Gym selfies, weightlifting & fitness šŸ”„ (TW gym attire. Keep rules #6 and #7 in mind) (Part 1)

I would say you could add 30 pounds to your total but this is not an exact science… the resistance changes with maintenance of the machine and some other factors… it’s probably easiest to just track the weight plates you put on and go off of that number. The numbers don’t matter, the effort does :wink:.

Anybody got any advice for deload fatigue? I did a proper delaod this time, a whole week of easy ass sessions, whereas in the past I’d just 1/2 the volume. And I’m WEAK after this! I failed my sets on the first sesh back which is not sth that usually happens w me, and I feel like I can barely attempt to tackle leg day tomorrow.

How do I prevent this. I was trying to improve my rest but I might just go back to my old way of deloading then. Any experiences, guys?

Nutrition and sleep consistent? I mean are you eating the same amount during deload? Sooo many factors come into play here. If I were you I would deload the same way a few times before changing anything. It could just be a weird anomaly

Yes, I’ve been a good girl and really eating all my carbs. I’m defo eating the full amount, more than in the past, including during past deloads. Man I’m even facing the fear of getting fat which is a big deal, w my background. Sleep is an issue but it’s always been. It’s maybe a bit worse still, yeah, than usually.
Thanks for the advice!

Ur absolutely right in all honesty. Its the effort i put into it that counts :slight_smile:

So Im getting the gym back together after the move. I ordered and put together the smith machine/ cable machine. Worked out about an hour this morning it’s pretty smooth, not much you can’t use it for.
I’m also building the extra bedroom down there.
And I was able to muscle the aquarium down the steps, so as soon as I get it up and running I’ll have some company in the new dungeon.

It is. And after taking only roughly a month off, with the move and all, I feel ridiculously out of shape. Last night and this mornings workout was not fun. :rofl::rofl:. It’ll come back fast though

Hope everyone is killing it at the gym today!
