Working Out....

[garethom]

Yeah assorted bros, it was barbell curl.

[Molzie]

^ he turned an isolation into a compound exercise.

Can't wait for the insane two day bulk coming this week.

[Jurrecane]

Something else, anybody tore his callus before? I tore mine today doing some swinging stuff. Any of you know a cure? I've read about salt water but I'm not sure I can handle that. (Call me a wimp, I deserve it)

A pair of jeans turned into skinny jeans and now they're torn. And they're Levi's for fuck's sake. I'm growing like fuck.

Can't wait for the insane two day bulk coming this week.

Haha, that's hardly a bulk tho isn't it? Just gonna pig out for a few days with christmas? Me too kind of. I'm gonna neglect macros but stick to my calories.

They break all the time and just regrow? It doesn't hurt does it?

You're a wimp, you deserve it.

It isn't broken, it is torn. Had to cut a big piece off.
Thanks OG for the motivation, i'm going to put my hand in a bowl of salt water. Tomorrow

Edit: Just gave it a try, first put my hand in salty water but didn't feel anything. So I decided to just throw some salt on it. That's intense. Had me jumping around the living room lol.

[Molzie]

just put up with the pain as much as possible. it will grow back harder.

some chump at the gym today was benching on the smith machine and he left all his weights on the bar. Since I was waiting for the machine I asked if he was finished and if he was, could he take his weights off. He looked me in the eye said "nope" and looked at his mate and they laughed. I was speechless. Called him a dickhead under my breath and took his weights off.

He was also using lifting straps on his bench press

[garethom]

There's two groups of knobheads at my gym. One group uses the squat rack for benching, and the bench area for squatting and they use the two at the same time, which is fucking vexing. Then there's another group. I've started getting to the gym 2/3 minutes earlier just to get the bench area before they do (and I hate doing bench first), because they sit there discussing their weekend, no joke, for about half an hour and then there's about 5 of them benching as well, chatting in between each set naturally. Had to ask them to hurry up a few times now. When they got there on Tuesday and I was already in the bench area, they looked genuinely devestated

They also use wrist straps for benching...

[OGLemon]

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I've torn my calluses many a time. Try not to irritate it doe.

[Genevieve]

Try putting some salt on it again, it will negate the effects of when you did it last time.

You're lucky to even have two separate bench/squat areas. we just have two squat racks which are shared.

Used to be horrible but a few months ago, the gym owner opened up this massive new secret area packed with new equipment and an MMA ring

[Genevieve]

You know you're big when most guys around you look super skinny.

Agree/disagree?

I'm not at that point yet. But I think it rings true unless you have an unnecessarily inflated ego (I know I'm setting myself up for an insult here, shut up). I remember when I was at my biggest that everyone just looked so skinny to me.

[garethom]

I'm used to being around dudes that play american football. I'm often one of the smallest

[ehbes]

Start back at the gym today, gonna get my ass kicked I can already tell

[Jurrecane]

Will be putting salt on it a couple of times today, already done once. Wanted to go hard for the holidays..

[garethom]

Gym is closed pretty much until the new year now. Went for it. Did it.

Curled 55kg.
Benched 100kg. Got 8 reps, but last two were pretty shit, so I'm counting 6. #GTFletcher #SwoleLife

Congrats dude. Adding 5 kgs like that to your curl is a feat.

I'm skipping christmas eve and going to visit my mom and sister a day later to adecuately go to the gym haha. Shit they should be happy to have me around for 2 days.

whenever I see that, I imagine you single arm preacher curling a 55kg dumbbell.

I've reached the heaviest DB in my gym for my press. not sure where to go from here.
