As for my girl, I am helping her massage the back of her knee daily, seems like some sort of dull nagging pain, nothing sharp. Will rest for 5 days before the race on Sunday.

Scoob, I remember you posting something asking whether your daughter should be trained or not - I didn't post anything as I think, ultimately, it's the parent's choice. But, I DON'T think a young kid should be competing to the point of getting injuries doing their sport. That seems crazy to me. So, my opinion is to strongly reconsider why she's doing it.

I posted previously and still believe in my advice that she should find an athletics club to train with. Playing sports should always be about fun, particularly when someone is 6!!!

other people's PR's help fuel other people's PR's, internet gym atmosphere of adarq.org is extra solid right now.

beastmode.

Couldn't be more true. I'm sure there's some kind of PR multiplier going on here.

Success breeds success. Personally I'm trying to get a stronger squat than entropy  :ninja:

it's like adarq driving internet people insane with quarter squats back in the day. it was working for him, so he gave no fucks.

yup x 2 :D

there's some beauty in being 'dumb' and simply training hard/heavy.. IMHO, it's a decent recipe for success. Another reason I wouldn't knock partial ROM routines, especially if it looks like it's working for someone. There's even more beauty in being intelligent and training hard/heavy using ROM's that give you the most results. :ninja:

People hated my half squats with a passion.. my 225 x 45 off pins @ ~150 lb has tons of dislikes, r u kidding me? LMFAO. That's impressive AF and that's a fact. But the ROM really annoys people. I think if you find yourself genuinely annoyed with someone elses ROM, you need to "realize it" and then try to snap yourself out of letting it get to you. I mean my brain does stuff like that all the time and I tell it to STFU.

5 plates without a warmup sounds like a bad idea, but maybe he watched my "resting max" training videos? I'd never do that stuff again, that's for sure.. it was a combined success/failure experiment, just too mentally taxing to go from 0 to max (5RM) on squat.

The walking into the gym smoking thing is pretty funny tho.. tons of water fountain breaks sounds like a good thing, guy is recovering and getting in some h2o. :ninja:

Gyms are great.. Haven't been to one in a long time but, really feels like you are out on a safari watching animals do weird shit. :D

Anyway, giving no fucks is great. Props to any1 who gives no fucks.

I don't watch much bodybuilder videos because bodybuilding isn't my thing. Personally I believe if you ever want to be a successful bodybuilder you've got to juice. I see natural bodybuilders that are meticulous with their training/diets and honestly with a shirt on they barely look like they lift because they don't have size. Without getting side tracked when I do watch bodybuilders train all the top ones are using heavy weight. Look at a Branch Warren video. His form is far from textbook but probably just the sheer power that you need to produce to move those weights is what produces the muscles (aside from the pharmaceuticals and CNS).

As for the water nothing wrong with drinking it but surely he'd think maybe it's easier just buying a 2 Litre bottle of water for $1 and using that as a drink bottle instead of always coming to the gym with nothing. Not a hater just an observer  :P

Mutumbo u started something with this music + sports stuff.. in this thread. :highfive:

Watching people try to bring down Marshawn, and him just bulldoze them, is a special kind of art.. adrenaline++

Yeah it's always more entertaining watching sport highlights with great music. Watching the introductions and hearing the players background stories, particularly growing up in adverse conditions also adds to the inspiration.

I find the same thing with gyms it gives me motivation because usually there's always at least one person (depending on how busy the gym is) who lifts more than me.

Definitely. There's a few guys who are beasts but I'm finding a lot of gym bros at the moment who cycle between 8 different pieces of equipment and do quarter squats and round backed deads. Would be a different story if I trained at night tho. Still, as long as I have my own music it's more motivating that training at home.

What trips me out at my gym is there is one guy who is actually pretty buff. 6'2 100kg sitting around 10% bodyfat he looks vascular etc. However, his training regime is such a joke sometimes I wonder whether he just comes into the gym trolling in his 'workouts' and than comes back and does his real workouts later. Literally every time he comes to the gym he'll stand outside the gym before he walks in smoking. He never brings a bottle of water so he'll be back and forth to the water fountain 20x in an hour. His 'workout' consists of using heavy weights with 10% ROM no matter what exercise it is. E.g. he'll walk straight over to the bench and won't even warm up and just loads 3 plates on to it. Like I said he's in good shape so the first time I saw him I was like 'damn he's benching 3 plates without even having a warm up'. But than I actually saw him lift and he literally just benched 4 sets of 10 with 4 inches of ROM max. He does exactly the same on the squat but loads up with 5 plates  :uhhhfacepalm: Halfway through his workouts he'll go out for another smoke and than come back strutting around in his Warrick Capper shorts and 'Golds Gym' singlet like he owns the gym does a few bicep curls and walks off.

total sign of immaturity: afraid to take jump shots is a sign he doesn't want himself to look bad, he wants the world to see how much game he has.....

From what I read yesterday he is completely reworking his jumpshot so I can imagine his reluctance to take them. Really though, he can basically get to the basket at will so what's a year of not taking jump shots.

This. He's afraid to take jump shots because he lacks confidence in his shooting.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Whats up guys

5 year summary of my progress since you stopped posting in 2012.

2013-
I quit playing rugby and took up track the first time since high school.
Managed to get times of:
60m- 7.45 FAT
100m- 11.37 FAT
200m- 23.15 FAT
I was in PR shape but tore my hamstring.

2014/2015-
Lost my purpose in training as I wasn't participating in any sports. Relocated interstate and spiralled into alcoholism. Returned back to my home state got a job and stopped training. Gave up training entirely and turned into a fat fuck (43 inch waist at 97kg  :() and was completely career orientated.

2016-
Realised I was living a very unhealthy lifestyle and returned to adarq.org and began training again and losing weight.

2017-
Begun playing rugby again  and continued training. Made the State team and got winger of the year. Currently I'm back to surpassing my old PR's from 2012/2013 and getting stronger every day.

What have you been up to???
