u look like drake

Thank you 😍🥰

got them Millenial 4s with the white socks on, I see you king future gym dad loading

It’s these joints, got them for $40 on Black Friday at Nike Chicago and swapped the laces

nah I’m dead that s*** is actually v4

with that said sounds right in my price range

getting stronger, losing body fat, maintaining muscle, still haven’t added cardio to the routine all year

January we start running and locking in for summer, let’s go!

how many mins and x a week you recommend running

easiest method if you struggle getting it in is just a mile or 2 after your lift, but you gotta maintain whatever pace you decide even if it’s slow. you can also choose to do bike, stair master, or high resistance elliptical. do this every day

alternatively, 30min-1hr combination of any of the above or one of them in the morning fasted every other day, or if you got a lot of energy to spend, every day

also, walking for an hour or 2 daily can satisfy your cardio needs at a very low impact, this just requires being able to set aside that time though. one cut dude I knew just used to walk and the other just used to ride the stationary bike, all low impact compared to running. so really just preference

to answer your question, if you can get a mile 3-4 times a week, even walking, you should be good on cardio lol

so i walk 8 hrs a day at work every day since i have a standing job plus i do like 10-20 mins of incline on like 2.8-3.2 like maybe 2 twice a week i dont run so that is my cardio but ty for replying back

leg day was brutal

oh yea then you good lmao, I have a desk job now so it’s been nice to see that I’m actually progressing more than when I had a standing job moving around the whole time like what you got right now

its kinda crazy how much i wanna lift again after being at the gym yesterday

when you guys do leg extensions do you hold for like 10 secs an go half way to strengthen the knees on a heavy weight

tbh I been building knee strength through my hamstrings as opposed to like leg extensions. have zero knee pains since making the switch. it’s harder to push a heavy weight on those front knee joint focused workouts often, at least to me

mainly just use leg extensions to get stronger quads, longest I’ll hold is like 3 seconds

i dont do leg curls because i got a really bad charlie horse one day and i dont do quad machines where your like sitting back and pushing back i just do dead lifts and that works on my quads what i did start last week was doing hip abductor training not the one pushing in words but the one pushing out words because my physio person said i have tight hips

man try lying leg curls, you gotta get your legs curls. your leg strength will balloon with stronger hamstrings. start light, treat your hamstrings like your biceps. trussssst me.

honestly this is where those 10-20 seconds holds would work the most. do a set of lying leg curls then superset with a pause set for 20 seconds and tell me how that feels lmao

my leg day man i am trying to rush through it quick because i go to the gym before work and i am trying to finish on time to get to work if anything i can try them on Tuesdays when i do chest plus i could never super set from leg curls to do those pause holds which i do on Wednesdays and Saturdays along with doing knee ext on Mondays to for like 3x9 so i will work them in on Tuesdays that way i am not doing to much volume all in one day but ty for the advice

no doubt you already know dawg

I can sense prime mufucka just walking in this b**** hitting these log presses and atlas stone lifts and just walking away like I really did that

Atlas stone lift
log overhead press
Circus dumbbell press
trap bar deadlift
farmers walk/yoke walk

wtf is a stone lift log overhead press circus dumbbell press ?

hit 3 plate squat since like more then a year if i had to guess

atlas stone lift

log overhead press

circus dumbbell press

The loghas a neutral grip, and it shifted your weight forward a ton.
extremely heavy use of stabilizers and works more of the upper chest/tricep than regular barbell press. Same weight on the barbell press feels heavier with this one. But since youre using neutral grip, it feels more comfortable on the shoulders

Also I know these 3 examples in the vids were from some Brutes, obv im not lifting anything near what they are, lol. But still doing these same movements. im only a few months into all of these tho, so im still trying to find my footing with them if that makes sense.

also the stone lift uses alot of the stabilizers too, since the lift is basically a deadlift + squat + partial upright row in the sense. But it forces you to squat ALL the way down low in order to brace the stone.
Because these are all hella complex, i rarely do any isolation exercises anymore other than rear delt/calf s***. but thats just because rear delt is always important.

I still do pullups n s*** btw but i integrated a s*** ton of strongman exercises towards my lifts now
