@funbirdapp @sam_gzstrength Bro has never achieved anything that takes more than a week to accomplish

@sam_gzstrength Bro said “hey here’s something that only the absolute most elite specimens of physical health can pull off, so I’m pushing this as the solid achievable physical base for the public so I can grift my workout program”

A SOLID ACHIEVABLE PHYSICAL BASE 185 Press 275 Bench 365 Squat 455 Deadlift 5-10+ chins 6-7 minute mile Its not crazy strong or crazy fast, but do this and you are super human compared to 99.9% of The Population

@sam_gzstrength True

@BenTray2000 Have you tried running faster?

@Bengal_DPT Backwards incline treadmill 15% 1MPH for 5 minutes always fixes mine when I have a knee flare up

Good friend is mid 30’s, in shape, never been hurt, works out 5x/week, has a fancy downtown gym membership. Recently had knee pain, went to see a physical therapist. Has a $100 copay. Every visit they passed him off to tech who watched him do tib raises. Never got better. Modern rehab is broken.

@realEstateTrent POV of someone who gets free food every time I go somewhere

Long line at the airport Starbucks this morning. After using the app and getting my coffee in less than three minutes, I approached someone in line, and told them the app would save them lots of time. She turned, smiled, and said emphatically: “Ya, but I HATE apps!”

@taggartvanetten Noob runner here. What do those do for you?

@Zinzy_v2 Who?

Do we watch the grizzlies games anymore

@mollyhannahm The Grizzlies just make me sad rn. Ja’s limitless potential wasted, traded Jaren to “tank” & we haven’t even moved in the standings. Injury list still a mile long as it has been for 4 years. Just sad stuff rn.

@sweatystartup Nick posting another successful rage bait

I haven't done the following exercises in 15 years: 1. Bench 2. Squat 3. Clean 4. Dead lift I actually think it is ridiculous for non-competitive athletes to EVER do these exercises. Risk of injury simply too high. Much better: 1. Push ups 2. Body squats (kettlebell) 3. Turkish get up (kettlebell) 4. Single leg RDL (kettlebell) Oh and pilates > weight room.

@BowTiedYukon Morning routine:

I’ve been telling you this guys a fucking fruit loop for years

The slop bowls will continue until the deadlift is 500+

@sam_gzstrength Not sure how many hyper trophies I’ve won with all this deadlifting but my back sure is getting big

The more deadlifts I do the less my back hurts. The more squats I do the less my knees hurt. Which is funny because the common advice is that both of these are dangerous

@taggartvanetten @Rob_FitLegacy Fattys can’t walk 130 miles per week

@Rob_FitLegacy you should try running 130 miles per week! i bet you’d see fat loss then!

Unpopular opinion: Running is massively overrated for fat loss. Lift weights. Walk more. Eat in a deficit. Done.

@ZackStrength I love deadlift because it’s the easiest lift to put up the most weight on

you only praise the deadlift so highly because it’s the easiest lift to put up the most weight on.

@positivityofx Takes one to know one ahh Vet

Adam Silver is the worst commissioner in professional sports and it’s not close

@Hybridathlete Looking at the elbows you’re right. May have to try again later🤔

Very nice on the chest to ground part but you didn’t fully lockout until rep 30. The only times you actually fully lock out is when you take those “rest” breaks. Still these are way way better than most people, but if I’m being strict about the standards I wrote, you didn’t hit them.

According to my standards, I can do 43. -chest to ground -full lockout with clear pause at top -no “resting” at the top -body in good plank the whole time Start “resting” at top for >.25 sec? Set’s over. Start worming up? Set’s over. Why such strict standards? Because without them, it’s impossible to gauge progress. And this applies to most things. If I do this standard this time and then next time I let myself rest at the top as long as I want, or not touch the ground, or not fully lockout, and I get 62, did I improve? I have no idea. And does that mean you shouldn’t ever do sets where you rest at the top, or where you don’t do full chest to ground. No! But for testing/comparison purposes, it’s important to have clear standards. And I think these are the easiest to implement to a wide audience. No additional equipment needed, just touch your chest to the ground and fully lockout. Very clear bottom and top of the movement, no ambiguous “arms at parallel” or “4 inches off the ground.” Simple and repeatable. Repost or comment with a video (side view) of your results. I don’t care how many you do, I just wanna see great reps!

@Hybridathlete Read this tweet & thought “that shouldn’t be too hard” gave out at 45😂 195lbs w a 290 bench pr

50 pushups in a row is extermely hard to do. If you disagree, I guarantee your form and range of motion is dogshit. Chest to ground, body in a straight line, full lockout between reps. Still insist it's easy? Post a video.
