So you invented a workout to target a muscle group and said muscle group is not improving....

:thinking:

Yeah idk man, you're probably fucked. I'd just look into robot calves if I was you.

Any tips on hand care? To condition my hands, I've started once or twice a week I'm doing my heavy bag drills without gloves and just with hand wraps. It also help my form as you feel it straight away if you're punching like a retard. It's also good as keeps in mind how to punch without gloves so if in the unfortunate event of having to punch someone you don't hit full force like you would with gloves and shatter a bunch of bones in your hand on someone's jaw bone.

I'm getting tons of niggles in my hands though. I know in a month or two they'll get used to it but is there anything I should be doing of an evening as a bit of extra care? It was effecting my lifting yesterday.

Rice.
Bucket.
Trust me, it’s magic for the hands and forearms.
 
Life is a lie.

I just realized that drinking 48oz milk w/ my protein powder adds 500 calories (up to 1000) when I could just drink water + protein powder. From what I remember that shits retarded but I'm on a cut so this is a really good solution to save on calories and opt for a higher protein diet since theres a good bit of fat/carbs in milk. There is still carbs and fat in protein powder of course, but alot less

I'm retarded.

One gallon =128oz. 48oz is 37% of a gallon of milk. You're talking about multiple shakes a day right? If not you're a mutant, congratulations.

Anyway, whole milk is about 1gr of protein per oz. Milk maxing is good for twig soyboy types that are just getting into lifting.

Naw nigga, I drank 48oz of milk and two scoops of GNC protein powder at once. I'm what you would call an alpha. Granted it usually took up 1/3rd of my day.

I'm trying to drop from 193 to 175 while still getting enough protein not to obliterate my gains so I was using ChatGPT to brainstorm and that came to my mind.

Rather than autisticly targeting muscle groups I pull weights on it that would mimic every day tasks and not caring about form and it’s been brilliant for my core.

I call my programme The Way of the Retard and it can be yours for just £19.99 per month.

Clips while bench pressing is less safe than no clips was my point. If you reach failure and you have clips on and no spotter, your brother inherits your weights. If you have no clips on you can roll it to one side and dump the plates.

Absolutely zero reason to use clips and its outright suicidal if you use them lifting a lone. Few months ago I didnt realize how much weight I put on the bar when doing bench and had to dump the weights. I lift alone so I would have been fucked trying to get 270 pounds off my chest.

No. You also need to get some reps in at the library. I said my calves aren't recovering as fast as I was lead to believe. Not that there was no improvement, (it's been three days of course there's been no improvement), nor that the workout was invented specifically to target calves (it targets everything, calves are included).

Heavily diluted protein powder is gross. I use way less milk, even with two scoops I'd probably use less than 20oz. Milk is good for you, do some cardio. Thick and chunky protein shake drinkers report in, I like extra pulp in my orange juice btw.

16oz whole milk here. I always throw in a frozen banana and hit it with the ninja blender for a milkshake consistency. Throw a tablespoon of low suger coco mix in there too and you will suffer not for flavor.

Yeah thats a good point, I'm not sure why I was doing 48oz. Think I was just bulking but didn't want to use more protein for some reason and opted for milk instead.

I recently developed extreme neck and shoulder pain, got prescribed kinesiology sessions, turns out my job gave me cervical rectification.
At first I expected kinesiology to be going there twice a week to get the shit beaten out of me and hopefully feel better afterwards, but it turned out to be functional workout focused on neck and shoulders first, but as I started feeling better and the happy endorphins kicked in I started craving more intensity and focused on other regions as well.
I don't care about aestethics, I just want good strength for a 60kg female and to hopefully contribute to changing the retarded position my upper back and neck revert into when I'm not consciously paying attention and correcting it myself.
I used to swim lots two years ago, then a unrelated health problem forced me to quit.

Please tell me where to start and thank you a lot.

If you mean to start working out, I'd just recommend you do the normal beginner stuff like prioritizing compound exercises etc. Regarding your neck issues, I can't 100% confidently recommend something without knowing what the exact issue with your cervical spine is, like do you have spondylosis or issues with your discus etc. But in most cases doing chin tucks or any other exercises that strengthen your SCM will help your neck, and anything to relieve tightness of your traps and levators can be really helpful too.

Upper and lower abs, lower back, and rear head of the shoulders. Also if you sit down a lot, for example an office job, get a kneeling chair.

The usual - squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press. Make sure you start out light weight so you can concentrate on your form. Big compound movements like that carry plenty of risk for serious injury and death, so you wanna make sure you're doing it properly and not turning your spine into a pretzel trying to 1pl8.

Does this exercise routine have a name? I routinely pull neck muscles doing the dumbest shit like opening doors weirdly after just waking up. I don't know if it's genetic or from what I do at work but it sucks. When your neck is injured it's painful enough to effect your whole body, making every movement stiff.

The only idea I have, without going to a specialist, is to build better neck/shoulder muscles. Please share your ways with me!
