Someone find the story from earlier this year where a drunk dropped like, 75 lbs on their neck and died. I'm lazy and not gonna go back 50 pages. It was iron cross day, don't wanna hold the phone that long.

There should be some kind of clause in gym membership contracts that if you find someone dead with a barbell on their neck, you build it up to 3 plates before calling the authorities.

I have failed this Ruined my goddam week. Should've gone to 395 this week, left 405 for the next cycle. I guess 385x3 is not the same as 405x1...

4 times. And the last wasn't much of an attempt. Fixed a minor foot positioning problem (feet about half an inch too far back), but it didn't help. Just got too cocky and pushed my schedule a bit too far. Ruined my god drat day.

I also had a comically hard time loading the weights. I think it's just the spot i was at had a bit of a warped floor. Like, i was cursing and kicking the weights to get them on at points. That may have something to do with it.

It covered a lot but didn't go deep enough with anything. And there was plenty of Kai Greene blathering on about nothing like usual and giving up bodybuilding to do bad performance art that nobody would care about if he weren't huge.

Is it possible to buy a bar longer than 7 feet without spending a ton of money? Running out of space on bar for deadlifts. Looking into whether it'd be cheaper to replace my bumper plates with thinner ones or my bar for a longer one.

Khorne posted:Maybe get some 50kg plates, but they are expensive depending on what you want. I think there are some iron ones for around $160-$180 per set, but generally you're looking at $300 or so for a set minimum. I need bumper plates to save my floor.

Rogue's 25k or 55lb bumpers are pretty skinny, but not cheap. I've got a set of 10s, 15s, 20s, and 25s and they leave a lot of room on the bar when I have them all on. Still going to be cheaper than a longer bar I'd guess, since they're uncommon.

I think I've figured out why my shoulders have been feeling weird boys, I've been going hard on the internal rotation. I did the trick where you hold a pen in each hand and relax, and they pointed inward at like...I guess a 45 degree angle? I dunno, the point is they should be parallel. And it makes sense looking back. I've been going ham setting PRs on Bench and OHP lately, but the only rowing progress I really made is like 10 or 15 lbs on pendlay rows, which I do skip sometimes anyway. I do 3 sets of face pulls twice a week, that's probably not enough itself to counteract the volume of pressing I've done though I bet. Gonna drop Bench and OHP to once a week, I might do some tricep and chest isolation stuff at a light weight as well to keep from losing gains. Going to swap pendlay to regular barbell rows, going to do more pull ups which I used to do a lot, but now that I'm 30 lbs heavier I can only do a couple. I do have a band I can use for now. Probably add in some rear delt rows and maybe one of those light dumbell external rotation exercises too. My range of motion in external rotation sucks rear end, I can't even quite get my forearms in a straight line up and down in the waving hello position. e: Maybe some pushups instead of extra chest isolation. I always heard they are much friendlier to your shoudlers being closed-chain and allowing your scapula to float freely. I'm not sure about that yet though. I also suspect my lack of squats contributed to this as well. I always felt low bar did a good job of giving me a good stretch in the front of the shoulders the whole time during a set. Now that my knee feels good perhaps that will help too. Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 08:51 on May 23, 2017 |

That feeling when you start to look like a half chiseled statue, the simultaneous pride in progress and the horror that it's not coming fast enough. I chew on salami and contemplate my smallness. I am home. In terns of actual progress, I've lost a good 15-20 lbs since I last maxed out and have for the most part recovered my strength

I can never get a chiseled look, i dunno if its because I used to be fat or what, but I always look a little soft still better than 90% of normal people, but never shredded like fuckers I see on youtube For example, my lovehandles are eternal. When my muscle fibers start to be visible in shoulders and chest, my lovehandles remain steadfast and unwavering

I am starting to get a fair amount of excess skin and tbh, I enjoy stretching it in private because im a goon. Also yeah, so far its my upper body becoming more visible and the fact that my chest protrudes further out than my gut helps the illusion a lot, at least while I have a shirt on haha.

just got back from the gym. The only push I did was Bench Press 2 sets of 155x3, then 155x5 on the last set after those 2 which wasn't super heavy for me. The set of 5 was maybe RPE 7 or 8. Pull wise I did regular barbell rows for about 100lbs x 10 for 3 sets, 3 sets of face pulls 50lbs x10, 3 sets of body weight pull ups with a weak band around my knee, and generally things were feeling good although when I got to hammer curls with the rope I could feel it in my shoulder in a weird way so I skipped that. That was weird though, curls have never hurt anything other than maybe my wrist a while back. oh yeah, usually 155 feels heavy when I take a little week or two break like I just did, but the rowing first got my lats feeling good and strong and the bench felt easy as poo poo for the most part and also pretty drat stable. I bet all this back work is going to wind up giving me a much better bench and OHP when all is said and done anyway, so I'm feelin pretty good about things.

I watched this a few weeks ago and have started doing some sort of rows before everything else 4x a week, for 2 full weeks now. Back is noticeably larger and every lift is going up, shoulders look and feel better than ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYaP3yCyHRY I'm lifting 5 times a week now and weighed in at 197 today post dump, almost leaner than I've ever been

I'm thin and have never been close to chubby/fat, my diet is on point and going from lifting 3x a week to 5 is doing wonders, along with swapping out certain lifts for others. I have never gone on a proper cut in my life, I like food I guess.
