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

[Olympus]

Hit 160 on standing ohp twice tonight for two singles. That’s a pr. 20 more pounds and I’ll be pressing body weight.


I murdered my shoulders tonight. I struggled to put on my hat leaving the gym.

Love that feeling of not being able to function like a normal human after a workout. Makes me feel accomplished.

I got to walk up 3 flights of stairs to get into my crib. I just went grocery shopping and literally felt my body shutting down because you know we only make one trip no matter how many grocery bags we got...

Legs fried from squats and balancing all those bags had me looking drunk.

Lifting Bro's with Tattoo's

How long do y'all wait after getting a tattoo until your back in the gym?

I just got some work done on my calf and I took Sunday and Today off (might do some yoga tonight though). I sometimes feel like I take too long to get back in action.

I plan to go to dance class tomorrow and get back to the iron Wednesday morning.

 

[mplsdunk]

Next day. Just don’t rub all over it.

No down time for me. I just wear something loose so it doesn't rub.

Bros, I am coming back from a horrible spell of food poisoning(Copper Canyon Grill-never again). I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, I was out of commission for a week and half. Lost all kinds of strength.

I have lost probably around 30% on all my lifts within a 2 week period.

i know that feel man. had the stomach flu last year, not fun at all. lost like 7 lb.

at least its easier to gain back old strength/size. hope you feeling better

Speaking of dips, if you're looking for more tricep focus in your dips try this tweak:



3:55 for the variation if you don't want to watch the whole thing. Short version: lever arm must be perpendicular to gravity at some point during the exercise. Most people do dips with humerus perpendicular to gravity thus making the anterior delts the primary focus. To shift the focus to triceps you must be more upright during the dip and force the forearm to become perpendicular to really get the tricep working.

Changes the whole dynamic. So much harder, but definitely a better tricep exercise.

Careful bruh.

Thanks bro, it's part of the journey.

DB floor flys >>>>

Let’s you use more weight, take stress off your shoulder, and when you run out of gas you can press the DBs back up and do eccentrics.
