you know its funny you say that cause generally I feel the same way, but every once in a while I see a dude with his short shorts on and his quads busting out and I'm thinking daaaamn bro. so I...
Yes, I can do air squats and goblet squats with no issue as long as my knee is playing well. I have no other issues doing them. As mentioned though leg size is not even a consideration for me at...
I always pictured you up on stage doing the splits like Kai Greene or something.
Actually, just kidding. When I was lean enough to consider making a run at getting on stage it was those types of...
Yeah, I agree, I wish I had been a little more concerned with maintaining movement / athleticism during the 2 years I was training for my contest. I think I did myself a real disservice by trying...
Catching up in here:
I hear you Kleen on the dieting down part being hard for us meatheads when it comes to potential muscle loss. But I think by actually doing it, I overcame that fear part for...
That’s excellent.
Something Jim pushes his student athletes on especially, and espouses in general, is the need to be able to move your bodyweight well as a prerequisite for more loading.
When I...
Agreed, I am starting to get "Hungry" so to speak. Wanting a little more.
I had actually basically decided last night that I needed to focus more on calisthenics where possible. Calisthenics...
Yeah you need a base of healthy movement and tissue first before worrying about barbell progressions. The other stuff Jim recommends for accessories should be the focus for now - the way he trains...
That’s great the neck is feeling good. Definitely understand not doing 5/3/1 yet. As long as you are steadily making progress then that train will keep moving down the track. When you are ready...
I had a nice little session yesterday, I focused on bodyweight stuff, glutes, core, and of course took my walk. Neck is feeling good, and I am happy about that.
I spent some time looking into...
I ran out monday morning to water the tomacco pots in my boxer briefs (benefit of living in the woods) and caught myself on the camera bent over with a bit more belly than I'd like lol. Funny how...
Ha, no Sir, not even jokingly close. More like chubby powerlifter. I have hanging fat, we are not talking about someone with major dysmorphia looking pretty good and not knowing it. We are talking...
Oh yeah Man, I would love that. I will end up showing you all what I look like here shortly when I decide to put the hammer down there are going to be some embarrassing Before Pics, and hopefully...
Been there every single time I dieted except the last one. This year I think I went from peak 205 to a dehydrated low of 183 (so lets say 188/189) and that 15+ lbs lost is the first time I felt...
I do wish that was the case, but I think it is more like I need to pair down the "life" portion of life balance when it comes to nutrition specifically. Perhaps we are in a very similar place...
Oh, I knew what you were referring to, but that wasn't as funny. Now I am picturing your horny ass running around in a onesy with a fully pitched tent chasing your wife around the house playing...
Ha….no I was responding to his question about if I wear knee sleeves. I only wear a onesy for my wife when I’m taking Trest, because it’s harder for me to get out of when I’m chasing her around...
Oh My, what did I just watch? LMFAO! I wonder if that is the key to great calisthenics training, having a training onesy. Looks like I may need to go shopping for giant baby clothes. ;)
Good to hear the knee is doing well!
Not a bad plan at all. After some research i decided to work on more calisthenics, and getting some of my athleticism back. I really miss just being good at...
Yeah that’s a good point, and what I’m hoping for…..newbie type gains from muscle memory. Probably next week I’ll increase to 3 sets at 270 and see how it feels before increasing weight maybe on...
As crazy as it might sound to you, maybe start with like a 60% of training max level - just knowing the issues you're dealing with and how long you've been off this type of compound lifting...
