Planks are great, do them all day.

E: it's even better if you work your core and THEN do planks. It's hard.

Pumped iron for the Iron Dread Abuela.

Voted last week, because I don't wanna take time away from blasting my core with these planks between weighted hyperextension crunches and twists.

Still fuzzy this morning, didn't lift.

Haha don't you hate it when you do a deadlift and when it's pulled up all the way your dick hangs over the bar haha

Sometimes I forget a change of boxers so I'm freeballing it, and then my balls hang over the bar too.

I was lifting with my friend today who is literally the vp of his fraternity and he told me he never works out rear delts because "girls don't look at rear delts."
Who was I to call him, who is both way more ripped and successful with women than me, wrong?

gently caress chicks, just lift.
Take that however you want.

I talked to my local gym dwarfthe mythical creature, not genetic. He was a cool dude, I complimented him on his squatting of 550 lbs, then he brushed it off and said he was trying to get to his 1 rep max but decided not to and just peak there.
He squatted myself, my other manlet gym friend, and my big friend all piled up.
To me, he's a goddam hero.

No gym today, went hiking instead. The deadlift soreness kicked in halfway through, and I started feeling the hills in my rear end. Good times were had, as was fried chicken.

To be fair if he did that all in succession of course it would kill him.

Speaking of cardio, after a year of lap swimming I finally figured out why I was working so hard and still only had 40 minute miles... I haven't been applying power to 100% of my stroke. I was easing up at about waist level, not applying any power to the last 20% of the movement down to my hips. As soon as I figured that out, my lap time is down to 50 seconds, from 70, with the same effort. drat, I'm an idiot.

But in my defense I was never actually taught how to swim, I've just been doing it wrong my whole life. Thanks, youtube videos breaking down the strokes of olympic swimmers
Same with never being taught to swim formally (outside of the things they teach you as a kid so you don't drown). I still can't do laps freestyle, can't seem to get enough breath that way, always gas out after two laps. Backstroke all day.
(Did that this morning. Good stuff, and the warm, humid pool air was good on my sore throat)

Re: compression pants.

About a month ago (around the time the thread was destroyed by the name conspiracy), I was squatting and a dude came up in the rack next to me. As he's putting one 35er on each side (a weight he never changed, I thought he was just warming up but NOPE), I noticed he was wearing what could only be described as American flag leggings. I'm sure they were marketed as compression pants, but they were leggings.

These leggings had his dick and balls in the most grotesque headlock, and he's just walking around the gym like nothing is wrong. :stonk:

It was horrifying and is still burned into my retinas. Compression pants on guys without some kind of dick-wrangler: not even once.

Probably depends on their goals, but making them stop drinking soda is the biggest one I've seen when talking to friends about trying to get into shape.

In the US, that is.

No more soda, lift heavy things. Pretty straightforward.
