[m boiz]

Heres a little video for the guys struggling to put on weight, Jay was and still is a beast and knows a lot about nutrition. I watch his stuff daily.



In before bro science comments as well from guys that cant bench 3 plates.

I remember Larry Wheels saying that the hardest part in BB was the nutrition, not the training itself.

Feeling like ol dude with the shoe choices at the gym

Musta been amateur hour. I keep at least 3 pairs of Metcons and 3 pairs Romaleos 2/3's in a basket in the trunk at all times, plus some slip ons and some random Nikes.

Any recommendations for good weightlifting shoes ?

Oly lifts, OHP, or Squats: Romaleos 2's or Romaleos 3 XD's (depends on whether you want something more stable/heavier or lighter/more flexible, respectively). I'd say this is the right answer, regardless of your ankle mobility (makes a difference at heavier weights).

General lifting: Metcons, any XF or cross training shoe, etc.

Deadlifts: Sabo Deadlifts, wrestling shoes, or deadlift slippers. Used to pull in Chucks and switch to Sabos, difference is like night and day. Again, the difference at heavier weights is noticeable. If you pull 500+ you will be able to tell. Don't know anyone irl who pulls in socks (not allowed, kinda grimey) but some people like it.

 

[mplsdunk]

Your gyms have too many rules. I pull in socks. It’s not any grimier than using a machine everyone sweats on or a barbell people touch with their sars and Ebola hands.

I kinda agree, but since most people are kinda gross anyways, I guess this one makes sense. Nobody's gonna be mopping the platforms after every session.

No doubt. If making it to the gym is the hardest part for you then you aren't gonna make it.

 

[dman14]

was thinking about getting one of these. anybody own one of these for their home gym?
i'd probably could use chairs or something similar at home

 

[diabolicaldeezy]

thought that was a walker

 

[dman14]

thought that was a walker

actually was thinking about using my grandma's old walker, but not sure if it could withstand the weight

 

[mnctch]

I’d rather have the legs & physique of the guy on the left.

That’s why no one will remember your name

It don't feel right if I deadlift with shoes on.

hit 315 on the squat for 5 . kinda a PR for me since it's been over 2 years since ive done that type of weight.
especially for reps. @mboiz program is the truth

How do you come up with these W/Os?

 

[Tank Top Master]

How do you come up with these W/Os?

Just basic nSuns 531 LP (6 day squat vers.) with random/personalized assistance.

Was going to do it with @SupremeBeing5, but since he mighta gone AWOL I might move on to something else.
