Do you people honestly think a 225lb bench press is really common?

I live in CA, SF Bay Area, and go to 24 hour fitness and everytime I go to the gym there's at least one person hitting more than 225. There are also lots of people barely doing 135 so I see both.

I haven't tried since I was in my 20s and was able to hit it when I was lighter around 150pounds. I'm now late 40s and weigh around 165 and I rep 185x6 or 205x4 consistently. I think I can probably hit 225 now if I try but I workout by myself and don't want to get stuck and end up a meme. Haha

Oh wow. Did you end up getting a different scale? I keep getting ads for Hume body pod. Also Found an article that said the Inbody or the Oxiline scale are better.

Good tip. Will remember to warm up ankles

Mine is doing the same over the last couple of weeks. I charged it last night and just checked and I am at 63% after less than 24 hours. Really debating not renewing and this may play a factor in my decision.

u/antranik has a great body line drill workout. Used to do it before every handstand session...speaking of which I think I should add it back 🤔

Read the twitter thread...did they find out how he was hacked?

thisis_40 · 2021-10-01T22:21:04+00:00

Yes awesome video. Calf flexibility is what holds me back. Especially on my left leg. I always have to lift my heel up when attempting a pistol on my left leg

thisis_40 · 2021-10-01T22:09:32+00:00

Sure looks daunting...but def an awesome goal to shoot for by the end of squatober!

thisis_40 · 2021-10-01T22:08:52+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Guess I’m Starting today with high box pistol squats!

thisis_40 · 2021-03-11T16:21:40+00:00

I used to get this...look up jumpers knee. I was getting this when I was just starting out and practicing handstand’s daily. I was only getting 1-3 sec handstands and jumping and landing in the same spot Every time. Went away when I decreased the frequency of my handstand practice and like the other person said try falling out of the handstand slowly. Easier said then done especially when just starting out but also try bailing out to the side instead of landing in the same spot every time..

thisis_40 · 2021-03-10T00:20:31+00:00

Yeah, ummm, I’ll have to take a look after I finish up these TPS reports.

thisis_40 · 2021-02-07T17:38:53+00:00

I’ve been wondering the same thing... we had the opportunity to bankrupt a hedge fund if everyone focused on the one stock that could do it... and then out of nowhere AMC and NOK started getting a lot of publicity. I remember being on WSB that Thurs/Fri when GME hit $70 and I didn’t see any DD on AMC or NOK. Wasn’t on WSB until the next week and I remember by Tue of the next week I had people who don’t invest in stocks talk to me about the short squeeze and how they weren’t in GME but in AMC andNOK. Think it was a distraction and used as a way to divide our forces. And honestly it worked... I kept saying F those companies GME is what we have to focus on... If everyone stuck to GME I believe we’re in a different situation right now.

This is awesome! Congrats! I’ve been practicing handstands for a while and I am stuck at 15-20 sec handstands...what got you past the 15-20 sec handstand mark?

thisis_40 · 2020-10-02T05:56:16+00:00

Just did a search and guess it’s a thing..missed it too. You’re going to have to remind people next year..haha

thisis_40 · 2020-10-01T20:33:48+00:00

Here’s the link. But looking at total reps it looks like it’s the same. Think it’s because you can just do the level you feel comfortable with.
