Great day squatting today, despite the fact that I overdosed on vitamin C and was shitting piss for hours beforehand. lol
Also saw so many stereotypical commercial gym stuff today - tomorrow we’re going to play gym bro bingo. Will update later with our rules once we’ve made them.
So here are our rules for Gym Bro Bingo:
Drinking protein shake in the gym
Ridiculous and unnecessary plyometric training
60kg deadlift for shit reps
Straps on any exercise
Kipping pull ups
Chicken legs / Johnny Bravo syndrome
Teenage DYEL curling
Anyone says ‘X exercise is bad for you’
Total butchery of a movement
Someone copies your warm up
Someone copies your exercise / tries to out-lift you
Gloves on any exercise
Unnecessarily wearing a belt
Pussy pad for squats
INSTA-WIN: Curls in squat rack
Someone does three different curl variations in one workout
Half squats
Anyone says ‘it’s all you bro’
You overhear completely ridiculous / incorrect broscience
Anyone uses a Ronnie Coleman quote
You see anyone posing in the mirror
Naked old man in the locker room
Loitering between sets
dis gon b gud
18th Sept

Calf raises

No PR here tonight. Might be because of my unusual constant fatigue (which I’m gonna see a doctor about, hopefully get a sleep study and a blood test done).
Also might be cos I had a massage on my quads and IT band today. W/e
