why are weightlifting people on this forum so fond of leg stuff?
Legs can grow in strength and mass faster than most other muscle groups, so it's a good target for anyone who wants to see their RPG stats go up on a spreadsheet. A lot of tough guy things that seem to depend on upper body strength are actually strongly supported or enhanced by lower body strength, too.

Also it feels good, man

The positive effects of creatine are so insignificant they may as well not even exist.

Now deer antler spray....
I noticed a significant difference in my lifts after stalling and taking creatine.

And, at the very least, an increase in water weight. <jiggle jiggle>

Blow your knees out for 100+ lbs less than your regular squat :colbert:

Buying new pants isn't as fun as having your old pants rip from your gains. My thighs have shredded at least two pairs of pants on the inseam at work. You're missing out.

270 vs 200.
That's fine, your deadlift should be much greater than your squat. As long as you're still making progress on both, I wouldn't worry about it.

Most people aren't lifting in the elite range, where a 20lb difference between their 595 squat and 615 deadlift is more normal. A 70-50 lb difference is absolutely expected for intermediate and advanced lifters, and I don't see why you'd want to tell someone lifting in the novice range otherwise.

From what I have observed, it is much easier to gain or lose weight if you have crippling mental illness and go off your meds, particularly bipolar disorder.

Sorriest squat day. :(

Warmup goes fine, rack my working weight, squat down and can't get out of the hole. Unload and rerack it, try again, still stuck in the hole. Take 10 lbs off, no good. Another 10. Another. And another. Finally managed to do 1 rep at the same weight I did a set of 3 just last week. No change in my program, diet, or weight. The only thing I can point to is that I had a 2 hour nap before gym time and maybe I wasn't alert enough.

Had a deload scheduled for next week anyway, but still very discouraging.

Passed out standing and collapsed after my workout, unconscious and seizing for about 30 seconds. GF called 911, EMTs found something on the EKG so they've done a chest x-ray and CT.

Shin status is green, slammed my butt on a coffee table tho :butt:
