The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

At least you are recognizing youre making excuses and are actively changing it.

 

Off topic.

I know people make fun of guys who use gloves but fuck. Sometimes they’re nice. Hands were hurting pretty bad doing shrugs today. Gloves on and worlds better lol

 

Leave. Now.

Y’all both probably bench 185 and work in an office

 

I think @Kerleyfries can bench 190. But he definitely can squat and deadlift more than you.

But srs, gloves? Why do you want to have smooth hands? If your hands are your weak point, work them more...

 

I thought we had ran all the ladies out of this thread.

 

Cause when you use an impact or hammer or weld all day for work... your hands are already rough and hurt. Ever try to swing a sledge and your hands literally won’t let you grip it anymore? It sucks. Bad.

The gloves in the gym really do help at times.

 

To y’all lol

 

Holy shit. Crooked finger lol

 

Yes admitting my short comings was first step

 

With big burly man paws like that, a sleek barbell shouldn’t hurt ya

 

They get sore. Arthritis and carpal tunnels and whatever else there is lol

 

Hey y'all just a reminder someone needs to hear; I've been working out religiously 4 years now and my raw total went from like 700lb to now around 1300 natty. It's a fight and there are ups and downs and I have had some shitty workouts this week (low energy, not feeling it), but remember:

1) A lower energy workout is still way better than no workout
2) If you've ever had an AMAZING workout session, you know they can come from out of nowhere, and everyday can be one of those days so that's exciting

Diet goes up and down, pounds come and go, but above all else, BE CONSISTENT with your workouts. Everything else falls in line including getting your body where you want it.

Also, if you are picturing your body where you want it in terms of muscle and physique and you aren't thinking in the long term (at least a year), you'll get unmotivated and give up before the gains really start.

 

Idk what my deadlift is rn. I haven’t done anything heavy since December bc torn labrum. I know I can bench like 205rn though. Probably still pull in the high 3’s. My squat still strong though. Low 3’s.

I really need to have the surgery, but I think I’m gonna wait until fall/winter and I’m done wrenching on the truck for a while.

 

Just do it. I'm 8 days removed and right as rain

 

I don’t even lift and work in an office.

 

Yea.... shoulder is a lot worse than hip from what I understand.

 

How's that? You can't walk with a busted hip. I've seen guys with no arms walking...and squatting more than you

 

The recovery process you phuk. I’m also just going off what I’ve been told.
