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

[isyouserious]

I work out alone more often than not, as it allows me to finish my workouts faster. Don't be afraid to ask for a spot though and bring headphones.

5pm to 8pm in my experience are usually a nightmare.

And hitting the gym on the weekend been trying to get my bestfriend the last month but our schedule doesnt match... So i know this sounds stupid but tips on working out alone? Back in high school I used to workout with a friend and I only did it for 2 and a half week lol, And best time for a non crowded gym?

Early mornings, late evenings (830pm-on)
Weekends.

No need for advice, just go on and do it. Headphones, pre-workout if you use it, and do workouts that don't require spots. In my experience, the only lift I have ever needed a spot on is bb bench (flat, decline or incline) so use dbs for those.

 

[mplsdunk]

Don’t be afraid to ask for a spot, obviously ask someone who looks competent.

Back Squat: Adipowers only
Front Squat: Metcon 2/3/4's
OHP: Hi-top Chucks or Metcons
Bench Press: Metcons
DL: Hi-top Chucks
Everything else: Metcons

Running: Asics Gel Exalts or assorted Nikes

Usually have 4-5 pair of shoes in the trunk and take 2-3 with me to the gym.

This is extra af b

You working out or hitting the runway

Some of the best motivation for bench press is not having a spot lol. U know u gotta get that **** up or u doing the roll of shame or the cry for help lol. Double edged sword tho lol

All this talk of shoes......I’m still using the same damn pair of beaten up old Air Veers for everything. I’m actually on my second pair.

I got a pair of Roms from m boiz and I can’t even use them.

 

[jon4rd]

Metcons 2 dsx for squats/leg day

Chuck's on deadlift/pull day

Random on push day

I don't change kicks during my workout. Though I see some cats switching into squat shoes when they do squats sometimes.

Yea I switch to my romaleos to squat but for the rest of leg day I’m in my Nike free 1.0s. Rock those on back day too for deadlifts.

In your guys experience, what makes Romaleos better than say Chuck's or metcons?

Stability? Raised heel?

Everything. Try a pair of oly weightlifting shoes bro you won’t turn back. May be placebo but I didn’t hit 4 plate squat till I copped some romaleos

 

[JPS]

ask a hot looking girl to spot a weight u can hit easily.

I lol when I see dudes benching more than their chicks can DL. You miss that lift, you gonna die papi.

I'd only save broskis I know or bad bishes in the gym. Errybody else on they own.

Why cant you??

 

[sharpshooter718]

just copped the beachbody on demand for a year

 

[jamesandstl]

Why cant you??

I don’t know. I guess maybe more like I don’t like them.......or anything with a heel. I tried them at first and they were ok and I tried a couple more times and they just aren’t for me.

Did burpees as part of warm ups. As many as you can in one round
