My wrist has been slowly improving. Hoping to get back into the gym next week.
@Rogue don't rush my dude
Muh gains
I saw my brother last night for the first time in almost a year. This dude been bulking hard. He's like 6'5 200lbs
He's a little fat, which I'm not used to at all, but he's strong af
For reference, my entire life, he's been taller and lighter than me
Gym was empty on Thanksgiving and now I can feast guilt free.
We're all gonna make it.
Had to cut out a few problematic lifts (overhead press, lateral raises) and reduce the weight a bit but otherwise had a pain free session w/ my wrist today.
Trying to be careful but I think I could be at 100% within 2 weeks...
I don’t want to be long winded, but gents, I need some serious dieting advice. Whoever can help, pls DM.
any of ya'll play airsoft?
did in like middle/high school
play a game of paintball like, every other year now
maybe
Yeah, I've played maybe half a dozen paintball games. very fun
Gonna get into muh airsoft for the cardio and fun every Sunday.
I've been playing for several years. It's great when your guns work.
I used to have a full arsenal of airsoft guns and played with a group of guys. Honestly, it was fun as hell. Haven't done it in about 10 years now though.
I've always wanted to get into airsoft and I still might in the future
Also, is this channel not as active because it's Winter?
<@&467800803315286046> and @Will - MD It looks like they aren't haveing the Warrior Dash in the same location for 2019. We should start talking about where we are going to do it this coming year.
where are the locations?
Would you guys say it's important to bulk first or cut?
I plan to start paying for a gym membership and go early in the morning
Are you chubby?
Yep, depends on your body type and prior experience.
If you're generic skinny fat, I'd recommend a clean bulk. Aim for 3-4 lbs a month at most. That's just me tho.
If you're fat, cut. If you're skinny fat, bulk and then cut. If you are skinny, bulk forever.
(Bulking Forever!)
Bulk forever for me then!
So just got out of surgery, I'm six weeks from actually lifting again 😱
😩
What is better for getting bigger, PPL or 5x5? And what rep scheme to focus on?
5x5 is geared for linear strength gain with a big focus on the compound lifts. Most PPL routines are a mix of strength & hypertrophy with a focus on compound lifts and classic bodybuilding lifts... Do your research and figure out what goals you have and proceed from there.
If you are a newbie, either routine is going to give you great results. If one of your major goals is looking and feeling good/healthy, I'd recommend PPL... that's my personal preference.
Does anybody here use preworkout or coffee?
I do but not constantly.
Nitroflex
If I train after work, preworkout. Usually I train first thing in the morning, and someone on here (please feel free to remind me who if you see this!) made the point that you shouldn't need extra energy first thing in the morning if you got enough rest. I do usually have coffee before going to work though.
