Yep that's my normal and I do some dumbbell work like flys etc. what's your opinion on incline bench and such to get the whole chest?

@Nick-NJ is probably the guy to ask

After deadlifting, where do you guys feel it the next day?

Hamstrings

Just leaving my new gym. It's a shame the nastiest greasiest people are the ones that don't wipe the equipment off. But from my second night back at a gym vs working out at home I can tell a big difference in how much work I feel like I get in.

Just got to take a second to brag about my 365# back squat PR today. Looking forward to big number on the rest of my lifts this week.

Nice!

Thanks, fearless leader.

Nice work @Fox#8051 !

@Fox get some!!

@Deleted User Thanks, brother. Shooting for a 500# deadlift on the 26th. Pick up that yule log.

@JesseJames Incline is pretty vital in getting that rounded strong chest look as well as being able to put up bigger numbers on a flat bench.

@GDoctor this is what I'm told but I tried to find a good routine for doing this but there is so much bs out there I was hoping to find a good one from someone with real experience.

I try to do both flat and incline presses with dumbbells 8-12 reps for 3 sets on each exercise. It has made my bench press numbers better and aesthetically improved my chest. Would recommend.

How much of an incline do you use?

One guy I worked out with did incline flat and decline. He had a huge chest to.

Incline and decline pushups are also a good way to accomplish the same thing, though they work in reverse. Incline push ups (feet on the floor and hands on the bench) work the same muscles as decline bench press, and decline push ups (feet on the bench and hands on the floor) work the same muscles as incline bench press.

Guys, I'm struggling to get through my workout and need some motivation!

u tryna be big or wat my dude

(Free testosterone levels intensify)

arms lookin thicc

Still gotta do some bent over bicep curls and incline curls...

@GDoctor then get at it!

Done! Arms are fokkin juicy!

Good job with those gains @GDoctor

@GDoctor glad I'm not the only one who goes to planet fitness lol.

It's not bad, but I still prefer my college's gym.

I'm in a small town. Had a great gym that was 24 hours all the free weights and machines anyone could want. Not much riff raft, never busy and no spin classes or any of that bs. Then planet fitness came to town and put them out of business. I held off for almost a year before joining hoping another one would open.

I don't see how other gyms can compete, kinda sad

My dream would be to open a right wing gym

Like operation Gym Crow

In my small town made up of mostly upper middle class family's ofcourse they want to go with the trendy name. I think most of the people only pay their memberships to have the tag on their key rings. While the ones whom actually work out and go to the gym 3 to 5 times a week would prefer a "real" gym.

Lmao, I've seen too many people like that..

I got injured 4 months ago. Haven't lifted or eaten right since. Back in the gym today and my squat 1rm went from 375 to 340.

Only

I am confused but very pleased

I dropped from 190 to 155...

I don't understand really

Strong lifts are more about conditioning your central nervous system not your muscles.

We need to make a real life Goys Gym like in the Chad nationalism video.

Sure. I just figured that there would be a drop off. I look like a Good Soyim right now

But I'm still stronk

Will return to posting in this server now I'm no longer a bitch

Planet fitness must be a jew run organization

Very generic, no sense of culture or local community

@Phoenix- GA#1420 you’re 155 right now?

@Deleted User when I was 18-20 I was taking cheat codes went from 135-140 to 175-180 had kids got married and all that stuff. Quit working out until a couple of years ago and got back up to a natural 160 and now I'm 175 and stronger than ever.

Nice. I have a small natural disability and I spent 2013- around cville 2 lifting and doing lots of work to keep my body in shape, naturally. Did some martial arts, got a knee to my back which led to a kidney infection, which swelled and btfod my back. But I went from 120 in 2012 to about 190 at 15% in August.

I pretty much stopped eating after due to stress from law school, women, and all the witch hunting, dropped to about 155-160 where I am now

That is my biggest problem is my diet. It is hard to maintain a strict diet living a busy life and raising 3 kids.

