The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I’m tryingggg. I’ll see if I can find a closer one to sign up for. Just kinda sucks cause I used to be lean but then got kinda fat and now I just mentally feel like I’m wasting weight for competing. Like I could drop fat and add muscle for the weight class but whatevs. I’m slowly getting back on track and into it all.

 

@weldertaco at his first Strongman comp

 

LMFAOOOO

 

But you're lightweight either way.... As long as you're under 231

 

Shit that’s easy. Even when I was fat fat I was 220. Ain’t ever got near 230

 

Exactly... That's what I'm saying lol with your corgi frame you can compete LW all day and never worry about having to hit the fat boi weights.

 

Fuck it then. I’ll just dive in and compete with the real ones.

 

That is what sucks for me.... Even I cut to 265 which is super lean for me, I'm still in HW and lifting the same weights as the 300+ guys.... I'd have to cut to 231 to go MW, but that would mean I'd be like .5% body fat lmao not gonna happen.

 

Yasssssss. Just have fun bro. Trust me, it may seem daunting now but come comp day you'll be surprised. Every PR I've hit has been in competition. I always feel like my training is shit but when that adrenaline hits, especially in a competitive class, it takes over and the weights are cake.

 

Deadlift is bad for your back tho









Be well

 

Don’t make bodyweight a big mental deal. You’ll do great.
The shows I’ve been to only have one novice class, 300 to 115lbs dudes all just duking it out at the same weights.

 

Deads and some quads today. All three legs

 

My next bench PR gonna be like

 

You know if you could bend like that you'd never leave the house.

 

Do you have the struggle of buying pants that fit your waist but tight as fuck around the quads so you have to buy bigger sizes just to be comfortable?

 

If only I could bend the other way. It wouldn’t be gay if I do it to myself. Right?

 

Izod comfort stretch jeans, sonnnnnnn.

 

Ima have to check em out

 

Yesh..
carharts are pretty good, getting tight but don’t have to worry about blowing the ass out when I get in or out of the truck or a chair. I’ll have to check out the stretch jeans.

 

Well, jerking off is really just giving a dude a handjob. Just sayin.
