The weights never lie. My natural high. Do this sh*t till I f*cking die.

[Jrahe42]

Yooooo!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see ya brother and thanks! How ya been? Hope you've been well!

A sled is on the list along with much more to add to the home gym. As far as sled work is concerned I have a tire I'm using for light sled drags and or I'll walk backward on my treadmill turned off which mimics a sled pull, very VERY good for knee rehab indeed. Also good for knee warmup before squats, etc.

Oh hell no I will never rush anything with females again, already made that mistake a few times lol. We really do seem to be living in clown world now, every single girl I've hung out with past couple years is either: unemployed, broke, has a kid, no drivers license, no car, no ambition/hobbies/goals, thinks her p*ssy is all she needs to provide/be equal, whiny, entitled, annoying, negative, a social media wh0re, etc etc etc. Its usually a mix of that list.

Its disgusting and I blame it on education/society/parenting/social media etc. And its not just females, its males too. I stay away from all people like that because the laziness and lack of accountability is contagious. That movie idiocracy was spot on.

I know there are still high value females out there so I'll keep my options open hopefully / eventually finding one but I'm not holding my breath lol.

Lol’d hard at this part…

And at the same time kinda depressing no matter where I go it sounds to be the same.

I’m like you, a complete addict to the gym , I’ll never stop lifting. I Was doing legs today and I couldn’t help but keep eyeing the deadlift platform (haven’t deadlifted in quite some time) started f*cking around with some singles and went up to 455. No belt, no chalk. Was pleased.

LOL!!!!!

Yeah its ridiculous, funny AND sad!

What the hell happened? I guess I'll have to go to church or a mosque to find a woman that actually brings something to the table...

But like I said not a priority.

Glad you're still lifting my friend! Makes me happy to know you're still killin it! 455 deadlift is damn good for not even trying, I swear as long as you keep squatting, rowing, hamstring work, etc etc the deadlift strength never goes down. I remember after my knee surgery years ago I didn't deadlift for maybe 5 months, barely squatted heavy too, in fact I didn't do much...But somehow my deadlift strength was still there for 5 plates. Very weird.

[dopamine72]

Yesterday was about a two hour long bike ride along the city/beach, was very very nice.

Today I walked a mile then I ran the next mile for a 10 min mile and it was pretty damn easy even though I'm pushing close to 210 body weight at the moment.

Gotta go to dentist in an hour because of the accident last year...Probably have another 10+ visits till everything is done. Bill pushing 10k now and it will be close to 15k after all said and done.

If I knock out my teeth again a 3rd time no more implants I'll simply get a $600 state plate, AKA retainer with teeth.

I can't stop the mountain biking, rock climbing, sports, gym and overall active lifestyle, chit makes me feel too good to stop.

[dopamine72]

Overdid it

Long bike rides 3 days in a row plus ran last day and then played basketball

Can barely walk today lol

Was totally worth it though had allot of fun

Started training 8 years ago with a what was then 47 year old neurosurgeon. He’s in great shape, strong , and obviously smart AF but no priority on legs. I was a b*tch and let his routine takeover my routine. While my chest, shoulders, tris, back, and bis have benefitted, my legs have not. I’ve periodically trained them but just recently the passion and fire has re-entered my life. Promise to never be that much of a b*tch again.

My biggest weakness now is stretching. Something I need to make a non-negotiable in my daily life.

Find yourself a nice minority. Outside of being good kissers, white girls lump right into your list of disappointments and they often age terribly so overall not the best long term investment lol

You seem well rounded in your workouts. Keep a similar standard of excellence in everything you do.

[dopamine72]

3 hour workout

Body weight: 210

Huge amount of rehab/stretching/mobility work before volume bench

No bigger numbers to report yet hit bench, tri ext, curls, barbell rows, db rows, back extensions, pullups, pushups and stationary bike that's all I can remember...Tweaked the same spot in my right back again but I think my body knows that's not going to stop me from finishing my workout so I barely feel it, I swear there's a difference in my body when it comes to tweaking/straining things, it used to completely take me out of comission and now it only impacts me negatively like 10% of what it used to...Pretty phucking NEATO

lol'd multiple times

Thanks brother yep that's the great thing about lifting and staying disciplined is it carries over to every other aspect of life. Def keep up with stretching, I have a few clients who slack off with it then they get injured...

[dopamine72]

I'll be doing some variations of these exercises tomorrow...Once again this guy kills it with his fresh content.

[dopamine72]

2-11-22

Body Weight: 206 so now I'm recomping. Abs more visible.

Lots of corrective exercises and stretching today. Those seated goodmornings are $$$. 45 min on Stationary bike.

Did this shoulder rehab exercise too and it gave me a KILLER pump in the rear delts.



^ Such a beneficial exercise that I will continue to do.

Did some more back extensions because they feel so good on my back.

Hit Calves, ATG split squats full ROM and some light curls/tricep ext.

ATG Split squats:



And did all of this:



^ Like I said fukin MONEY

Body feels very very good and healthy, my back tweak almost gone from this morning cuz of all of these great exercises.

