I used to do strength training but now I don't I looked much better back then. my youngest is sporty and plays rugby. good old 10 years olds smashing into each other my 12 year on the other hand likes skyrim and watching tech review vlogs next year is first year of highschool. I am going to make him do strength traning if he does nothign else. i'll pay for a personal trainer if I have to. he's got kinda awkward posture etc and strength training can help a lot, its hard to stand up straight when you're weak but if your core is used to lifting much more than your body weight, then keeoing your body straight is easy. plus more likely to be a hit with the chicks if hes got a bit of muscle going. I am banking on him thanking me ten years down the track for forcing him to do it lol

oh man I got one week before my vaccine marinates fully and then I can go back to the gym. I'm so loving sick of super high volume sand bag workouts and want to squat with something on my back again.

my gym shut down accounts for covid, but i still cancelled and had to remake/resign a new contract they reopened in may. i reenabled this last week and went on friday. i am fully vaxed for a month+ and they have a mask and distancing policy during-and-post workout was probably the best i've felt in a year, though my core and legs are still shot, today, Monday

I'm stalling out at around 200 pounds for a 1 rep bench max. My primitive bro brain has wanted 225 for years now (1 NFL combine rep) and its getting discouraging  Getting pretty into "builder" smoothies so maybe that will help (me get really fat)

i'm keeping this alive because i am absolutely annoying everyone i know to do exercise again since i've been on hiatus for a year today was arm day, i feel like a t-rex how anemic my bench is comparatively to squat/deadlifts, but got through it but i also think a lot of guys ONLY work on their arms/chest given how much more busy the dumbell section is than the racks are

maybe once i max out this dumbbell plates set i'll consider joining a gym, but i'm already limited by what i can do without a rack honestly i need some instruction, i've probably picked up some bad habits going solo over the years but hey, at least my wrists are starting to stretch out, getting a bit more comfortable with front squats (all of 80lbs total tho lmao)

yea I could barely do any front squat with the clean grip (or anything really) because of the wrist shenanigans. it's a show off exercise anyway... right? Like, what does it offer that normal squats don't? Ive never understood that so maybe this is a great thread to ask in!

KoRMaK posted:yea I could barely do any front squat with the clean grip (or anything really) because of the wrist shenanigans. Iirc they both target roughly the same muscle groups although the front squats focus a bit more on the anterior muscles vs the posterior muscles that are activated when you do back squats.

weighted squats kind of scare the poo poo out of me for no good reason i've been tempted to get some stuff to do weights at home (especially since things will be opening up soon and no doubt the used market will flood as people go back to gyms) since i don't want to have to go to a gym ever really

i shoot for 6x8-12 and always trying to go heavier when i have the weights to do so honestly it's probably the eating holding me back, i'm terrified of getting fat so i just can't make myself eat more than what feels "safe" so i pretty much stay the way i am, especially since i have a little extra fat and there's always that voice in the back of my head saying you need to lose weight fatass
