I'm the baby child...I'm spoiled when it comes to situations like this lol. Only thing I ask my mom for was just to go half on it, didn't want her paying the entire monthly bill plus I'll put it to good use.

Watch out for sodium. Also, don't know if they're roasted in oil, but I'm not a fan of veggie oils, so I'd avoid them if that's the case, but if you get em dry roasted and not too salty, no issues with them.
You're talking day of, right? It's harder to trace back, but, from personal experience, if I had a bad night's sleep or ****** day in terms of nutrition, that sometimes affects workouts 2-3 days later more than the workout the day after. Consistency in terms of nutrition and hydration even on your offdays is key
Good call. Gloves suck. Amazon for chalk. Bodybuilding.com only sells liquid chalks, which aren't as good as block chalk. I did buy some LiquidGrip liquid chalk from BB.com and it's alright - better than nothing but not as good as real life chalk.
Improved grip - compared to gloves, don't think it works your forearms more. Compared to straps though, you'll definitely hit the forearms harder.
Please don't. The whole workout vlog and blog thing is oversaturated with people saying the same thing. Unless your perspective is extremely unique, don't bother.it came when I ordered some gloves from BB.com I got some Phase8 I may try tomorrow or use when I run out of Vanilla Dymatize.
And Zyzz I like trying stuff to make my own decision wheter its good or not. Once I get in shape where I want to be I plan on starting an Online Vlog/Site about my personal interest and hopefully I can land a Supplement sponsorship
Yo is this actually good? I keep on reading this especially in the paleo context ("bulletproof coffee") but haven't gotten around to trying it. I only really drink iced coffee but may have to try a hot coffee with coconut oil at some point.

Back day.
Deadlifted for the 2nd time in months. Worked up to 335 x 4. Could've done more, but didn't want to overdo it. Figure if I get into the groove by consistently doing them again, I shouldn't have much trouble moving 4 plates.

You're cutting right? You won't put on muscle mass while in a caloric deficit. Quick glance at this workout seems like it's too focused on hypertrophy, which isn't gonna happen when you're cutting. I understand you're limited by a lack of barbells, but I would still focus on heavier weights, less reps, not too many sets, rather than this amount of volume. I'll post some articles/papers tomorrow supporting this point.

I recommend Craze. I've been beasting on it. It works almost as good as Jack3d but prolly less deadly.

Bruh I went to that Sports Club LA a few years back for a bball tourney, that gym is BEAUTIFUL. I remember it even had an outdoor theater and bar on the roof.
I still can't see the justification of Equinox being like $300 a month though.
If I had a choice I'd pick Chelsea Piers. The usual gym stuff plus indoor track and tons of basketball courts. Beautiful scenery outside. And the honeys in there:

Theoretical question: Could you use baby powder as a chalk substitute since it keeps your hands dry as well?

yea i tried them yesterday too....not bad. It tends to focus more on the legs and puts less stress on the back as far as i can see. Im also certain i can do more weight like this.

Legs day today.....shooting for 2 working sets at 315....4-5 reps a set. IT WILL HAPPEN
Back up to 184lbs though
I was sick and struggling to eat for a week and dropped to 180. My goal is to get to 190lbs. Im 6 foot btw.
My chest is by far my weakest asset. Has a lot to do with mechanics i think. I have long arms. But I am going to try to get some chest in on shoulder days and hit it 2 times a week to see if that helps stimulate growth.

True 8 rep sets are pretty mid range, but I'm thinking more in the 3-5 rep range. Also, I'm commenting on your overall volume as well - seems quite high for someone cutting.
Equinox is like $130 a month. My brother's a member and I go on guest passes on occasion. Nice place. For me, first and foremost, I'm willing to pay for convenience. ASide from that, I'd prefer to pay high $ for a gym with good equipment relevant to my goals rather than just really nice interior design.Bruh I went to that Sports Club LA a few years back for a bball tourney, that gym is BEAUTIFUL.

Frank Yang has a video where he uses protein powder as a substitute. Don't really see why you wouldn't get chalk though - it's super cheap.

I got told by one of my friends last night via text that she doesn't like the new me bc I never go out and all I do is workout. At times I do miss going out and having a good time but this is serious business to me and I know once I hit my goal that stuff is still gonna be there....she'll get over it haha.

Forget her and her thoughts. Tell her to come hang out with you in the gym if she wants to see you.
But yea, a little morning inspiration
