Hallelujah I've found an actual exercise that I can easily do anywhere and feel in my actual goddamn abs. Russian twists are awesome!

It was Malanichev who announced his death, I'm not sure if he would joke about something like this.

I finally did my last plate milestone friends, well the last of the 1/2/3/4 in specific. It was supposed to be a rest day but I went to the gym anyway to spend some time with my brother and hit 315 on the squat. Surprisingly, it didn't feel heavy at all on my back, the only real tough part is my quads firing out of the hole because that's my weakness. Guess all the ab work and pull ups and poo poo is paying off.

I thought about it some and the truth is, the reason I still don't have a gym membership and do regular barbell training is because I don't care enough about it. It would be nice to have numbers to compare on deadlift, etc. and would be much stronger too, but still am lazy to some degree. I work out regularly, but do so in the most convenient way possible. Good news is doing high volume stuff consistently still pays off in many ways. Bad news is, i'm doing crossfit basically.  Do use a 40 kg KB tho, started with a 10 kg, that is progress. Made lots of progress w/r/t weight & body composition. But still, thanks to reading threads like this, the barbell calls. Perhaps now, I am afraid I will fail to meet my own expectations should the attempt be made. Welcome to a dark hour of the soul.

Just go do some deadlifts and stuff. I've messed around with bodyweight type stuff before and it's cool but IMO, and this is obviously subjective, nothing feels better than getting a new deadlift/squat/whatever heavy lift PR. I don't even think it's a macho thing because I'm the farthest thing from that, it's just a sort of deep down visceral sort of feeling like you conquered something big, and it doesn't even have to be heavy. Hitting 315 on deadlift felt just as good as when I hit 405. Benching 135 felt just as good as hitting 225.

I "deadlifted" an engine block a while back, not really just lifted it up enough to move it around on it's corner. Felt pretty heavy. But yeah, just gotta do it.

Pesmerga posted:I can, it’s legal here. Thanks for the tip - do you have any recommendations on what to look for in a good quality oil/warning signs for stuff that’s going to be useless? I'd start with 5 or 10% stuff first. You can't really tell how you're going to react and what dose is good for you, so try a smaller dose and increase or decrease based on your experience. If you get "weaker" stuff like 5%, you can always take a bigger dose if you want a stronger effect. Taking too much usually just makes you slightly drowsy. I have personal experience only from two brands: - Cibdol, supposedly one of the highest quality oils. Retains fluidity so it's easy to take, no strong taste. - Zen CBD, seems to work fine. Thick even in room temperature, really strong taste. Kiki Health is on par with Cibdol from what I've heard.

doverhog posted:Sure, but the comparison to what old snake oil was is not accurate either. It's pretty darn accurate. CBD oil gets called a magic cure all by the likes of that avacodo wolfe guy or whatever pseudoscientific woolooloo scam artist kids are into these days. They claim it'll cure everything from cancer, to diabetes, to gout, to squat butt wink. That's different than claiming a medicinal use based off citing a scientific journal with a decent impact rating, however.

Everyone can look up CBD and make up their own mind, with the internet. It is fundamentally different from old snake oil just on that basis.

Mustached Demon posted:You should also do your own research on vaccines and make up your mind about that too. Is this a fair comparison? It's not like some ancient phage is going to come roaring back to eradicate your children because you did/didn't try out some CBD oil. Basically different risk/reward scenarios. With CBD what's the worst case? You are out some money? I remember some goon would always get snarky anytime you mentioned using a foam roller in the general ylls thread. Like chill out and let me do my drat thing, even if it's placebo. That said, it is good to be skeptical so I'm not knocking that.

It's a dangerous path going down that rabbit hole of doom and sorrow. There's a nice pseudoscience thread in SAL if you wanna really get into the topic of CBD oil.

I guess the lifting gods really want to tell me something when I can do all benching, rowing and shoulder pressing movements fine. But when I dare try to curl a weight I get a small stabbing pain in the shoulder... This is one of the weirder specific muscle injuries that I have gotten.

Yes, the comparison between dead children and some dude rubbing oil their legs and feeling good about it or not is very apt. I've recommended jojoba oil for rubbing into your beard, that probably didn't have medical studies behind it either.
