Don't use bands either. 4 weeks before I went to boot camp I could barely do 5. I did this program for 4 weeks and got 12 on my IST in MCRD San Diego. I wasn't even doing the push-up portion. Do you really find curls and lat pulldowns help chin/pullup numbers? I find they're terrible and adding weight to chins and pullups is best by a mile For reference I could do 3 sets of 12 chins at 230 lbs, used 25-45 lb weights at 6-8 reps to get better for the most part. Lat pulldowns seemed quite useless and maybe curls helped but I dont really know genderstomper58 fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Feb 4, 2012 |

Hard work does pay off eventually, but drat does it hurt. Nooooooo you quoted it But seriously 135 is drat low unless youre like 5 nothing is all Im saying. I dont know about unhealithy low or anything but still crazy low. And yeah low carb sucks and makes you loving miserable, also I dont care what some people in w&w say, it cant be healthy to eat that much saturated fat in everything. Complex carbs rule anyways

Rrail posted:Maybe I should just get a scrip for anabolic steroids or HGH. How bad is a cycle of steroids for you, again? Just test isn't really bad for you at all. Orals are much worse for you because your liver has to process them. If its just hormone therapy you don't have to worry about poo poo like PCT after a cycle because hormone therapy poo poo is basically for life Honestly if I did a cycle of test I'd be more worried about properly injecting/having a good source/cleanliness than the actual testosterone itself. HGH I have no idea because its loving expensive and before made synthetically it was literally stolen from dead people

MurderBot posted:Testosterone can be dangerous if you don't cycle correctly. You get a lot of bad side effects from the use of testosterone, however many things such as shrunken testicles, and back acne can resolve on their own. However, bitch tits and severely increased hair growth can be permanent. I wanna take test so my 90% beard will fill out

MurderBot posted:pro hormones aren't all that great, unless you take a huge load of them. All they do is de-methylate the compound and sell it. the bioavailability after metabolism I believe is like 10-20% potency of the actual steroid. depends if you live through 4 weeks of mdrol get back to me(though i'll never do it again it was god drat AWFUL)

psydude posted:Is it resting on your deltoids? If you don't seat it properly when you first pick it up then it can ride a bit too low and sit on your clavicle, which is painful. Yeah but I just don't like them in general, they murder your quads though I'll give em that. I also feel back squatting helps deadlifting way more and don't really care how big my quads are for the most part

Veins McGee posted:I'd ask in YLLS but I don't feel like being called a retard for not reading a 125 page thread. When I squat, I can't keep my heels on the floor around the point that my thighs are getting parallel to the deck.* I can squat if I put my heels on small weights but I'd like to be flexible enough to not need to do so. I also don't want to buy special shoes in order to squat. What should I do to improve my flexibility? it sounds like you lean way too far foreward towards the bottom, it isnt really terrible to use some small plates over your heels tough, works the quads more. it took me a long time and massive amounts of youtube spergin but the thing that finally made squats click for me was being told to break at your hips, not your knees. maybe itll help another goon out there some fateful day~ also before squats to stretch i get in the deepest squat stance i can manage and hold it for 20 seconds, really loosens me up  converse are gay and dumb

basically the first motion of a squat shouldnt be to bend your knees, but your hips/waist/we the gently caress its called, this keeps my knees from shooting forward and keeps my torso straighter, thus the weight will be felt further back on ur feet. if that makes sense the bar youre talking abt is called a safety squat bar iiirc, they own i wish i knew a gym that had one

rear end to grass only and not looking up are pretty dumb tbh Idk what the gently caress you mean by high school coaches or whatever because pretty much the standard for a proper squat is parallel most idiots in the gym do 1/4 or 1/2 of that which is dumb genderstomper58 fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Sep 16, 2012 |

Veins McGee posted:I don't have any real shoulder issues. I'd just like to give them a rest from barbell benching for a few weeks. I think I'd prefer to do dumbbell exercises over barbell and incline over flat. neutral grip db benching? i havent done them in forever but they're easier on your shoulders iirc Really not many good compound chest lifts that don't involve shoulders to some degree my chest day is pretty simple and i've never had shoulder issues but 3 of them stress your shoulders decently flat bb bench incline db bench dips skullcrushers

I will say that, internally, its really well designed and protects your back from getting roughed up. The straps are okay. Everything else is fine. my made up number probably heh

I have a few friends who had the zipper break or have some fabric tears and all they had to do was pay to ship it to the company and have it repaired for free. Sounds like they're quality made. Heh. What I'm saying is for 300 bucks you probably shouldn't know multiple people who have already broken them if they were worth that much
