thread of getting sw0le

i was highly recommended compression pants/shorts after i pulled a groin

i just started wearing them but they do seem like they offer a lot of support plus they keep me warm

without them my body stays very cool and i think this contributes to injury in my opinion

i wear sweats or running shorts over them depending on how cold it is

my gf is really into the tights under shorts look... i get it for like, running outside on cold days but that's about it

there is a man in the new gym, he reminds me a lot of this other guy i know from work, he wears shorts and tights. but the tights are like mid-calf length. also axe body spray. also he matches the shoes to other clothing items. also he LOVES to do some kind of reverse neck curl thing? like he really wants to have a strong neck. and he has some sort of neck curl harness? mostly he just puts a plate on the back of his head and curls it. tracer is going to love this one when he wakes up.

like this thing? http://exrx.net/AnimatedEx/Sternocleidomastoid/CBNeckFlexion.gif

oh god. neck curls

one kind of silly imo exercise i've started doing is barbell hip thrusts, for the boo tay

i lol'd for realz

is this an actual thing? i assume he wants a nice fat and thick neck or is it a trapezius exercise?

kinda wanna try it now just for s&g

oh i have heard of these. i came across this on my many research rabbit-holes. somebody was swearing by them for i dunno stability and blah blah. i think literally any imaginable exercise has at least one very long article illustrated with random muscle-dude stock photography where the author argues that it is actually the most important exercise ever. "if you can only do one lift... make it reverse neck curls"

I LOVE THESE

it is like that thing but not on the cable machine, he likes to do them curling in the other direction too

Woman next to me squatting 205, looks like she weighs about 100. Makes me feel ashamed.

the last time i went to the gym was last wednesday. i got a cold, then i had work, and now i'm about to embark on a work marathon. but my belt came. i have the shortest waist! but i love it. i'm going to sleep with it.

Squatted 245x3 tonight, still low for my body weight and experience but at least I’m finally making progress again

you're pretty humble for a BEAST

You know I mean pounds not kilos right

220, 221, whatever it takes

Deadlift hit 305, I think my prior best was 295.

oh, lol according to this thread I have hit that number multiple times before.

i squatted again and my knee felt ok but i flew into a rage when a "trainer" came and told me to look up when i squat, which literally hurts my neck, and to keep my back more upright. do these people not understand the skeleton. it is physically impossible for me to squat like that. jk i didn't fly into a rage i just said "ok" and went about my business

she was short too so she definitely did not understand my plight

looking up + back upright + heavy bar across upright back = falling over backwards surely?

or the bar rolling off

ripp calls it out specifically as bad form, neck should be neutral/in the same plane as the rest of the spine, which means staring at a spot on the ground like 2m in front of you

i confess i like to look down even closer at times it just feels right but yeah, looking up or even forward messes me up and sitting too upright makes me tip on my heels. and i want to ACTUALLY these ppl but they are experts so it is a waste of time.

lol

there is an unending supply of people who not only think your back needs to be "upright" when squatting but feel the need to share this misapprehension

I can’t even imagine looking up while squatting. Low bar was a game changer for me because you can actually bend forward. Trainer said some people just aren’t built for high bar.

hello its me

the bad skeleton

I was grabbing things from the fridge aisle at trader joe’s and had my headphones on, as is my want, but still definitely overheard the young woman next to me say, “he’s a muscle man” and flex. 💪💁‍♀️
