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

[m boiz]

did you spit some knowledge to him?

hes gonna look back one day and @ himself for that

Nope. I am a firm believer of only giving advice if its asked for or someone is in danger of hurting themselves or others, not just form wise.

 

[Olympus]

People are generally too proud to accept unsolicited advice from a stranger.

 

[mplsdunk]

I mean yeah that’s some dumb ****.

What gets me is he is clearly interested in lifting. The dude went out and bought a slingshot but he has no idea what it’s for.

 

[mplsdunk]

Not gonna lie. I was supposed to de load this week but this is the first time I lifted since Monday. Been like -10 this week and that **** has me wanting to blow my brains out so I did the next best thing and drove 10 hours south for work for a few days.

Kept it chill today 10x10 bb row and bench supersets. 95 on the rows 135 on bench

Back squats
275 3x5

I’ll start really lifting again tomorrow. This happened last year too. Got cold af and I quit lifting for New Years because I hate leaving the house. everyone starts the gym New Years and I just dog it.

 

[jon4rd]

Looks like buddy has on wrist wraps too . Mans must have watched YouTube videos and went out and copped all the gear he saw mans using

 

[ahat]

I think i wanna run ed coan again, just not sure whats a good amount to try and increase this time around. Was thinking 10lbs. Yall think 10 is too much? Should i just go up 5?

 

[mplsdunk]

I mean even if you go up by 5 your max is still gonna go up 20 with that program.

 

[Rumble Gang]

Just getting back in the gym after 5 days of being sick af. Had such a bad sinus infection that a z pak didn’t clear it up. Doc had to put me on levaquin. I lost 5lbs and I hate the mind f*** when you look in the mirror

 

[W)taps]

Shoutout to the NTer that recommended the Netflix documentary Born Strong. Was a real good documentary definitely recommend watching it I also watched another one on Eddie Hall

 

[Tank Top Master]

To everyone just getting into/back into, stay with it y'all. Those of you who stay consistent making progress with basic compound lifts, hitting your macros, getting your sleep, taking rest days, etc. will see the benefits. Those who don't will be back in the same position they are now this time next year.

This time of year always makes me laugh. All these fools wilding in the gym thinking they doing it. Grown *** dudes doing more talking than lifting but squatting 115 for reps. Dudes getting spotted/missing reps @ 135 on bench. DYEL dudes and whale females starting off sessions with fluff isolation movements. Cats skipping leg day...

Yes, everyone starts somewhere but most people have no clue what they are doing. Biggest pieces of advice to anyone starting out or starting over:
1) Be consistent
2) Leave your ego at the door
3) Don't be afraid to ask obvious lifters for advice
4) Learn how to lift with good form (see #2 and #3)
5) Linear progression

Quality and consistency

 

[jumpmanpro97]

is it safe to go back to the gym now? All the new years resolution people are gone now?

 

[mplsdunk]

Nah man. There was a bunch today but they all seemed aight. No one was in the way or none of that.

Some dude did carry a 100 pound plate around the gym screaming but if that’s the worst thing that happened that’s a good day.

But you benching more than 60lbs

 

[doxen5703]

Found some jordan compressions at Marshall’s today. They were only $16, but they’re full length.
Oh well, gonna be one of those guys with shorts over tights.

 

[grimeyy]

Nothing wrong with shorts over tights imo. Better than rocking compression with your print exposed to everyone

 

[Rumble Gang]

Proud wrist wrap user checking in

Nothing wrong with wraps when you’re pushing real weight or protecting your wrists. Vs pressing 60lbs I throw them on only heavy bench/shoulder work. Especially with a lot of DB work

 

[AZwildcats]

But you benching more than 60lbs

This i can confirm

 

[aychd]

Starting this low carb diet. Trying to get my stomach right I’m excited for this journey man.

I think i wanna run ed coan again, just not sure whats a good amount to try and increase this time around. Was thinking 10lbs. Yall think 10 is too much? Should i just go up 5?

I'd say 10, due to the length. Usually for squat/dl you can go up 10. For bench, usually it's 5lb, depending on how long the program is.
