@tinamar share picture of potato please!

@jamesl r/maltese

 

[jamesl]

@tinamar you are a patron and a saint.

Also looking up maltese photos for training is such a pain in the ass because it's mostly dog pictures (which isn't a bad thing) lmao

 

[orthodoxcrusaderuk]

@jamesl I wanna see a Maltese doing a Maltese

 

[nagomirov]

@jamesl Nice man good to see a natural transformation for once.

Great inspiration keep up the awesome training.

 

[jonsee]

@jamesl Amazing results we have the same height wish I can achieve like that body tho.

 

[chrisfromdublin]

@jamesl Can we get a transformation journey for Ada, that's what we really want.

Seriously, well done on persisting.

 

[jamesl]

@chrisfromdublin I should but Ada looks mostly the same. maybe in a year or two

 

[nonebutjesus]

@jamesl I am a shite person who gets easily envious but goddamn, this made me proud of you instead and I dont even know you lmao. Keep up the good work man.

@jamesl What are these elbow sleeves and what is their purpose?

 

[jamesl]

@zando They look cool

Also they provide a bit of elbow support. I use them on days when my joints feel sore. Idk how effective they really are but I bought them so I might as well use them

 

[zando]

@jamesl Sounds about right, thanks.

 

[pjegede]

@jamesl i am gonna make myself feel better and say that i am 180cm

you are crazy strong dude.

 

[jermyn]

@jamesl Amazing progress on three of the most difficult holds in gymnastics! Well done!

 

[dawn16]

@jermyn And he didn't do it by training at the minimum effective dose

 

[jermyn]

@dawn16 That's okay! Many people train differently! There's nothing wrong with that. I'm happy for OP and his gains.

 

[thevisionary]

@dawn16 Right. But OP likely could've achieved it at a minimum effective dose, too. No need to disparage one method if both can be effective.

 

[dawn16]

@thevisionary you're not gonna get a strong victorian like efran has if you put the minimum amount of work into your training

 

[jermyn]

@dawn16 Most people aren't going to get a strong victorian like that putting ANY amount of work into their training . That's an extremely high level skill.

 

[dawn16]

@jermyn well if you train at the minimum effective dose you are guaranteed to not get anywhere close to it
