been regaining strength quick since ive been back at the gym. ik the first 6 weeks usually give good progress, but im still surprised.

crazy how much good diet + protein intake can do.

hittin 3 sets of 185 for 10 again on incline. hope to do 225 by august

you must have serious $$ ozempic is not cheap

i do it about 3x a day now mined you i am diabetic type 1

ya after leg day you feel like super sayin because that is where your strength comes from

lol no I’m not on ozempic

you could get that s*** even sooner than August dawg, but good job on getting back to it

They say squats/deadlifts naturally boost testosterone

just benched 205 for the first time

i just hit 185 last week on regular bench you can def hit 225 in like a month

yeah i think i will but just in case ill just assume august.

f***ed my shoulder in jiu jitsu and i can't do any pressing at all couldn't even get the 50's up for my 2nd warm up set

i can still hit rows, legs and accessories, which is better than nothing i guess

massage therapy will help you should go and ice it 3x15-20 mins

First try at Axel press today :

did not sleep to well last night so i could not lift as much at the gym still went and lifted good amount of weight usually i eat breakfast then something else on heavy lift days because i know that will last me when i do cardio too and tons of water i drink the most water like a gallon you can say on deadlift back dAY

What’s that

First run outside in a year. Forgot what this felt like

Axel’s the name of his new bear

interesting

Lost 40lbs just 15 more to go. Been getting swept with more compliments and necks swinging my way recently. It truly is worth it

Let’s f***ing go m8

this meso was a complete failure, i f***ed up my shoulder so bad that it still hurts to rotate and on top of it i feel completely unmotivated to go. folded by week five. got my weight up but not going for a week and im entirely deflated muscle wise which is sad and scary. either not getting enough rest/sleep or the program is just too dumb. i might take it easy for the next few month just light weight more reps s*** til like july

people suffer from isolationist culture at gyms where theres no accountability nor any sort of cooperation between people on the floor, employees, and their environment. very few gyms run straight on culture and those are largely non-commercial and its difficult to get there

gym must be a communal space where theres a head honcho running s*** making sure everyone stays safe and performs their exercises correctly, whether they paid for consultation or not

people think its an ego thing when it really isnt and while its hard to build that trust it better be a necessity. the amount of people just flat out doing s*** wrong without realizing long term damage under the guise of 'its their business' is alarming
