I don't think you understand how pant sizes work. My waist fits comfortably in a 30, it's just incredibly uncomfortable, bordering on painful, for my thighs as size 30 pants are designed for the average person that wears them, not someone with swole thighs and a 30 waist. Short of cutting chunks of muscle from my thighs I cannot change this

You're not swole if you're just learning that you can't fit into jeans.

Proud of myself, I only ate oats w/protein and a bowl of tuna w/hot sauce so far. Walked/ran 6 miles and I'm headed to work gonna lift things till midnight. I gotta start doing sit ups I guess, cause I want abs and I've noticed my stomach is slimming down on this lowfat diet I'm doing. Anything else easy for an ab workout at home? I got a perfect pullup bar that I hosed around with sometimes, and I managed to climb up my fire escape wicked easy when I locked myself out which is another goal.

Get an ab wheel, they're cheap and one of the best ab workouts

Does isolating rotator cuffs help with the bench or is that more brotherly science?

It helps your shoulders not fall apart eventually which would do the opposite of helping. Definitely a good thing to add to your normal warmups or something, brother.

Stop benching is bad advice for getting your bench to go up. Do more shoulder work isn't. If anything, bench more often and do shoulder stuff afterwards. Lift more weight and do it more often, also, imo

185 5x5 was easy today. Felt light picking it up from the rack. Feel like i should have tried 205 again but decided to stick to 185 because I've failed 205 a few times in a row now.

Add some extra volume in. Like another set or two. Backing off works but is horrible in terms of long term strength gains.

Yeah just eat/lift more.

Profondo Rosso posted:

That seems like kind of a bad idea (although I'm no expert). Dumbbell benching puts far more strain on your stabilizing muscles, and if you're doing it right after a different form of bench press (i.e. after you wore out the tris/chest already) it would be a recipe for for injury if those muscles aren't already pretty strong (which they likely are not if you are struggling to go above 135 with the barbell).

If dumbbell benching after barbell injures you you were never meant to lift. But if you're asking for advice in this thread this is what you deserve.

Uxzuigal posted:

Think I might struggle to get enough protein naturaly through my diet. I do one protein shake after each training session usualy, but considering to up this to one in the morning, one after training... I prefer natural foods, but not always that easy to fit in. Also: gently caress my shoulder. Something weird with it again, no sharp pain though so will try to fight through it at the gym tomorrow and see what happends.

One shake with breakfast, one after I workout, and eating normal amounts of meat puts me around 175g a day which is perfect for me at 200lbs. How much do you think you need?

I am thinking around ~125g @ 86kg (190lbs) - Guess my estimate was abit low.
Breakfast for me is about 10-20g.
Dinner around 30-40g
"21:00" food around 20-30g.

So Id say I am getting about 90g max without protein shakes. (Current shakes has 25g protein, whey+6.5g bcaa).

Eat another chicken breast or another two scoop shake. Eat a little more protein in each meal. Now you're probably over what you need.

Profondo Rosso posted:

yeah but you have to keep in mind someone who cant bench more than 135 (i.e. is weak as gently caress) is going to have to be real careful to avoid injury

How is that any different from someone else? Just don't lift more than you're able no matter how strong you are. Whoa! Crazy poo poo.

i'm not denying you know far more about lifting than I do, but it seems kind of obvious someone that can barely bench 1 plate pushing themselves to failure right after is going to have worse form/mind muscle connection/knowledge of how far they can push/chance of injuring themselves than a veteran lifter doing the exact same thing

He said he wasn't going to failure. I thought you were talking about just dumbbell pressing after barbell pressing, like I said.

Generally beginners going to failure isn't a good idea, I'd agree there.

I strongly dissagree, it's extremely easy to make bad mistakes that could cause injury to your body. Having someone to correct you is invaluable.

How can you say this and recommend he get some random personal trainer.

Try going to one of these gyms, Dza. http://www.saskpowerlifting.ca/index.php?id=9 I can't stress how much it helps going to a gym where people actually care about lifting. Figure out who's in charge and tell them you're new and don't want to gently caress yourself up, and they should be able to direct you to someone who can help. Or just find the biggest dude that doesn't act like a piece of poo poo. Most of them are usually nice.

I find it funny that technology has developed to the point where the common man doesn't know how to squat anymore, it's the most natural position for the human animal to rest in.

I was watching some klokov video where he's talking about being comfortable in the bottom of the snatch position and is saying "you know, how you sit when you with friends and drink beer and smoke" and then I understood why I'll never lift like a russian. *leans back in computer chair*
