Couldn’t find a cardio chat so I’m coming here
@Jawa You're better off with swimming for a variety of reasons. Most notable being the real lack of impact upon the joints (Although shoulder injuries can occur without proper stretching, hydration, etc) compared to running, since unless you're running on very soft surfaces with the right kind of shoes, long term running will take a toll on your knees, hips, ankles, back, etc. Swimming also incorporates more muscle groups, which equals a larger caloric use. However, swimming isn't very easy to do for long periods of time when compared to running. A good middle ground would be long-distance biking if you want to stay on land.
Interesting thanks man
@Jawa Swimming makes your lungs way stronger too, because they must work under the pressure of water. Also, what does RTFing mean @Suomi Stronk
Rep To Failing @Pat-MA
As in doing as many reps as possible before your body literally just goes "nope"

I just got off a 3 month 5x5 cycle, and am 2 weeks into a 10x10 cycle.
I'm surprisingly not sore.

Row
Squat
5x5
OH Press
Stiff Leg Deadlift
5x10
Lateral raise
Rear raise
Bicep Curl
3 days per week
Heavy taping for heavy lifting
@Suomi Stronk I've never taped wrists for lifting.
Is that better than velcro wrist wraps?
@Tyler0317 Haven't done velcro, but I can definitely say they help when you're doing heavy bench press plus an absolute insane amount of dips and pushups afterwards
Why not just use wrist wraps
Never👏🏻skip👏🏻leg👏🏻day 👏🏻
First day in the gym did an hour and 10 of legs with the boys
Am I supposed to have baby deer legs?
That's the goal lol
bamby, is that you?
The day after leg day is always the best
And by best I mean absolute hell
some call this LIGHT WEIGHT BABY
WOOO WOOO
I couldn’t walk correctly for most of last week because of leg day
Really great feeling but probably overdid it a bit- still working on that
Anybody good at math? I'm trying to develop a formula that can account for metabolic fatigue based on %of1rm and setXrep, over the span of days.
This is alot for my peabrain
I'm 3.5 weeks into a 10x10 program, 3x per week(program is above)
I officially missed my first workout last Wednesday, I was so fatigued I couldn't get up for the gym. I then slogged thru Friday's workout. I couldn't put up the weight for 10 reps anymore, and I needed to take abnormal rest times between sets just to complete the workout.
While I'm physically not sore, I think I have officially fatigued my nervous system.
Today I went back to 5x5 and a much more modest routine.
On the upside, i can report that 10x10 was absolutely useful for hypertrophy. My triceps, chest and upper back have become noticeably larger.
Eat salt and fructose 👌
I went slightly salt deficient for a minute, realized it, then sprung back hard.
@Deleted User I'll add some salt to my diet, Thanks for the tip.. I'm on a low sugar diet, fructose is a nogo for me.
gg
Hmm, nice Pat!
Thanks man
Why does he look Italian
225 for 4x8 on front squats and 405 for 4x8 on deadlifts today with almost no pain. Tore my mcl and pcl 3 months ago
Bad knees is no excuse, fam

I've recently been making a point to fix my squat for the best knee tracking possible, to avoid any of that stuff down the line
