Re: The Fitness Thread

Well, if you're using the rectangular one that's in the pic the most. I would raise those *support* bars up to the 5th hole about (depending on how far you are going down to squat. That's about it. Find the right movements for a squat, and idk, I'm lazy. I don't do these. D:

Re: The Fitness Thread

I have no idea what I'm doing lmfao

how / what should i adjust?

Practice squatting first, sink down until your ass is parallel or lower. Make sure you arent rounding your back, then judge where you need the safety bars so it catches you when you fail.

Then, for bench, get one of the small DB bench press benches and move it into the squat rack. Lay down on it, and put the safety bars at about your chest level so you can get out if you get squished.

Re: The Fitness Thread

Damn dude, you're more nervous than I was. I walked in the gym for the first time with a half ass routine and no idea what I was doing. I was also a rake.

You'll learn with experience. Can't be afraid to fail if you want to progress.

Re: The Fitness Thread

Squats are probably the hardest exercise to perform in the gym. Don't sweat it if you can't get them right right now. There are always alternatives until you get better at them (leg press, for example).


Worked out for the first time at one of those big fancy chain 24 hour gyms. Wanted to check it out. Tons of good machines in there that my hole in the wall gym doesn't have, but the freeweight section was pretty ass (where the **** are the barbells, benches and god damn there were not enough weights laying around lmao. Couldn't even find enough to fully load the leg press). At least they had a squat rack.

The physiques there were a lot tamer than were I go lmao. Some kid was trying to bench 205 and was getting stuck pretty bad and looked like he was about to snap his shit up. I helped a bro out. I think he left immediately afterwards, which is funny because it was the first thing I saw him lift.

Re: The Fitness Thread

Yeah pretty sure I strained something -- quads sore + left knee occasionally buckling + walking with a limp. XD

next time (ie tomorrow, hopefully, if things feel OK. Will do the arm exercises otherwise)

That just means you actually put in the work, you arent hurt. You're gonna have to suck it up broski, this shit isnt easy!

Sounds like every leg workout for me.

Just rest up, eat good foods and your body will recover stronger than before.

I guess this is what it came down to:

Re: The Fitness Thread

I watched the stream, I think Kai lost it barely even legitimately, Phil has such a strong stage presence and everything flows so well.

He was probably 97% though, needs to come out like he did last year and just blow everyone away next time or Kai might have to win.
