't squat & my legs are bigger than yours. REAL TALK: If you're a powerlifter or strongman who competes, by all means skip trap bar DL's. Otherwise, who gives a poo poo. I do them every 3 months or so just to make the other guys at the gym think I'm strong as gently caress I'm not

If you're looking for jacked people who are also Supa Stronk then look no further than up and comer Larry Wheels. He calls himself the worlds strongest bodybuilder and he's probably right. He's a 20 something that has blown up on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aRPLMQslSg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgMtStkvyyw&t=605s He has been training with both Thor and Eddie in strongman poo poo and was last seen getting interested in armwrestling. He is also refreshingly honest about his steroid usage It turns out armwrestlers are pretty stronk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkkL-bAH8H4&t=3s Zzulu fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Apr 12, 2019 |

JH takes such good care of the place. Such a nice dude too, I sent him a message asking if I could come by for a lift and how I should pay, he's just like "I just re-activated your entry card, have fun."

Awesome owners, super well maintained and clean, awesome people, great/cool equipment, etc. It is lousy with youths so i have plenty of Old Man Yells At Cloud moments, but fewer of those moments than I have in any other gym. For instance, the last time i was at my second favourite gym i seent a bunch of high school kids hitting nose torque before every set for 1 hour.

Someone convince me not to do the conjugate method in like a month. My form is bad, im weak, i have no coach and no good training partners. But i have a shitload of bars, a mono, bands, chains, ghr, hyper, belt squat, etc. and if i set up my DE days with straight weight I should be able to do my ME or DE days in any gym while Im travelling
