Welp, my training is hosed. Keep reaggravating something in my right side. Goes away with rest, then comes right back, even after taking a deload week. Looks like I gotta take at least 2 weeks off.

There’s definitely a good energy in the gym that feels nicer when lifting, having people around I even miss a little the annoyance of asking to work in, or the trainer playing the shittiest music loud loving plague, just wear a mask idiots

I have some pain in my left inner thigh, but it's not a constant ache. For example, I'll do barbell rows, but when I stand straight and walk forward to rack the bar, I get a pang in my thigh. Anyone have anything similar happen to them?

Yeah, in my case it was a hip flexor, took forever to improve Probably a bad squat, but mostly caused by lack of stretching hip flexors, yoga helped a lot

I benched 170 for 10 reps today, and I did it easily. You may think that's sounds lame, and it is, but to me it's progress. Hopefully I make it to 220 before I plateau.

You'll get there, friend. I only managed two sets of five at 165 today. I have a similar immediate goal of about 210. You'll make it!

Been looking at bars for deadlifts and the Rogue Cerakote Olympic looks very cool, but pricey (325 listed) I’ve seen offers for a regular metal bar as low as 100 dollars... but they’re not red  Plus these things probably last a lifetime...

Just note that cerakote scuffs real fast. At least my cerakote clips had scratches and patches missing after a week. Also if the bar is mainly for deadlifts, why not just buy a deadlift bar? Helios Grime fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Jul 21, 2020 |

I'd go with the Ohio Power Bar for that(unless you plan on doing a bit of olympic lifting), and I think you can order them in custom colors.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:I'd go with the Ohio Power Bar for that(unless you plan on doing a bit of olympic lifting), and I think you can order them in custom colors. Yes I think we’re talking about the same one, the custom color is the “Cerakote” coating I guess https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-45lb-ohio-powerlift-bar-cerakote This is good for general purpose right? Edit: oh wait, the Olympic one is the same price, now I’m confused https://www.roguefitness.com/the-ohio-bar-cerakote I think the main difference is this one doesn’t have center knurl, not sure if that’s good for squats or not, I guess it is? Edit again: reading a bit more, definitely better to have a center knurl for a general purpose bar, just one of those things I never thought about in the gym https://www.alphamale.co/center-knurl-vs-no-center-knurl-barbell/ Comfy Fleece Sweater fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Jul 21, 2020 |

I've been working on work capacity/cardio/endurance since everything's been shut down (and I don't have weights worth a drat at home) and my weight's been slowly dropping off. Nothing too aggressive, just tryna stay healthy. I ate something that really disagreed with me on Friday/Saturday and spent all day Sunday making GBS threads my brains out with some encore performances early yesterday. Weighed in -8 this morning from Saturday, thanks for coming to my Tedx talk

i guess they want to build on a mental association of gleaming polished steel, like a knife that can just slide right past your pitiful human flesh, yeeeeah in which case they obviously should have called it Stainless Stool

Lol that alpha male poo poo is why I'm so hesitant to do any sort of research for male bodybuilding outside of asking this thread or checking YLLS. I know that healthy resources exist but for every one of them there's a gross toxic counterpart. I've been following this dude because his posts are easy to digest and have helped my form, so far the worst I've seen from him is that he falls for easy trollbait  I snorted
