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

[sole searchin]

Seems like international chest day turned into NT leg day. Fine by me.

By far my favorite traditional gym I've been to in Houston. Not too nice like lifetime. Supply you chalk, belts, chains, and kettle bells up to 85lbs.

this. Highly recommend an inzer. you wont regret it. lifetime warranty. the exact one bigboss posted is the one i have and i LOVE it. Never had any issues with mine.

10mm vs 13mm? I hear people say 13mm on some Alpha vs 10 mm = beta, but idk. and do you have prong or lever? I hear leaver is much easier.

Inzer takes forever to ship I hear, do they charge you right away or when it ships? bestbelts.net doesnt have lever belts.

I just called inzer they dont do custom sizing like bestbelts.com does I think I`ll just get a large (sz 34-3

I doubt I get under a size 34 waist while cutting (currently a 36) but then again who knows.

what would you guys do?

I have the 10mm lever. My boy has the 13 and it's way too thick IMO the 10 is plenty thick. He just ordered a red 10mm lever so I guess he didn't like the 13 either. I wear 34 in jeans and I got a large. No issues.



FYI belt is going to be ridiculously thick and stiff at first. I broke mine in by rolling it and stuffing it in my bag+lots of use. It's nice being able to just pull the lever and the belt pops off easily after a heavy set of lifting.

lol I think I need to see a doctor in the last 5 min my back has gone crazy

 

[jecca650]

Some dude at my work who lifts recently found out he has a herniated disk from doing incorrect deadlifts. Smh I told him he was doing the mcdonalds arch while deadlifting but he didn't want listen. He got his horrible deadlift form from a crossfit class.


always emphasize correct form before anything. Smh.

Man I can't just not go to the gym at all LOLOLOL

Gonna spend 100 bucks on a lifting belt, hate to do it but I need one and best belts belts are suppose to be the top out there

If you must go to the gym for happiness reasons (I know the feeling). Go and just do mobility work for a half hour. You'll feel like you got something done, but you won't be hurting yourself further.

Another way to look at it is to treat it as an exercise in self-discipline. Generally, we think of self-discipline as the motivation to get to the gym 4 times a week, get our lifts in, not eat those donuts at work, or squeeze in the second serving of brotein with dinner. However, self-discipline is equally as important in terms of getting the necessary amount of rest to recover and to heal injuries like this. A true alpha has the self-discipline to rest when rest is necessary.

That's pretty dope. View from the gym looks nice too.

[jecca650]

Rounding on the squat like a butt wink at the bottom? Or rounding like a good morning coming up?

Adrenaline can get in the way of you initially feeling the pain.

If you're having trouble lifting with proper form, drop down the weight. I know you don't want to hear it, but you're probably not suited to be lifting as heavy as you can.

Lifting isn't only about completing a certain amount of reps with a certain weight; it's about doing those reps with proper form so that you avoid injury.

I think my legs are way stronger than my lower back so a mix if that and form screwed me up, I'm gonna call out of work tomorrow and hit up the chiropractor

The issue is your core. I had this same issue when squatting heavy. I knew I could go heavier but there was alot of pressure on my back. Once I started working on my core, it made a **** load of a difference.

Always down to strengthen the core since it's something everyone can work on and affects you everyday in and out the gym.

What are some good core exercises?

 

[bwood056]

Just crushed legs...


Leg press: 9 plates each side 5x5 (pre exhaust)

Back squat barbell: 335lb boxed 4x8 pause 1sec

Front squat barbell: 245lb boxed bellow parallel 5x3

RDLS: 225lb @ two sets of 8. 275lb @ two sets of 5

Leg extensions: full rack ran to last pin burnout

Leg curls on hammer strength: four 25lb plates on each side drop set to one 25lb plate.

Walking 50 yard lunges with PVC (bamboo) kettle bells on each side for 4 sets totaling 200yards.

Fin.

Legs started to seize upon me during extensions man lol

I'm sure that's what it is because I never do any core workouts ..

Whats funny is im money with DL, squats have always been my issue. Did you still workout while hurt or what? I cant sit out a week man. I`ll just ignore my legs all together and once it feels better do leg press and stuff until I buy a belt later.

I forget what all I did last time this happened, i dont remember if I just didnt go to the gym or what.

Now I`m depressed brahs, brb sending my girl to go pick me up some chick fil a
