Good friend got married 2 weeks ago and apparently people thought I looked good in the one they stuck me in. Though those people are american and I blew out one of the legs when it came time to dance.

I drunkenly block pulled 655 about a month ago and now I'm taking a break from deadlifting :shobon:

But I'm not particularly strong at anything at the moment. Been doing a bunch of hypertrophy training.

I finished my cut months ago and it's summer so i dont want to bulk yet (want to look good wtihout a shirt :grin:) and it feels strange to just eat at maintenance. Feels like I'm not moving in any one direction and just treading water :negative:

Two or three months of good maintenance after a cut are enough to get you physically and psychologically settled in at your new weight.

If you aren't at 12% bf yet and you'd like to start cutting again, you have this shrinking idiot's permission.

i hate my retarded bullshit garbage gym. it's really tiny...in fact it used to be the blockbuster video...or movie gallery actually. It's a small video store size gym and the owner oversells the gently caress out of memberships. This isn't a "goon too timid to ask to work in" post, I had to do it at the Y all the time, it's more literal claustrophobia. why the gently caress is it so packed at 9pm on a monday of all days? I guess I'll try going back at like 10 or 11

yeah there is a good powerlifting/bodybuilding style gym that's 3 stories and literally just as cheap, but it's about 10 minutes from my work in the other direction I live. I've been meaning to just have a membership to both since they are both cheap(Dumb movie gallery gym is like 2 miles from my apartment) but I was building my savings back up a bit. I get paranoid about my car because it's getting old and I try to avoid unnecessary driving. If I have enough money to buy a new one then I really wouldn't care. So hopefully in another month or two. The good thing is the movie gallery gym is always empty at like 2am when I get off work, and that's like 90% of the time. Just irritating because I want to get a good workout in on my off days as well


e: The other gym even has a platform and bumper plates so if I feel like I haven't gotten injured enough lately I can do some power cleans

Finished about a month ago, was happy with the results. Going to start up again in a month or two and see if I can reveal the rest of my abs.



Putting extra time/money into going to a good gym is one of the things in life that'll get you huge rewards. Having knowledgable people watch you lift in person will sort out a lot of the issues goons can't.

whoever suggested trying dumbell lateral raises one handed with the free arm hanging onto something a while back, thank you. They felt much better and I feel like I actually managed to isolate my side delt pretty well and kept my traps mostly out of the movement. I've only just completed the first wave of 5/3/1 but I'm really digging it so far. Also squatted successfully without my knee exploding. I tried to do some barbell glute bridges but I slid off everything I put my back against, ugh. Next time I"ll stack some yoga mats to sit on because the benches there were a little high up on my back, like almost to my rear delts.

e: one arm lateral raises - do you still keep your body vertical or do you tilt to the side to change up the angle any?

Feb 22, 2003

Im the one who told you to do that and I recall someone giving me poo poo for it. Whoever that was fuckin eat it scrublord. Keep your feet at an angle so that when the arm holding said db is hanging perpendicular to the ground so it is free of obstuction from your leg/hip.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
How long should I stay away from lifting weights after hurting my lower back?

It was nothing serious, but every time I try to go back to squatting or deadlifting, the pain comes back. Also, what are some good exercises I can do to work on my strength while not risking my back in the meantime?

Just a tweak. No real issues, but when I think it's all gone away, I'll try to lift and it starts to come back. The first time I thought I'd just work through it and I was hosed again.

What's hurting exactly on the squat or deadlift? Like, does it hurt on extension?

Just do relatively low weight iso work while you recover, low weight should mean you won't try to recruit your back to help.
