For reference, I went down to 140 (5'8") at the end of my last major cut. I definitely lost a good bit of muscle mass from my arms and a little from my chest, but drat did I have abs.

Yeah, I gets down with the homies

Doing shoulder and arm day on Friday, asked bro how many rack pulls he had left in the squat rack, he invited me to do OHP with him. Caught him mirin on my 1 plate press. "Woah dude, you put up sick weight", "yo bro, for someone so small you move mad weight.". He was doing strength poo poo and I'm doing volume/hypertrophy, and he liked my poo poo so much he did the rest of my routine with me. Asked me for.my number do we could go again. And asked for a copy of my routine. Think I got a budding bromance in the works. Im sure in no time we'll be sucking each other off in the shower and sharing salami while admiring each other's physiques.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

Same but 199 and 15%. Knowing my luck it's all muscle, despite doing everything correctly. That or I'm just a pessimist and that's once again manifesting to mansplain anything that goes well :shrug:

r/steroids is pretty bad, the wiki part has good information for getting started but all the threads are guys basically talking about how alpha they are and how every bitch is checking them out and all the hoes theyre loving, its really embarassing.

Well, today is interesting. Tried to lift what I did with deadlift last week, and can barely get the weight off the ground. Why is deadlift so much more neurologically taxing than squats? Today I busted out 5x5 at a higher weight with no problem.

The answer is probably salami, but even so.

Your deadlift working weight could just be closer to your current deadlift max than your squat working weight is to your current squat max.

The deadlift is a fickle beast, what seems easy one week can be quite difficult the next, based on any number of factors.

Or maybe some rear end in a top hat has just been messing with the local gravity.

Pretty much what everyone else (in good faith) said. Deadlifts are hard and they can fluctuate week to week.

man, i've been paranoid i've had some weird poo poo going on with my shoulder lately, and i think it was just tightness. I hadn't squatted in a long while until the past couple of workouts, and i think doing low bar gives them a good stretch because since I started those back my shoulders feel great. i can hoist plywood sheets and 60 lbs of coils over head at work now no problem as well as it feeling better benching and stuff. I should probably buy some bands, they seem really useful for shoulder stretches. What's a good amount of resistance band to get for that?


e: is a bulgarian split squat a good replacement for weighted lunges? my dr suggest weighted lunges to help with my knee issues and its definitely seemed to help but there is no room in my gym to do regular walking lunges. I've tried just doing it in one spot by stepping back but it feels weird

dude, theres literally no room. it's a lovely gym and lunging forward then back feels a little odd like I said. I tried out the split squats with the bench for your foot to rest on and it felt good. felt hard to balance but I guess that's the point. Either way my retarded knee hasn't tried to stop me from squatting/deadlifting in like 2 weeks now so i'm happy either way.
