Squatted 172.5 kg/380 lbs yesterday which is the best I've done in at least a couple of years. Will probably injure self lifting an empty suitcase or something soon.

satanic splash-back posted:What lead you to think taking steroids is a good idea? I was just recently in the control group for a medical research project on long-term effects of steroid use and got to see some ultrasound scans of the hearts of steroid users. Yeeeeeah, I guess I'm going to keep right on not touching that poo poo.

Cardiologist dude said he'd been studying this stuff since 2005 and looked at the hearts of a lot of steroid users; all along there'd been a few lucky bastards who'd escaped any ill effects but most showed significant hypertrophy of the cardiac muscle, leading to much thicker and stiffer walls and tiny chambers and everything working worse and worse. Likelihood of needing a heart transplant (no cakewalk in itself) or an early death would be pretty high. Granted, these were mostly guys who'd been using for years, not just run a cycle or two and then quit, but still. One might imagine that one eventual side benefit of this type of research would be finding out exactly why there are some guys who don't get swole heart death syndrome and maybe even use that for predictive or preventative purposes but I gathered this wasn't the primary objective.

Boko Haram posted:Working out at the end of the day is best, gotta end your day on a good note. My usual preference is right before lunch. Which I can usually do since we have a decent gym in the basement of my office building, and my job is such that it usually doesn't matter much when I take breaks. It's brilliant because it breaks up my workday into natural-sized chunks of actual work, the gym is usually empty or nearly empty at that time, and going straight from the shower room to eat lunch is pretty nice.

exquisite tea posted:The dread of going down in the squat rack without honestly knowing if you'll ever come back up alive. When you think about it that's much the same as going to sleep, going to take a dump, sitting down to eat a meal, driving in traffic...

Rodenthar Drothman posted:gently caress people. I'm going to use a university gym in a week and a half, and I hope the smarmy little undergrads don't gently caress everything up all the time. I'm afraid undergrads count as people too, and therefore have the power to gently caress things up.

Defiant Sally posted:You should realize by now that goons make literally zero progress. Nah, I make lots of okay progress. It's just the same progress over and over because I get sick or injured or knock up my wife again -- any number of things that set back and interrupt training for a while -- then I get to restart and rebuild and recapitulate. It's that whole "having a life outside of the gym" thing that fucks up everything. Sometimes I even have enough uninterrupted progress to set a marginal PR in something or other. Like earlier this year I managed to strict press 85 kg, only took me six years to get there from 80 kg.

The deadlift is a fickle beast, what seems easy one week can be quite difficult the next, based on any number of factors. Or maybe some rear end in a top hat has just been messing with the local gravity.
