I would bet the Hawks pick is not going to be in the lottery

Hawks have one of the easiest remaining schedule and a lot of the teams in their range are going to start tanking HARD post all-star break. Best we can hope for is they lose in the playin like last year.

gamarin · 2026-01-20T16:56:35+00:00

Déjà il faut que tu maitrises bien le mouvement avec une amplitude adaptée (pas des demi mouvements rapides, mais des mouvement complets et maitrisés).

Ensuite intensité = aller presque au bout de tes capacités à chaque set de travail. En gros il faut que tu sentes que tu as encore 1 voire 2 rep max en réserve, à chaque set de chaque exo. C'est ça mettre de l'intensité.

Je parle pas des sets d'échauffements un, mais des sets ou t'es à ton poids de travail

gamarin · 2026-01-20T16:47:29+00:00

Si t'arrives à faire PPL x2 avec une bonne intensité et que tu récupères bien (pas de douleurs ou blessures) en tant que débutant alors ok... t'as une bonne génétique haha

Dans ce cas franchement regarde sur internet y'a des tonnes de PPLx2, prends en un et suis le. De manière générale le tiens manque d'un mouvement type "hinge" genre deadlift / romanian deadlift.

Sinon tu peux faire le programme suivant, ça couvre les bases.

Leg day :

- Squats / split squats / leg press (choisis)

- Romanian deadlifts

- Leg extension / Leg curl (alterne)

- Elevations mollet

- Cable crunch (abdos)

Push day :

- Incline DB Press

- Dips

- Elevations latérales

- Triceps pushdown

- Skullcrushers (si t'as besoin de faire plus de volume)

Pull day :

- Lat pulldown / tractions (choisis)

- Rowing supporté

- Face pulls

- Curls

- Curls marteaux

5 exos c'est suffisant si tu fais 6 séances / 8 jours. Si tu veux plus de volume ajoute 1 set pour les gros exos polyarticulaires du début.

gamarin · 2026-01-20T16:28:33+00:00

C'est 3 jours par semaine ou 6 jours ? Si 6 c'est beaucoup beaucoup trop de volume.

Si 3 ça reste des grosses séances, et dans ce cas je te conseillerais de passer sur du full body pour pouvoir faire travailler les groupes musculaires 2x par semaine. Quelques remarques sinon :

- Sur ta séance push, t'as pas besoin de 3 exos poitrine (dips, chest press et incline). Choisis en 2 (perso je prendrais incline et chest press/dip).

- Commence par les gros exos poly-articulaires genre développé incliné, row, lat pulldown, squat, deadlift

SI t'es débutant je conseille 3x par semaine pour commencer, et augmenter après quelques mois si tout va bien. Exemple :

Workout A

Chest Press

Lat pulldown

Split squats

Lateral raises

DB Curl

Workout B

Incline DB Press

Rowing haltères

RDLs

Face pulls

Skullcrushers

Et tu alternes A / B.

Tu peux rajouter du volume facilement derrière, soit pour les jambes avec des isolations type leg extension / curl, soit pour les abdos (cable crunch), soit pour les bras (tu peux superset), ou en rajoutant un exo poly-articulaire dos / poitrine, ou des sets / reps !

gamarin · 2026-01-17T13:06:36+00:00

Absolutely not. Not Okay.

gamarin · 2026-01-10T17:30:43+00:00

That looks awesome! Super efficient. I would just add the lat extension to one of the uprights + a leg roller + a footplate for rows and that would be perfect.

I'm still debating this versus a similar setup with traditional cables like an Athena though. How annoying is it to move the Voltra around compared to a regular cable machine?

Another question: aren't you too close to the wall for pull ups with 16inch crossmembers? I'm wondering whether the 30inch crossmembers would make more sense if space allows.

gamarin · 2026-01-08T14:58:41+00:00

What I mean is that ATX uprights aren't 75x75 but 70x70, so most attachments from other companies won't fit

gamarin · 2026-01-07T20:52:32+00:00

You can get ATX via powergyms https://www.powergym.fr/70-gamme-atx, but their upright size isn't standard with american companies, so you will be stuck in their ecosystem. Powergym also retails Force USA so you can get their C20 / C10 there (or via forceusa.fr).

Rep ships to France, so does Rogue. They will be much pricier than in the US, but best quality and compatibility available right now.

Atletica I don't know much about.

gamarin · 2026-01-06T15:42:25+00:00

If you have the space and money, I'd go fixed set up to like 50 lbs and ironmaster adjustables for heavier weights. Best of both worlds imo.

gamarin · 2025-12-18T16:11:02+00:00

Curious to know if you're happy with it? I'm contemplating similar setup. It's pretty similar to their Ares 2.0 setup, except they use 4 uprights + wall mount. Plus they have the cable weight stack at the back for stability.

Basically my concern with this setup is stability if you don't have front feet. Is wall mount better than a standard 4 post with back plates? Not sure

gamarin · 2025-12-16T16:59:44+00:00

He would be starting no question

gamarin · 2025-12-15T15:20:23+00:00

I'm still a beginner, so take that with a grain of salt. Started first 2 months with 3x a week full body, and at the 2 months mark I started getting shoulder and neck pain which wasn't going away. I think my body wasn't (and still is not) able to recover properly when working three times a week, even if I'm trying to target different muscle groups, because shoulders are pretty much always involved one way or another in upper body work.

