When I left the gym my arms were destroyed. I was shaking trying to hold my phone lol. 30 minutes later they feel like I never went to the gym today. You could still be right though, just hate I feel so fresh.
I hate my arms. It makes me want to quit working out and just go back to being fat and lazy.
Im kinda like that too although I get a much better pump after taking a break. I feel like that about my legs. They wont grow and Ive tried everything!
Looks solid to me. Dips and weighted dips are some of my favorites. Triangle hand placement pushups putting your nose to your hands is a great finisher as well! Just keep at it. Your arms will grow!
If your at a commercial gym just use the machine where you can add weight to offset some of your own. That or a seated dip press machine. Both are good options
Iāve been doing those at this gym. I do a few sets of body weight dips. Iām usually good for a couple sets of 10, then I use the weighted assist to failure a couple times, then move on to seated dip machine.
I assume you are referring to your estrogen. My wife and I joke about that I have a better idea how she feels during that time of the month than any body else LOL When I first went on I had an out of body experience once. Now I see it coming and control it (with chocolate obv).
So far I can tell when itās low, but Iāve never been able to feel when it gets high. Itās probably never been high . I definitely understand what my wife goes through more now, hormones aināt no joke!
Any time Iām struggling to gain weight I do a 3 (admittedly kind of stupid) things.
1: I normally drink 1 litre of Gatorade when I workout, when I want to gain weight, I add juice crystals to it. Thatās 200 calories I donāt notice consuming at all.
2: 2 tablespoons of olive oil before bed. Almost 250 calories, and you can down it like taking a shot even if youāre so full you canāt take another bite of food.
3: if you really wanna go for it: doughnut before every workout
Iām gonna dissent here, my man. Anything that isnāt a long term plan for success is going to lead to misery here. Youāre a self-admitted life long fat kid. Eating like a fat kid to gain weight at all costs is going to lead to being a fat kid.
What we need to do is find you a program that youāre going to stick with, and have you run it while eating a solid diet. Rice and bland chicken every day is unsustainable. Rotating turkey chili, ground beef meat sauce, steak, salmon, and chicken - thatās a way to keep moving.
Crash diets donāt last for people who put on weight quickly, and extreme bulks only pile fat on. No shortcuts here.
4 sets to failure neutral grip
4 sets to failure pronated grip
Lat pull down
Wide grip 4 sets nice and slow
Neutral close grip 4 sets nice and slow
Lateral raises 2 sets to failure
Rear delt fly DBās 2 sets to failure
Calf raises. Just a touch, tomorrow is leg day.
Got to see a real life ninja!!! So much cringe. I really didnāt think this stuff went on in gyms and yāall were all crazy. Dude was throwing kicks and doing fight poses in ever mirror. The look on his face, Iād bet my paycheck he was thinking ādamn Iām one bad MFāer⦠these guys mirrinā.
Got to see some typical douche bags too, every day is arm day type. These guys had nice arms, but I was twice as wide
Currently drinking a 1100 calorie protein shake and then fixing to down some mega stuff Oreos!!!
Another thing Iām kinda proud of. even though Iām not doing a whole laundry list of exercises, Iām in there killin it with no breaks or sitting there playing on my phone. Gym was packed when I got there and I left before any of the people who were there before me. Lots of intensity
