STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[Beruseruku Desu]

I really appreciate the follow. I'll be posting a bunch more material. But man, even though my goal was to put on more solid size, I'm afraid I wont make the heavy weight class which is 225lbs max. Right now I'm waking up around 238lbs and that's after 2 consecutive low carb days. Unless I drop a good 10lbs or so water during these next 3 weeks, may have to compete in the super heavyweight class against the big boys

do you scope out your competition on social media to see who you're going to compete against?

my friend is competing for the first time in men's physique later this year. hes been eyeing who is competition is gonna be cause he wants to win 1st place lol.

Oh definitely. I'm always on IG searching hastags to see who's possibly competing. Alot of people keep it on the low though so you never know who's gonna show up to a local show.

Funny story...I was at a posing seminar a few weeks ago. This one dude kept quick glancing me. His face look real familiar and figured he was either at my last show or the show I coached a competitor. I looked through my previous contest pics and realized he was the guy that placed after me. I was thinking in my head "yea mofo, I'm back" . He's definitely doing the show I'm doing

Mad late...

Just found out my companys life insurance will pay my gym memberships. These workouts are about to hit a little different..

 

[ahat]

Bruh I had abdominal cramps the other day and I couldn’t even move.

I caught one in the locker room once and started cussing

Old man beside me said son you ok? I said ya ya ill be alright. He said good cuz i cant lift you up

 

[Mark Antony]

Calf cramps are crazy too depending on when and how you get them. Hit the treadmill after a workout then outta nowhere both cramped up, don't know how I managed not to fall.

 

[DonRafa]

you guys ever wake up to a foot cramp in the middle of the night? legit thought the world was ending

 

[mplsdunk]

Nah, just feels like someone stabbed a knife through my hamstring sometimes.

washed boys.

I might have to try some knee sleeves too, left knee has been hurting out of no where the day after I squat.

I’m 32, gonna have to put me down by 40.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

I can’t lift without knee sleeves. Hurts too much lmao. Knee sleeves to me are like magic.

what brand and thickness you have? I wanna try.

I use SBD.The new hype in the powerlifting community are the Stoic knee sleeves though.

I bought them but since they sold out they are on back order. They’re also cheaper than the SBD and supposedly just as good/if not better

they have them on amazon. I’ll probably give them a try.

Anybody following the Arnold Classic?

 

[kn0wledgeable]

I've never caught a hamstring cramp. Hope I never experience it. I've woken up to charlie horses and woke up my wife from her sleep due to me waiting for the pain to pass. I got an ab cramp one day and I literally just laid on the floor without moving for 5 minutes haha

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

Definitely using xpel. Hopefully that drops most of the weight. Right now I'm having really bad stomach issues, especially with digestion and bloat. Hopefully I can correct it before things get worse and the body breaks down. My guess is that I'm getting to a malnutrition phase cause I cut alot of veggies out as it was making me gassy. I ordered some super food supps and I'm hoping that helps.

Didn't know you did a show...you got pics?

Yea it's @cliff_camp_training
Just put up my YouTube page also under the same name

 

[agoatnamedsally]

Probably Thor/other strongmen...

Russ is also a 5'6... Not saying he's not big, but I'm sure that plays a big part in sizing.

A hamstring cramp will bring you to the floor
