Homebody gym raaaatttss

in on this crew, i care way more about the size of my arms and definition on my abs then i do about admiring some foreign country.


btw, i decided to just start doing decline. 4 sets of flat bench and 4 sets of decline bench seems like a better choice then 8 sets of flat bench

[IronCharles]

What's good?

Decline has been my preferred bench for a long time. Less stress on the shoulders I think and some argue it activates the chest better.

I like to use a pyramid rep scheme. Usually between 5-8 sets. Starting lighter and working to heavier weight in the 1-3 rep range.

Merry Holidays, -✘- folks!

Experiencing different cultures is a great way to gain perspective and broaden the mind. The IG version is not representative of that. Visiting third world countries changed mine forever.

Lying on your deathbed, only your experiences will matter, not your big arms and six pack.

Of course balance is key, but recognize narcissism for what it is. Lifting has many benefits though and I also believe a healthy body correlates with healthy mind.

Misc has gotten so dead I am finding it harder and harder to stop by besides when I am procrastinating during work.

How was everyone's Xmas? This vacation is just absolutely flying by for me. Feels like every day is just an hour long, lol.

I feel like I’m doing almost nothing* everyday aside from eating crap and chilling, but I am spending time with family and friends so it’s a good break.

Nothing = 7 mile run most days

I’ve been getting up earlier (not as early as you health4life lol) and I like it. Hmm.

Soon, the New Years resolutioners will invade my gym - then in February, it’ll be back to normal.

yea i noticed it feels much better on my shoulders than flat does. probably has alot to do with rotator cuff injury ive been struggling with for the last 8 months though. ive heard it said its not necessary if youre doing flat bench, but on the other hand it seems intuitive that it has to work the chest and shoulders differently, so doing it along with flat and incline would be a good idea.

these kinds of things are really up to the individuals perception. ive been to foreign countries and thought it was cool, but not necessarily worth the amount of money it took to get there.

i do not think that being extremely dedicated to lifting is the same thing as narcissism though.

Narcissism isn’t synonymous with arrogance. Narcissism is self adoration, usually due to a person over compensating for his/her insecurities. Becoming obsessed with lifting doesn’t mean someone is a narcissist, by itself. It’s the motivation behind the lifting that would label someone a narcissist. If you lift to appear superior to others, then that could be narcissistic. To me, it’s the motivation that matters.

Some of the experienced lifters on this site for example who put down others on here to make themselves feel better, they seem narcissistic.

Pretty deep. I agree.

Keep waking up earlier, it only gets easier and feels better as your body adjusts to the lifestyle of the Master Race.

There’s something about knowing you have Monday off that makes Sunday sooo much better.

So, for those who wake up super early, what’s the first thing you do? Do you get the gym out of the way?

I wake up at 5am on workdays. First thing I do is turn off the alarm clock!











Srs.

Actually I turn off all three: 2 electric and one wind up (in case the power goes off). Hasn't been late to work in years crew checking in.
