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

400


95% beats 94%. You just gotta get that other 5%. You pulled 500lbs off the ground. 500 pounds. You picked up two black bears. Let that sink in for a moment.

I don't think we give ourselves the adulation we deserve, sometimes. You have to think about how much your pulling/pushing. It's crazy when you think about it.

Even if you fail, time is your friend. You have to find the positive's in the negatives.
 
These volume workouts are the wave. Will be out the country for 2 weeks so hopefully my hotel gym has some **** that I can do at least. Fiending to get back to it, though.
 
Damn fellas missed 500lb DL :smh: . Not too mad considering I went into the gym thinking its gonna be a sh** day but the weights were feeling LIGHT midway. Wasn't even gonna attempt 500 but thought I'd try.

135x12
225x8 
275x6
315x5
365x4
405x2
455x1
500 failed. Had my buddy video it. I felt like I was only 1/2 up and I knew I wasn't gonna lock it at that point. BUT I HAD IT IT UP ALL I HAD TO DO WAS LOCK IT >: . My mind got the best of me.

Moral: KEEP PUSHING

Then went to pistol squats and accessory leg work. Followed by 12:30 on the stairmaster

Good stuff :pimp:

Have u been pulling 450+ for a while?
 
I tried to fit into those skinny jeans Allie know everyone else but Bruh that's not happening lmao


I bought some topman jeans yesterday I had to go up a size so that my thighs would fit but it's nice stretchy material so it doesn't feel constricting.

Nah bruh the easy guy fit ain't skinny at all. There's hella room in the thighs and seat. And they got the 11oz stretch (thats the kind I got) and I swear I can do roundhouse kicks in them bad boys
 
^^^

Keep working fam, hit heavy volume for a week then return the next and claim that.

You had the right rep scheme going up though.
Good stuff

Didn't get to go to the gym today :smh:
Had chipotle for lunch (why did I get the hot sauce)
And I was shooting bloodfire out my *** for about 4 hours. Had to lay on my stomach for the rest of the night :smh: I was doing so well too
 
Anyone ever read Wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis?

Anyone cut out all wheat products from their diet as a result?

If so how did your body react? Faster recovery after injury? Improved health?


My reasons for asking are two fold. Deal with ankle and knee pain/stiffness on the daily. Davis claims folks who cut out wheat completely reported being pain free after several months on their new diet.

Secondly both my paternal and maternal grandfathers died of heart attacks in their early 60s, both were slim men who didn't smoke. Davis (who is a cardiologist) claims that wheat elimination can prevent and reverse coronary heart disease.

LMK fellas, if anyone is in the know. I only eat whole grains/wheats but he says even those are bad. I otherwise eat very clean.
