Why have you not been keeping up with your gym attendance? Do you drink beer

Depression. It got to me for the longest time. A lot of things happened in 3 years.

I never attended an actual gym just home 🏠 workouts. I was in USMC Bootcamp before everything else went bad.

Yeah, I started drinking heavy. Beer & Liquor.

I just can’t catch my wind, but I’m ready to catch it now.

Think I messed up my elbow again. Jeez man. 245 incline bench for 8 again suicide grip with ease. I wonder what I could max at. I feel like I could hit a hood amount. I legit never went up in weight for a lot of these lifts for like 5 years lmao

Haven’t squatted in months and my hamstrings are killing when squatting, why is this happening

my heartrate has to be in zone 3-4 for a prolonged period of time to get maximum benefits imo (45 mins-1 hour), so I'm mindful of my heartrate for sure

low intensity cardio is fine on rest days but I feel like if your heart rate isn't elevated enough when you're doing cardio you won't be maximising the benefits imo

also if you get food at the physically taxing forms of cardio (rowing, air bike) anything else feels like a breeze.

Fried my elbow again smh

foam roll or use a tennis ball to to get rid of the knots maybe or imo or get a massage done an tell them to work on your elbow area an also stretch out your hands an for arm before an after working out

hit a PR today hit 4 plate 10 pound dead lift iam so happy with my progress

Starting to increase my weight I been doing recently, I am really starting to notice changes in my body

new beach house music and new PR for overhead press literally experienced transcendence

I LOVE WORKING OUT!!!! THIS IS WHAT OUR BODIES ARE MEANT TO BE DOING!!

post workout cold showers are a no-no for me rn

them b****es hit harder than cardio at this time of the year

guess I'll have to stretch my doms off

They are awful but they make you feel amazing once you get out

I take meds tho so I dont wanna put stress on my heart

that's why strength training is the perfect workout for me

What is everyone 1 rep max on bench

never tried it to be honest

if I cant go for 5+ reps with a certain amount of weight then it's not a good indicator of what I can do

aint been to the gym in years, gonna start in 2 weeks with a friend, im not gonna be able to do pull ups

skipping rope & some light calisthenics to start

starting all over for pullups tho

I'd need to have someone there with me if i'd go for 1 rep max just for safety reasons

my father could do 90 degree angle pullups with one hand in his f***ing 50s

i was into engineering and going to germany and back

back n forth so i stopped doin any meaningful gym exercises like this just got caught up and I only played basketball to keep up on conditioning, now im kinda settled down so its the right time to get back on this stuff

but yeah man i know for a fact its gonna be pullups from scratch cause I must've added like 15-20lbs over these 2 years

it's nice you got the chance to chill a bit (even if it was work related). You're taking care of yourself on all levels and that's great.

now, those extra pounds might seem a lot but dont be discouraged, a lot of people work day in day out for a chance to put on some weight and bulk up....see it as an opportunity, not a setback
