eggcellent

Cool IE sports ball

Me and two other members are doing a lifting program 3 times per week. I'd love to do mma but no one in our chapter has any knowledge of combat sports. I used to run a fight club in muy backyard in high school but I don't think that counts.

martial arts arent sports🅱all 🅱ruh

There's a gym I go to an IE guy with sometimes

make it a regular occurance bro

@ThisIsChris yeah get on a lifting program

yeah it's a special lifting gym

all barbells etc

No free weights? That's lame.

what, like dumbells?

they are there but I stick with barbell

basically doing a starting strength thing

Re: choice of gym, if you're the biggest guy at your gym, you're at the wrong one

@Guillaume truth

@ThisIsChris I mean like can you do power cleans and dead lifts or is it like planet fitness where they don't allow free weights?

@Deleted User I think what you call free weights I call barbells

Yeah, I think so.

If you can't move weight and make noise, then you aren't in a gym.

You are in a "fitness center".

Where's my Chad reaction

Cross fit gym

Yeah that's what I'm taking about, free weights.

ah ok cool, yeah that's what I'm talking about

@ThisIsChris thays a sexy gym

Good optics

What are you overhead pressing that?

yeah it's great I'm like the only novice there. everyone else is either a competitive weight lifter or pro trainer

you can squat without the bars

Flag could be a bit bigger tho

haha

@Deleted User you haven't seen what I'm talking about

?

I'll pm you

@Fox I happened to be learning squat that day, that was a few months ago

@ThisIsChris squat is king. I hit a 5x5 today with some back squat actually.

that's so nice

god I love squats

I wish I was at the gym right now

24 hour gym brah

yeah actually this gym is 24 hours

@ThisIsChris are you new to lifting?

@Fox yeah a lot newer than anyone else at that gym and probably a lot of the guys in IE

actually I got into lifting because I was reading through the (old) IE fitness server

saw a lot of people recommend Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe

I only have a couple years under my belt but it is very addictive.

bought it, read through it, then went to this gym

Smart move. That's a good program.

yeah I am very fortunate that I am a novice, I love being able to linearly progress

adding 5kg to my squat each time

I'm going to start 531 when I finish what I am working with now.

5lbs to my bench press

Yeah I'm not actually doing the true starting strength. The guy who runs the gym has his own variation of it

so I'm alternating 3x8 and 4x6

it's just a six week program for beginners

almost at the end of it

3x5 really isn't enough volume for a newbie

Sounds like your guy knows what's up.

Yeah it's a great place

That's awesome. Keep up the good work. I have nothing but benefited from lifting.

@Fox Thanks! If you're ever in NY and want to go send me a DM. Open invite for all IE guys 🙂

@ThisIsChris nice! We can have a deadlift party. And the same goes for you if you find yourself in North Louisiana.

Thanks man

Anyone do nootropics?

@Auf WI ye, a little

oy vey

if you arent eating 12 hotdogs with sourkraut a day, youre a cuck

Lmao

Not a big fan of squats. More of a deadlift sort of guy

@JohnStrasser 100% KOSHER beef franks you mean

@Auf WI had a pretty dank stack a while back. too expensive.

@Ekdromoi of course goy

@Deleted User deadlift is king

It is expensive, and trying to find a sample that actually gives noticeable improvements is also quite expensive

make your own stack

use powdercity.com

cheaper, but more difficult

@Deleted User >not getting glutes for the sloots

>not going ass to grass

@Stephanie Girls are allowed to participate and, I’m my view (subject to the boss’ veto) encouraged. Violent people these days seem to have no issue with attacking girls at random so it’s good to have a basic ability to defend yourself.

I know that Generation Identitaire does this.

I’m down then!!

I think women should be encouraged as long as it isn’t overboard and they’re at like 5% body fat and can’t have kiddos

@Stephanie 1488 first

@CatoTheGreater - CA obvs

Finally arrived
