I am having a crohns flare so between the non stop making GBS threads and high fever it appears my two months of actually working out on a consistent basis is coming to an end. On the plus side it appears I won't have to put any effort into cutting

Thanks to food poisoning last night I woke up and could see my abs. It was a Christmas miracle! Unfortunately they vanished once my ED nurse wife gave me a few liters of saline but for a brief moment I had achieved fitness.

FizFashizzle posted:the worst actual workout injury ive seen in person is some idiot doing supinated pullups with a wide loving grip. Was straining for that last part of the set, he screamed, and you could see both his biceps tendons curled up into his delts. I saw that happen to a guy who decided to get to the gym and immediately try to flip an 800 pound tire with no warmup.

I trained my 1 year old to climb on my back for pushups. Unfortunately she loves it way too much and will now pull me down to force me to do more

david carmichael posted:Someone convince me not to do the conjugate method in like a month. My form is bad, im weak, i have no coach and no good training partners. But i have a shitload of bars, a mono, bands, chains, ghr, hyper, belt squat, etc. and if i set up my DE days with straight weight I should be able to do my ME or DE days in any gym while Im travelling Conjugate is awesome and I wish I had started it last year instead of getting super weak loving around with no program after having a kid. But my God make sure your conditioning is decent

david carmichael posted:Speaking of variation im like two weeks in to the conjugate method and i dont think i hit quite as much volume as i was doing a dan greene inspired thing, but i sweat so much more and have way more fun. Also the workouts are way shorter Yeah conjugate is the most fun I have had with lifting in years and the short rests make things go by faster. I also love using bands and wish I had started way sooner

The best part about working out at home is when I get a sudden crohns flare up I dont get yelled at by the owner of my old gym for destroying the bathroom like 5 times during my max effort lower day. Guess my summer cut is starting now

david carmichael posted:Ladies, gentleman, friends, neighbours, lovers: my brain has broken and im going to start using bands and chains on dynamic effort days. I need to make sure i always do DE days on weekends, or i need to get a doctors note explaining why i need to bring 70 pounds of chains through customs Bands on the DE days are great but I haven't figured out a decent way to use bands when I squat since I am using a pretty lovely rack in my basement now. I wish I could use chains more but I mainly workout at 5am and my setup is right below my 18 month old-'s room.

david carmichael posted:If you have 4 extra 45 plates you can anchor the bands with plates. Wenning explains at like 4:30 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3PM9_MwlK2Q She actually sleeps like a champ but around 5 or 6 she is a pretty light sleeper and will either wake up immediately or stay asleep until 830. Naptime in the afternoon she is a rock and I can do a full deadlift session underneath her. Her favorite activity is also lifting things. She got super mad the other day when she couldnt budge my sandbag and ended up just screaming and hitting it

bomb posted:Baby chat: I’m about to have twins, might take a break when they first come we will see how it goes 🤷♂️. My 40kg and 48kg kettlebells arrived yesterday so I’ll be able to get in some good work at home either way. Congrats! It will be insane but a lot of fun. What worked for me is I started 531 so everything was completely planned out for me for the entire month. That way even if I was beyond exhausted I didnt have to think about what I was going to end up doing. And at the end of the day of you dont work out its not the end of the world.

david carmichael posted:Theres a video where someone asks dave tate to criticize lebrons squat. And his response was basically whatever lebron is doing obviously works just fine for him I literally started to look for the video as soon as I saw the first lebron comment. Dave Tate and most of the elitefts crew are pro follows and he has a ton of great stuff for free (including an e book that breaks down the conjugate method) on his site. He will even critique your form if you send him a video although he tends to get back to you faster if you are using or wearing something from elitefts

Whipstickagostop posted:I remember watching some TV program as a kid where they injected a UFC fighter with adrenaline to see if it made him punch harder. I don't remember the result, but it did make him burst into tears after punching a test dummy as hard as he could. I gave myself a shot during a wilderness emt training and all it did was make me super nauseous and dizzy. I probably would have cried if I tried to punch something as well

dakana posted:I was considering getting a power rack for the basement because twins. Less time away from home, more flexibility on when I could work out. I built a basement gym before my kid was born and it is awesome. I still have a membership for my gym because it's an awesome gym and I can still get there but working out at home is the way to go. I would say the flexibility thing didnt really work out and I now get up at 5am to work out every day but that is mainly because I like routine and trying to work out around napping was driving me crazy.

