Whats your warmup routine look like on an upper/lower day to get loose? I typically break out the WD40 and hit both sides of the wheelchair before rolling in.

Been pretty consistent with this Joe DeFranco routine for lower body. Haven't really done anything for upper but I should.

Usually walk the dogs/10m on the bike to get blood moving, then a few empty bar sets.

For lower body I use Dorian Yates warmup routine. I like it a lot.



Upper body I do a quick circuit of standing DB presses, DB rotations, laterals, curls and tricep extensions. Nothing fancy.

my sciatica has been in agony the past few weeks every morning I wake up. I can barely move. I've been foam rolling and my wife has been digging into my glute (she's a PTA). Holy crap at the pain. Can confirm, hips/ect suffer from cubecel life.

Few months back I could not break up the area around where my IT/quad connects. Lacrosse ball, PVC pipe, many nights of rolling and smashing would still make me wake up with tightness and pain. Just used the orange ball on this bad boy for a couple nights around 5 mins at a time, all that evaporated. +1 use as a great tool for when I'm constipated.

Just about all my AM workouts have been really good except my chest workouts. I'm making zero progression for some reason. I think I need to change up my exercise selection or something. I want to get back to Incline BB, but it's rare there is a person there to spot me in the AM that I'd trust.

You mean the 87 year old guy hunched over the stationary bike who looks near death from doing half a mile and hour with no resistance doesn't make a good spotter?

lol...... There are actually 2 guys who train the AM who are probably my age or a little older, they've spotted me very well before, but their days rotate a lot so not always available. These are times I really miss a training partner. I wish I could find someone to train with in the early AM.

Up at 530 am - that's sleeping in 30m for me. Felt good.

Biked for 30m then did a mess of shoulder work. Supersetted some curls to keep it bro. This landmine might be my favorite toy in my garage - so easy to thrash yourself and the movement range is so huge and natural.

Some day. Gonna use it for a while first to see what I wish I could do with this then make some choices. I'm a bit of a gadget collector in general (you should see my guitar pedal collection) so I try to resist impulse buys.


That said, any must haves I should consider?

Have been an early morning lifter for years . . . but have been extremely inconsistent with it the last 6 or 7 months with work being a mess and some family stuff taking up more time. Work still sucks, but it's incrementally "better" so I'm trying to get back in the groove. Hit the gym this morning at 5am for a fairly quick full-body routine just to get things moving again. Hopefully can get back to my normal split next week.

Also, really need to get out and ride the mountain bike. Some nice trails close to the house.

Lookin thick, solid, tight brah. You ever tried one of those assault bikes? I love warming up on the Rogue Echo, I also hate my life when doing any form of X calorie in X seconds intervals on it. Chit is hard AF.

Never got to try this. My gym owner is a cheap skate and only buys stupid spin bikes and treadmills. No investments in functional chit.

Does it qualify if I finish work at like 3:30 or 4:00 in the morning and then go to the gym instead of directly waking up, if so then in.

Good chit.

So most people think I'm crazy for working out straight after work especially like 4 o-clock in the morning but I honestly still have that energy and rush even without a pre-workout to complete my full workout. I like the fact that it's mostly an empty gym so I can train shirtless (I know it's cringe as fuk to do it with people around so I only do it when I'm alone) because I do believe that mind and muscle connection especially with upper body training and also for the fact that it's striving for goals that I set for myself both being the progression of mental and physical strength for my chosen career which is law enforcement and/or military (still working on that part).

Most people don't have the drive to do it because they're tired which honestly is fair enough; but straight after training and eating a massive meal, feels like my goal for that day is accomplished and it just starts it all over again for the next and there is nothing better then taking those steps up on the milestones getting further and further to acquiring the results you're striving for.

I honestly do admire all you brahs and brahsettes for training in the morning; takes a certain level of resolve to do it as the first thing in the morning.

Don't think its that crazy man. It's not much different from someone working 9-5pm and then training after work. You're just on a different sleep schedule. Must suck though, thats just a weird time to be awake/sleeping. I couldn't imagine going to bed at 7AM.

We get the 4th off and then I am taking the 5th off as PTO . . . so getting a long weekend. Hopefuly will be slow on Wed and can get out a little early, too.

Probably will go for a few bike rides, but I have been procrastinating on fixing & staining the fence and I really need to start knocking that out. So will probably be working on that at least a bit during the break.
