nice response.

Man dl are so hit or miss. Like obviously we all can pull a good amount any day of the week but as far as hitting big pr's it's like the planets just align some days and it isn't even hard but the week before you couldn't even get 50 less pounds that easy.

Like I just walked into the gym like I'll take it easy. Well the weight was moving quick that day so I just decided to go for it. I like not having a plan for pr's.

 

[Olympus]

Periodizing my bench press now. 3x a week, undulating format. One week in, and I'm seeing some numbers come up. Still working on tightening my form and getting that leg drive down.

Didn't you just say your max was 445 last week tho?

But yeah man. We about the same (should be). I just wanted it to feel lighter this time than it did a month ago. But yeah. I'm probably just overthinking. Might have been "one of those days".

At least I hit a 330 PR on the bench. Although I wasn't really excited lol it was like "ok cool".

But this one dude who *thinks* he press 4 plates was looking at me like I wasn't gonna hit it. When I looked up when I was done he was lookinh away. Lmao. I know he saw it tho. I do that move all the time. Lmaoooo

Random fitness thoughts.

Why do people wait for parking spots at the gym? Do they not see the irony?

Woman at work talking about "the hidden sugars in fruit" Oh bananas?!?! and strawberries so much surgar which is not good for you at all. Orders KFC for lunch....like ok? but like...eat the fruit honestly...

Coworker: "You don't know what its like to be tired and sore and have no motivation to go to the gym, it is really hard"

bruh....if it were easy everyone would do it...like you think i magically appear at the gym and magically stay in shape?

Do sharks complain about Monday? No. They’re up early, biting stuff, chasing ****, being scary — reminding everyone they're a ******* shark.

I love parking far. Cardio head start lol.

That quote though is probably one for the stupidest and corniest things I've ever read. Bad analogy is bad

That's how I've hit 70% of my PRs. No intention of doing it but did it

quote got posted on IG by Phil Heath yesterday....i loled

 

[Olympus]

This explains why my bench has struggled while my squat and DL are improving. I've been going to failure on my bench for practically a year whereas I'm doing more volume on my squat and DL.

 

[JPS]

Y'all remember dajondondo?

Salty dude following me around on IG.

 

[soundview]

Lol @ that quote.

I hate when people act "fake" busy. Like you can be "busy" but you ain't BUSY. Like I tell them, Oprah is busy. Bill Gates is busy. Hell, even El Chapo is busy and he still made time to break out twice, but you don't "have time" to do ____ and ____. Nah, you just don't wanna MAKE time. Say it like that....

 

[BranchLifestyle]

Yup, my own brother says that because he travels for work he had no time to workout... Smh. I give him options to do at the hotel gym, but he like nah. Welp

They spend too much time watching reality TV and playing video games.

 

[Mark Antony]

Seeing level executives schedules made me stop that busy nonsense. Dudes run billion dollar organizations with constant meetings and still have a rich family and social life penciled in.

My sister has like 3 jobs, goes to school and has 3 kids. Those are some busy people, most normal folks aren't.

 

[calibeebee]

Hahaha I piss and moan nonstop about working full time and going to university. Meanwhile some of my co-workers are like, "nah son. I have 4 kids, work as a nurse at the hospital at night, work at this job during the days, and ride my bike 20 miles a day between jobs. And I workout and run my own business in my spare time."

I still think I don't have a lot of time, but I know it's just an excuse and I keep my complaints to myself and NT now

 

[206to813]

Wth... I love when I get to travel for work, as far as working out goes. I can get my work done and then stay as long at the gym as I want. I be at the gym for 2 hrs when I travel. That's assuming there's a real gym in the area, not the crappy hotel gyms. But in those cases still no excuse to get something in.



Side note I tried dumbbell suitcase carries today. They felt alright. I used 90 lb dbs. I'll keep doing them and try 100s next time. I threw in some farmers which I like a lot more

 

[soundview]

Yup.

Like I've always said. You have two types of people: Those who talk about it and those who did it.

People love excuses. Those who don't catch up, get left behind.

A lot of people honestly don't even know what "busy" is.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Side note, 206to813 I miss strongman exercises. I used to love log pressing. Farmers walk, etc. It was fun to incorporate strongman into my PL routine. I should be able to get back into it once I switch this membership to Mount Vernon Barbell.

Lol. I bought about 12 blocks for less than $15 on Amazon years ago.

I can't wait to get back into squats.

Yeah, people looking makes me go harder. Lol.

 

[mplsdunk]

My gym has it for free, I just had to go to anytime that day because my boys wanted to go at like 11 and they were closed. I'll never deadlift at anytime anymore, it just isn't the same.

 

[flyny]

When do y'all eat y'all protein bars?

 

[getback]

Usually as a snack at work.

 

[JPS]

If I'm in a rush and need a quick snack to munch on
