Not sure whether to be mad or not. Depends on how many of them turn out to be at least 18.

I don't normally post stuff like this, but something about the way your post is written rubbed me the wrong way.
I think you just got the wrong idea. I didn't read any territorial stuff into his post, just the basic and obvious fact that hot young women wearing very little clothing are distracting, and I totally sympathize with the pain of being distracted at the gym. I'm there to do my thing, trying to get into my Zen before attempting a new PR but if I see a good looking girl in yoga-pants my mind tends to wander and I fail my mission.
Inb4 "you need to get laid". If you don't see how it's distracting to be around hot young women wearing very little clothing there's something wrong with you.

Yeeeah, but I'm pretty sure 445kg is not the world record. Maybe in his weight/age class, but definitely not overall. Still, beastly. Sad thing is, with powerlifting your awe is always immediately followed by "probably roids". :/

even juiced to the gills, squatting 445kg at the age of 22 is insane.

I disagree with your last paragraph. If you feel someone posted something stupid in a thread then you've got every right to call them out on it. Sometimes people will agree with you, sometimes they won't, but either way you get to discuss the topic which is pretty much the point of a forum.

Well sure, discussion is fine, but the topic doesn't really belong in this particular subforum... Or does it? :p
I like to believe I'm at the gym first of all for my own self-esteem and my own health. Also since I discovered "proper" weightlifting I've started to enjoy it. But it's pretty obvious most people go to the gym in an effort to become more attractive and get laid.
Personally I'd like at least this board, the TL oasis, to be strictly fitness related. I mean, it's on the internet, hot young women (AND articles about gender equality) are like one, literally one, click away. That said, nothing wrong with gymstories. Maybe there were underage ballet dancers at your gym coming on to you, maybe a lion got loose and shredded all the curlbros. It's a gym-related story, and I enjoy those.
|
imo this thread is pretty "off-topic" so every discussion should be ok as long as there is some loose connection to fitness/working out so if someone posts a gym-story I dont see why people cant comment on it!
in other news: this RPT stuff is pretty good I think. there is a huge psychological advantage to just doing one heavy set of squats instead of three. especially if you are on a cut and are low on energy anyway!
my cut is going pretty nicely. lost about 1.5-2kg in the last month, and even made some gains in my deadlift (180x5->187.5x5). still got a long way to go but it's a start

No offense, but your post is stupid. He already gave a final point to the matter in his post. So no need to over extend it.
By that logic, this post is stupid too. But I acknowledge it. fuck you all. Long live the bitches in short skirts and cut up shirts.
edit: Osmoses, did lay it down pretty nicely. If it involves lifting of any kind, I'm interested. Even if it's sex stories in which you lift your partner to the skies and fuck their brains out. (I did this, it ruled.)

Ive posted this Q in general nutrition requirements but I get no answer. Can anyone draw up an approximate menu for a 6.4, 80 kg guy without protein supplements or milk? Has to be realistic for a student.
Like a sample daily menu, maybe something you use. I cant come up with anything decent since it requires a ton of calories

Given that steak, chicken breast, tuna and 4 eggs have like 1600 calories average... And how is this sustainable for a student? I cant afford all this shit on a daily basis, I dont even think average salaryman can lol
When I asked for a sample I meant actual menu for 1 day, possibly with portion sizes.

Try reading the nutrition OP and drawing up your own menu, since you're A: not giving any information, and B: you seem picky, and C: you know your own budget.
A basic idea would be: Breakfast, Eggs and oatmeal. Lunch, Fish, banana, some sort of veggie. Dinner, pork chops, apple, vegetable or beans.
But you need to know how much you want to eat, how much you can spend, price things out, and then just find a way to work it into your own budget. Most good grocery stores will usually have one or two meat specials running, just try to live off those. Used to do it when me and my wife were both unemployed when she got fired right after my medical retirement from the Army went through.

I'm roughly the same size.
Right now I'm home, so my meals are about the same every day.
Breakfast:
4 Eggs Scrambled with just pepper (280 cal/24g protein)
4 strips of Bacon (140 calories/12g protein)
Lunch:
10 oz can tuna (320 calories/70g protein)
Carrots or a spinach salad (~1 cup, I don't count these as calories)
Probably one of my sister's cereal bars, just for the carbs and calories, (230 cal/4g protein)
Dinner:
~1 lb (when raw) of ground beef for my dinner (grass fed 80% lean <3) - 800 calories/80g protein
Carrots, snowpeas, Spinach, Peppers, Broccoli, or other steamed vegetable (~1 cup, I don't count these)
That's ~1800 calories. I make up the rest in snacks, which I eat throughout the day.
2 oz almonds (320 calories/12g protein)
3 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese (~320 cal/21g protein)
1 grapefruit or 2 oranges (80 cal or 120 cal respectively)
1/2 gallon whole milk (1200 calories/62g protein)
There's 3700 cal/~280g of protein in this meal plan, and none of the meals are "too big" for me, so it's comfortable to eat. It's pretty mu8ch all low or un processed foods, and the only oils I use for cooking it are butter or coconut. The cereal bars have to go, but they will when I move out again at the end of the month. It should be enough calories and protein to see me to at least 210 pounds, and probably all the way to my goal of 220 (which I want to hit by march). The only supplements I take is creatine, a multivitamin, and fish oil which I'm currently out of. I take the creatine with a little fruit juice when I wake up, and the other two with my first glass of milk, usually ~1 hour later.
edit: I know you said no milk, I'm just listing what I eat. You'll have to come up with 1200 cals somewhere else. The protein doesn't really need to be replaced. And yes, I am a student, I just work two jobs (and another half job in the spring) as well as going to school and playing rugby to pay my rent, internet, and grocery bills. We don't have cable and my landlord covers my heat. We don't bother with AC.

Ive posted this Q in general nutrition requirements but I get no answer. Can anyone draw up an approximate menu for a 6.4, 80 kg guy without protein supplements or milk? Has to be realistic for a student.
Like a sample daily menu, maybe something you use. I cant come up with anything decent since it requires a ton of calories Steaks, Beef, Chicken breast, Fish, Tuna, Eggs, vegetables and fruits. rinse repeat. Given that steak, chicken breast, tuna and 4 eggs have like 1600 calories average... And how is this sustainable for a student? I cant afford all this shit on a daily basis, I dont even think average salaryman can lol When I asked for a sample I meant actual menu for 1 day, possibly with portion sizes.
Chicken and (lean) minced beef are both very affordable, even for a student. I'm fairly close to your stats, and my daily diet looks something like:
Breakfast: I follow a very loose leangains, so I generally skip breakfast.
Lunch: 350-400g skinless chicken (430 calories, 90g protein), and an assortment of veggies/rice/whatever else goes with the meal (250 calories).
Dinner: 350-400g lean minced beef (480 calories, 80g protein), and an assortment of veggies/pasta/whatever else goes with the meal (250 calories).
That gives me my recommended protein for the day (170g) and around 1400 calories (the other calories you can fill up with whatever you like, depending on your dietary requirements/preferences). In South Africa, both minced beef and chicken cost around 6$ per kg, so the day's chicken and beef together would have cost me around 4$. Some meals I regularly make include chicken stir fry, chicken fried noodle, spaghetti bolognaise, and beef tortillas.
Hope that helps.

325lb raw squat PR!
A guy saw me do this and then spent the next 15 minutes following me around the gym alternating between telling me his life story and telling me how awesome I am.
