lol, polish guys in the gym are fukin hardcore man, i was training with one dude and he refused to put the stops on the end of the barbell, to stop the weights falling off. i guess to improve his balance and then only wanted me to help him lift the bar when he was literally about to drop it on his head. training with polish/slovakians >>>>>____

I dont rate them man in gym at all. They always on some next hype.. Just pure agression, Noise per rep. Guzzlin whatever shake/creatine/powder mix they can get their hands on.

[Corrigan]

Trust them man go innnnot about aesthetics with them, just about sheer POWERremember this 1 pole who said he was called "Pete" obviously Pudrowski or whatever, but he was an OGwould be benchin and i thought the bar would snapand 1 time we was doin lat pull down, my 1 rep max was a warm up for him. Then he did the whole machine for like 12 repsguy was NUTS

tbh i never put the stops in, safer without them.but yh eastern europeans go hard, dont f*ck with bs variations just pure power movements. they make up 75% of the clientele at the gym i go to, all strong guys.

wots wrong with that?

[Corrigan]

innit guy dnt have a scoobybet this guy is all beach muscle, wouldnt last a day doin real mans work on a building site

[djbmc]

personally i find them to be the most traditional, both in lifts and most likely to be the guys eating steak for breakfast, the creatine/magic powder type guys r normally the 20 something "get hench for summer" types./bus that's meant to come every 5 mins didn't turn up after a 20 min wait, by then the queue was massive so i jogged to the gym in the ice rocky 4 style, got there after 20 mins AT THE SAME TIME AS THE f*ck*ng BUS, at least i done my cardio tho, anyway i left my house at 10 this morning and didn't get back until 3.30 f*ck xmas shoppers and f*ck the shitty weather.

[Corrigan]

well thats margate for ya

[manuel]

I miss summer holidays being able to go to the gym every day WHEN I feel like. Too much Uni work and now the snow has effed everything up Determined to go more often after Christmas. Wanted to join for a month when I'm back home for Christmas now but for me to get good value for money I needed to train every possible day becuase Id lose a week as Im only home for 3. First day was going to be today and it was blizzards so not going to join now because it'll be a waste of money. Going to feel like sh*t when I get back to Uni having 3 weeks off. Unless I train around the house but it just aint the same.

[A Bit Better]

Doctor said I don't have any major ligament damage. Reckons I could've damaged an internal ligament and I should receive a referral in the next 2 months. Kinda long to wait but I'm gonna try running and sh*t and if I can do that then I'm OK with it. If I can't squat for a while then fine.

[Yuri]

I forgot to say thanks to Sho Khan for posting those Joe DeFranco mobility exercisesThey've been a big help, I do them most days now and don't get as much stiffness in my hips/groin as I used toCheers brah

[Skenghis Khan]

no problem bro.they were a big help to me too, discovered the main thing holding back my squat and shoulder press was flexibility./Lol at my face when benching, so intense my jaw aches after.

[NiNES.]

Lol at the polish ogsUr gym aint serious unless they are pArt of the fixturesAnyone from north west ever trained at genesis gym in wembley

that in monks park?

[Aquaman]

been goin once a week too.just had a scare man was doin deadlifts had some light headedness thought i was gonna collapse for a min. had to sit down for abit n then go home

happened again, this time i finished my deads.got some water and was sitting down resting, before i know it im feeling woozy, n sick had to go sit down took a dumpcame back finished my workout this time though.can't lie this has me shook

[djbmc]

are focusing on ur breathing? make sure you breathe.

[Skenghis Khan]

does it happen at other times in life? if so see ur doctor.if it only happens in the gym, make sure ur eating/drinking enough, and remember to BREATHE.set ur grip/feet, then fill ur belly with air just b4 you pull the weight off the ground. its harder gettin ur breathing right with 'touch-and-go' deadlifts (bouncing off the ground instead of 'deading' the weight after each rep) cos its easy to lose ur tension. other than these things, getting a bit winded/puking is part of the process, its the pussyness leaving ur body.

[Aquaman]

ima go again on the deads next sesh n implement what u saidsho u got anymore of those defranco flexibility vids but for different body parts?

[Skenghis Khan]

wot body part were u looking for?cant remember wot i posted, but its just "simple 6" for upperbody and "agile 8" for lower body.heres all of the agile 8:

#1 – Foam Roll IT Band – Start just below your hip and roll up & down to your mid-(outer) thigh 10-15X, focusing on any tight spots. Then perform 10-15 “rolls” starting at your mid-(outer) thigh and rolling all the way down to the outside of your knee. Again, focus on the tight areas. IT Band Foam Roll (Beginning position)#2 – Foam Roll Adductors – Start just below the crease of your hip and roll up & down to your mid (inner) thigh 10-15X, focusing on any tight spots. Then perform 10-15 “rolls” starting at your mid-(inner) thigh and rolling down to the inside of your knee. Again, focus on the tight spots. Adductor Foam Roll (mid position)#3 – Glute/Piriformis Myofacial release w/ static stretch

#4 – *Rollovers into “V” sits – Perform 10 reps#5 - *Fire hydrant circles – 10 forward circles/10 backward circles each leg#6 - *Mountain climbers – 20 reps#7 - *Groiners – Perform 10 reps. Hold last rep for 10 seconds…push knees out with your upper arms while dropping your butt down.*The video below demonstrates exercises 4-7. Make sure you really focus on achieving a big range of motion with all these exercises. Don’t just go through the motions!

#8 – Static hip flexor stretch – Perform 3 sets of 10 seconds each leg. Perform all 3 sets on one leg before moving onto the other legStatic hip flexor stretchIf performed 5-7 days a week, I guarantee this simple routine will make a huge difference in how you feel and how you move! This routine can be performed at home before you leave for work, school, practice, etc. Or you can perform it at the gym before training. The bottom line is that there’s NO EXCUSE for not fitting this quick routine into your daily schedule.Give it a try and thank me later!Joe D.

not gonna lie, none of that^ is enjoyable (especially the bit with the tennis ball) but its worth forcing urself to do it as regularly as u can cos it makes a big difference.

You get dizzy in the gym go see a doctor incase its serious. My boy got light headed, collapsed and when he woke up in a hospital they found a tumour. Dudes 24 and uses a cane to walk now.

[Aquaman]
