*thinks archaic ethnic slur to self*
*gets really loving angry*
*does a ton of sets/reps*

I've started doing a modified version of the cavefish body building routine. Kind of hard to remember that to rest for 30seconds instead of 2-3 minutes between sets.

Is it worth it to hire a personal trainer to correct some form issues or will they generally get pissy about a ~1x month appointment.

I loving love that quote.

I dunno man. Do you think your form issues are fixable without spending money? And also, there's no gaurantees that a personal trainer will actually be smart enough to fix form poo poo. Wouldn't want you to blow cash on some idiot.

I don't know. The dudes at my gym seem pretty competent. They all squat/dl pretty heavy. I've just been doing rack pulls because I'm a retard who can't deadlift.

Rack pulls are really loving great for that last third of the deadlift. What's up with your DL: you having trouble getting the set up right or pain somewhere during the lift?

The poo poo that's helped me with my DL has been lots of hip mobility stuff, deficit pulls for sets using a ~3" platform (like a 45lb plate to stand on usually), and rows. I'm not by any means a phenomenal lifter but I tripled in the low 400's at 175lb so I'm not awful either.

Do you do that stuff on the same day you deadlift? I finally hit 340 at 170 the other day.

Nice job dude.

Usually yea. Rack pulls or deficit pulling isn't an every day accessory work thing for me so I fit them in for several weeks at a time. If I'm doing a lot of bent over rows/shrug work, rack pulls will be sidelined.

From what has helped me or like my buddies that lift, a lot of guys tend to have a weak point with the initial pull to their knees. Deficit pulling really helps with that. I would keep the weights to about 50-60%-ish of a current 1RM and do 3-5 sets of 5 reps. Seemed to work alright for me.

I stumbled across this 88M human being shitlord E6 private rapist from my last unit in Germany's facebook page making fun of infantry for having a low asvab score.


This is his I'm a 40 year old Staff Sgt who likes to gently caress privates in my unit's tiny loving arms.




Here is a stupid picture of him flexing in black and white where I'm pretty loving sure he's pushing his biceps up.





Day 1 of cardio started.

I ran a mile. Threw up. Did 60 pull ups in sets of 10s. Then 8s. Then 5's. Then I ran back. Threw up again.


Lesson learned:

Don't drink monster before a run.

It's impossible for me to give a gently caress about doing legs like 90% of the time. My hips, knees and back are terrible from airborne stupidity, and my IT band is tighter than a size XXL g-string on a dependapotamus.

And if I do get a good workout I can hardly walk the next day.

I guess I'll just stick to doing 2km rows every now and then and deadlifting when my back doesn't hurt. never

Decided to be extra motivated and go on a 5 mile run at a 8:30 pace.

Ended up doing 2 miles and saying "gently caress this" and went to get breakfast.


Did legs in the afternoon, 10 minutes of cardio and called it a night.

Now with 25% more kimchee.
Did my first half marathon today... after about twenty minutes I was regretting signing up. I had significant shin splint pain and my calves were too tight. I was running worse than my training runs. There were a couple times during the first 45 minutes I had to slow down to walking. I was aiming for 2 hours 40' and was wondering if I could make it in 3 hours. After my first gel the pain dulled and I was able to keep going. I hit the turn around at about 1 hour 17 minutes and for the first time ever managed to run faster the second half. Ended up finishing between 2:29'10" and 2:29'15".

Next goal is to get that time under 2 hours in time for an event 9 months away.

Well if we're sharing routines, here's a pretty typical deadlift day for me. These are sets x reps x weight. And also I use kg plates since that's what the deadlift platform has in quantity.

warm up deadlift
3x6x70
6x85
5x100

working sets
5x120
4x5x130

bent over barbell rows
10x90
6x100
5x5x110

shrugs
2x15x110
3x8x130

chin ups
2x6
Usually I'll do 40-50 for a given day but deadlifting and all the rows and shrugs ruins my hands.

glute ham raise
6x6

You guys come up with some rad routines. I'm just gonna steal all that junk. Right now my primary interest is to increase upper body (pullup style strength because I can only do a shameful 4 in a row) and grip strength, because that's the first thing to go with a lot of my lifts and pullups. I also get really sweaty hands.

Keep strap usage to a minimum. Grip strength goes up pretty quick. Chalk is the way to go and the poo poo is cheap. I bought a huge bag of it at REI for like 2 bucks.

If you can't use chalk, check out Liquid Grip or Arid Extra Dry spray

They both use magnesium to prevent perspiration. Just try not to stuff your hands into your mouth after you apply it.

.23 mile run. Decided running sucks and stopped running and went tanning instead.


Hit legs in the gym, light weight, high rep drop sets, did a 10 minute cool down on the bike, abs, and went to Teddy's Bigger Burger for a double with cheese and bacon.
