Pump it up! Do it! posted:I'm starting to get a bit fatter and I really wanna bulk for real but the problem is that I'm studying abroad in a country where there always is beach weather and I hang out a lot at the school pool with all the hot girls and don't wanna get fat. Real men have curves

I'm not the strongest swimmer (yet) but I still enjoy it when the very fat or very elderly are taking up a lap lane while using the hand and/or foot paddles, and I still swim faster than them. But then some young turd comes in and blows me away with her lap times, and then I just get more determined and try harder. Then salami time.

I wanted a rum and coke one night after the kid was in bed but I was cutting, so instead I put some run in a cherry coke zero.... it tasted just like Nyquil, so don't do that.

I saw a movie once where a guy had to do a lot of Crank to keep his heart racing or he'd die. I forget the name of it. So that may be good for lifting.

Thee was a larger than usual group of lifters in the gym this morning, I mean "larger" in both their numbers and stomach girth. It looked like 2 experienced guys were training 4 new guys. Anyway, is there a name yet for a group of lifters? I'd like to submit "grunt." There was a grunt of lifters taking up space in the gym this morning, putting their water bottles on equipment they weren't using, getting in everyone elses way.

Did my full hour of laps this morning, so I feel better about my own piece-of-shititude. It's awesome to see people get in to do their laps after you, take a bunch of breaks after every other lap when I go nonstop, and be done and out of the pool before you.

I like mixing tuna and saltine crackers in my mac and cheese. Good protein that way, if a few more carbs than I like... Mix in peas, also, as a wild card.

Just left the gym. Already getting tired of new people flailing around and screwing up my rotation. I am going to be very irritable with the coming resolutioners. I might need to stock up on chill pills.

Pesmerga posted:New intakes to university gyms are the worst. Bunch of 'this is the first time in a properly equipped gym' teenagers who spend most of their time using it incorrectly and taking selfies. In my gym the regulars are a group of six guys with prison tats who do the bro hug and talk about women and motorcycles, a few of us in there with our heads down grunting and dropping sweat, a few very hot women in there as personal trainers, and then for some reason we are all outnumbered by the elderly, oblivious to their surroundings, doing one set on everything with no weight, and moving on. When you throw new people in it all just breaks down. Everyone be REALLY discouraging to people talking about joining g a gym soon... If they aren't committed enough to go in spite of a little discouragement, then they aren't going to stick with it, anyway.

Khorne posted:You forgot the key commandment of elderly gym use: Thou shalt not have a rom greater than 0.5 inches, even if you are guaranteed to have greater rom while doing things like walking or getting situated at the machine. Right? Last year I had that exact observation... it seemed like the only movement was the passive palsy of his muscles. And I noticed something the other day... I've always noticed the elderly, on the machines, when they are done they remove the pin from whatever weight and put it back to zero. I always wondered about that. But then I noticed all the signs, "If you are strong enough to load the weight,then you are strong enough to unload the weight. Put it back." These old people think they are putting the weight back by moving the pin.

I scuba dive and I wore my wet suit and stuff for Halloween while me and the other dads sat at the end of the driveway drinking and handing out candy. My bis and tris are getting so swole that my suit was super-tight on my upper arms, I had a hard time getting it pulled on. This could become a problem if I keep making arm gains. I'll have to get a custom suit. $$$$ Swole people problems.

I enjoy working the roman chair. I don't hold any additional weight though, I just do 3 sets to failure. For several years I could not get a full night of sleep due to back pain, but once I started doing these, after about a month, now I sleep great again. Although I also started swimming and losing weight at the same time, so that prolly added to the "good night's sleep" system. But I do love that roman chair. Feels good, man.

Was feeling low-energy this morning but trying to push through it. I lift without spotters because I don't have any friends (I am very off-putting) and I was in the middle of my 225 set on the bench and half way up.... got stuck. Had one of those OH gently caress moments because I also didn't have any collars on the bar... because of my lack of spotters I don't push to failure, so I am usually fine. But all of a sudden I was at failure and about to be hosed, but I yelled out and somehow got the bar up. That was scary. And it woke my rear end up.

Short hoodie guy was training someone today, and I heard him say, "See that long muscle there? That's your bicep. But there's also another muscle right next to it, and you need to work that one too with a closer grip on the bar." I thought they were called BIceps because they were two muscles. Right or wrong?

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

Serious post, I went commando for over 30 years but figured peeps at the gym probably didn't want to know my religion every time I lay down to bench....so for lifting days I got these hanes snug half boxers that are designed to whisk sweat away from your skin. I actually like them a great deal, and much cheaper than under armor stuff. I drop a lot of sweat while lifting so they are good for me.
