Sounds like it could be a pull, tho i dont think ive ever had this feeling. ice doing anything? MAybe ICyhot.

i never iced it i def know i pulled something because tate day i was deadlifting i felt something lock in my knee maybe i might take time off go see a RMT Epson salt too

yea I have a vibrating foam roller but using it in the morning sounds like a good strategy, gonna start doing that

I usually ramp up my sets by week. so week 1 on my non-compound lifts. Bench I’ll do week 1 3 sets, week 2 4 sets, week 3 5 sets and then deload week 4 and repeat. Deadlift and Squat I just start with 95 on the bar and add 10 each side until my top weight, I don’t count sets on these. then my other lifts I just incorporate the same strategy as for chest

I don’t know if I’d be able to get my deadlift that high but I think if I had someone I could trust coaching/spotting me I could get to 6 plates on squats. I’ve done 525 on DL and 545 on Squat.

I’ve put up 445 with a slingshot on the bench press which is probably my most impressive lift

ya i do the d load like on week 4 or whenever i feel my body needs it but yeah i always foam roll in the morning before i go to the gym in the afternoon before work stretch before and after working out

i will feel legs screaming at me tomorrow

also anyone hear take mega z zinc mag b6

dl today and feel like

Yea I don’t think it really matters for muscle growth but you just need to listen to your body and make sure you’re digesting everything right

Yup I have a high chance of having diarrhea after a 2 scoop shake (50g) but feel good after eating a pound of chicken breast (100g)

Pull ups every day or every workout
Lat raises for side delts

Yeah my genetics are s*** lmao

This gym s*** is not worth it

cutting my session short today

I think my breakfast ended up being heavier than I wanted

I am making progress though. Already down 10 pounds.

pure l-citrulline is working wonders for me

thought i was stalling in my squat @ 470 but turns out my muscles were super tight, i used a foam roller to my legs and it was painful but solved the issue

what you eating

do it every morning

what is this

i stretch and foam roll before bed

if you can try it in the morning to

helps improve blood flow

why

When I get the money for a membership again what would be the simplest program and routine for me to maximize my newbie gains? In the meantime I have just been trying to build as respectable a physique as I can at home with pushups, crunches, planks and 2 dumbbells, but what exercises should I target once I join a gym? It’s not going to be at planet fitness but I’m probably just going to go to the one nearest to me and it’s that same kind of place where 3 guys spend hours “spotting” each other talking about what happened at the office that day and hogging the bench and squat rack so unless I go after midnight I’m going to have to target the more niche machines, so if you could give me advice with that in mind I’d appreciate it

yesterday was pancakes eggs sausage and then i just snacked on protein stuff cuz i didn’t feel like cooking

What’s a good substitute for squats/dumbbell squats? Feels really awkward doing them
