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

[suavamente]

I never pay attention to how i fall asleep or wake up. What's so good about sleeping on your back?

sleep is so damn important
i've seen my numbers/overall health/ breathing/ gut health all improve vastly prioritizing it

sleeping on your back is great for your spine and breathing while sleeping helps you get into full REM faster
also I: don't use my phone or electronics an hour before bed, keep my room cold, and take a cold shower before

don't use my phone or electronics an hour before

Very important. Therapist told me this several yrs ago.

Also contrary to popular belief, working out before bed does not help you fall asleep. It has the opposite effect. Blew my mind when she told me that.

 

[chucktwnsfinest]

The hell it doesn’t. As long as it’s not too late, I get that post workout meal in me and it’s a guaranteed 7 hours

Coming from someone who had ACL reconstruction, they haven't torn it, probably just a sprain or something, maybe meniscus related instead.

Thanks bro . Just been pacing myself and working up to it for about a month or so. It's on the elliptical if that matters :/

Is the deadlift bar supposed to be easier? If it is, what makes it easier?

What's a deadlift bar? Are you talking about a trap/hex bar?

 

[mplsdunk]

Deadlift bar has way more whip. Yeah it’s way easier, I can pull like 60 more pounds on one especially with wide bumpers.

They are fun, the bar starts whipping at like 185.

I honestly can't even picture what a deadlift bar looks like. Is it a trap bar, but missing one side? Like this:

 

[mplsdunk]

Nah. It’s just a straight bar.

60lbs more??

It looks like a regular bar. No knurling in the middle and the handle is a bit more narrow/skinnier.

Lol I think 60lb is a bit of a stretch but I guess it depends on the plates as well.

I did notice it was easier to break off the ground though.

 

[mplsdunk]

60lbs more??

At the time yeah, I was at 4 plate max pulling 455 with more in the tank.

It’s a huge difference. Even compare a stiff bar with metal plates to an oly bar with bumpers with the same weight. You’re gonna smoke it on the oly bar compared to the stiff.
