What if we took Isaiah Thomas in the 2011 draft and he evolved into a star 6th man/eventual starter for us, would LeBron have stayed?

Almost done finishing my gym I built. Topping it off with this GOAT gigantic poster framed.

Spoiler:

Gym pics?

My gym work at the moment is pretty nonexistent. I hit the treadmill once a week.... Too much heavy lifting caused some breakdowns. Having to recover. Will go medium weight at most for a while when I get back.

Spoiler:

sry for delay, I was frozen and took it in a hurry. I still need to buy plates and a squat rack. I know am pretty bad at painting the walls lol.

Fitness... well not really, more of a habitual thing. I use to be a Boxer and would do over the top things to keep that psychological advantage that most don't have. I don't box anymore but I still keep that work ethic(I still go to the gym to spar and etc.), I would probably freak if I felt like I was slippin' lol

Good stuff! stay moving & motivated. There's nothing better than releasing those natural happy hormones, endorphin's, than when you exercise.

I use to play league ball until injuries got the best of me and then got into running. Started entering 10/15km events. did my first half marathon, 22km last year and planned on doing a full marathon. Unfortunately again injuries have hindered me. Been a pretty bad year in regards to staying fit but starting to get back into things.

wish there was less lebatard on 790...

dude pushed zaslow show earlier, then 2hrs after they go off, we get another hour of lebatard on tape delay. i want to hear live ****, otherwise i'd listen to podcasts.

Damn I'm such a fan of the dead pool comics this Friday can't come soon enough it's gotten very good reviews all over Internet for the Movie.

Just got back from seeing it, it was incredible. I think you can put it in the pantheon, with the first 2 Nolan Batman movies, Spiderman 2, and Winter Soldier, as far as great comic book movies go.

Of course I went into it with skepticism because I thought it was being overhyped, so don't let my hyping of it ruin it for you, but it way exceeded my expectations.

They can start Ethan's show right after Eric and Leroy.

The lebatard show is...different. I thoroughly enjoy it and have never switched it off. It feels like I'm listening to our board being read over a microphone.

But I don't feel the need to hear it twice.

darn, i had no desire to see deadpool. now going to have to see it.

That new Game of Thrones teaser...

Does anybody have any tips for a beginner like me when it comes to weight training?

I've lost a lot of weight through dieting over the past 7 months but I want to start getting into lifting weights.

I really am a beginner, I have no base. I've literally never lifted in my life.

Thanks in advance.

Training wise

1) Stick to compound movements; Squats, Bench Press, Barbell Rows, Deadlifts etc... Create a base, a foundation first, whichever exercises target more than 2+ muscle groups simultaneity.

2) After Compound movements, hit Isolation exercises; such as Bicep Curls, Shoulder lateral raises, front raises, Tricep pull downs ect... These hit single muscle groups, always do these after major compound lifts. You have many to your desire, can pick and match with whatever, long as its acceptable to your training and whatever you're trying to bring up.

3) In terms of Split(training schedule) as in 3 or 4 day split, such as; Chest/Tri (Mondays) Bi's/Back/Shoulder (Wednesday) Legs/Core (Friday) Honestly this comes down to you, I've picked a simple bro split for you since you're starting off. Later down your journey you can lift 6/7 days etc or whatever you prefer. But I've listed examples either way, you can do what suits you to your own schedule.

4) Volume/Intensity - How many Sets/Reps are you willing to do? For basics, go for around 15-20 Sets max each lifting. Repetitions around 6-12 reps for Hypertrophy which is the key to building muscle, anything under 5 reps is usually strength base training and not muscle building. (Again, if you want to do that, that's fine too) Oh I completed forgot to add rest periods between sets. Which would be 60-90 secs max.

So example; Bench Press set of 4 sets.
1) 6-12 Reps
2) 6-12 Reps
3) 6-12 Reps
4) 6-12 Reps

5) Drop Sets, a very good tool, now depending on how much you lift, you can lower each weight down as you go down sets. (I always do this) So I can punch out more reps and not tire myself out on the same weight for all 4 or whatever sets. I'd drop down 5 pounds each set.

6) Form. Probably the most common and important thing when it comes to bodybuilding. Having a good form will really have that ability for you to not injure yourself as well as building muscle in a proper fashion. I won't lie though, as I when I do lift heavy, my form deteriorates but I still try to have strict form much as possible. Try to have that mind+muscle connection, whenever you're hitting a body part as you do the exercise targeting it, always envision the muscle group really tearing and pumping, psychological aspects of training is very helpful and powerful.

Well so for gave you the gist of it, didn't want to go overboard with it lol.

What about cardio? Anything you do in that regard. If you were trying to cut instead of bulk for example.

Do some cardio (20-30mins light stationary running or biking any of those boring stuff unless you run or play ball regularly or something) and do lightweight higher rep(12-20) full body lifting QUIZ.

I've never met HWR in person, but despite his goodboy nature I expect him to be a pretty big dude with his pretty intense routine.

For someone to be cut it's mostly diet and some exercise (I think body-weight exercise like pushups, pullups, situps, leg raises, lunges, squats are totally fine for this purpose). We don't even need to lift that heavy at all, just try to burn out your muscle (high reps) and eat small portion many times a day. It is easier said than done though. I like big meals + snacks (pretty much no hope of being cut this way lol).
