you're not depressed.
you're deconditioned.
you sleep 5 hours, eat like shit, never move anything heavy.
fix that first.
most of the "mental health" noise gets quiet real fast once you do.
@JackedBasedMgr getting both of those worlds
learning to brace belt less (for most that is more than enough that carries over to real life situations)
using belt at 80%+ volume to max out
no muscle, and you're asking about optimal grip width for tricep activation.
stop.
lift something heavy. eat. sleep. do that for two years.
the fancy stuff is for people who earned it.
"i don't have motivation today."
motivation was never the system. you built your
whole body on doing things only when you felt like it.
that's why it looks like that.
discipline is just showing up bored and doing it anyway.
@mariannehere same for the beginners
always track what you lift or/and look like
2-3 months in you open your app/notebook lifts are x2 you started
photos are starting to show your hard work
@toylan20 for most this would be the 80/20 for life
overcomplicating which tricep head rotation will get you another 3% of gains is pointless
given you have no triceps...
@omgsidewalks just do it and trust the process
after 20 years,i started training in the mornings
my rule: morning or no gym
0 negotiations
few things that helped:
sleep early and embrace the suck
your strength will be lower, intensity too
allow yourself to be weaker, you will adapt
@LukeScalesX yup or they get so deep into details of the movement that they actually forget to build muscle in the first place
i.e. guys overthinking which triceps head certain wrist rotation works when they litterally have no triceps
40 hours of fitness videos this month.
trained 4 times.
you know more about hypertrophy than the coach at your gym and you look like you've never held a barbell.
information isn't your bottleneck.
you are.
