Or it's great because you get to keep buying more plates...
Yeah I wasn't going anywhere with that, on the bright side I like to imagine your monthly membership fee gets waived at least ;p

By the way, just to clarify that... I'm not regularly throwing massive amounts of weight on the barbell - this is more for speed with dumbells. I don't have those bowflex style things, and I hate wasting time adding / removing plates between sets, so I have about 10 different dumbells set up ready to go.
Have a few different barbells setup too, but as a general rule it's not such a big issue to change the weight of those (I usually enjoy the break!).

I would like just once to have a complete workout session wearing only my underwear.
I am just curious, I've never seen my upper body naked in the heat of the action.

Yeah sorry for the naivety, have no idea about the technicalities of fitness. Will start off small I think.
you think that's weird? not sure I understand this reaction
Nothing stops this train bros. Now that it is the day after, still have some feels, but i know its not going to stop me. I did eat about 20g net carbs of cheese puffs tho lol, that was the extent of my going overboard. I'm back to normal eating now, and i probably wouldnt have been able to do it if i had to sit here and cook each meal every time i eat. Everything is ready to eat and i don't even think about cooking other then a few times a month.
Tomorrow is a new start of 5/3/1 with increased weights on all 4 lifts. Looking forward to it.
When I worked at planet fitness, after I closed it on Friday or Saturday, I'd lift with no shirt on lol. It was fun.

20g carbs. Goddamn you're letting yourself go. This is you in 1 month
Honestly I was looking for an excuse to post that gif
You just won best post of FitGaf OT7 for me. Loved everything about this morsel of wisdom. You keep doing you Alien-Brolic-Shogun-Gaoler and we'll all be better because of it.

I bet naked lifting is rather relaxing depending on the lift, sometimes the clothing just feels like it's getting in the way or being irritating (part of the reason I don't do squats in anything more than a t-shirt for example.) Plus much easier to critique form I imagine.

Yes, if I'm honest I think it's very weird. lol
Have never felt the desire to lift in underwear. That said, I wouldn't leave the house in my compression gear, because it's completely indecent.

I'm aware of the injury and adjusted my workouts so that don't use it. And trying to get it look at is a little bit of an issue. Dealing with the VA and trying to get seen is almost impossible unless I show up in the ER.
Just depressed that I have to cut my workouts. Asking to be motivated didn't seem that far fetch of an idea. Ill reflect and change if needed. Thanks for the advice.
I want to see my body at work. I don't think there's anything weird about it.
and why is compression gear indecent?
You sure about that? I get pretty excited doing deadlifts. Compression shorts may not be appropriate if you catch my drift.

Mostly by virtue of seeing the outline of my cock. I feel much the same way about wearing cycling gear.
well you guys got me there,
once or twice I had to turn around and go to a corner for half minute to .... er...re-focus and concentrate on the lifts I am doing
Ok, I was kidding. I personally wouldn't wear compression shorts. Not my style but to each their own. I get self-conscious wearing certain loose fitting pants that show a little too much for my tastes. I can't imagine showing up in tight shorts. That takes balls. No pun intended.
I do find it hilarious that just the sight of your cock alone is enough to completely distract you from a lift. Hahaha!

did you do an ultramarathon?

I neglected to share a video of that bench pr. x1.25 speed to fit the gram.
I benched again yesterday. Got 3 sets of 5. Most I could have got was 6.

No, I've been doing this: http://www.thesufferfest.com/tour-sufferlandria-2015/
I have done a couple of double century rides though, which are basically equivalent to ultramarathons.

Lol I wear long compression leggings to the gym for leg day. I wear a long enough shirt to cover my balls most of the time. I never feel like I'm getting a hey I see your junk stare. I get compliments most of the time on my legs when I wear them. I like it better, cause usually with everything else I have constant wedgies.
Same
Yeah just wanted to support Sphinx, if that's what he wanted to do. Granted the only one I've seen in shorts was a 5'5'' bodybuilder but eh.
Also went to that show yesterday... Some decisions on placing were strange as hell, but this was a first show and not an established one.
I wear compression shorts exclusively on squat days because it's better for mobility, I've tried with regular shorts but I also get wedgies and it's just uncomfortable.
they are black and I don't think my junk (or the conture of it) is visible but people do stare all the time at my ass.
not my problem, I need those shorts
EDIT: Thanks for the support

Gotta flash them (nonexistent) hairy calves!
Both. Shorts when it's hot and pants when cold. Why limit yourself?

All I wear is shorts.
You'll get over it. I strained my wrist and continued to train with it for a week or more then I said fuck it, I'll let it heal. I didn't do any upper body lifts for 5 months to let my wrist heal. Felt pretty nice to just squat and/or deadlift and call it a day lol.

I was thinking of getting a trainer to help me get more disciplined with my workouts. I want to start working towards a goal that I haven't been able to push myself towards. What are some things I should ask or look for when trying to find a trainer? How can I tell the lazy ones from the ones who genuinely know what they're doing and apply that knowledge to your benefit?
Sorry to burst your bubble early, but if its a commercial gym, theres a 99.9% chance you'll be given shitty programming, shitty advice and will get stuck in a fuckarounitis routine.

I do go to a commercial gym but I also have a friend of a friend who does personal training in his basement. Hes done training for Alberto Umana so I think hes got the experience. I was hoping there would be some question I could ask which would inform me as to their work ethic. But I guess if they're good at BSing you won't know.

On the shorts vs pants thing... any lower body stuff for me is done in compression shorts, commando. But I lift at home. I'd feel like a full on deviant doing that in the gym.
Maybe I'd try compression with underwear at the gym.
Can't do normal shorts on leg day, I find them snagging which distracts me. I could probably do yoga pants! Don't really care what I'm wearing on upper body days, though sometimes I've had shorts catch on the end of my dumbbells.

Then ask who they've trained, what their records are, etc.
I was originally going to write that but if they train at a commercial gym, chances are they'll give you a funny look if you asked something like that.
I wear rugby shorts to the gym. Short enough to be above my knees, and pockets for my phone. They're awesome.

Those are them. I paid 20 bucks for them i think.

What's a good place to get creatine? The Costco near me stopped selling it for some reason.