Just hit 295 in bench, my goal for a while has been 300 and this was a 15lb pr. I probably could have gotten 300 but wanted to be conservative and the jump I was making anyway was a lot. Closing in on 400lb squat and will max out deadlift in a few weeks to see where I am at but overall conjugate is awesome and this is the most fun I have had lifting in years. My weight has stayed around 180 but thanks to crohn's it probably wont get much higher

david carmichael posted:Thats awesome! What does your conjugate set up look like? Keep in mind I have a pretty bare bones home gym set up right now but here is how I have run the last 2 weeks ME Upper: Max effort bench single against average elitefts mini band and light mini Floor press 3× 6-8 Banded face pulls a lot Pull ups 3 ×max ME Lower: Max effort front squat with 50 lbs chains Pause squats 3 ×6-8 Good mornings 3 × 12 Planks/hanging leg raise DE upper: speed bench against average mini band (I find using bands for speed bench has helped with elbow pain) 2 board press 3×5 ( I have been going really heavy on these) Pushups against average band 3×max DE lower: box squat 3×8 rack pulls 3×5 (again going heavy with these) planks conditioning wise I have been just carrying a 80lb sandbag outside on my non training days

Both my 2 year old and 4 week old managed to get sick at the start of week 4 of my first 531 cycle which works out since I don't feel like I am missing anything by not working out. I will probably end up doubling my preworkout consumption to survive though.

Plenty of people do conditioning on rest days and plenty of people even do complexes on rest days for whatever reason. The issue is more repeating the process until your dead and most people shouldn't be doing something like that as part of a smart program. If you can do it and keep making progress on your main program more power to you but I would question how hard you are working on your main days if you can do that on your rest days

Medical Supply Update: We are taking the following measures 1) Product Development Team is working solely on medical supplies - Masks, Gowns, Shields and ventilators. 2) Manufacturing: We have begun sewing masks and will kick into full production Monday. Next items we are going to make are gowns, shields and ventilators. We have purchased three Industrial 3D printing machines to help make parts. 3) Supply Chain: We are prioritizing these raw materials and components for these as well. -- Per earlier post we are also seeing very strong demand for our products and will do our best to get those items to you in an expeditious manner. We would encourage you if you want to do this in your state to contact the local hospitals and your state leadership. Thank You Rogue Team

Rogue jumped early on moving to help make PPE and sponsors a pretty diverse selection of athletes including Rob Kearny. Same with Elitefts, I don't think they would ever qualify as "woke" but Dave Tate is a guy that legit cares about teaching people and has put out videos and articles on fitness for special needs kids. But more importantly I think what happened with George Floyd opened the eyes for a lot of people who never directly had to confront what racism actually is in this country.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Joe Sullivan, while crude, actually is a surprisingly not lovely person from what I can tell. He was quick to call Larry Wheels a piece of poo poo, and frequently yells at people to take care of their mental health, too. Seems like a good dude. Yeah the first video I saw of him was ranting that saying the gym is your therapy is stupid because therapy should be your therapy. He also seemed like he generally wanted to learn about BLM when the protests started this year. Dave Tate seems to have some chuddy tendencies but is also very outspoken about how to autism and has a ton of free stuff on his site. Elitefts was also the first site to get rid of all their metal gear following the owner revealing himself to be a huge poo poo head

Standing Abs are what westside recommends and ab work is done every session. I use some bands over my pull-up bar for them. I used to not do any core work cause I was a moron who thought squatting and deadlifts was enough and then once my back pain became so bad I relented and started doing lots of planks and standing abs. Now I have no back pain.
