Basic shit

Bench
Pull down
Curl
Fly
Tri

Rinse repeat

I used to do the row machine but I kicked that.

So I just bike or jog for my couple miles

I only have dumbbells I don’t belong to a gym so do u have a good routine you can think of for someone just starting out lifting

I'd recommend looking at YouTube workouts with just dumbells. I've done several and they're intense. It's more about reps and variation than weight

 

[Stakesarehigh]

But if you're only running like that to lose weight I'd say that's not a long term good idea.

3 to 4 miles a day is super reasonable

11 is just punishing yourself. Unless you're training for long distance running

See I don’t belong to a gym so I only have dumbbells and right now I mainly am working on my arms and do curls and skull crushers mainly. I use a 25 pound weight for the curls and a 20 pound weight for the skull crushers

You can use those weights for a lot.

Triceps - kickbacks, if you can do 20's
Shoulders - lateral raises. Even shoulder press just do more reps
Arms - sit down curls (elbow on thigh)-a ton of different arm exercises, hammer curls
chest - probably not enough weight. I would just suggest push-ups. Too difficult-incline. Too easy-decline-raise your feet up on a bench or something.

 

[Shanemansj13]

LOL I didn't even mention that bc of his long runs and smaller weights. He can do squats with 25's on his shoulders or ketterbell squats with those dumbbells. Body weight squats, lunges. I figured he just wanted to know upper body exercises

 

[Shanemansj13]

Calves were so hard to build for me. Legs in general but for awhile I trained legs pretty hard and didn't see many results. Just so hard to build muscle and didn't have the dedication that I did for upper body. It's sad lol

I usually do my curls standing up. So your saying I should do them from now on sitting down!

That's another thing that will be interesting.

I don't think that Lebron is the type of parent who would try to meddle. But I can't say I know that for a fact either.

And even if Lebron doesn't meddle...you know that if he doesn't start or if Enfield ever needs to sit him, he's going to be asked about it and so is Lebron.

Besides, if they recruit a high profile player like Bronny then play him off the bench, good luck getting the next high profile recruit.

Just different kind of curls that hit certain areas of the bicep. If you want to mix it up

 

[shopson67]

Is there a reason you run so much

To avoid being home?

I might even avoid driving 11 miles if I could let alone running.

I haven’t run 11 miles in 11 years. Walking is a different story and I am in good shape and pretty fit imo but I workout. I don’t do a ton of cardio

11 miles is a fuck ton of calories. We are talking about 1200 to 1500 calories or so burned.

It would definitely give you the opportunity to eat what u wanted though.
Within reason

 

[tlance]

Not so much in college unless donors get involved. Any real coach is going to put any parent in their place pretty quickly. I just don’t think it’s an issue here because Lebron has to know the kid has to make his own way.

For the most part this is true.

When the parent is LeBron and you have the media circus that comes with it, it is different.

And like someone else said, even if LeBron doesn’t say a single word. There will be immense pressure from media, etc to play Bronny. Maybe more than he deserves.

Depends, imo.

If Bronny isn't starting because he isn't good enough to start, I don't think it will have much effect on that.

Yeah that is a huge calorie deficit. Not counting active calories just from living I probably burn 600-900 a day working out and some cardio. I have a desk job but I do walk around outside at lunch if the weather is nice. 11 miles is insane

Nfl schedule release Thursday. We will have football on black Friday

This.

Bronny is a one and done.
