Fixed dat typo tho

2018-10-17 16:50:53 UTC  

I've been trying to up the protein and eat more lately so hopefully that helps out

2018-10-17 16:50:56 UTC  

And some people naturally progress at certain lifts slower than others. It just depends.

2018-10-17 16:53:04 UTC  

It just seems like I can't get to 3 plates on squats. Makes me unmotivated as all hell. Feels bad man

2018-10-17 16:53:51 UTC  

Might just be an upper body gym bro

2018-10-17 17:35:11 UTC  

@Felix 3 plates squat is pretty gnarly bro

2018-10-17 17:35:17 UTC  

Gotta work for it

2018-10-17 18:33:43 UTC  

I've been squating 6sets of 4 then been doing weighted lunges. Probably should do some more deadlift work.

2018-10-17 21:22:56 UTC  

At what point in the lift are you getting stuck?

2018-10-18 05:16:19 UTC  

Had MRI yesterday and doctor cleared me for lifting and running after two weeks of rest. Returned to the gym and set weights at what I had a month ago. A setback but I am so happy I could keep progressing. We're all gonna make it.

i’m going to switch from bike to stairmaster tomorrow

2018-10-24 23:04:50 UTC  

I have trouble with pull ups on account of my height (arm length) and weight. After two months serious lifting I can't even do one with good form. I noticed today my gym has a weight-assisted pull-up/dip machine. I'm doing to ditch dumbbell tricep kick backs and lat pull down (my form sucks) for use on this machine instead, and progressively lower counter-weight aide until I'm doing real pull-ups/dips.

2018-10-24 23:11:06 UTC  

Good plan

2018-10-24 23:11:25 UTC  

I worked my way up with that back in the day

2018-10-24 23:39:39 UTC  

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN how tall are you?

2018-10-24 23:55:10 UTC  

empire state

2018-10-25 00:07:30 UTC  

@Deleted User 6'9", although I may have shrunk to 6'8" due to manual labor and portaging canoes

2018-10-25 00:25:00 UTC  

Just went to the gym for the first time in a year. I have like 0 muscle mass and a joint disorder so everything felt really awkward

2018-10-25 00:31:37 UTC  

@NITRODUBS take it slow and light. Work on mobility and form, work up in weight

2018-10-25 00:33:02 UTC  

My boyfriend is pretty knowledgeable on fitness im probably gonna have to get his help for form lmao

2018-10-25 05:57:00 UTC  

this shit cracks me up

2018-10-25 15:37:40 UTC  

@Parsifal keep on the bike, just turn up the intensity. Wear a heart rate monitor to make your efforts objective. Aim for a target heart rate or above for target time duration.

2018-10-27 00:32:37 UTC  

is there a fitness server on slack

2018-10-27 01:25:54 UTC  

@Pat-MA I believe there is

2018-10-27 04:07:02 UTC  

There is not, we have a few channels for it on Mercury.

2018-10-27 04:07:19 UTC  

So we can keep this server for now, and then just use Mercury at that time.

2018-10-28 19:03:15 UTC  

Just got the women’s server to add a fitness section because I figured most men and woman exercise a little differently/ have different goals. Plus it’s more comfy for women to post progress pictures and such in a female exclusive area. I’ll probably still direct a lot of my fitness questions here tho until the women’s server gets a little more active

2018-10-28 19:08:48 UTC  

@NITRODUBS yeah good call
