At the gym at 7:00am rn and it's light traffic

Tried Romanian deadlifts after dropping out to 195lbs

I finished 205lbs with relative ease. Need to keep my hip higher though to activate the hamstrings

This man putting in work

Tbh I'm in the gym early because I have a date today

Gym before hoes. Now I have to catch up on eating.
Also my curls are low as f*** 57.5lbs....

Reckon I could completely swap out DL's with RDL's if I'm already getting quad activation with front squats?

rest day, did deadlifts and squats on monday and tuesday legs are shattered

I’m so weak with my curls, doing 60 lb barbell and I’m struggling to reach 6 reps

Yes, my program has Romanian deadlift and front squat same day.

The program is fierce 5 novice routine

form and quality of reps >> weight

i’m always most sore and make more progress when i focus on my form and lower my weight

On the real I’ve noticed that if I don’t work out my lungs don’t feel as strong. I’ve had asthma all my life and it pretty much completely subsided once I got involved with sports at like 12 or 13

Quarantine came around and wasn’t working out consistently for a few months, then boom, asthma comes right back. Now I’m back on my grind doing home workouts and lungs feel strong again

It’s like I need this s*** to live at this point

Gyms about to close again

reached 154lbs again but still ripped af. I'll keep bulking for a month and a half finishing my current cycle and I'll try to lean out to sub 10%. by summer.

amount of food I have to eat these days is unholy and it's not even that much I really can't wait for the cut.

yes

for your cut?

worst mistake you could make is to switch to a different programme. keep doing exactly the same thing you've been doing before. keep the same or increase the intensity. exhaust yourself and fight for every inch of muscle and strength that you can keep.

a lot of people decrease the intensity when cutting and end up losing more muscle than fat and a significant decrease in strength

how much cardio you think is necessary to do per week if you want to cut

honestly it depends on your physiology

I don't have to do any cardio and losing weight would still be the easiest thing to me. It depends on each person's metabolism efficiency and their diet habits. If you're the kind to like eating a lot, then doing cardio 4-5 times a week is a good measure.

If someone's metabolism is really slow and hitting caloric deficit is tough, cardio is definitely a thing to incorporate.

But all in all, to cut weight and fat, NO CARDIO is necessary. But, cardio/conditioning are ought to be done for their own benefit regardless of cutting tbh.

true i usually try to do throw it in there at least 2x a week also i do alot of conditioning when i do ab work outs with shorter rest

yeah def. cardio/conditioning if done correctly will increase your work capacity at the gym and vice versa. if there's no conditioning/cardio in someone's routine, they'll be outta breath after barely one set done.

walking is easiest and most suitable form of conditioning for everyone. not every one can run from the get go and walking provides as much benefits.

alternatively, for people who have a bit of running in them, outdoor runs or sprints are the dopest imo.

i workout from home due to the virus i have a bike i do at home to

I've been struggling so much without the gym. My mood is always dropping. My motivation drifts. I don't wanna do bodyweight workouts that take me 2 hours to get anything out of. I don't have money for equipment. I mean when they reopen I'll be straight in but I really don't know how long that's gonna be

well 1st thing start motivating yourself in everything not just working out also there is good no weights body workouts on YouTube

flyknits tore my Achilles up man

athlean x has some great bodyweight routines. Also bodyweight routines don't take 2 hours. Also try some youtube pilates full body workouts, they're not easy at all

Athlean x being mentioned a little too much itt that nighas a fraud who uses fake weights

Benching 2-3 times a week + weighted push ups really helping my bench . 235 for an easy 7 . 3 plate bench for one by March here we come
