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

[nikexcartoon]

Strong , I've been stuck at 80lb but I'm not worried, any day now ill move forward

Im trying to go up 5lb every workout compared to my previous day of PPL

Today got 210 BB BP for reps, felt GREAT. Can't expect to be moving up like this without hitting a plateau somewhere but id be super pumped getting 230 for reps as it was my previous max at 220 over a year ago

Good stuff brah keep it up. I always make sure to have my gym partner push me when it comes to plateaus. Dude beasted on 120's today like nothing :x

I always struggled with dumbell press on heavy weight cuz I could never fall back properly to get the weight up but its all about those mental barriers you set.

Just got some Melatonin to help me sleep tonight

Vid in link, I couldn't seem to get it to embed.

DTP is no joke. The mental hurdles are almost harder than the physical. Came close to puking after one of the workouts.

If i wasn't getting married in september i probably would.

I just let em cook and let them snatch up another dude.

I know what you mean....I just did the leg day.

It was SERIOUS

I'm gonna combine some of this DTP stuff with my regular routine, I like it.

When I first moved to Dallas I seriously considered joining a gym for the SOLE purpose of meeting dudes.... but I fell back. That woulda been extremely shallow.

Crushed legs last night, surprisingly not as sore as I thought I would be. CrossFit endurance kicking in I guess.

Tried to reevaluate my stance on the Smith machine, sorry, unless you're injured there is no excuse for using that thing.

Rule of thumb is 48 hours?

I would say go by feel, if you feel you can go through a workout without injuring yourself, go for it.

Remember the body is functional, it's used to being worked every day, the notion of 48... forty ******g eight hours... is ridiculous.

You JUST realized the Smith machine was useless and you think you can judge what's ridiculous

 

[stuntman mike]

my baby boy is sick so i'm staying home with him for the next 2 days. no working out. already ate a mountain of korean food (with plenty of white rice) annnnd a pile of ben and jerry's s'mores ice cream. staying home is gonna be bad

Just? I have always said it was useless. Been going to commercial gyms since '98 and have never used the Smith machine. High School gym was bare bones, benches, squat racks, dumbells and barbells. Nothing more, learned that is all you needed. Free weights and proper form.

How does "reevaluate" translate to "just realized"?

my fault I read that wrong. Too quick on the trigger. Nothing to see here.

Had a good workout this afternoon. Headed back tonight to do straight cardio. Itching for some McDonald's, though. Help

Question:

- Since I'm doing fat loss does me taking creatine actually do anything?

- Since I'm doing fat loss, would adding whey and/or a preworkout be a good idea? Considering both.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Creatine will not help you lose additional weight. It will help with high intensity workouts and recovery. It gives your muscle fibers a boost, so it takes them longer to fatigue/failure. There are tons of other benefits, feel free to do research.

Adding whey protein is a good post workout for me personally, it's quick, and since I usually don't work out at night it's better than eating a meal before bed. You can get protein from food sources, but it can get difficult and tedious, whey protein shakes are convenient and an effective meal replacement. Especially if you are in the 5-8 meal a day boat.

Both are not magic potions, they aid in increasing performance, they don't perform miracles.

Appreciate that bro. Looking up some good whey protiens/pre workouts before I head to the gym.

That must have been brutal

I didn't have much to do today. I did DTP legs in the morning, killed my legs. Then I did DTP arms late afternoon. I am officially dead
