I'm 195 and I can see abs if I flex. Can you not see anything at all or do you just mean your abs aren't chiseled?

Haha what in the gently caress is this? "Abusing whey protein and the like can also put gym goers at risk for other health problems such as body dysmorphic disorder, also known as muscle dysmorphia, and related body image disorders." Do I also abuse water when I hydrate before/during workouts?

notZaar posted:That seems a little excessive. Allowing 5 minutes between sets (which is drat long) and at most 60 seconds to complete a set, that's 25 minutes for one extremely difficult 5x5. I do 3-4 minutes between each set and yeah, heavy squats. Probably not super heavy for you forum SUPER STARS but 3 plates at 5x5 is pretty heavy to me. Speaking of squats it's fine to leave your rear end a couple inches above the ground right? I have trouble stopping at parallel with heavy weights and can only go rear end to grass.

It feels harder and uncomfortable. I mean I don't drop like a rock to the bottom but I find I come to a natural stop when I can't physically go any lower. Like I feel like I can do more weight going lower, which seems like the opposite of everyone else. E: Just took a measurement, I'm about 4-5 inches from the ground. bamhand fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Aug 10, 2015 |

nnnotime posted:If you have problems getting past parallel This is the opposite of my problem. turbomoose posted:Sounds fine as long as you're under control the whole way. I mean I could see you pulling something if you just do that without any warm up or anything but past that I don't think it's a big deal. Yeah, I always do 20-25 reps of warm up starting with the bar and going up to around 90% of my working weight.

Dang, only managed to squat 3 reps of 350. Beta forever. Nailed 5 reps of 150 OHP and 405 deads though. I feel a little better about myself. My self worth is measured by how much stuff I can pick up. bamhand fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Aug 15, 2015 |

Gaz2k21 posted:My squat and my deadlift were getting pretty close to be fair. Those seem like pretty reasonable numbers, I do almost the exact same thing. 345lb squats and 405lb deadlift.

How many reps do you need on the last set of 5/3/1 in order to not be considered a failure? Your training max is 90% of your 1RM which is comparable to a 5RM right? So you would need to do something like 7 reps at 95% of your TM/5RM for it to be considered an improvement?

So is the idea that you progress until your training max isn't actually 90% of your 1RM? I finished my first cycle a couple weeks ago and I got 5 reps in on squats at 335, that's 95% of 350. But 350 is what my 5RM is so it feels like that shouldn't really count as progress.

I've been biking for 5 years and I've always been limited by legs so I think that's pretty normal. Do make sure your seat is raised high enough though. You should be able to almost completely straighten your leg when sitting on your bike and you should not be able to touch the ground with your feet.

Not sure what's harder, the main 5/3/1 workout or the supplemental work. Squat 5x325lb and then deadlifted 245x50. Guess I didn't need a back anyways.