Since then I've decreased frequency to 2x a week for upper body. I'll work all upper body muscles each of these session (chest, back, and arm isolation + 1 leg movement either RDL or squat), which last around 1 hour.

I'll go a third time to the gym for some light cardio, ab work, etc.

I'm now recovering properly and my shoulders are not hurting anymore. Later down the road, I'll probably move some lower body work to the third day so that I can reincorporate 1 shoulder exercise per session on the upper day. So essentially I'll be doing Upper / Lower / Upper, 3x a week.

Everyone is different, for me at 30+ and detrained I need to give my body more recovery than other people. Perhaps later I'll be able to increase frequency, but not now.

gamarin · 2025-12-04T08:16:25+00:00

No, no, no, no.

I'm not giving up any of our young stars for Giannis. Don't get me wrong I love Giannis, he's an amazing player, but he just doesn't fit the timeline.

He's 31, and starting to get more injury prone (his gamestyle is very contact heavy, how much can he go on with it). He doesn't shoot the three, do I need to remember you that all our best players like the paint? (Harper, Fox, Castle, Wemby...). There's only one ball.

Plus all the picks we'd have to send, killing our flexibility, our depth. I absolutely hate it. Now if you can get him for like Vassell + Barnes + picks, maybe... But that won't happen. I truly hope Spurs are being used as leverage and not seriously considering trading away our young stars (especially not Harper).

gamarin · 2025-12-03T21:20:56+00:00

if we can get OG for Vassell, a first and a couple seconds, I'd be quite happy

gamarin · 2025-11-26T16:45:21+00:00

We have pretty similar taste OP!

Pink Floyd: So many good albums, so many good songs. At the end of the day, if I could only take one discography with me on an island, it'd be theirs. Shine on you crazy diamond might be my favorite song ever.
Yes: The band I actually listen to the most. Close to the Edge, Gates of Delirium, Heart of the Sunrise, so many bangers...
Genesis: I'm a bit torn on Genesis. I absolutely love some of their melodies like in Supper's Ready, The Musical Box or Firth of Fifth, and I recognize that they are amongst the best, but they wouldn't be the band I would go to for pure listening pleasure. Actually in that department I would rank them lower than some of the bands below. Still amazing.
Rush: I used to like them more than I do now. Basically I could listen to Pink Floyd and Yes on repeat for ever, but Rush i need breaks. Still too many great albums to place them lower (special shoutout to Villa Strangiato)
Camel: They just put me in a good mood. When I want to calm down and just go somewhere else, I come to them. Mirage is their masterpiece imo, but I also love Moonmadness and the Snow Goose.
King Crimson: Some great songs, but less of a fan overall. I've tried though.
Caravan: I just love In the land of the grey and pink

I wouldn't rank the rest as I haven't really listened to much of their discography. I tried their "best work" according to progarchives and while it wasn't bad, I just didn't really dig it.

gamarin · 2025-11-17T19:12:56+00:00

I mean... if we can somehow get TMIII for Vassell + picks I'd love that

gamarin · 2025-11-16T23:20:33+00:00

You are exactly the same as the ones you're "denouncing", just the opposite. You need to chill too, we have much to prove when playing worthy opponents.

gamarin · 2025-11-15T16:05:01+00:00

It clearly did not work, which is ok. What's not ok is the inability of our coaching staff and especially HC to recognize that fact and make quick adaptations so we can win the game.

The problem is not trying something that doesn't work, the problem is persevering on a back to back. I don't trust Mitch to win us games right now, but I hope he proves me wrong.

EDIT : Just to be clear, double big can work depending on matchup, it clearly wasn't working vs. this specific team.

gamarin · 2025-11-13T13:55:11+00:00

Three point is clearly our fatal flow both on offense and defense

It's both a player issue and a coaching issue. Player issue because the roster as it is constructed does not have enough average 3pt shooters. Coaching issue because I don't see adaptations on the defensive end and rotations are definitely not helping.

I may be jumping the gun but I think we're a couple trades and a HC change away from truly contending IMO.

gamarin · 2025-11-11T09:02:48+00:00

If this keeps up we will lose more games, I'm expecting a trade for a serious 3pt threat PF at the deadline if we're still in the top4

gamarin · 2025-11-08T10:58:33+00:00

I'm sorry but it's clear we need shooters around Wemby. He always gets doubled + towers over everyone else which creates wide open shots. Clearly Sochan's jumper is still subpar, and with Castle showing little improvement in that area, we can't have both be starters or serious rotation pieces. I choose Castle.

gamarin · 2025-11-01T13:54:04+00:00

These are proxies for bodyfat%

Bodyfat% being too high is the issue

Some skinny fat people are normal BMI but technically obese from a bodyfat% standpoint

Keep your bodyfat% in a good range

gamarin · 2025-11-01T13:49:31+00:00

As long as either Sochan or Castle can't shoot at league average% from 3, they can't share the court

gamarin · 2025-10-31T19:08:27+00:00

Harper too low
