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

[wayniac211]

how much of your max strength do you think you lost by slimming out? was it ‘difficult’ for you to maintain that weight?

ton of max strength gone because i cut my food intake. I can still hit major weight when i WANT to but it involves 5-7 weeks maxing the fuh out almost everyday. im on cruise control past 5 yrs.

It was literally +110 degrees here in South Texas today.

After my basketball workout... we decided to go swimming in a hidden river in a jungle that is a 5 minute drive from my house. When I am there I feel like I am in Northern Mexico. Below is a video of me swinging off of a rope tied to a tree into the river. I am wearing my Nike Kyrie 7... in true NT fashion.

Having fun in the sun all summer.

haven’t supplemented with creatine in a couple weeks, don’t really notice a performance in the gym difference yet but i do feel less sharp mentally…supposed to take ≈ month or so to fully deplete to baseline/normal levels, just wanted to a reset of sorts

been off creatine for awhile. might restart again after I cut down significantly. running at 215 lbs. as of the moment. got to go down at 200 lbs. (realistic expectation).

There are a few rocks at the bottom... so I would rather be safe than sorry

6/6 again despite all odds with a mid-week cross country business trip Finally back at that point where I get excited to work out again because gainz (technically losses because I am trying to lose weight but you get it ).

Diet has probably been the most challenging part trying to juggle what/when I eat because I can't do my intermittent fasting all the time

interesting convo on a bunch of topics around some of the science of fitness/muscle building

pushed the 100s today and got 8 reps.

Since I can’t bench with a barbell I’ve been focusing heavy on the dumbbells these days.

idiot is lucky to have escaped with his life. unlike some people ego-tripping.

The title of that video, like you need clips on a Smiff machine or as if that has anything to do with why she go sent to the beyond.

Beruseruku Desu face block challenge

I didn’t get 8 though smh.

 

[datznasty]

I always do mine flat, then I immediately flip over and do unilateral bent over lat rows. I’m a try it slightly inclined

I’m not a fan of incline either, probably cause it’s harder than flat so I can’t do as much weight lol

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

I try to always do incline to hit the upper chest, which is harder to grow.

Your feet hit the bottom right after impact? That doesn't sound too safe if water is barely deep enough to be fully submerged. That does look fun as hell though. Hoping we get some warmer weather here soon as I'm ready for some summer activities like lazy river floating where there's a rope swing halfway down the river and also this log that's about ten feet above the water and maybe like 15-20 feet long where you try walking down as long as you can and it gets narrower as you get to the end.

 

[kenb504]

I will always prioritize flat bench on my chest days but I do at least hit incline twice a week & most of my accessory work on chest day is upper chest related

 

[Air Champa]

I've found floor presses to be much easier on the shoulder.


It's been fun weighing myself before and after doing cardio outside in this Texas heat. Usually I'll come home and have lost 3 pounds. Of course I'll put most of it back on when I start filling back up with water and a little food.
