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

[deusavertat]

Man I remember I went to a few classes at a more competition focused school. Their warmups were way longer and more intense than what I was used to.. that was the only time I threw up at bjj, mountain climbers got me

Yea thats why I really like my tues thurs class aside from the instructor being really good he skips all that aside from a basic fundamental warm up we skip all the other drills and instead he starts class with like 5 to 6 timed light roll sessions before fundamental drills. I feel less guilty about skipping the end of class roll sessions which I did this week.

20 min of running, crawling, and jumping jacks is kind of a waste of time but some of these dudes are out of shape.

some random notes from this week in gym tings:

i have a membership @ 24hr so they’re everywhere around me, so i pull up to a few different locations and it’s funny seeing other people from one gym at other gyms, if that makes sense

it’s wild how dirty folk are at these public gyms, no consideration/home training these days …

my grip was failing me all week on deadlifts, weirdly because it’s not as if i’ve been doing more volume to tax my grip but my callouses were killing me and i was struggling getting good grip (a certified fit chick was in the rack opposite of me & was from the mirror & it had the opposite of ‘baddie effect’ and routine 510 i had on the bar midas whale have been 10000 because i couldn’t get it up like the main character in a cialis ad )

starting to see some gains from benching more, not confident enough to increase my 1 rep max but i did get 240 for 3 reps and 225 is less intimidating these days

backflips getting cleaner, no fails this week

Just my 0.02.:

All that backflipping and hooping is a waste IMO, unless you’re training for America’s Black Ninja Warrior or going to the league.

I can’t touch rim or front or back flip outside of a trampoline but 225 is light weight and I can always get 510 up, my #POWDA midas well be Viagra (and I weigh less than you do).

If you wanna lift jack weights, train like a jack-of-all-trades. If you wanna lift ace weights, train like an ace.

Jah bless.

what’s ace weights ? and why it gotta be just black ninja warrior??

definitely more biased to training athletic/explosive than pure strength or even aesthetics/hypertrophy, running, jumping, hooping, & backflips is the whole point for me, lifting is the side quest. altho i definitely lift more than i do anything else currently; approach lifting seriously in order to get as much as possible from the effort put in, given that it isn’t strictly a goal to ‘just’ be strong and i’m fairly content trading faster progression for slower

Ace weights are weights that are higher than Jack, Queen, and King weights. In fact, the Shuffle Alliance will probably kill me for mentioning that to a non-member.

Naruto n'dem never seemed to worry much about hooping or all that extra stuff that uses up chakra that you seem to also train for. That's why it's Black Ninja Warrior.

 

[checks mcgee]

Man my weight fluctuates like crazy

Was 228 in the summer

Currently 250+

I don’t mind it too too much tho, gonna shred again in a month or so

how often do you weigh yourself? i used to check before & after going to/getting back from the gym but now i only really step on the scale if i notice my composition changing or if clothes are fitting looser/tighter

10 keys? I haven’t gone up or down more than 5 legit pounds since I tank topped up.

ONG from now on you ChexMix McGee.

Reaching like a mug but do you.

In real tea you're no different than ole buddy who's waging a war against eating food for no reason.


Both of y'all would prolly be better off focusing on one thing at a time rather than tryna do everything and being mid at most of them.


If I was your size () I'd be benching and pulling like 1,170 pounds combined on the platform. I'd be willing to bet the reason your numbers ain't higher is because you outchea doing too much.


But again, I'm just a random dude on the internet and you'vealready said your goals ain't to be lifting the whole gym and/or being a master of all tank tops so, do you, breh.

I'm trying to balance out both. while strength training is nice in my line of work, I have to cut down since my endurance is suffering quite a lot especially in my current position as an overworked porter. I'm quiting that position and would file my resignation tonight. I'll be doing more cardio than my weights. also, I'm running out of uniforms to wear as I don't want to spend on new uniforms 2 sizes up.

i’m just saying why can’t i just be in the regular american ninja warrior tho ?

i’m offended by that comparison , i’m not complaining about being perpetually achy or why i’m not gaining/maintaining muscle, or doing conflicting training

i pretty much think i’m where i’m supposed to be a few years into lifting considering i’m not actually on any programming & don’t really push to train to failure, and don’t do much of any accessory stuff, i’m just trying to keep some athleticism, maybe get some legit dunks in

 

[kenb504]

Copped the variety pack. Put them in order from most to least favorite. Yeah Quest is cancelled for me.

(Cookies n Cream is lacking)

I recommend everyone be on some type of programming; those who aren't will either not go to the gym or just eff around to some degree.

I don't advocated training to failure and I don't focus my workouts on accessory work since the majority of gains come from the bar.

They used to call me Skinnybones (like the books) growing up.

Now they say "excuse me for interrupting" or "sorry for bothering you" and call me Big Guy

, or Sir

, or Top Master

.

And those fat ****s that called me skinny are still morbidly obese or in the grave.

according to Trump's "claimed" weight, I'm morbidly obese since I'm heavier than him.

nah, no problem with black warrior status just an observation

i would agree to some extent about the lack programming ≈ just messing around

I have put a lot of miles on my bicycle recently.

Riding outside in the fresh air really opens up my lungs.

***sidenote

The city of San Antonio is dirty. When I ride my bike in the street along the curb with my head down... all I see are plastic cups, junk food wrappers, and all other types of trash. I have not really "wandered" out of my neighborhood since the pandemic. It seems like certain neighborhoods are clean... but the path to and from them seem like dumping grounds. What I saw made me feel bad for ever littering. We gotta do better.

And it’s full of fat people.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

so ****ing true. tired of these incel nerds trying to tell me how to optimize hypertrophy when they haven’t even been lifting for 5 years

 

[combo gd]

And it’s full of fat people.

I am very hard on myself in reference to my fitness.
Respectfully... when I go outside and judge the health of others in comparison to mine... I feel better.
It is my hope that those overweight people... find the strength in themselves... to at least try to do better.
