The amount of food and beer I'm consuming leading up to my wedding might make it a race to a 2x bodyweight deadlift that you've already won.

Today sucked. Last week benched 72.5kg (160lb) for three sets of five with no problems, tried to move up to 75kg (165lb) and barely managed three reps. Oh well, maybe my deadlift will be better tomorrow...

Man, I haven't heard that quote in forever. Good times.

Like a million others, I've been battling tennis elbow/forearm tendonitis forever. Been trying "Wood Lock Oil" as a topical analgesic - it's similar to Tiger Balm. The smell makes my eyes water though, holy hell.

If it's any help I am as well and according to some internet blogs it's probably tendonosis not tendonitis. Basically you're hosed for life and can only manage the pain, but do a bunch of slow eccentric movements and self massage that absolute gently caress out of anything within 2 feet of your elbow. Those are my tips that I've found so far which I'm pretty sure don't even work but I lie to myself so that I can convince myself to keep going.

Totally the same here. Try some topicals if the aches get to you - I like camphor/menthols like Tiger Balm, which you can get at just about any pharmacy. I've been trying Wood Lock for the past few weeks and while it works - the singed nose hairs just ain't worth it at times.

Pssst, hey, guys, we're all reckless drug users.

The Guardian posted:

One in three gym users take drugs or supplements to lose weight � study

More than 30% of gym-goers in the UK use some form of drug or dietary supplement to lose weight, a study has found, amid fears body image anxiety fuels a rise in the use of performance and image-enhancing drugs.

More than 5% of people who regularly attend gyms have gone further by using the illegal stimulant amphetamine for this purpose, according to researchers from the University of Hertfordshire, who have presented their preliminary findings to MPs.

Ornella Corazza, who led the research, links the trend to the rise in the use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) and, with a ban on legal highs on the way, is warning that a profitable market may soon end up in the hands of organised crime.

Currently, with a legal market but lax regulation, many users are taking risks without realising. �The user does not consider himself a drug user as the trend is embedded in society,� Corazza said. �If you buy supplements or sexual enhancers, you think they�re good, you think they�re completely licit, but what we�re finding out is that it�s not always the case.�

Among early findings from the continuing research, passed on Monday to MPs considering the psychoactive substances bill, Corazza and her team found that 31% of gym-goers used products to lose weight, while 47% took them to reach fitness goals.

Results from questionnaires answered by 433 people, face to face in gyms or through an online survey targeted at fitness enthusiasts, showed that four-fifths claimed to care a lot about their physical appearance and almost half followed a diet. But many felt the pressure of such a lifestyle: more than a third said they often felt bothered by feeling down, depressed or hopeless during the past month.

The most commonly used products for weight loss were protein supplements (58%) and herbal products (34%), such as guarana, which contains high levels of caffeine, and ginseng. But to their alarm, the researchers also found an estimated 17% had used amphetamines, 17% had used thyroid hormones (WTF - is this actually referring to something that could also be used for the thyroid but is being massively exaggerated?) and 15% had tried diuretics.

An estimated 40% of those who used products purchased them online, and about 43% discovered them through online fitness forums or blogs. Many respondents said they saw the internet as a reliable source of information, Corazza said.

However, despite their online research, more than a quarter (28%) had experienced side-effects from their substance use, including skin problems, mood changes, headaches, diarrhoea, digestion problems, fast heart rate, irritability and sweating. (oh no, not sweating!)

�There is a concern there about the way they look, the way they perform,� Corazza said. �So they try to do something, they try to find a quick fix, by buying these products online. This is the picture that is coming out.

�A change in legislation is essential, but at the same time we cannot neglect the need for more multidisciplinary studies to better understand the motivations behind this poorly understood phenomenon and respond to it in a more informed way.�(how right you are...)

Dr Andres Roman-Urrestarazu, from the London School of Economics, who has co-authored the evidence to MPs, said: �The [psychoactive substances] bill so far has not been clear about how it will introduce minimum safety measures and harm reduction to the users of NPS. This is crucial, since we do not know the side-effects and safety profiles of most of these drugs.

�More than prohibition, we require broader policy measures that will give us information in regards to the growing number of NPS and how they are marketed online, what are their side-effects and how safe they are for human use.

�Also important is to consider the issue of NPS from a broader European perspective since restrictions and regulating in one country might produce the relocation of the business to a third country inside the EU. This is important, considering the parallel export market for drugs.�

Feel good, everyone, we are today's moral panic (doubles his creatine dose, sweats and punches a mirror).

I took a month off from lifting weights and except for losing all my gains, my back, shoulders and knees feel pretty loving great. I'm seriously thinking of just doing some body-weight workouts and stretches from now on, I'm obviously too uncoordinated to NOT wreck myself with weights.

Did you get in the rack next to him and humiliate him?

If you do the same lift as someone at the same time but with more weight you get to kill them with your weights after you finish

I was deadlifting and trying not to poo poo my pants, which I think was holding me back. Should have gone for the full poo poo.

Youre obviously suffering from severe protein side-effects, and should make sure there are no amino acids in your diet. Also, there is a risk you may also be on a form of diet too.
