Instead of getting really strong I'm having better results with doing minimal exercise but hanging around really out of shape people.

Deadlifted 315 for the first time today. So that's nice.

Doesn't it suck when your streak of awesome gym days comes to a halt?

I've been setting PRs for the last week generally going 110% and today sucked rear end. No interest in lifting anything, I had 0 pump and almost skipped arm day. I think the volume caught up with me. I've been stuffing my face but the scale is stuck so I'm going to do a cycle of 6oz chicken, 1lb of sweet potatos, pasta and veggies and get fat as poo poo.

boring again tonight. my squats are getting deep, though. can't wait for my knees to give out.

Blast n cruise life bro. Chicken has a short ester so I've gotta consume twice a day.

Try chicken hex its the best of both the long and short chicken esters and you only need to intake it every 4 days.

Advantages of being large: could double overhand 315 the first time I lifted it.

Not taking potshots at 315 either. That's a big deadlift milestone.

Yeah. My deadlift is more than 50% ahead of my squat weight wise. At the rate I'm going with dumb injuries, my bench is going to catch up to my squat and it started so much lower.

You squat more than I do. :(

My legs are looking big now that they're the only thing I've been training.

Weight was up as high as it had ever been after christmas. I've added another 4lbs to the scale in leg pump since. God help me if I'd been training upper body as well, I'd be breaking all my chairs.

I need to cut but every time I start I catch another cold.

Forgive me swolethread for I have sinned, it is the first time I've stepped foot inside this thread.

In other news an acquaintance of mine has joined the gym, he's 250lbs, eats like absolute trash and isn't willing to change that yet wonders why he's still fat. He's bought some Alpha A5 fat burners because his favourite juicehead Aarron Lambo sells them and he thinks he's going to get as jacked as Lambo despite Lambo admitting to doing cycles of roids since he had pocket money. My main annoyance with him is the fact he's posting up poo poo about spending loads of time in the gym but has never touched a barbell. I want to beat him to death with a barbell. I will use this rage instead to lift heavy things later. Thank you for listening.

Leg day again :shepface:

Unplanned increase an extra 10 lbs. Girl next to me was squatting 95 lbs and thrusting her rear end out so far she was basically twerking.

I'm not gonna complain.

Dear logging and serious questions thread,

Today I failed a 405 squat ( :( ) but I got a 445 double over hand deadlift ( :) ). My question is: how do I prevent work stress from effecting my workouts?

TIA

A stressful job still does more good than harm to your workouts if it lets you buy all the chicken breast and horse drugs you need to grow a thick, solid, tight frame.
