How do you deal with the unstoppable urge to go to gym on rest days?
>>
>>76687278
Desire to make consistent gainz
>>
>>76687283
But lifting is more fun than gains
>>
>>76687291
Yeah that's why i lift 6 days a week..
>>
>>76687291
Yeah, until leg day.
>>
>>76687278
The pain from the DOMS usually stops me, and yes, I still get them years into training. Deep stretch finishers always work.
>>
>>76687361
based doms enjoyer
>>
>>76687278
I work out every day because otherwise I'll go insane. Just do splits, and then do cardio every single day. Also, you can do "active stretching" or lighter reps on muscles you worked previously.
>>
>>76687361
I get doms after very heavy lifts too after 16 years of lifting. But it’s more like light and pleasant tiredness, nothing like hellish noob doms. I miss them
>>
>>76687278
>>76687291
>>76687367
You only do 5x5 anyway, don't act as if you actually spend any noticeable amount of time training.
>>
>>76687495
I do 3x5 and 5x3 on lighter days
>>
>>76687278
Do it, go light.
>>
>>76687278
You’re not working hard enough if you can’t appreciate rest days.
>>
>>76687278
Just go
>>
>>76687278
This wasn't even his final form.
>>
>>76688746
Even during extremely painful doms i long for gym
your a dyel
>>
>>76687278
>just do a few heavy dropsets of low cns fatigue inducing lifting
Strict shoulders arms and forearms are kind of something you wanna be doing 2-3x on top of bench powerlifting, maybe save some back too since going insane for 1hr is gonna rush you to a 1wk+ cns deload. You can do basically infinite specific work and all it does is allow you to bulk more on rest days and be fresh because of the constant surplus more often.
>>
>>76689232
Doms just means you didnt hit those specific fibers in over a week, you can keep lifting and feel sluggish or just continuously lower the rest periods for said technique and work on it till 1wk deload and get it to where its growing. Youre gonna get in a rut anyways so might as well power through it and watch the max weight lower as you get bigger then one day you just rep out your 5rm like a warmup.
>>
>>76687278
Get some pussy.
>>
>>76687278
have a job or study

Rest days?
>>
>>76687278
Have a life
>>
>>76689936
I work from home doing IT stuff and go to gym during work hours.
>>
>>76689232
>still gets doms and has the nerve to call other people dyel
kys
>>
>>76690919
Heavy 1-3 rep ranges always give doms
>>
>>76687278
>How do you deal with the unstoppable urge to go to gym on rest days?
by getting some bussy on grindr
>>
If its "unstoppable" urge on rest days, go to the gym.. but just do cardio instead of lift weights, or maybe do some streching + yoga. Then kick it in the sauna and socialize or some shit.
>>
>>76687278
> roiding and using tren for that

Why did people ever idiolize zyzz?
>>
>>76687278
Do a Sheiko routine. The urge will not be there.
>>
>>76687361
which ones are the best for DOMS in the legs and chest
>>
>>76690923
Nope. Almost all of my working sets are 1-5 and I never get Doms.

If all of ur workouts are high intensity low reps you shouldn't feel it later.
>>
>>76687291
>resing would be better for gains
Its almos impossible to get cns fatigue from lifting legs 1x/wk half assed/vertical work and doing other shit basucally to consume calories and eat more. You get more of the benefits of cutting since youre already rebuilding muscle AND have more protein/carbs so youll be at a surplus for like half a day at worst to fuel the workout. So like say i did pressing for the last 4 days, i can work on back/legs/core/arms/delts(maybe wait 1 day usually better to do chest delts rest) on rest days.

This is actually high level programming, my shits kinda sick lately.
>>
>>76692057
For me its more if im doing something that hits specific fibers. Like the last doms i got is:
>mp/btb kinda cheating to put weight on the bar
>reverse/incline bench not so heavy but stricter on whatever fibers
>double rope triceps but twist in and push like a backhand
>weighted pullups/dips
>some lunges wih the weight on the back leg
>pullovers/pulldown variations on the tricep rope

I get pretty pissed being months/weeks into lifting hard and i get doms since it takes almost a month to even get significan progress.
>>
If you’re struggling on rest days just go to the gym every day. You aren’t training hard enough for it to be a hindrance for you, obviously. Rest days can just be taken when needed. Your body + experience will tell you when it’s time to stop, which is far more convincing than some hard coded program nagging you to rest for a day
>>
supposedly people only get doms from eccentric movement overloading
>>
>>76692145
this is the correct answer
>>
>>76692150
Ime its just basically doing an eccentric on the concentric that activates the fibers. Aka i find the rom with light weight then do it normally and add weight.
>>
>>76687278
hike, fish, play a musical instrument, mediate, read, do chores, & watch movies.

Generally somewhat in that order.
>>
and what about the gay orgy urges in the gym locker room
