He just said a lot of words and then stopped. Definite case of "holy poo poo shut up and tell me the actual information" everytime I watched his videos.

Claims natural while doing steroids and went on long rants about it. Surprisingly not chill guy at times given how chill he tries to seem.

I have nothing against PED use and follow tons of dudes who use, but it looks real bad if you use and dedicate so much time to claiming you don't.

He might have backpeddled and said TRT at some point. Which is fine.

Wait Scooby is on poo poo? I thought the 4chan doxxing was outing him as gay (who would seriously give a poo poo about that).

How could anyone look at Scooby and think "there is a clean, hetero man"? He'd been out and proud (about the gay sex, not the drugs) for years.

Elliot got so badly burned by IE he went hiding for a long time (about the pseudo spiritual garbage he kept spewing)

Scooby and his family got harassed by 4chan, including his boyfriend or spouse or whatever and I think his employer got involved too

Bradley screwed Genuinely Nice Guy Calum Von Moger in their joint fart powder business, made a half hearted apology to him, then demanded Calum take down the apology and every related video. Then people started opening about all kinds of shady stuff with him. He wanted to charge some other youtubers like 30k$ just to appear in their videos, he talked poo poo about famous fitness people in conventions, wears a hat 24/7 because he's so ashamed of his balding, didn't give some youtuber a blanket when he stayed in his house. Now he owns a kick rear end gym which attracts cool people (Hafthor, Klokov), but spends most of his time making retarted click bait videos with titles like I ate 2 tons of pizza where he eats 2 slices of pizza

That's what I've gathered.

Elliot hulse seemed like a dumb bro but I thought he meant well with his videos

Im just waiting for the dirt on the AthleanX guy, he seems cool and legit but I bet he has a sex dungeon or some poo poo

He was cool with helpful tips and advice but then started going off the reservation and just every video he made was him babbling about crazy poo poo and giving people life advice.

He tore a bicep, shrunk and is living in some huge house with his family training people in the garage.

Just did bench press 5x5 with a 45 plate on each side! I know that's baby weight for you guys, but I feel pretty proud. No way I could do that much a few months or even weeks ago. My goal is to be able to do 2x45 plates, but that's a ways off.

I am the sound of cats and hairballs.
Having started my doctorate program, the university gym is full of the roundest lower backs, largest gaps between barbell and chest and shallowest squats I have seen, it is an awe to behold. There's also actual monsters who subsist on nothing but corn and salami who heave stacks of red plates. I am home.

Edit: frying up chorizo to add to my breakfast

My programming has cycles where I incline to above the chest, because I have an injury history in my shoulder and I get the same results as if I go all the way down, except with a decreased risk of injury .

Those dudes, probably not.

There is a difference between 2 inches above the chest and 2 inches of barbell travel

If your arm hits parallel to the ground you don't have to go any lower for tricep/chest stuff.

It took me a while to learn this because I will injure myself almost every drat time if I go below parallel, and parallel is a while before hitting my chest.

So I just signed up at the YMCA. I've been sedentary for.... well a few years pretty much aside from brief stints of kickboxing and BJJ. I also signed up for yoga and went maybe 3 or 4 times last week. I am really enjoying it due to the whole sad brain thing.

I need to finally start weight training. In the weight loss forum in YLLS they mostly recommended Stronglifts. I lost a lot of weight this year, over 30 lbs, but I didn't do it in the healthiest manner. I really have no muscle. I shake a lot during yoga.

I'm hoping to start Monday with workout A of stronglifts. When I signed up at the YMCA I also signed up for a TRX Fusion class thing. I don't know what it is but they said resistance is involved so whatever. I signed up before I decided to start Stronglifts. That's every Wednesday.

Because of that I'm only going to be doing stronglifts Monday and Friday. I was thinking "Oh dear I won't be doing the A B A thing all week." I've come to the conclusion that I don't give a gently caress because anything that gets me in the gym, or anything out of my isolation chamber, will be beneficial.

So this is my anticipated schedule.

Monday: Tai Chi in the morning (I really need poo poo to help my brain). Workout A right after that.
Wednesday: The TRX thing.
Friday: Workout B

I'll be doing yoga intermittently whenever I feel like it as well. This is all a huge jump from sitting in on my reclining couch with my laptop on me and poo poo posting.

Important note. I understand that this is Swoleception, but I'm not looking to get super swole. I know I know. I just don't care. I'm just trying to get out of my house to start with. I also want a place outside of YLLS to post about poo poo.

So basically, hello swole goons. I am hoping to join the journey of swoleness by taking baby steps. Please embrace me.

Don't worry, with your constant relapses and mental issues that's not something you'll have to worry about.

pennywise i would recommend starting strength over stronglifts having done both. 5x5 will burn you out, 3x5 will allow for more long term gains...you can add weight to the bar longer before plateauting

You can also do Greyskull and get the benefits of 3x5 without the constant interjection of libertarian dogma.
