STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[timbo109]

if you read my posts, been talking about this for months. well it's time. your support would be appreciated.



iLLest!

Take this as constructive criticism. I'm definitely gonna subscribe to your channel because I read this thread, but if I was a random guy not reading this thread and I saw that teaser, I wouldn't be that inclined to subscribe. You're showing one set of one exercise. There's no sense of your personality or anything beyond that fact that you have a decent incline bench with dumbbells. I'd add in some other exercises to the teaser or add in some personality. I assume you're not directly emulating Zyzz, but hear me out. The reason Zyzz videos got him so popular was not that he was knocking out particularly impressive numbers or exercises, it was that his personality shined through - whether you liked it or hated it. Not saying you gotta do the singlet in the shopping cart come at me bro type antics, but perhaps rework the teaser to make it show some more personality. You don't necessarily have to redo the teaser - just keep that in mind for future vids. There's plenty of lifting channels out there providing pretty similar advice. What makes particular ones more popular is personality and the entertainment aspect. Think of that concept in terms of the Hodge Twins.
Looking forward to the channel though.

Anyone using a 6 pack bag? Hows the quality?

Looks sweet, but I couldn't justify 70 bucks on a glorified lunchbox. Honestly you could get a cooler and all the containers for half the price if you just ordered them separately.

So I hurt my lower back yesterday attempting to pull a couple 95lb dumbbells from the rack. Felt an area strain/pull, didn't exactly hurt, but it feels tight and because it's a back injury...I stopped immediately. Stretched it a bit yesterday, iced it down, and it feels better today, but I do still feel it. Not really sure what to do other than rest

Sucks man...I don't know if it's common for everybody, but I accumulate these nagging injuries and it's really frustrating

Probably wouldn't help as much with something this acute, but if you haven't already invest in some myofascial release technology - a foam roller, maybe a lax ball, or some PVC pipe. That stuff works wonders for nagging muscle soreness and injuries.

Its always 52.99 for 5lb

The natural is 1 cent cheaper... http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/natwhey.html

aite so today i worked on my chest but tried to do things a bit different and when up a bit more heavy for fewer reps. But I noticed I didnt really do more sets than usual and now I'm thinkin "well if i did fewer reps ive shoulved done at least a few more sets than usual on my workouuts". So I'm debating in going back to the gym later just to really feel like my day didnt go to waist..what u guys think?

Don't do it. Not every workout you have is going to be perfect. Also, the extent to which this slightly lower amount of volume today on your progress is negligible. Furthermore, there's definitely benefits to going heavier for fewer reps especially in terms of strength.

Tool.

smh.

That's awesome

Any of you subscribe to any fitness mags?

Nope, they're similar to the the Bodybuilding.com front page in that they just recycle the same workout routines and concepts with slight modifications and different trainers pushing them to sell units. Invest your time and money in reading peer-reviewed research.

Feels bad man.

Had a snowboarding trip this past weekend in Breckenridge and Keystone with about 22 people. Needless to say, the diet was not on point and the drinking didn't help either.

Going to go HAM these next couple of months, not drinking so much and disregarding what people say, I'm doing this on my terms. F the, but it's just one day nonsense.

[rook]

Just lifted without resting between sets...dawg. I felt like Rambo.

No more sitting around going through my phone between sets anymore man. I was feeling burn and sweating like hell while lifting, which is something I normally don't do because I take long as hell rests smh

I've subscribed to Men's Health and all that junk you see at the Grocery store. The best one I've ever subscribed to was "REPS". They sell em at Barnes & Nobles.

 

[blazinrook]

2nd week into my cut.

i usually workout at night.

I'm trying to workout in the morning. but halfway through my workouts i have no energy.

-i think i'm going to try to split my workout with meals in between.

cardio, breakfast, snack, lift, food, etc.

schools starting back out, good luck to everyone on the grind!

 

[swizzc]

its cold as **** right now. walking to the gym is going to suck :-(

 

[jking0821]

Man i suck at resting.

Does anyone swear by the 3 exercises per body part methodology?

My dad is a former body builder and was all "you do too much" because on chest days i do - Flat bench - incline dumb bell - dumbell fly - and cords for light sculping at the end. Some times i will super set regular bench press with some light weight dumbell fly too.

He said that was too much. He also can't believe i do bi's and tri's on the same day. Since he does bis- and back and chest and tris. But when i do that i feel like i don't get the burn i get when i take a day to hit tri's by themselves. They get hit a little on chest day just from benching but after chest im usually tired and its harder for me to work tris hard and get that burn.

But i guess i will switch my routine up for a bit see how it goes. Can't hurt i guess. But today is supposed to be rest day....I will run for 30 mins or so and maybe do some lats. Dead lifted 315lbs yesterday. I think I can do a little more next week. Did two sets at 315lbs with 3 reps each and my grip was failing on the second set.

Deadlifting 315 raw is pretty good. Get some straps for the next time you try it.

Idk what it says about my physique but i am 6 foot 180lbs and i can only bench 180. But i love dead lifting. Ive been told knee wraps and a belt and i could easily increase my dead lift by 20 lbs. But i will look into straps. I feel like that will be my first "accessory".

I sometimes only do 3 exercises for small body parts like bis and tris or forearms. But for back and chest I do about 5. It's all personal preference IMO, and what it takes you to feel like you worked that particular body part hard enough that day.

 

[macbk]

Tris and Bis at 10AM. Love arm day .

 

[ootherocoo]
