The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

So last night I was finishing up at the gym and this kid who has started competing in shows and shit thinks he's the man. Brings out his cooler bag and heats up Tupperware full of chicken and rice and proceeds to walk around the gym eating next to the machines. Seriously watched him eat his bro food for like 20 minutes while I was on the treadmill.

I guess that's just #dedication and #mealtiming

 

Won't even lie have been out on the road before and had to eat my pre workout meal at the gym and just talk with the trainers while I did it.

 

Yea I mean I get it, was just weird seeing this dude spot his friend on bench then go back to scarfing down food and dropping grains of rice all over the floor.

Go eat at the juice bar or whatever

 

We looked into that, but we'd be in the same boat. Either we turn our phones into hotspots and use our data or we buy a whole new data plan just for the hotspot box. It's cheaper to just use our phones. All the box does is convert cell service into wifi (I think), which most newer phones can do anyway.

I smell the ingredients for a threesome

Sounds like a real cool dude

 

Legs right now for me as well. After working 12 hour days in DC this pat week my gym time suffered pretty bad.

 

My old gym partner joined me today. He works out at like 5am now, so we haven't lifted together in like a year. He said he only did legs like once a month, so I know his ass is gonna be sore tomorrow....no pun intended He was bitching about the squats and deadlifts, so we didn't really do much in that department

front squats: 135x10, 185x8
Romanian deadlifts: 135x20, 185x15
seated leg extensions: 3 sets of 10-20
lying leg curls: 3 sets of 10-20
calves

also did some serratus pullovers. I'm gonna start incorporating those into my ab exercises after I do legs and calves. I skipped abs today b/c I did straight arm rope lat-pulldowns Thurs and my abs are sore as hell from it. That's a damn good ab exercise!

Serratus pullovers:

 

Also modified the diet to make it a little higher in fat and lower in carbs:

This is 2600 cals, 219 g protein, 255 g carbs, 88 g fat

9 tbsp egg whites
lucky charms w/ 1 cup of skim milk
banana
fiber bar

93/7 ground turkey burger w/ mustard (no bread)
peanuts

tortilla w/ 3 slices ham, .5 tbsp mayo
1 cup strawberry banana V8

pwo shake: 2 scoops ON, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 lime, 2 cups baby spinach, 4 tbsp. peanut butter, 1 cup blueberries

5.2 oz chicken tenders
1 tbsp ranch
Baked Lays

Greek yogurt
1 scoop ON

Micros be important, too: 31 g fiber, 363 mg cholesterol, 3262 mg sodium, 3325 mg potassium, +735% Vitamin A, +263% Vitamin C, +66% Calcium, & +20% iron......with no multivitamin bullshit

 

No gym for me tonight. Work until 5:30 then home to change out both front axles. I was going to go this morning but slept through my alarm.

 

I like doing those pullovers on chest days

 

Yea i do those pullovers for my chest....

 

I mix it up and do them on either chest or back day. Never thought of them as an ab exercise

I've seen what passes as an ab for @zacharypaul89 though

 

Those pull overs i do at the start of my chest session ensuring that i DO NOT activate much of my lats and Serratus. I call it the ratchet, where i lay flat on the bench and start with my arms pushed down as low as they go with the weight in front/ on top at the peak of the position. Then let it go back in 10 Degree increments rachetting back and forth to the previous point maintaining a full contractions. MR Green does them and goes into full details on why.

Im busy cooking what looks to be a pretty damn deadly chilli right now. Lean ground turkey, Chopped fine chunks of lean stewing meat, Pork loin chopped into small chunks as well, beans, lentils, Chillis etc.

It works out to be under 90 Calories per 100g with 9grams protein, 5g carb, 3.3g fat.
Ill see what a cup weighs in @ for ease of serving

 

Not to stir the pot...but where's your leg workout? What you listed looks like a great warm up! A big, young, buff bronco like yourself should be hitting it a lil harder..

 

He said his workout partner hadn't done legs in a month so he took it easy on him

 

Too easy...

 

Just messing around! On a different note, what happened to the old man that was posting a pic of himself pulling his stone washed jeans down to his bladder? While shirtless..

 

Had a buddy video me doing bent over rows this morning to make sure that I wasn't moving too much or anything weird and I started mirin' myself. I've never been anywhere near this size and it's blowing my mind. Just shows me why we all do this. Pic bc vascularity and gainzzz

On another note, what do most of y'all row weight wise?

 

I think @LVTheMadness11 scared him away.
Or added him in snapchat so he got what he wanted and stays out of here now...
