Tonight was not a good night. Got in my deadlifts and left. Idiot working a "circuit" who really just wanted to stare at everyone and the two dudes workin out in their camo gear. I go in late to avoid these people but they find me anyways.

I'm doing a low impact week because I was hurting all over. Reducing some weight and do one less set. Is this what getting old feels like?

ive never really read into programs beyond "do this on these days" so what happens if I fail mid set? should I give it a rest and try to finish the set at the same weight? kick it down a few?

???

i mean other than hanging myself because failing a squat makes you feel like a babychild

Finishing your set with a lower weight is better than sitting it out entirely imo. But then again I'm a weak little man so don't listen to me.

Knowing nothing else I'd take a rest, get the rest of your reps in at that weight, then throw in a couple extra sets at a lighter weight.

Then get enough sleep and food

I've become so swole I'm no longer allowed to drop plates at work. The mail room is underneath me and apparently the constant slamming of bars is stressing them all out and they can't put the mail in the right slots or something.

At no time should one enjoy their exercise.

Seriously though, it was the St. Paul Classic and I did it with a group of all ages and skill levels. It was a blast.

Eating all the extra protein is going well so far, I'm actually able to lift more poo poo IMAGINE THAT

Was able to 5x5 85 pounds OHP for the first time last night and I'm pretty close to doing 5x5 of 135 on bench for the first time so that will be cool

Maybe one day I will be less of a pathetic weakling

Rhino, you did this to me!

I've been waffling between continuing Alfalfa 4 (which I do enjoy) and something with a bit more volume like Cavefish. Is the Cavefish workout still considered a good one?

I've been doing cavefish for a few weeks now, been good to me so far. This is literally my first real bodybuilding program though so I don't have a lot of perspective to compare.

Leg day waspretty nice, squats and leg presses are always fun. Exercising during a cymbalta withdrawal, not so fun. RIP forgetting to take in prescriptions.

Isn't the cave fish workout pretty thorough? It's not very goon of you guys to be doing that. Please go back to starter strength and washing down whole chickens with protein shakes

the only good protein is rabbit meat that has less calories than you expended chasing the fucker down and slitting his throat over a cup of supplements to make them taste like something other than cancer
