You all have got to get better about just walking up and telling someone you are going to work in with them. It is in every single gym contract in the world that you have to share equipment and allow people to work in with you. Just be assertive. "How many sets you got? 1-2 I'll wait, 4-5 Okay I am going to work in with you in between sets. Cool, thanks. "
True. I am a little on the shy side so normal just go about what I can manage to do.
everyone either keeps 100% to themselves (which explains a lot of the suicides brought on by lonliness) or they fight lol
It's a little different here, people have no problems fighting a lot of the time but more often it is just a verbal attack and a lot of posturing. No one really wants to fight, they just want to feel like displayed dominance, but here in Texas that will get you in a real fight. I am definitely not going to start a fight in a gym but let another man put his hands on me and we are going to find out who is better at violence very quickly. I am no true badass on the level of truly skilled fighters, but I am far from a slouch in the violence category. Either way, if I went up to someone respectfully and they got a bit wild out of the gate things would indeed escalate. However my escalation 9/10 times will be me going to get an employee to straighten them out about what they agreed to when they signed their contract.also to be fair Kleen isn't a PNW guy and doesn't live the Seattle Freeze. we are not nice people up here. Not social at all and if a stranger starts talking to you the first thought is always aggression. we're weird in the PNW.
Usually seated dbl and incline dbl. Just random reps. think yesterday did seated for 3 sets 10 reps, 4 sets 5 reps and switched to incline for 5x10. Second session was machine preachers for 5x10. The dbls are by the squat racks so makes it easier doing them in between squats or deads. Biceps are still an after thought for me so just put them in while I rest for squats/ deads.
Yeah unfortunately they're always sorta an after thought for me too and probably the one thing I feel is lagging the most
Yes, back in 12/2/ 17. My 1st meet here in Oregon. Was the 1st time did a serious water cut and made a ton of mistakes but it is all a learning process. Think I was 176lbs a week out and on low carbs so that screwed everything up. Look back in the log and guess woke up the day before weigh ins at 174.5 and started cut around 2pm and weighed in at 162.9 at 8am the next day. If I do make a push for it things should go smoother.
That was my thinking too. With as hard as the double hit me on Saturday I so far this week have been picking my spots when to pick the intensity up.
Bench will probably be the biggest lift to suffer but think if I stick to the right plan can gain some back.
That’s a great session there man!
I bought these ones:
They are probably 1 size to big to be really tight. The 1st pair I sent back since they were so loose but decided since these are for training only would keep them.
That is the main reason I choose them over another pair of SBDs. Just need a good sleeve to train in that was cheap.
Been pretty good lately at -1lb a week once I broke through the low 190s. 14 weeks out and would like to get to 178 to 180 as quick a possible without sacrificing to much muscle. That way my body can sort of adjust to the lighter weight before the meet. Would like to be there at least 4 weeks out but will see how it goes.
That’s a heck of a great double session
Nice and stable loss, good stuff. Sounds like a great plan!
