I benched 5 reps of 285 on my 5/3/1 set last week. Started at ~245 this January. 5/3/1 has worked pretty well for me.

On the topic of high reps, the first week of Average to Savage is killing my rear end. I got 18 reps on the 15+ of bench and that wasn't too bad. It didn't even jack my shoulders up. But apparently I'm a LOT worse at high rep OHP, holding your breath the entire time doesn't work for that. The good thing is Nuckols recommends splitting the first two sets before the amrap, so for a 12 rep set, 6 reps, 30 second rest, 6 reps. Apparently it gives you just as good gains and lets you use better form/not die. It should all work out pretty well in the end. The only issue with the 5x3@90 variation of 5/3/1 is it's not really great for conditioning or building up a base as AtS or regular BBB. Plus you are really supposed to be doing other work with 5/3/1 like the jumps and throws anyway but I ain't got time for all that, my job is my conditioning imo Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Apr 29, 2018 |

Interesting question. Some people hang weights off them for pull ups, some are just fat. Either way the pull ups are harder to do that way.

I recently had a thought, that people who work out can sort of be divided into 2 groups. Ones who work out as much they have motivation or time for, and ones who work out as much as they can while still being able to recover (probably following a program), or as much as whatever injuries they have at the moment allow. It's not a value judgement, just a thought on different perspectives.

Unless you 1) Train enough to be a full-time job or 2) Have poo poo sleep, diet, or stress seriously impeding your ability to recover, you're probably aren't "work[ing] out as much as [you] can while still being able to recover"

The only way your post isn't gay is if your second group is literally "professional athletes"

I didn't say which group I thought I was in.  That's, like, outside the scope of the larger point.There's a lot more to being a professional athlete than training hard, any idiot can train too hard if they have free time.

That's a crossfit reference right, they apparently work harder than what they can recover from which is the worst possible option.

I think I'm going to have to buy some new pants in the next couple of weeks. This slim fit poo poo that I was wearing in January all of a sudden takes a shoehorn to get into. And I'm not even big!

bamhand posted:I got the "athletic cut" from Levis and they're still just skinny jeans on me. The 541s? I have two pairs of those in the same measurements, but different colors. One pair fit like skinny jeans, the other has much more room. Levi’s doesn’t have much consistently it seems from pair to pair.

Yeah. I have two pairs and they fit exactly the same. I also have a pair of 514's in the same size and those are like a pair of tights.

Now that I think about it, the tighter fit is the raw denim, while the looser fit is finished. I had a third pair that don’t fit anymore, but they felt like the same material as my looser current pair, so I do think there is some consistency between material types.

I buy loose fit and they're still skinny jeans. The war on jeans. It's a pain to find jeans that don't strangle my calves to death and that support my dumb hip width (wide hips, hank hill rear end). I have trouble with all of my clothing actually. I have the bizarre proportions of legs of a much taller dude and torso+arm length of a much smaller dude combined with shaped like a vending machine. My feet are nearly as wide as they are long, which makes buying shoes dreadful. Khorne fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Apr 30, 2018 |

I'm seriously gonna have to go clothes shopping soon, at least for shorts and stuff. I put on like 12 pounds since the beginning of March and stuff isn't fitting the way it used to.
