On the menu for today is:

+ The 'upper' half of an upper/lower split.

+ 100 floors on the stair stepper machine. The last stages of winter are still hanging on and it's slushy and slippery out there today so indoor cardio it is. :P

2000 jumping jacks

30 or so inverted sit ups

Fasting for more of the day.

Done and done.

+ DB shoulder presses, high cable rows, assisted pullups, db bicep curls, situps

+ 100 mother effin' floors on the stair climber.

+ Picked up some groceries on the way home.

>replet

do you even get a pump?

>>135323

Yes I do. I'm pretty weak tho so I'm more focused on just progressing and low rep high weight is the fastest way to build pure strength.

Once I get to non embarrassing numbers I'll switch to sets of ~10.

Two mile run

I'm sick with bronchitis and a sinus infection so I'm just doing yoga and some light stuff with some dumbbells at home. Gotta keep the ball rollin, y'know.

Rest day, so what I do every day: 2 Scooby rotisserie rotations (bad back), shoulder PT (rotator cuff prone to inflammation thanks to lifting injury), and 25 minutes on a stationary bike watching animu.

How much you bench right now? No judgement.

>>135370

145 for 5 reps. My goal is 225 on bench, 180 OHP and 315 squat/DL.

>>135381

Com'n, that's not so bad.

It's basically the same I lift :^)

Leg day today. Fucked up my back with deadlifts. I'll be glad if I can just finish my work sets for squats.

>>135385

I must go to the ubermench gym then because it seems like every other guy is pulling double or more what I can manage.

Hell the other day one of the regulars brought in his gf/wife and she was fucking squatting the same as me.

>>135385

I guess homos have a lot in common. Fags. :^)

I maxed 205 in high school but that doesn't matter. I don't know what I could do now… probably the same. If you're under 225 you aren't a man, bottom line, unless you're 3 ft tall or something. On a side note,I don't understand how people can bench 500 lbs but can't bench 225 lbs for 50 reps or more. The max is 51 reps or something.

>>135381

Those are decent goals. Work hard.

>>135311

I'm just doing a consortium of hand, foot, neck and head exercises. I have some basic full body workout routine I'm going to start as well…

30 squats, 20 sit ups, 20 push ups, 10 52.5 lb krok rows, 10 52.5 lb 1 arm roman dead lifts. Will add more exercises but keep the effort similar when it's a mindless habit (I've gotten good at creating habits, should take a few days).

Anyone here have a gripper? I got a Captains of Crush 1.5 gripper, 167.5 lbs, still can't close it after a week. Been doing hand stuff every day, the gripper almost every day. This shit is pissing me off. Might have to go apeshit and drum up some primal strength (which I guess is a trainable skill) to try and close this in a timely fashion.

>>135400

please don't talk about others not having men's strength if you have a woman's grip.

Finish work

>mixture of cardio and crunches to burn belly fat

Bed

>>135400

Good for you, big boi.

If I started weightlifting recently, what do you expect me to do? To start pounding 350lbs on the bench?

>>135414

>crunches to burn belly fat

shiggy diggy

stick to the cardio, and do more squats. 50 bodyweight squats ain't shit

>>135433

> ricotta cheese pizza

Good stuff, I'm jealous.

Today for me:

- 2.5 miles running, did it on my lunch break. Still cold and frozen around here.

>>135414

Crunches are bad for your back bro. You can't localize fat loss. It's a meme.

>>135401

<I maxed 205… what I could do now… probably the same.

It's general criticism that goes both ways. I guess I have more fingertip strength. I can deadlift 285 lbs with some gorilla finger tip grip going on (second last joint), but can't keep it closed unless I use the hook.

>>135419

Just saying what the expectations are. Struggle hard for the last 60 lbs or so. Being weak isn't anything to be ashamed of, staying weak is pathetic, getting stronger is something to be proud of.