So I'm starting to get more in to lifting instead of purely staying lean and relatively strong. One of the big things recommended to me was pre workout and protein. Any recommendations?

I'd like to know that as well ^^^ I make a protein shake with glutamine and creatine after my lifting, but what are the benefits of any sort of pre-workout supplement?

coffee is all you need

not saying that you "need" a preworkout anyways

i don't use one

I use NOxplode. i go to the gym at 6am during work days and i need a preworkout to help me wake up and be functional in the gym

Funny story about NOxplode- my roommate in college bought that stuff, went to the gym twice, then just drank it in the morning before class to "help him wake up"

yeah it gives you a nice euphoric feeling

So it's literally just a pick me up/ caffeine boost/ alertness tool, no muscular benefits?

What about protein powders?

What would be ideal there

It is designed to be taken before lifting heavy weights. Not a simple caffeine boost

Ok thanks for the info, I'll pick some up and give it a try.

The only advice I can give on all that stuff is it is not regulated by the FDA so be very careful

Defintiely researcha a product before buying it

Absolutely. I research everything, ESPECIALLY something I'm going to ingest.

nice

@Sonic yeah to my knowledge it does not have a direct effect on muscles. it helps you get a veiny look while lifting because of the L-Arginine in it. that also will give you good erections as well lol

I have also seen people who say they do not use supplements, and they get all their nutrients and such from food

@Pat-MA I've heard the same thing but my food choice is extremely restricted so it's more achievable through supplements at this point

Why is your food choice restricted?

Trying to get my bench back to what it was before season. Was able to do 4 sets of 3 reps of 225 finishing with 6 reps of 225, 30 second rests between sets. Was tougher than it was this summer, but it's progress!

Nice. Wish I could crank that out. I am afraid to really push it ATM as I'm working out solo and haven't seen anyone at them gym I'd even consider asking.

If you want to get gains you have to follow the progressive overload principle. It's actually a lot safer (imo) to do heavier loads with smaller amount of reps than the other way, as more reps = more chance for injury due to fatigue.

And you don't have to get someone jacked to spot you. As long as someone is competent enough they should be able to provide enough help that between the two of you you'll get the weight up.

But yeah, safety is important.

Ya forsure. I have to stay uninjured to be able to work.

@Pat-MA military service

boutta hit off the new year with a mean Leg Day

@Deleted User Same here.

tfw you have the gym to yourself.

heck yeah

god damn, i forgot how good I feel after a great workout

the holidays had me sedentary

I can feel the T

Worked out today for the first time in over a decade....time to boost that T for the Ethnostate!

Lol no gainz yet

Powerlifting and gymnastics are a terrifying power. HOW CAN YOU STOP A MAN WHO CAN HUMAN FLAG AND SQUAT 4 PLATES

Howdy fellas. Just got a gym membership and I only know a handful of different workouts. Is there any comprehensive YouTube series or a collection of articles y'all would recommend?

Honestly it's a good idea to get with someone experienced to create a program that targets the results you want, and from there research each workout/movement to get down the form.

Watching yourself in the mirror is vital for good form as well if you don't have a partner or coach

@Farmer D Can you share with us what you're going for and what your current body condition is? Don't worry we won't judge you. No one in the alt right ever judges anyone. Ever.

6ft 180 lbs. very low stamina at the moment. Average strength. I want to get up to 200 lbs. be able to run 5 miles. Bench a full set 10 at 200 and squat a full set at 300. Get up to 100 push-ups and 25 or 30 pull ups. Basically just become all around healthy and flexible

Lose this skinny fat physique I currently have

Ok. I'm 6'1 and 185 so it looks like we have similar frames. Do you know what your current stats are for 5-mile run, bench, squat, push ups, and pull ups?

I can tell you that 30 pull ups is a pretty high goal

I can do 10 reps bench at like 110. 10 reps squat at 120. 10 pull-ups. 30 push-ups. I can only run 1 mile without taking a walk break in 8 min

These are all long term goals
