IC Stop Making Excuses and Let's Get Healthy Thread

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

So afteemr three years of kettlebell training i have came to that conclusion.

Once you want to wield 50% of your bodyweight you need get really stronger in the shoulders, lats, abs and arms. That means that i will have to go back to the gym in order to target the shoulders and back region.

What u swinging now...all homo

Still on that 88 lbs kettlebell. Its more than half my weight. In order to snatch, clean and TGU it i must be able to do a clean one arm pushup and shoulder press 90 lbs and deadlift 180 lbs minumum.

I have to go back to the gym.

What kinda protein do yall use?? I've been using Whey Isolate, but ive been considering switching it up to a veggie based protein. Found some at costco that is Pea/Hemp Protein and seems to be made with some decently clean ingredients and its decently priced. Would love to see other ideas though. Sorry if ive asked this already.

Me personally I don't give a shit, I'm old school, Protein is Protein

Any of yall mess with complexes for your workout?

 

[BIGG WILL]

This Morning:

Warm Up on Treadmill into Progressive Sprints.

5 Move DB Ladder Complex. 8 reps down to 4 w/ 30 secs rest in between w/ Push Ups after each set.(OHP, Front Squats, Rows, RDL, Biceps Curls)

5 40+ feet Farmer Walks (1 overhead carry) Push Ups after each carry.

Wanted something hard, but short and sweet.

Ill go heavier on the weight next time, and skip the sprints.

Sorry bruh. Add some battle rope. Yesterday i was doing some between COD WW2 games. 7 hours laters i still feel that my soul has been snatched lol. Cant wait to mix kettlebell swings and some battle rope exercises.

Ima need some DMX and Metallica playslist

High intensity core exercises, mainly focusing on balance (handstands, planches) or just get in dip position and swing your legs back and forth...u said u have a bad acl so id recommend u not try to hold it

Man count your calories, and these food makers are getn very desperate now, everything dipped in chocoloate, cereal with only marshmallows, and fastfood places are just combining chips with menu items- locos tacos, cheetos mac n cheese and fritos burritos..every time I walk into the grocery store i see an unhealthy combination...and these calories on labels are misleading- knowing the single pacakge has 3.5 servings...there should be a law where individual packages should show all calories, and let the consumer divide up the portions. Aint no1 eating 1/3 of a grab bag ...man watch what u eat...please

 

[pimped_out_red]

And my last issue is with the commercials...

So in all these fast food, beer, and Pillsbury commercials they show skinny fit people eating and having a good time...this is a soo wack, cuz if u sit outside in a drive thru u will lose your appetite watching what "body types" walk in/out...not only are they hiding what ppl who eat that crap daily really look like but they're trying to advertise to the fit people who dont eat it...i alwayz wondered why the mcdonalds commercials dont show hood niccas in the commercials, but instead show natural hair hippy black ppl, well its because the natural hippy looking ppl are usually #woke and aint eating that shit....advertisers aint wasting money on customers they already have, they are making commercials for the customers they want...

Havent been doing any deadlifts since hurting my back 8 months ago. Started back doing a session a week and hit 375 pretty easy on week 3. Lower back still be a little iffy some days, but I cant wait to dead 4+ plates again.

Question for yall more advanced lifters.

I repped 225 on the Bench 9 times yesterday. That puts my 1 rep max at 292. You guys think think I can hit 315 by the end of next month, or will my progress be a lot slower than Im hoping for?

 

[BIGG WILL]

Another question. I can run, sprint, hop and jump w/o a problem. I can even front squat with no issues, but as soon as I try to back squat I get a pretty decent pain in my left knee. Anyone ever exp. this?

I’m not advanced but that’s almost exactly where I was at at my peak, how much do you weigh? I think it’s doable if you up your calorie intake and rest properly, and you deadlift a lot more than I was when I was putting that up so you got more power than me but if I was trying to accomplish that and say you benched today that leaves about 5 more bench days before January 30th (if you rest every week in between), if you repped out 225 today next week the 26th I would go light and do about 5 sets of 5 working my way up to 195 and finish with a set of 20 (or at least 185), on the 2nd I’d go heavier on the incline and do dumbbell work on the bench, 9th I would go for 305, 16th rep out 225 which you should be at around 12-14 compared to 9 now, 23rd if you were able to get 195 20 Times move up to 200, if it was 185 and it felt easy move up to 195 but get that rep of 20 in, then go for 315 on the 30th

 

[its....JOHN B]

My opinion that’s how I would approach it
