Been going gym 5 months straight, 4 days a week, haven't missed a single day. Definitely feel like I've reached a plateu, but taking long reaching the next step.

Gonna take a week or so off. Im hoping to try and keep the diet on point but gonna be hard stuffing my face without going gym. But a week off will hopefully give my body time to fully rest, and a shock when I jump back on. Deffo gonna switch up my workout too.

[Guest M12]

MG account ghosted?

S.Khan really appreciating that info I'm ashamed to say it is probably the technique. I don't have good knees so I guess it's really vital. Tbh most of my leg work is on machines / I'm loose with it coz I've always had good legs... seems to run in the family, so I've been fairly happy with them

You lot don't use the barbell? Isn't that what u squat with? Like a bit of bench press but dumbbell flys are my thing these days

[Guest Chelsea Jack]

That's why i'm shook to go heavy until i got form perfected

bench press is easy

and i have mastered deadlift so i'm comfortable with that.. did 100kg x 5reps for 3 sets on wednesday jus to ease myself back into things

gunna try 120kg next week, should be fine for a couple reps

c/s using dumbells for chest workouts

means you don't need a spot aswell , can just drop them

[YFSD]

When you lot deadlift do you make a conscious effort to tense your abs throughout the lift?

[Yuri]

No I'm usually focused too much on the posture of my back and keeping my shoulders/traps tight

BRB

• no time/no motivation for the gym.
  
• Losing gains because no time to eat.
  
• finding 3 days a week impossible
  
• Feel like I'm wasting my time and could be something productive or hanging out with friends/family.
  
• Lifting is a very lonely/selfish pursuit. Everyone is narcissist and inward looking.
  

It's definitely a lifestyle which I'm finding hard to maintain.

Wish man was a student and doing nothing except lifting/eating and sleeping

When you lot deadlift do you make a conscious effort to tense your abs throughout the lift?

what yuri said

shoulders pinched back, chest out usually helps me keep my lower back straight/arched and never really have to think about abs
