I plan to stream all of my work outs at home for the foreseeable future. I am hoping some of you all will come to the stream and make fun of my bad form so much that I have to get better.

Plus it can't hurt to log my lifts here as I've stopped writing them down.

Also would love comments on just about anything, from form to program to setup, especially the first couple of times as I assume the audio/video won't be optimal with out some user feedback.

I plan on being live around 9pm EST 5 or 6 nights a week, starting tomorrow.

Up and running for dls/squats

12/13

DL:

135x8x2 205x8x2 255x5x2 275x5

Squat:

45x8 95x8 135x8 185x8 205x5

Kinda cool idea. I'd personally rather just film individual sets and post on youtube, but I understand stream watchers love the interaction part of this stuff.


Why are you training 5/6 nights a week though? That's too much for almost anyone, and certainly too much for you if your squat is 205x5. What are your goals?

I don't care much about strength, only aesthetics. And I'm hurt by how much weight I have here, as in I have a total of 300lbs that I could put on a bar.

I can't figure out how to grow my arms other than training them twice a week fwiw. They are the weakest part of my physique.

Chest tonight.

12/14

Hopefully no one watched tonight as it seems like there was some crazy audio issues, maybe due to not muting the stream? Idk, gonna have to fix it obv.


Flat bench: 45x10 95x10 135x9 185x8 205x6/135x8

Incline bench: 135x9 155x8 185x6/135x8

Incline chest flys: 30x12 30x10 30x8

Pushups: 25, 20, 16

You may end up being a trendsetter in this space,

How come you dont have it set up so people can watch past streams?

I watched a bit (I think the 205 set?), and I had that audio issue. I thought you hit 7 reps on that 205 set, actually, but I was falling asleep so who knows. Form looked fine in any case.

Interesting idea. I suspect having someone watching me in real time might affect me in some way (cut my rest time short, feel like I have to go for an extra rep FOR THE FANS), but I'm an old.

The first 2 tries the audio was horrible and really not worth watching so I deleted the videos. Going foward it should be good if that gets worked out. Hope the quality of video is good? Idk.

Hmmm guess I need to learn how to count lol. Glad you approve of the form but chest is a strength of mine. I really look foward to help with dls and squat.

Also, anyone who watches thanks obv. And say something in chat about fitness or crypto would love to discuss either. Or poker or anything really.

Would normally have legs and back today but my back feels horrible so shoulders and arms today.

And maybe the audio is better idk.

Seems like the audio was better so that's nice. Also there should be a vod on my channel for a bit fwiw.

Went something like,

Standing dumbbell overhead press/ incline dumbbell rear delt flys (idk if there is a better way to say that: 30x15x3/10x15x2 10x12x1

Straight arm side delt raises/one arm concentration curls: 20x12x3/25x10x1 30x9x1 30x10x1

OHP: 45x8 65x8 95x8 115x3. My overhead press is a joke and really hope I improve here at some point in life.

Hammer curls: 30x8x3

Sanding side delt flys: 20x15x1 25x12x2

DB Curls: 20x15x1 20x12x1 Was tired out at this point and kinda gave up

Legs and back tonight.

Right behind my right shoulder blade was ultra sore on like Friday, like couldnt sleep sore, was super happy to have yesterday off. Feel better today see how the pull ups go.

Gloves for pull-ups? Were I the kind of person that subscribed to threads, I would be unsubscribing right now.

Dude, **** getting callouses. How do you deal with them other than gloves?

Also I just finished, get to the pc here and see someone followed me. Oh how cool, I think, first person ever to follow me at random really and their name is "ScatFetis". Seriously.... lol

So tonight should have been something like

Deadlift air squats: 15 each leg.

BW Pull ups full ROM: 10

Step back lunges: 15 each leg

Walking lunges: 20

BW Close grip pull ups: 10

BW Chin ups: 10

BW Alternate grip pull ups: 10

Squat: 45x8 95x8 135x8 185x8 205x5 225x4

Leg extentions: 75x15 95x15

Writing it out this way makes it look like I did it in straight order but it was more like 2 leg exercises then pull ups, then repeat.

Re: callouses, I cut them off with nail scissors. A real strength athlete like G4S probably has some sort of elaborate pumice stone routine for hand health, but just getting rid of them works for me. It was the same thing I did to my callouses from playing golf as a lad.

For the kind of training you're doing, assuming you know how to properly grip a bar for chins/deads (a big assumption for most), you'll develop some minor calluses that won't require dealing with.

They only become an issue when you're doing lots of heavy sets of deadlifts and farmer's walks and stuff. I do deadlifts and weighted chins a couple times a week each and have a row of minor calluses where my palm meets my fingers and they've never been a problem enough to require clipping or filing down.

100% agree they are the worst on dead lifts. But if I say use the dumbbells I have for curls with out gloves my hands get torn to shreds.

Have straps on for dls and it's still the worst.

Gloves... *shudder*

All mens hands should have some callouses.

For me, it's as elaborate as scrubbing em with a pumice stone 2-4x per week in the shower.

There's also that Donny Shankle hand care video out there somewhere if you really want a fancy routine.

Wtf is a pumice stone, something outta skyrim?

Chest here in like 30 mins.

same. Pumice stone in the shower a couple times a week. Pick at them while stuck in boring meetings at work.

Or rather than fancy soaps and boring meetings you could just wear gloves...sayin.
