I wish lifting weights would go back to the way it was 6 years ago when it was a niche interest that only no life autists took part in. Those were the days.

Just move to the north eastern US. It's a super niche interest here right now. Most of the local gyms have closed down and everything. There's just lovely chains like planet fitness.

Probably because most people just have home gyms. I know people in $850/mo 3br apartments who have power racks up on the third loving floor of a building constructed in the 1920s.

Here in Alberta going to the gym is basically all there is to do outside of our 3 month summer if you're not a skiier or bar star. The last few years i've seen a HUGE spike in fuckwits doing ~*cOnTeSt PrEp*~ poo poo and trying to become instagram stars. The uni gym that I've lifted at for 7ish years used to be a ghost town and now it is just loving slammed year round. I blame the explosion of social media for it mostly. For a couple years there it seemed everyone had a """""pro card"""" to some lovely fed. Glad that trend is dying off tbh.

I actually want an actual answer to this question because I know there is one and I'm genuinely curious


For a serious answer the best I have tried recently is Ritual. Good buzz and mental energy, but I'm Canadian and our powder availability is garbage. In the US you can get way better poo poo like Cannibal Ferox or JP8X Hardcore which will gently caress your poo poo right up. Noted idiot and powder thread overlord Krustster swears by JP8X.

I will have to ask as anavar/oxandrolone or whatever isn't something I've ever heard mentioned in my northern Canadian town.

Really? What town? It seems like everyone who's at all serious about getting big under the age of 25 has taken Anavar here in Calgary.

Anavar by itself doesn't do a whole lot but it still does something. Your mileage may vary.

by the way I tried the cable curls with the rope and my wrist felt great. The only issue is it kind of felt like I wasn't getting as good a range of motion as with a bar, even though I went arms straight to fully flexed, it was weird.

Well first you'll need to travel back to 2010 when there were actually jobs in the Alberta oil patch still

damnit, i have another injury to report. I was deadlifting last night and my lovely little gym has no platforms, and it's an upper floor so I can't let them down as fast people usually do when they go heavy. I noticed a couple of reps felt weird when I put them down, nothing painful or anything. Then I woke up this morning and my SI felt trashed. stiff and painful with a bit of nerve pain but that part is pretty minor. how do you recover from this poo poo? I'm hoping it's like a muscle strain and some rest and stretching and ill be back to good in a few days. It already feels better than it did this morning. I'm going to join a real gym in a month or two even though its a little out of the way.

You stop lifting basically

I have SI joint pain all the time as a result of loving my back and SI deadlifting/squatting and never letting it heal. Quit now, it'll never get better if you injure it further. Focus on getting a sick rear end bench and swole as gently caress arms for like 3 months and do nothing that irritates it.

How far back do they go? You don't really need anything before Impressions in Blood because XXV is a 2 disc compilation of re recordings from their earliest albums. Unless you specifically love the old classic low fi death metal sound in which case they're great.

I guess after a hard workout like that your brain would be in the proper low functioning mindset required to enjoy that abortion of Metal Gear game.

MGS5 was pretty fun if you just ignored the total lack of plot, character exposition and development and subsequent waste of bad rear end characters (BOSS THATS AN ENEMY GUNSHIP), and also that it was totally unfinished past Chapter 1. Venom had so much potential and then Chapter 2 just... ends.

I know it wont happen because Konami, but maybe, someday, we can hope to get a game that explores Revolver Ocelot's development from MGS5 to MGS1.

Asians (in asia) in general just dont lift really but it's an emerging sub culture. I noticed it in particular in Cambodia. The gym's were packed full of shirtless skinny dudes worshiping my insane mass and taking videos of me doing deadlifts and bicep curls and poo poo. Weird as gently caress but still lol.

Got pain in my forearms when lifting. That's new to me, so I'm taking the rest of the week off. Figure it has something to do with me lowering reps in favor of higher weight, but like everyone else here I have a brain problem that makes me think I'm going to lose all my gains.

I got random knee pain today while warming up for squats. Like searing intensely hot knee pain once I hit 185. However I am no bitch and did my working sets anyways.

that sounds like how my patella femoral feels. is it a bad burning almost right behind your kneecap? Maybe slightly toward the top part? Foam rolling quads and couch stretching should relieve it if it keeps hurting, helps me a bit.

Was more like the insertion into the knee on the left side, right above the VMO. Literally never had pain there before. Went away immediately after I stopped squatting so probably just my A+++ mobility in action again.

Have you regained monster status? 220 yet?

Nah hovering at 200 while trying to stay lean. Upper body is catching up fast but lower body is not so I'm gonna switch up my routine to blast legs first thing in the week then chest and back. As it is I get too rocked out on Monday and Tuesday to really go hard on legs on Wednesday so they're suffering a bit. Also probably gonna switch back to strength centric training rather than idiot bodybuilder poo poo with huge volume.
