What the gently caress do you do for work that you don't get in early and work your rear end off all day?

E: yeah I think I'll give the morning workout a try for a week or two. I do have a fairly physical job (it varies sometimes) so we'll see how I fare.

Going to bed early sucks but it’s one of the most important things you can do if you want to at all maintain going that early.

Ok that’s a lie I’m still at the gym today.

I shouldn’t complain about the weather but it’s loving 80 degrees at 10:30 and the gym is hot as gently caress.

I went to the gym then came home and finally moved my home “gym” from the spare room to the garage.



I’d like to get a bench eventually if I can get a good price on one.

There are some DBs in the back that I need to get a rack for.

I try and wait till I can get them for $0.50 a LB on amazon.

I strained my wrist doing OHP on Wednesday and it still hurts too much to hold the rack position for front squats.

Is this disappointment or relief?

Does it hurt if you do the crossed arms front squat?

I've not gone to the gym to start deadlifting yet, hard days at work and "busy" on the days off. Need to go there during office hours to get a keycard and I a guess need to buy gym shoes first too.

Just get chucks or something with a flat sole 🤷🏻‍♂️ you ain’t gotta break the bank for anything

Yoga is pretty legit for lifting. I used to do it 2x a week and it seriously helped with all my mobility. Not the hippy dippy yoga though. Doing like a power / flow yoga class is a great rest day activity.

Also all the hot women.

Not trying to be a dick but what the gently caress are you doing in yoga of all things to hurt your self? I'm in my late 30s and did yoga for years and never hurt my self.

Are you sure you were doing it right?

Yeah I really need some good wireless earphones. I go through 20 dollar skull candy corded ones about once a month because the plug always breaks from being in my pocket at work from getting down on my knees/sitting on the floor a lot. And I don't use earphones now at the gym because of the wires.

https://www.amazon.com/Bose-SoundSp...2Bwireless&th=1

These the ones you got? I didn't know they made wireless with actually no wire around your neck.

If you have an iPhone AirPods for lyfe.

Not having a wire is amazing really.

Bose soundsport sits well and has great sound. The iphone airpods are a bit iffy with sound quality and have a tendency to fall out of people’s ears

I’ve never had mine fall out doing anything from running to lifting to whatever else.

Yeah they aren’t perfect for everyone but they are drat good for most people.

never could anticipated they feel as loving incredible as they do. but lol gently caress paying $700 for one. a local guy makes jigsaw attachments out of golf balls so grabbing one of those instead.


10/10 muscle orgasmic feels

I made one of those Jigsaw guns and I think it cost me about $90 total. I have a lacrosse ball and golf ball attachments and they both work great.

Its super simple to make one.

I signed up for my first competition. It's only for people who don't have an official total logged or haven't totalled in over a year. With any luck, I won't make a complete rear end out of myself in comparison to the other 109kg dudes. I'm just going for a total and the experience anyhow.

Now to get down to 109kg....

Nice congrats! How long do you have?

Heck naw, I had a decent test week. Had 185x8+ on bench, I really wanted 10 and failed the 10th rep right at lockout somehow, but 9 was still progress. Then I had 225x8+ on squats and knocked out 12 and then tapped out. And then I uploaded my legging butt picture to Tinder and I'm talking to like 5 or 6 girls right now so it's exciting times for triple d.

Hell yeah my man. :hfive:

They’re pretty good. I find them more comfortable myself

TLDR trap bar deadlifts are great and do them if they work better for you since most of us aren’t going to compete anyway.

What should I make for my work's pot luck? Someone is already bringing banana bread, and they've banned nuts and durians so that rules out the most obvious three picks.
It takes me a minimum of 6 months to go from "gently caress I'm fat" to actually losing weight, and the first step is to stop buying and making sugary junk food. I still eat large amounts of food and gain a bit more weight before the real weight loss starts.

Roasted Brussel sprouts yo.

oh i absolutely asked for proof.

she doesn't have a squat video but she showed me one of her push pressing 135x3 without a front rack

when i was like "my god woman use a front rack" she asked "what's that?"

so now she just wants to get margs and talk lifting.

How is she doing it then? Cleaning it up?
