Skipped this morn, wasnt feeling it! If something I have learned as I get older is, I know when I have not had enough rest! It's not doing much good feeling like a slug and doing a half butt work out! SO recovery day it is! Jason (racewayking) you have weinie fore arms
Coach T and I have been friends for 15 years. Best training partner I've ever had. That picture doesn't do any justice.
Hurry up and get rich, working for a living sucks. In the meantime I need a shirt for my new gym buddy.
You're slacking Mister!!! That's how it starts. First it's a day, then two and all of the sudden you haven't worked out in a month. I feel like I want to stay on the couch too but I will get up and train legs.
Kai Greene is currently one of, if not, the biggest men on the planet...obviously with a little pharmaceutical assistance, but he preaches nutrition and form. He never talks about weight. As much time as I spend in the gym, and with the myriad of wreckless 19 and 20 year old Marines that are pressured to fit the persona...they feel the need to rush their progress with heavy weight and zero form...or whatever form they think is correct, which is usually opposite of correct. I, having a vested interest in their personal well being, will, at every opportunity, let them know they are doing it wrong and inevitably will hurt themselves...and sometimes others..lol...but that's prolly slightly different than random joe and his daughter at planet fitness...I dunno...I think saying something in an effort to be helpful will be karmatic....even if not right away...cheers and happy lifting
Hey now, come back and talk to me when your 49 LOL When I skip a day I make up for it on another day ! I do 4-5 days a week and recover the others!! Yeah im getting old
Ain't that the truth. We have another fine example for that at the gym hahaha. It's XSport... biiig difference hahaha
There is a disconnect with Kai that not everyone sees. He does preach form and has a video pimping light weights but he has also slung heavy stuff around. Out of all of the current guys out there I still think Branch Warren has some of the sloppiest form in the business but lifts pretty heavy and has ridiculous size. I've hung out with a few top pros over the years, especially 12-15 years ago when I had a training partner trying to get his pro card. Form is great but the best usually lift heavy to very heavy weights. Jay Cutler lifts somewhat heavy, I got to see him at the gym a couple days while visiting a friend in Vegas a few years back and he is a big dude. Ron Coleman lifted massive weight and with solid form, training in the Texas heat. Ron was a massive guy back when he was in the game, massive. I also worked out with Chris Cormier years ago, somewhere around 1999-2000 if I remember and he didn't impress me at all. The dude I think that impressed me the most was Lee Priest, dude was short but damn strong and lifted pretty heavy. He trained in AZ with a guy named Mike Toth who is the biggest natural dude I have ever seen. When I was out there visiting my friend Dave we worked out amongst those two and same thing, solid form and heavy weight. If I ever move to AZ I have a standing invitation to train with Mike and will. I agree with solid form for the most part but there are times where it plays into a routine. Sometimes guys will slop weight down to focus on a slow Negative and it is great for building size. Some will also do heavy partial sets to get their body used to the initial shock of a heavy weight. My best gains have always come from doing a similar routine to Dorian Yates HIT workouts. Dorian's HIT to me is the best training philosophy, a warm up set and one to two sets super heavy to failure. Dorian was also a proponent of the Negative and some out of the ordinary moves.
