The downtown YMCA is too sick.
Are you the big brown guy that works out at the Langara YMCA? Quote:

Langara YMCA - A lot of old people and Langara Students
Downtown YMCA - A ton of noobs getting in your way between sets, and a lot of hot girls.

AME I would suggest more sets rather than changing exercises. Do 5 sets in the 6-8 range but DON'T go to failure weight in the first 3 sets. Do enough weight that you feel like you could do 2 more reps and that's all. For the 4th and 5th set go to failure weight. Don't get caught up on "Well I should be lifting 75lbs cuz that's what I did last time" Just listen to your muscles and adjust the weights accordingly.
Berz out.

Been offline for a while, so Merry Xmas fuckers!
Put on 3lbs in turkey and potato weight over the last couple days so I'll be going beast mode on my back today topped off with some deadlifts. My hernia is finally healed up 100%! Time to start prepping for summer  | |

Merry Xmas bro
Thanks for the advice Berz. That will certainly increase my volume. May have to lower the weight a little to make sure I don't go to failure on 3rd set.

DT YMCA is awesome. So many hot chicks and the equipment is new. But it will get busy during rush hours.
Langara YMCA is busy too but manageable. Just avoid rush hour times and you'll do fine. Gyms with a pool are the best. Nothing beats a quick swim and sauna or steam room after a tough workout.

I just left after she told me the rates. It was ridiculous especially when most of their equipment needs upgrading. Posted via RS Mobile | |

What are a couple new exercises you brahs have added recently that you're mclovin?
For me i've made quite a few changes and additions lately. some of my favorite additions are:
Shoulders: arnold presses for higher reps. build way more pump than regular db presses
Shoulders: incline bench rear delt flys. focussing on only using rear delt. I dont think Ive ever hit that muscle specifically before.
Back: smith machine barbell rows. can focus specifically on the squeeze at the top
Back: close neutral grip pull downs. focus on the stretch at the top and focus on pulling your elbows down to your sides, not your hands to your chest
Legs: leg extensions after squats to blow my legs out. real real good for bottom of the quads. squeeze at the top of your last reps for bonus burn

lats:
-heavy close grip lat pulldown palms facing you, slow negative, let your lats stretch at top
-barbell rows standing over a bench, shoulder width grip palms facing away from you, bringing bar to your waist, bar touching the bench each rep, pre exhausting the biceps works pretty well
tris:
-closegrip bench press pyramid set ending last set with 3-4 heavy reps
-JM press
-skullcrush from pins feels pretty good & u can go heavy but kind of faggy to do in the squat rack
quads: 20 rep squat challenge once a month Posted via RS Mobile | |
