Like - today I'm benching 2100 lbs, any way I want to get it. It'd be interesting to time it, too. 2100 lbs in 10 minutes, for instance. "Bitch you don't even know - I bench two ten a minute!"

Gym's finally completed their 'functional strength' area with monkey bars, bumper plates, boxes, kettlebells, foam rollers, etc. Very nice actually! Only thing they left out is a deadlift platform. And don't go hating, most of this stuff comes in handy when training for MMA/BJJ.

We also have gymnastic rings, which holy poo poo. Those things are a workout. final2percent posted:congrats i hope to do the same someday where are you keeping your newly acquired home gym? I have a room off to the side we are putting it in. I need to build mats to protect the floor, so for now it's just sitting on plywood until I can get to a farm store. It's a pretty awesome location though, totally isolated so we can blast music. I'm getting my roommate who is active, but not a lifter on SS. We've worked out twice, and man he has a great DOMS hobble right now. FreakerByTheSpeaker fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Dec 17, 2015 |

After 8 months of stronglifts I'm thinking of switching to 5/3/1 and starting to bulk. Is this a terrible idea?

Do people really build any muscle on 5/3/1 rotations All I ever get out of low rep stuff is strength. I never got any decent muscles until i started doing reps in the range of 10-12ish

Speaking of bumper plates, new home gym is on a wood floor. The building used to be a factory, so the structure is stable as hell, but to protect the floor I'm doing tarp/half inch plywood/Horsemat. Will this be enough to protect it, or should I get some bumper plates as well?

Zzulu posted:Do people really build any muscle on 5/3/1 rotations The BBB 5/3/1 program has you do 5x10 of accessory work at half weight after the main lift. So your workout might look something like this: 5/3/1 bench 5x10 OHP 5x10 pull ups 3x10 curls

I thought the bumpers were to protect the plates from the floor, not the other way around.

I have a pair each of 45's, 35's, and 25's and then just load up on regular 35's when I need more weight since they're smaller than the bumper plates. You might run out of bar space if you lift more than 450 though.

It sends your mass into a freefall. You're going to be a tiny little baby child in no time.

Gym story: There's this fat (~300 lbs) dude who I always see in the squat rack at the Y. His usual thing is half squats anywhere from 2-3 plates, and half deadlifts at a similar weight. He has this peculiar stance that puts his legs about 3.5' apart. So far I've resisted being a typical goon splerglord and informing him of any of this. So get this, today I'm deadlifting 275 for reps standard grip and at the end my grip gives out. This guy comes over and tells me how I'm doing it all wrong. I should be looking at the ground. I should be folding like a hinge at the waist. I should always use mixed grip. I was all like uh-huh uh-huh then I banged out a set of 315 sumo.

Despite consistently being the fattest most out of shape guy in the gym, I take comfort in the fact that my squats aren't as pathetic as the bro who does those awful half squats.

Worked out yesterday despite being a little sick, and also my garage flooded so I had to bring up all the rubber floor tiles and try to get as much water out as possible. Not sure if it caused it but fever spiked to 104f last night and I felt like I might die. Working out while sick seems like it might be a bad idea.
