Anyone else just pound back whatever preworkout makes them feel like they're sweating on the inside, without any care for the ingredients?

Dum Cumpster posted:1) I'm hoping you weren't just using the RP diet app to cut I did use it (RP app) for a cut with RP physique template and it worked pretty well. I'm doing this just to try it out since its 28 days and want to see if its even doable. Only downside for me would be having extra protein powder, plazma, and fish oil laying around and I'll eat all of that up either way. Helios Grime posted:Does this take into account of the people's bodyweight? Cause that would put me at roughly a 2000cal deficit. Those calorie counts are with the normal diet + 4 day/week exercise routine they recommend. You would need to adjust accordingly. I haven't been doing it that long and train ~1-1.5hr a day (split) so I'm sure there will need to be some additional calories in there. I'm doing 2 workouts a day so it's likely just an additional 450 calories via Plazma. I'm also only going to focus on my kettlebell routine, swimming, and running over the next month. The reason it interests me is that when I was morbidly obese the diet the doc had me on was a VLCD and I was training 4x a week on that with around 800 calories per day. This seems similar but geared towards retaining lean mass so I figure why not give it a go.

I did the Velocity Diet back in the mid-2000s and got great results from it, but holy poo poo was it miserable. Best of luck.

Just finished my first PL meet. Went 7/9 and totalled 1105ish. I made a really dumb call on third squat and I was half dead by the end of deadlifts but glad I tried it.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:what were your lifts Ended up with 369 / 264 / 474 I think, if I'm converting from kg right. My failed attempts were 400 squat and 501 deadlift. The Squat was real dumb, 390 was probably there. I just wanted the pretty number.

It is good to go 9/9 on a first meet, but at the same time, like Dave Tate says, if you went 9/9 you probably didn't try hard enough. So don't feel bad! I have my 2nd meet coming up in April and I'm absolutely gonna go hard on squats because I usually get quite a lot out of a peak for them, at least I did at my first meet.

Finally felt good enough to try some overhead squats again. After a few sets and with an embarrassing amount of weight on the bar I felt a sharp pain in my neck that quickly radiated out. So that's a new one! I was able to stretch and work it out, mostly, but it's still sore and I'm not looking forward to how it feels in the morning.

I lifted in the 83kg men's open class, so I was expecting at least someone else. But 95% of the people there were lifting equipped, so nope. Made for a stark contrast since I don't even use a belt.

I started dieting thru the RP App today. My breakfast today was 250g of 0% greek yogurt, 30g pure peanut butter, 30g of instant oats and a protein shake. I will be consuming what I consider astonishing amounts of protein. But I have a wedding to go to in Greece at the end of may and I want to drop this spare tire and look awesome so, sacrifices must be made.

Using the local cheap as hell econo-gym while it's too cold to go out to my shed gym is fun. Lots of scrawny university lads, staring wide eyed in wonder as you put their weight on the bar and military press it. Makes me feel all warm and tingly (that may just be the pre-workout)

Anyone ever get stretch marks after a serious pump? Every once in a while I get these tiger stripe looking stretch marks on my pecs near the armpit and they last for a couple weeks before they go away. I'm not using any kind of preworkout or anything except caffeine.

I guess they do kinda stick around and if I look closely I can see them. They are really pale and white(just like me!). Maybe remnants from when I first started lifting years ago?

They probably just show up better when you are all flushed from working out.

My lower back is full of horizontal stretch marks from when I grew from 5'1" to a STATUESQUE 5'8" in a short period of time. They used to be bright pink and extremely itchy. Now they're just really, really light. I've got some on my legs, near my knees. These I think I got from lifting.

At the end of my current strongman program I have five weeks exactly before a memorial feats of strength gym day thing with friends/family ("celebrating" 5 years without my brother). I want to try to pull a new PB deadlift at a much lower body weight than I was before. What kinda peak can I set up in those 4-5 weeks?

I'm always interested in knowing what people are running so to speak I'm at 220 right now, if I can get around 200 by may 24th I'd be thrilled. The program has me at about 200g protein per day, which feels like a simply absurd number but I know it's not (it just FEELS like a ton)

How does your volume work look like by the end of your strongman training for DL? You could maybe do something like this (for 5 weeks) I pilfered this together from the Barbell medicine template I'm using right now that peaks for a competition: Do your accessory work like normal but keep volume low, don't go and do 10 sets of 10 RDL with RPE9. This is just for your lift that you want to maxout on. Week 1: - Try for an easyish single at RPE8 - Do a 4 Rep set from the above estimated 1RM at RP9 - Do some volume work for 2-3 sets with below 5 reps for RPE 7-8.5 Week 2: Same as above but add 1-2 more sets of volume work Week 3: Try for a slightly heavier single, RPE 8.5 2 sets of 5 with 75% e1RM 3 sets of 3 with 85% e1RM Week 4: Work up to a single at RPE9 85% e1RM x 3 reps x 1 set 89% e1RM x 2 reps x 1 set 85% e1RM x 3 reps x 2 sets Week 5: Drop all accessory work 1 day - 1 rep @ 8, 3 reps @ 85% e1RM 2nd day - work up to your opener i.e. 1 rep@8 Rest until the day you want to do your lift.

Velocity diet one week review: Brutal as hell but effective. I'm pretty busy during the day so pounding a few protein shakes makes life easier. By the time I get to my post dinner shake I'm pretty much tired of eating until I wake up the next day. I've already dropped 7.5 lbs, which is most likely a lot of water weight. I haven't felt light-headed or low energy (give me another week or two).

Since I can't squat or do anything overhead I've decided to try and rebuild my bench. Doing 6×3 two or three times a weak, going up linearly because... that's what I felt like doing. Also doing paused reps which I only did as an accessory before. Back up to 225 easily. Benching is fun again.
