    @Valentine can u think of an old trend/method everyone swore by on the forum back then that's dated or abandoned today?

  • Tiigre

    for sure.
    the fact that kids even say "cortisol spike" as a punchline nowadays even has me like oh damn i didnt even know what cortisol was back then 💀

    Me and the homie used to lift for like 2-3 hours, go eat burgers, get ice cream from Dairy Queen, take a nap, then spend the rest of the time outside doing cardio, watching UFC, throwing the football or shadow boxing

    we look better than 99% of people in the gym

    why I don’t trust any of this s*** outside of: lift heavy weight

    probably the 2-3 hour lifts to get all your work in lmfaoooo and definitely creatine. that was like the MAJOR buzzword

    you can break that down into shorter sessions and get the same results and just eat real food and drink water

  • creatine back in my uni days was scary. it was sort of a big deal if i found out my friend was taking it for gym

    now with more research its so normalized and encouraged i find that pretty cool.

    I think cause there was a famous death incident back then when someone severely misused it , might be wrong tho

  • nvm actually that death mightve been from hydroxicut!

    "in 2009, the U.S. Food and D*** Administration (FDA) issued a warning and forced a major recall of 14 Hydroxycut weight-loss supplements after they were linked to 23 cases of severe liver damage, liver transplants, and one confirmed death due to liver failure."

    oh yea @eltigre PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD is all nigga knew

    I’m talking 10 x 10 on just about every single workout starting at the lightest weight and using set 7-10 as your working sets. that’s why the sessions were taking 2-3 hours lmaoo but goddamn we’re niggas fit as f***. I could do all that and go outside and run 2-3 miles no problem

    There’s so much about this fitness s*** people don’t understand still until this day. Do what works for you

    it was either that or strong lifts

    remember we used to roast the strong lifters cause some of our homies would come to the gym for literally like 30 minutes to strong lift. little did I know this is just another method to the madness you can utilize alongside your own routine to simply get stronger. part of why I love this fitness s*** cause it’s so many new lifters who are swole who don’t know s***

    back to intermittent fasting cause I gotta lose this depression tummy (fast food binging) I gained

    forgot how good this feels tbh, I got hydration salt powder that doesn break the fast too (and a nice cold brew to suppress appetite)

    You've had the same fast food binge for 5 years 🫪

    they come in waves
    this bender was longer than most cause first half of this year was truly a lot to handle

    the smashed burger restaurant should give me a lifetime discount from how much i ordered
