Nice work Sandy

This would be me, if only my gym would be open by then. I am a morning person

Yes. exactly what you 2 said here. I was always told by trainers that i should squat deeper... F* YOU! I can't physically get any deeper, if i could, i would, because i know it would put more stress on the muscles, so it would grow faster with same load. About the quarter squats, i saw it coming by on a feed once, and all…

@nossmf I get what you are saying, i feel the same with my squats, but i know i can't physically get any deeper than i do right now because of my hip mobility. I mean, with or without weight, the depth stay's the same (actually with weight a little deeper because it pushes me down) Same goes for you with your shoulder. You…

Well, if you can't get the full ROM anymore, that means it's muscle fatique, otherwise you would be able to go endlessly. I always do them till faillure for 3 sets at a certrain weight. And once i hit first set for 10 reps or more, i upp the weight for next week

Dude, if you post your lift video's, we would be in awe, and nothing i do would even come close to your numbers. That's why i stopped comparing myself with others, i do me, and you do you. I know i am stronger than i used to be, that's my comparison. The me from a few years ago

Yep!

HOLY *kitten*! 5 plates...Man you are awesome! My goal is 400lbs in next 2 years

That is a terrible test, because it say's absolutely nothing. Low heartrate doesn't mean good cardio. It's about having a pretty even cardio, and how fast it goes back to "normal" once the cardio is taken away

Yeah, my working heartrate has always been high, been that ever since i started tracking it back in 2010 when i did cycling I goes high fast, but also back to normal pretty fast But during my rope jumping it went up to 177 peak which is almost as high as i used to have it on my spinning classes back in the day Really like…

Yeah that is true. Some people think i am nuts for liking squats so much more than benchpress (i'd rather do 3x a week squats then 1x benchpress) But since i do wanna be stronger overall, i do my benchpress as well 🤣 And i understand the incline vs flat when it comes to the shoulder

Back in the gym after 1 week off. Took it easy, and no squats yet, so did upper body workouts. Benchpress 5x5 @ 83% Tried some new stuff i saw on IG from Nick Benekaris (bigbenchas...follow him if you do not already...Thanks for the tip @KickassAmazon76 ) By having a different setup for my grip, my wrist was not bending…

You are one rare breed Chris... Kudo's that you do them and have no problem in doing them, because most people get injured when doing dips, let alone doing weighted dips

AWESOME!

Totally agree. Dips are bad on the joints, and for tricep strenght/growth not even your best choice. Unless you are a gymnast, you should avid doing these

Yes, yes, and HELL YES! Always bro crush on my man Dave

Nice work Mike, that is one hell of a workout!

Trying to revive this thread, not because i am a dad, because i am not, but because i like this sense of humor. Here goes "The other day i was in a restaurant, and they served their meat in portions of 2,3,5,7 or 11 It was their Prime Rib" "Which country is has a lot of bad singers? Singapore" "Me and some friends started…

Yes, i have a long list of things to crush about when it comes to Ash

Congrats on the effort of going for a PB on the leg press...so you failed, so what? That is all part of the progress. As the quadfather said:

Nice work Sandy 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Yesterday was week 3 | Day 1 of my program, so that means Benchpresses Did 4 sets at 70% and my goal was to do 6-10 reps. Ended up doing 12/12/13/12, so gonna up the weight next week. Funny, because last week i was doing reps at 65% and i was only able to do 11/10/10/8 Here is my third set, and i am mostly proud of how…

LOVE IT!!!! You ROCK!

Finally looks like i am hitting below parallel on my squat I had to lower my safety bar from my normal height, because i was hitting it on my warmup sets

I wish that store would deliver to Europe as well (for a reasonable price) Because i really like how they look Would get the short versions of it then The shop where i order my bowlingshirts from, has this exact same image on one of their shirts

Looks like a Viking warrior

Finding jeans is hard indeed. I have EU lenght size 38 Most stores only sell up to 36, which is already pretty long

I have 105 cm inseam (about 41" if my calculations are correct)...yep i have tall legs. And my wife who is a wopping 32 cm shoter than i am, is sitting eye to eye with me in the car as well. Short legs, tall torso... It's weird how the human body works sometimes

Started watching Shogun Very good feel so far, pretty authentic feel

Fun fact, when i did lots of cardio back in 2012 up to 2018 (i cycled 300-500 km a week outside and did 3 spinning classes a week) my rest heartrate was "only" between 65 and 70 Since i started weightlifting, and mostly last 2 years my rest heartrate dropped to 50-55