[dopamine72]

Trained a client today who I'm also having do corrective exercise because he is injured. So I ended up doing some more:

- Super couch stretches (4 min each side holy hell)
- Slant Board Hamstring Stretch 2 min body weight only this time
- Kettle Bell Swings 30 rep sets w/ 40 pounds 2 sets
- Tibialus Raises 60 reps non stop body weight
- Elephant walks 60 total reps 30 each leg non stop

I must say I have not found any other exercise that gets my glutes as pumped as high rep kettle bell swings. My GAWD.

For those of you that don't know wtf a slant board is lol:

(first 10 sec all you need to see)



A slant board is a must have, all of these little new pieces of equipment are far beyond amazing. I wish I knew about this chit when I first started lifting and I bet I wouldn't have had as many injuries.

[blueberryboy]

That dopamine rush standing in the shower after a lifting session...agree

[dopamine72]

Lots of rehab work today; Slant board stretch, Side Split w/ Chair Stretch, knee stretch/calisthenics, glute leg kick backs w/ ankle weights (helps back greatly), pigeon pose, back extension stretches, spine stretch with band, etc probably more I forgot again...

[tobistrength]

[dopamine72]

So I did my best to replicate hill sprints on a treadmill. Put it on highest incline for a full 100 pace 6mph run then slow it to 2mph keeping incline the same, rest for about 30-60 sec and repeat 10x.

It was some good HIIT. Even my calves are a little sore today.

Original vid that motivated me starts @ about 3:50



AND NO KNEE PAIN

Body Weight: 207

One Arm Cable Rows
45x15
70x10
90x10
115x6
125x6

- This is a glorious exercise because of the stretch you can get each rep. I highly recommend this for great back development.

275x3
295x3
315x1 VERY EASY

Backoff set: 225x10 EZ

Kept it simple becuase I haven't used this weight in a long time. My relentlessness has paid off! NO KNEE PAIN and feeling STRONG.
Pretty sure I could have pulled off a 405 squat today but I'm not going to be a retard lol

I know some of you may be wondering why I pre-exhausted my back before squats (not a great idea for most) but it works for me well. In fact I think my back getting warmed up and pumped made the bar feel light on squats. I'll have to keep trying this to confirm. I did notice something similar hitting my back before bench press too. I seem to be able to get a big pump in the lats and that must provide more stability I guess? Pls respond

[dopamine72]

Just tried fulcrum deadlifts and WOW

They are yet another exercise I should have been doing from the beginning. It totally brings back your spine stabilizer muscles.

Worked up to a plate and change for ten reps. 4 sets total then a burnout set of back extensions. My entire spine feels stable as hell, pumped w/ less pain.

Its cool though cuz I'm pretty shredded and can eat whatever and however much I please.

[Woody-5]

love dem front squats!

how did covid treat you? I had it back in Jan. fever for the first night then was just tired for a few days

[dopamine72]

love dem front squats!

Front squats are one of the BEST!!!!!!!!

Unvaxed here, pretty sure its been 3x now (1x the test came back positive, other times I just figured it was it)

The first covid back in jan 2020 was the worst (2 weeks sick, then 1 week of "weakness" and recovery)

Ever since then it was a fever for half a day the 2nd time

Then the latest one got me for about a week, i fasted cuz I believe that's a little trick to recover faster

But I'm still here above ground! Nothing really that bad...Pancreatitis and the other chit I went through was way worse lolololol

Point is if you keep fighting and pushing forward nothing will stop you as long as you're taking care of yourself health wise, etc

Thanks for the kind words my brother, glad to see you still around and KILLING it with those badass hikes, YOU are one of the strong ones so PLEASE never ever change

[Jrahe42]

95x50 sounds like death on the bench. Pump must of been incredible (queue Arnold pump is like cumming video)

I got covid for the first time 10 days ago. First two days whooped my ass and I still have covid fatigue. Lost 5-6 pounds so we are sitting at around the same weight (197 here) but you’re probably more ripped (:
Tightening up my diet so I’ll probably see if I can get shredded like you in the coming months. 3-4 months enough time to dabble with it prior to a winter mini bulk.

[dopamine72]

Body weight 199 phew

Fukin lifted in my 105 degree garage today, squats and front squats...Was going to do bench but after that I would have puked...Almost did still...

Haven't felt like logging my workouts lately been kinda burnt out on work, responsibilities etc

Only worked up to 275x6 back squats and 185x6 front squats, at least it was pretty easy...But the heat...Holy fuk

Thx brah, who knows who's leaner...U gonna start up a journal again?

I'm still not in the best condition I'd like to be in. Still wanna get leaner and bring up a few lagging parts + vert + mile time + 40 yard dash etc

Also my goals have slightly changed, I'm really training for pure athleticism now for a number of reason AND my body feels allot better / hurts less with all the new mobility work etc + I'm still keeping my size for the most part

Definitely trying to shed some fat and get leaner but my abs still poppin
