I don’t do them or have an opinion on them but I was watching this fella talk about them today (7min mark)

lol Dr. Mike just tryna make content

i’m tryna save my lower back and still lift heavy

Heck yea as long as you’re moving you’re doing something right !

I use to do these ab exercises in the pool but had to stop cuz I started catching cramps in my stomach. I did this workout today and caught a stomach cramp again during the ab portion. S*** so painful I was rollin around the ground lol . Had to google to make sure I ain’t have a hernia I been getting them so often

stiff-legged deadlifts would probably be a better substitute, since you work on correctly hinging your hips, and safely works your low back + posterior leg muscles w good form.

Controlled back extensions (slow eccentric, stop the concentric when your glutes are fully contracted aka no hyperextension) have helped a few people i know w lower back pain

i do pull ups then go right into deadlifts afterword's heavy

did a good chest day followed by abs and a bit of incline cardio then went to work i walk and move around a lot had a protien shake 2 scoops 35 grams each but i was still so hungry by the time i went to go eat dinner

i would flip it and do a lat pulldown first then pull up after deadlift, but if you seeing benefits then push on!

SOTD:

finally passed my max amount (25) of consecutive pushups with no interruptions up to 27.
30 clan soon.

i always feel or been told that its always better to do pull ups 1st because its when you have the most energy

hit 4plate 15 at the gym dead lift

Were u the one saying u were practicing doing the knuckle pushups or was this someone else? (from another thread)
Either way congratulations fam

Someone else im definitely not up to knuckles yet lmfao

i would get that if your goal is to improve on pull up

but like for me i have lower back issues and recently I been trying to fix all these joint issues, so i use pull up to relieve the pressure after deadlift and get my “energy usage” out of lat pulldown

i did 4 plate dead lift after pull ups so i am good

everyone’s different salute brother

I need that 50 ball from you big bro

my sotd

How many grams of protein would be best to shoot for? I heard even 0.7g/1 lb of weight is the target for me. Tryna go on a slight 300-400 calorie deficit in time for summer.

Chicken breast is such an easy way to get your proteins in

BETTER PUT HOT SPICY STUFF ON THAT OR YOUR BETTER OFF EATING DRY WALL

ARM DAY WAS CRZYYYYYYYYYY

.7-.8 is all u need

my gym got this new chest press a while back and i used it for the first time time today, holy s***, the stretch was insane felt like my pecs were about to rip off only bad thing was the padding sucks, it felt like just hard plastic, no give at all. i've never seen anyone use it but it's gonna be a new staple for me
