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

[kenb504]

Current physique. Down 15 lbs in 6 weeks. Sitting around 195 right now. Goal is to try and hopefully get to that 10% bf that eluded me last time. Hoping another 6-8 lbs will get me there. Then it’s time to get big big hopefully

Looking good fam!

Wish I had the mental strength to go through another bulk but once my abs disappear I’ll enter a deep depression

She ain't cheating her rom though which made it impressive. Unlike some skinny malnourished chicks .

I can only do so much with my abs. Can't do much since I have a history of abdominal surgery. Feels like it's tearing up everytime I target that area. Too bad.

Appreciate you bro! Hahaha yea it takes a little while getting used to getting a little fluffy but it’s worth it trust me. Mine were still visible but just not as sharp as they were during peak cut.

Henry Cavill, is that you?

Too bad they fired me

Tank Top Master you liking my deadlift fit?

[Brownstone]

Nothing as motivating as single life fellas, got out of a relationship recently and have always hit the gym, but the ability to go all in, go more often and obviously the incentive of finding new snatch are unbeatable.

 

[deusavertat]

Day 6 of training. I've been feeling progressively out of shape but no injuries.

As soon as I walk out of my Planet Fitness the smell of Popeyes hits me in the face. Its right across the street.

For real for real. My gym got an in & out next door and the onion/meat aroma is sexy

All these gyms located near fast food joints pleases your Tank Top Master .

Think of all the weak-willed cretins that will fall to their saturated fat fetish instead of paying The Iron Price.

If your "gym" was actually a Pizza Planet Fitness you already know it was a wrap.

i always wonder how related this is, like do gym conglomerates take this into consideration? or is it just that there are that many fast food joints that it is unavoidable??

does planet fitness really have pizza in there? where does the pizza come from, do they have kitchen in the back??

Idk if they do but my dream is to own my own gym and I will use that gym money to open up a fast food spot right by it.


Hell, I might even try to get like a Panera Bread () across the street so I can increase traffic and get the folks "trying to be good" too.

They used to have designated days where they gave away bagels in the morning and had pizza nights in a separate evening. (It was chain pizza, not homemade ish.)

I haven't set foot in a PF since I started lifting-lifting and became a Sage but I've heard some spots stopped this during covid.

How you gonna workout at a gym withoutfree weights and think you deserve pizza and/or bagels?

i’ve read that both the gym & restaurant businesses are amongst the most challenging/hardest to profit in so you’d be doubling the exposure to risk altho i suppose you could insulate both businesses by pumping in food smells from the restaurant into the gym & simultaneously offer membership plans in the restaurant …

while not same thing, of these new super influencer gyms, they do seem to see the value integrating into being a one stop shop for everything, ostensibly in order to keep folk around/in the gym longer/more often w/food, meal prep, merch, grooming, media services…

Leg day got me all types of messed up . I wish I carried more fat in my legs than my upper body

Calves are still small as hell no matter what I do

how & how often do you train your calves for hypertrophy/size?

 

[deusavertat]

Need to get back to lifting Monday. Got open mat tomorrow to finish up a solid week of training.

 

[Maserati Fox]

how & how often do you train your calves for hypertrophy/size?

I try to hit them three times a week but I usually hit them twice a week. I find that it’s a good warm up for my squat pattern so I start my leg days with them. I’ll usually do like 3-4 sets. For the first two I’ll go a little heavier in the 6-8 rep range and then I’ll do back offs for like 8-12. I really focus on the stretched position and try to get full range of motion too. I do both straight leg and bent knee for the gastroc and soleus respectively. My calves were honestly bigger when I used to play ball :/

that’s a good amount especially with both variations…never had much of desire to necessary grow any particular muscle, but my understanding for some muscles higher rep ranges & more frequency might be necessary…which maybe lines up why when you were doing other activity there was more size?

High insertion gang

I hope you got a 4.40 40yd or a 40" vert to compensate

Yea I never cared much about my calves till I saw a recording of myself in shorts…it looked like I skip leg day . That makes more sense, I used to play like 4-5x a week.

Mannn I wish, my hops are non existent these days
