Was about time I checked this thread apparently. Interesting life goals Ricky.

By Facism Go To Postfoam roller has been great. Loosened me up proper. dat positive pain

great, amazon said mine will be delivered Friday. My inner thighs/groins are so tight right now

I went for a high density roller. My gym only has the standard ones and those fuckers deform easily under the majesty of my hams.

just checked and mine is high denisty to, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccck, Just saw that UPS has delayed my package by 1-2 days so means I won't get it till Monday. Fuck them and the extra money I spent to get it by Friday :((

shiiiiet.

I had the opposite experience. Mine was supposed to arrive within 5-7 business days from order because i went with the peasant delivery option, but turned up the next day lol. They sent it registered and i had to sign for it

gonna get some sprints in on the track. time to pull that hammy.

By Trey Go To PostNice. What's your target weight loss?

10 more. At least.

loooool i know that feel. I tried to play football last week after resting the knee and feeling the best i have for some months.

20 minutes into the game BYOOOOING hyper-extension knee am fucked total. Couldn't even fucking get in my car. It's been a week and i've done fuck-all cardio :( I fucking hate not being able to run. Gotta keep disciplined and not aggravate it whilst i recover.

Does anyone box? (Apart from DY getting beat up at that Thai place ;) )

Really interested in trying it but there's no where in my town. Wondering how hard it'll be to learn some basics by myself/with a gym buddy.

Shadow boxing is good cardio too.

By dark_prinny Go To Post10 more. At least.

You got this, man. Update us on your progress.

By Facism Go To PostIt's been a week and i've done fuck-all cardio :( I fucking hate not being able to run. Gotta keep disciplined and not aggravate it whilst i recover.

That's the worst part right there. The inactivity. It just gnaws on you until you fuck around and try to run again, only to hurt yourself more.

For boxing, you won't need a legit gym as much as you need someone to know what they're doing. It's REALLY easy to hyper extend an elbow or jam/break a finger fucking around.

So bumper plates are so good. Fucking 24 and their hexagonal bullshit. Deadlifting felt so right with bumper plates yesterday. Was so great knowing they would drop in the same spot after every pull and I didn't have to reset my starting position every rep like I used to with hex plates.

Might chance the elliptical but that shit is as boring as trying to fuck with a soft dick.

Damn, that's basically what I was afraid off. There's a guy at my gym that used to teach kick boxing, might ask him for some pointers. Or just wait till I'm back to Uni in September altogether

Doing a 5k run this weekend, wish me luck!

good luck, vire! I expect 25 minute finish time.

good luck man, you're better than me #2milesorbust

If nothing else, he can point you in the right direction.

A hyper extended elbow is no joke. You can end up with permanent damage REAL quick too.

By Facism Go To Postgood luck, vire! I expect 25 minute finish time.

By DY_nasty Go To Postgood luck man, you're better than me #2milesorbust

Thanks, I did 23 and 1/2 on the last one I did so I'm hoping for slightly better, but it's all good. I'm just happy to be out there.

I need to get my hype music playlist in order though... as much as I'm loving Summertime 06' I don't think that's the right vibe hah.

How did it go Vire? Well I hope.

Going hard core on the diet for the next 6 weeks before I go back to Uni. Going to switch to the gym there when I'm back, much more equipment and I can swim there too.

Up early for HIIT work, ugh

I hit a big milestone in my weight loss today. I'm still a fat bastard and not eating 100% clean, but losing at this weight is easier. Will have to crack on and be more strict soon.

Congrats.

I am really disappointed with myself that my weight has been constant for the last month and a half.

I am still running a lot, but my diet has been poor.

Decided to write my goals for the month on some Post Its and stick them on my wall.

Cooked up a big stew yesterday that I plan to eat for lunch this week. No more snacking at lunch. It is also the best way for me to get vegetables into my diet.

I'm getting to the point where I can bang out iron mikes for a full 100 meters. Props

Still uncomfortable around anything upper-body related. Scust

Really need to get over that.

Buying a skipping rope for home was the best thing I've ever done.

Your ankles and calves will thank you.

I need to get back on flies and pull ups but the barrier between struggle and effective workout is so thick smh

If you slack on pull ups for any length of time the effort of building them back up is daunting

brother hit me with a cross over the other day that had me looking through my future and past at the same time like interstellar

my quickness just isn't what it used to be before I started lifting heavy a couple of years back--and I don't even know how to take it because i've never not been the quickest guy on the court wherever I went

By Mangoverboard Go To PostIf you slack on pull ups for any length of time the effort of building them back up is daunting

I need to do assisted pull ups but GOD i feel like such a chump for even considering the idea

lmao

but yeah... its a brand new world not being stupid fast. I'm still pretty quick, but not so much off my feet and in the air. that's the real killer. you see people going up for layups like three years ago that shit would be in the stands but aite

Did some BJJ earlier which takes it out of you. Doing MMA striking/kickboxing tomorrow.

I keep forgetting to include the skipping rope into my cardio.

Double post.

By DY_nasty Go To Postyou see people going up for layups like three years ago that shit would be in the stands but aite

the worst part of being washed right here, when you mentally summon visions of your prime self as you're playing the game. It's like when you get to that part of the movie you don't like and you imagine it going a different way - a better way - but you know it only go the other way.

FUCK core strength ;_;

mannnnnn you don't know the half of it. its even worse when you realize how much smarter you are as a player once you've lost some explosion/speed. i'm over here cutting people off, USING screens not just waving them off, etc

i was uncoachable as fuck lol

amazing lol

I've lost three more kilos in the past week. From 89 to 83 in two weeks, happy as fuck.

congrats bro!


I'm currently spiraling into exaggerated depression because I haven't been able to get below 150 lbs for months despite clean eating and intense exercise + strength training

fuck deez genetics

By SamuraiX- Go To Postcongrats bro!

Keep pushing M8, you'll achieve your goal you'll see. :)

I'm feeling your pain on that one. I've got over the big hurdle in upper body stuff, but my diet is SHIT ever since I moved. Haven't been able to weigh myself on what I feel is a reliable scale for some time now. I feel now that I'm lifting again, but I know I could be doing better.

loool.

I played football yesterday morning and my bro put me on goal with a through-ball and I chased that fucker for half the pitch before reaching it just as it rolled out of play -_-

Felt like a right fat bastard. legs were all 'looool fuck off meight we're chillin"

Seeing a new girl who's lactose intolerant and a celiac. Makes all her own meals from scratch. Might just wife her now, healthiest thing thats ever happened to me.

back to sprinting. my hammies and glutes were on fire, whoo. Gonna have to ease back into this routine with some interval training. I just wanna challenge the gods and bust out some 300m sprints.

So played bball for the first time in years and I was so gassed. Totally need to work on my conditioning since lifting heavy doesn't help at all lol.

maxed out at 430 squat/dead. track season is around the corner so time to build up the endurance muscles with higher reps. 315 for 12????? we gon see.

Do you guys ever encounter some periods where anxiety just keeps you from working out? I kinda had that for the past 3 weeks, anxiety relating to big changes in my life. Going back to my mom's temporarily, i don't have an apartment yet as I moved back to France, soon a new job (in september), and i'm looking for a gf and the one i'm into does not seem very enthusiastic - probably relating to visible anxiety on my part... i'm so used to know how to approach girls that are why-nots that when i meet someone who is a fuck-yes, I mess up.

I just joined a new gym, lots of super buff guys which I don't mind, they're nice. Hit my chest so fucking hard today, but anxiety keeps me from eating well... I don't know how to get out of that phase, except for keeping on meeting new girls and hopefully wash away the disappointment. Does life ever get in the way of your routine? Over the past few years, my mood has really impacted my time at the gym.

BJJ will cause you to lose weight and gain muscle quickly within the span of three and a half weeks. If you don't diet properly you''ll drop eight pounds in your first training session. Anxiety can weigh in but then I look at myself in the mirror after a workout and pray for GAINZ.

I just entered the fifth phase of HST plan. Each phase is six weeks. Currently in weeks one and two enjoying things. Added off day core focus and back to my workout regiment with 30 minutes of intense flexibility/yoga work. Bosu ball is kicking my ass. Ditto for the bench press machine.

Diet wise I'm on some struggle gainz shit. If I drink 96 ounces of water that should translate into a good six pounds a day. Add in a 3200 calorie protein, shake two cups of rice, two hamburgers, and a canned vegetables everyday.

I'm strong as shit having seated triceps pressed 240 a good five times. Somehow I'm taking bench press slow to avoid injury.

ive been in the gym hard for a few years now and I've yet to do a max anything lol

*shrug*

I've just never been interested in my 1 lift rep in any of the main lifts. I've just been consistently pushing rep ranges of 5-10x3 for years now.

Probably due to my lack of a workout partner. Haven't had a dudebro to lift with in the longest.

well what do you mean by anxiety--like I'm in a mental state where my interest in working out is flatlined or are you actually suffering anxiety symptoms during workouts (palpitation, panic attacks, etc).

I've never had the former because working out always helps a lot with tension and stress in general. I've definitely had the latter though--after cramming for school a few months back I was downing so much caffeine that my heart rate was just going too high during my cardio. Had to basically cut out all cardio except for basketball (oddly enough) and kept my reps short on lifts. Dropped caffeine for a bit and my levels went back to normal.

just squatted 275x12x3. Sounds easy but I swear I saw jehova from the eighth rep of the final set until the end.

did some cleans too. Always fun. Back to sprints tomorrow.

I've actually had the anxiety stuff (and still do a bit) at the gym doing upper body stuff after my injury. I get REALLY self-conscious and I've never had that kind of thing before.

Its slowly going out the window as I make progress though. Finally up to doing 8+ pullups/chinups regularly now so I don't feel like a chump near that bar anymore. Chest still feels 'weird' because I just don't know what my actual range should be anymore. I throw up 135x12 like its nothing but I go up and its like my muscular endurance just doesn't exist on anything past 180. I can do 1 rep of anything up to 210. That's.... just not normal. I've never liked power lifting anything upperbody but now its like I'm forced to if I want to make real progress again.

Progress has been damned good lately. Iron mikes = <3. Tomorrow is deadlifts for the first time in forever (I'm just not touching cleans with elbow and shoulder still being fucked).

Just irritating as hell knowing that my functional strength makes working out in general a mess. I'll get on the same page with myself eventually but ugh

Whats your injury DY?

part of the reason I got into gym work a few years back was to help recover from a dislocated shoulder. My shoulders were ridiculously off balance with each other months. That was a long slow road.

Arms day tomorrow, its the best one!
