I'm up to 4 or 5 coffees a day now.

It used to work as a preworkout but now the workout's just an excuse to drink more.

I'm back to pooping at least twice a day. I've dropped more weight since I quit smoking weed and drinking any alcohol/beer, and now I'm back on the ECA stack, so I'll probably lose some body fat in the coming weeks. Feels good man

Nothing for lower body but I do 2 rounds of this shoudler warmup/injury prevention video that used to get linked a ton in the work out forum. I'm trying to find it but I think it was taken down... But yea its like 10 movements of 10 reps that gets your shoulder in like every way, i swear by it!

Have you tried using suicide grip? OHP feels a lot better with it, imo.

How do you hurt your wrists while overhead pressing? This is the real question.

Stop bending them CHINATOWN, and make sure the bar is over your wrist. Just put your thumb under the bar lined up with it (or like slightly in front but straight with it? not sure how to describe), and then grip normally without moving your hand. You will end up holding it normally, and not freakishly like the SL image someone posted, but the bar will be in the right or at least a similar spot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqKhLR1zRaU

I always liked this video. It shows decent grip width and grip position. Another trick for not holding too wide is to get your elbows out in front of you and then move them in until you are tapping your lats.

Anyone else ever work themselves into having low blood sugar in the morning? Do that one last set and immediately think: "oh, that was bad. I need some juice..."

I'm physically incapable of doing some lifts properly in the morning. Deadlifts require 3 hours of nervous system bootup.

I work out best in the morning but then im sweaty and hungry all day at work.

I work out best exactly at lunch time (breakfast digested so I got energy and it's still early in the day so I'm not worn out by work yet) but there's no gym nearby so I can't go to the gym at lunch.

At my old job the gym was right next door so I could just go down and work my butt off for 1hr and then head back up and have some whey for lunch

but alas this does not work anymore. I also can't go after work because if I drink PWO at like 5-6 (when I arrive home from work) I can't sleep at night

So the mornings...is all I got. It works fine, but I've noticed that deadlifts are a lot shakier. Like, my body isn't entirely awake yet so I can't stabilize as well as I do in the afternoons and stuff

Yeah, it was deadlift day. Then i did a couple other workouts, and then sat in the locker room for 5ish minutes before i could stand back up to shower.

This is about the most objective strength comparison you can get, based on 12,000+ actual competition results spanning 4 years in the largest, strictest, and most competitive drug-tested organization in the sport.

That's actually very subjective. It's good to know that as a casual bro with an inconsistent diet and training regiment, my workout reps for my weight class are somewhere around the 5 to 10 percentile of max competition lifts. But my deadlift doesn't even chart until I lose 50 lbs, haha.

I want to know how I compare to the other average hoi polloi.

Deadlift is the only lift I have that charts at 105kg. Well, I am closer to 93kg now I guess. My 185lb poverty bench sure as heck isn't charting. Over 4 plate deadlift is though.

I dunno if my military press would chart if it were on it.
