    Started earnestly doing 10 minute walks after meals and in 4 days I'm noticeably more hungry, more quickly than I used to be

    In love with seal rows. Wanna develop upper back more but pull-ups and lat pulls put too much stress on armpit area and bicep for me at times. 1 arm rows are ok but don’t like doing double the reps(plus a bit of bicep strain) and pendlay rows are too much lower back for me

    Seal rows are just perfect for upper back. Bought a couple pieces of wood and put between 2 plyo boxes

    That’s a solid pace for 15 minutes.

    Check out menu and workout options for different intervals or workouts, can set your own too

    Minute on/minute off is my favorite. You should easily be able to do like 10 intervals of 250m per minute, shoot for like 20 cals a minute after that. Will kick your ass but you also get to do nothing half the time

    I’m kinda disturbed by these people striving for 500 pound squats for over 20 reps(Joe Sullivan and some others). What is the purpose to this

    My cardio is good but pretty sure I’d blackout if I did 225 for 20 reps

    Tons of assault bike work, pre fatigue stuff, blood flow restriction, etc. it’s just as much alactic work as it is strength.

    I despise running and I bought a Concept2 with this threads help at the beginning of Covid. I typically just do a 30 min row and get between 6000-6400m. I probably need to mix this up, but can say I still really enjoy rowing.

    Just do something. Go move. Doesn’t have to be a structured program. Just go walk, go ride the bike/rower. Go do curls. Hell go try to do at least 1 set of your program. Even if it’s not the full day just go move. Then try again the next day. And the next day. Shit will start to snowball and you’ll be back in. Don’t place huge expectations on yourself. Just go do SOMETHING.

    strength doesn’t go away that quickly. It takes years to build muscle/strength. It doesn’t disappear in a week or two

    I’ve been using a habit tracker to keep me on point. I found checking it off the list has forced me mentally to make sure I do it and the other things I’ve put into my consumption goals for this year.

    You might need a few baby steps first but I know if I don’t workout before lunchtime, there’s a high probability that I won’t do it. The sooner I work it into my daily schedule, the better.


    It’s all about getting set in the habit.

    Yea, my routine just got all messed up. I moved office locations, have had a bunch of home renovation stuff going on, lost my legal assistant (and work has been picking up at the same time making it more overwhelming)...so it's just the perfect storm. I also kind of wanted to take a break after I finished my half marathon a few weeks back because I was just exhausted.

    I'll get back on the horse. Today will need to be day 1 of something.

    I go to the gym every single day, even if it’s just to stand on the scale and walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes. If I skip a day, there is like a 50% chance I don’t go for another week.

    Not sure how I feel about this bar. Cool idea but not sure that many different grip widths are that necessary and a high price. Have a multi-grip bar and have never thought that I needed 18 more possible widths

    When your tummy isn't right squat day just feels way more intense.. I really need to push some boundaries with this concept. I think I'd be able to squat 7 plates just by the fear alone my asshole is about to piss out chocolate milk like a dam sprouted a leak. Think of the positives next time you eat questionable chicken.

    So I’ve always done over under grip when deadlifting heavy because I have small baby hands. Recently I switched to straps and these things are rope burning the shit out of my wrists. Anyone have any recommendations?

    edit: recommendations for straps

    Illinihockey grip strength can be a good problem to have: you’re pulling substantial enough weight to hit a limitation.

    Hook grip doesn’t require Tony Robbins banana hands, it’s just a mechanism to get more security on the bar. Straps can be a good solution to maxing your lifts, maybe look into options that have more padding.

    While you’re looking for a solution to keep deadlifting, try to address the problem at hand (hand… get it?) and strengthen that grip.

    I can hold 400+ with over under grip but I’ve always heard that can be bad for you. Double overhand and I start straining at 225. My legs way out power my hands

    Takes a few times of roughing them up, but these are the only straps you’ll ever need

    It’s not bad for you. Any muscular imbalances will be extremely small, if at all. If that’s a concern just switch with hand is over and which hand is under every so often

    We didn’t discuss but Jesus Olivares went
    992lb squat
    567lb bench
    887lb deadlift
    2,447lb total

    at PA Nationals the new IPF affiliate. 9th highest total all time and he did it in sleeves, natural, and at 23 years old. Insane.

    I think that plays a part but probably a smaller part. I’d bet longer term more toxic drugs that are used along anabolics are what’s doing them in: clenbuterol, aromatase inhibitors, etc that are more toxic to the body. Mix in being that big for that long definitely
    Causes strain on the heart. Who knows if they kept check on their blood pressure, RHR, etc to keep the heart in check.
