Constipated posted: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. That all makes sense I'm just jealous.

Constipated posted:Haven't you been cutting for the better part of 3 months now? Yeah, this is actually my last week. Smoking some ribs on friday and going to eat as many as I can fit in myself. Jealousy is at anyone still relatively new to lifting. Being a gym senior means my gains take months. Time posted:I woke up today in a sweat because I had a nightmare about contest prep lmao lol

Rodenthar Drothman posted: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. Just curious but how long are you idiots leaving between attempts? For 1rm

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Just curious but how long are you idiots leaving between attempts? For 1rm Between 1 and 2? Not long at all, was basically me yelling "gently caress", readjusting my feet, and trying again. It was the closest i got. Next 2 were also in quick succession after a while, but as i said... #4 was basically nothing. I usually don't even try again. In my experience if you fail a big lift, you're done. Go hit the showers. But i was pissed so i tried again.

You'll want to put some cum on there too, to really seal it in. But not your own cum because you don't want to be tired, go to the locker room and see if a gym bro who is done lifting can help you out with that.

bamhand posted:5x10s on leg day feels basically like HIIT. I do not like it. I did this on tuesday with the same weight that I did a 4x8 at the previous cycle, except now it's further into the cut and my calories are lower. my legs hate me. 285 isn't a heavy squat, but doing it 50 times loving sucks.

Happy to be back to strength work and increasing calories this weekend.

One failed deadlift rep for any reason whatsoever -> end of workout. Anything else is just asking to pull something in my back and be out of the gym for a week or two. Mind you, I'm old-ish and have a wonky back in the first place. Deadlifting on a regular basis without loving up is, however, the best thing I've ever done for my back.

I've officially graduated from my cheap 45lb adjustable dumbbells at home. Anyone has the PowerBlock dumbbells? Are they okay? They look stupid but I need something that can go heavy without taking stupid amounts of space. Also checked out the traditional adjustable dumbbells with plates but they all look like cheap crap on Amazon

They look stupid but I need something that can go heavy without taking stupid amounts of space. Do you care about looks? I got a cheap set of standard adjustables but they work fine. Unless you plan on doing bench I guess. It's hard to get into position when you can't rest the ends on your thighs since they're kinda sharp.

He power block things are good but make sure you line them up right before setting them down or they can get jammed up and not switch right ever again. Take care of them tho and they save you so much space and rule

the secret is to make your back so hairy you won't know if the skin is peeling. then your wife shaves it off because she hates it, and you get sad at the skin. lifehack
