I highly recommend Gi jiu-jitsu for improving grip/arm strength.

Haven't lifted in like a week thanks to getting a horrible fever for a few days, looking forward to hitting the gym and being weak as hell now that i'm almost 100% again.
Really gotta hammer some cardio as since quitting Muay Thai my fitness has gone to poo poo I'm struggling through ashort warm-ups at Wrasslin class and can no longer get through a 5k run (I literally never run unless i randomly get the urge but have always been aboe to manage at least 5k without much issue).

I've switched to wearing really long socks (think volleyball socks) nearly all the time, and I gotta tell ya I really enjoy it.

they're like pushup bras for calves

I've been doing this for years, there's just something that feels really comfy about it.

Looks like I'm going to be taking the position of personal trainer for a friend who wants to learn to lift as she can't do much cardio due to injury, I'm not sure about this to be honest I'm hardly the picture of health and fitness.

Holy hell that first day squatting after a few weeks off results in some brutal DOMS did a few sets of 5 at 95kg after a warm up yesterday and now my thighs and asscheeks are on fire.

Any UK swolegoons looking to increase protein intake should check out LIDL they have a high protein bread roll in the bakery that has 27g per roll and costs 29p

They actually taste okay to.

My lovely gym has been saying it was getting new equipment via promo e-mails for a few weeks now, yesterday I got an e-mail saying the equipment had arrived and included a NEW SQUAT RACK, no big deal but it'd be a nice addition.


I went there today and it turns out it was a loving smith machine

What's a good cheap pre-workout for boosting energy? This diet combined with the heatwave we're having completely wipes me out....

I enjoy squats and have found having strong legs immensely helpful when it comes to performing certain pro wrasslin moves effectively

This has no purpose in real life but it's loving fun to hoist a big dude into your back and launch them off.

I've dropped about 20 pounds over the past 2 months or so and as good as that is my lifts have all dropped by about 20kg I feel so weak.

Have you been eating nothing for 8 weeks? How in the world do you lose 2+ pounds a week.

Probably a lot of water weight..... Other than that about 1600 calories a day and running 3-4 times a week in addition to lifting and occasional wrassling training
