Workout: What did you do today?

[grindy]

So glad I work out in my basement now. It's pretty pleasant there even when it's hot outside. In my old apartment the equipment was in my office and during the summer I was sweating like a pig.

We're at 30c now for the next few days. In summer I train in the evenings cos in the shed you can add 5-10c to the temperature and it's just dangerous at that point. Anyway yes I'm sweating so much but I like to pose in the mirror and imagine myself on the beach, just came out of the sea and am all wet and the beach babes want me to enter them.

[Mindy]

used the gym machines for a bit, going back in a few hours.
going to try and start a streak of days at the gym in a row.
I normally just do chest and upper body stuff but last night I used the leg lift machine and going to build my legs up;
going back to the gym this morning, and doing those greens mixes every 12 hours

Just be a little careful. For some of the vitamins, one dose of that green stuff exceeds the recommended daily amount. Doubling that, you can get a lot.

Some vitamins will build up in your fat stores and can have a toxic effect. Imo, stick to daily or less.

It's so hot guys. When I go for my 3 mile walk I'm gonna stop off at the park and do some pullups in the play section.



Looks like this lolz.

Did my drop set at work and the pump is cray, yo.

Btw, the bench presses I do are at an incline, but I've been thinking of switching to decline. Or maybe incline, flat, decline every week?

What do my fellow beef brothers think? 🤔

Honestly, that looks pretty decent 😄 You'll look like a predator, but who cares.

I want a swing bar for the garden now.

Not gonna make a big difference imo. Incline will work a bit more front delt. I prefer flat bench myself. You could also just alternate each time you do it. Just go with whatever you feel like I say. Flat bench you will be able to lift more, BTW.

I've never done decline so can't comment on that.

Will be evening time so no kids about. Could be some chavs drinking cans/nitrous oxide though.

Wow, you weren't kidding. I tried decline bench presses and it was so much easier! I'm sure the difference is easily 10kgs. So that needs some calibration.

Incline hits upper chest and front delts a bit more. Decline might hit the lower chest a bit more but I've heard its benefits are negligible. I'd stick with flat if you bench once a week or switch between flat and incline if you have two bench days a week.
Once you get stronger decline anyway starts to be pretty awkward due to stability issues since you can't use your legs that well to support your body.

I used to really like decline, it's simply easier than the other ones because the range of motion is rather restricted. With time I switched entirely to flat.

Incline is an exercise I don't fuck with. The risk of injury is significantly higher from what I understand and I just never got into it to a point where I was confident about my form.

IMO do decline, it's great.

You could switch to dips instead but you probs already do tbf.

Incline definitely feels a bit more awkward and I prefer to do it with dumbbells. It's generally pretty safe though if the load managmenet is done properly and one doesn't jump in with crazy weights. Which can probably be said for pretty much every exercise, I guess.

Yeah, dips are a great substitution and an overall great exercise. My elbows don't like it though so I don't have it in my program.

[Mindy]

been walking in the mornings the last few days

[Guybrush]

Trying to add some things to my program, chest and shoulder flys. Need calibration.

I'd love to do dips and I have pushup handles that kinda work when put on our living room chairs, but I'd like to find something a little higher up for a deeper dip. Haven't found anything yet.
