Thanks for all your support over the last couple of years.



I opened that spoiler and just went "wow" -

From the way I said it, my room mates were all like "shit man, what happened?" - It was a very serious time in our apartment. That's damn impressive. Way to go Malinor!

I was doing Pull ups with 25 pounds on a belt (I weight ~160ish, so a pullup at 116% BW essentially) and I haven't done weighted dips before, but I can do ~15 in a row, the hard part is the transition. I just pulled up as hard as I could, and once my hands were around my chest I like leaned forward and pressed with all my might. Extra motivation was a guy standing next to me who everyone thinks of as super strong

So what you're saying is: "Ya might fall tryna do what I did, kid"

I'd die trying 15 dips in a row, or pullups with a 25lb belt lol. Makes me even more impressed that you were able to do that.

3 mo into ss, gained 20 lbs and now been stuck at 172lb for 2.5 weeks. just feel full all the time man. consequently, lifts are flatlining as well. vitamin + 4k iu vit d + fish oil + recently a little bit of creatine.

meals are like cereal w/ soy milk +2x eggs, chipotle, 4x whey scoops, 2x bananas, chicken and rice (the halal food with white sauce), beef noodle soup +egg, pho + extra meat on side, taco bell (2 chalupas + taco combo), wendys (3 jr cheeseburgers). the whey + banana i try to do everyday, and out of the other meal options, i usually pick 4 of them to try to get 3k-3.2k kcals

lifts are currently:

squat 270 3x5 huge huge struggle, starting to get scared to go low as possible
bench 140 5/4/3 3rd failure
press 100 5/4/x(95 for last set and bumped out 5 reps) 3rd failure
clean 135 5x3 super difficult, i tried 1 set of 3 at 140 lol'ed and took off the cookies
dl 285 1x5 decent
pullups constantly something like reps of 6,4 or 7,5. no real improvement although i started to deadhang them more

fuark, i just feel so weak on the bench especially when im lookin at guys benching above their bw with ease
any advice/suggestions are very welcome


Zafrumi introductory cycle is 2 weeks oo


damn youre right. i'll just combine the two weeks into one. should be np

JESUS CHRIST Malinor. I mean fuck!!! I knew you were dedicated but this is some straight up crazy shit. Have you been constantly lifting heavy, have you been doing any cardio and ps what's your diet plan looked like?? Once you get your excess weight down you will be the most immense personal trainer (if you want). If you post your before and after pics you will get immense clients or at least be able to post your pic in many different types of places and inspire everyone.

@everyone: Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, I have constantly been lifting heavy, though the focus shifted. I have been squatting and deadlifting all the time but the last two months since I have some kind of quadriceps injury that just does not leave me alone (but I now get physiotherapy and electro-therapy, hopefully that helps). I cannot really bench, but I do lots of Overhead work. Since I am capable of mastering my bodyweight, I train chin-ups and pull-ups religiously, as well as weighted Dips. On "off days" I do handstand work and L-Seat progression. So basically, the focus is shifting a little to more bodyweight training. Though I want to keep squatting heavy for the rest of my life, lol.

For cardio, I do run, and by that I mean everything from 30m sprints over tabata intervalls to 90min long slow steady runs. I prefer fast intervalls and sprints nowadays, but since the injury everything above 70% intensity is kind of risky.
I do Jump Robe 2-3 times a week. I started above 150kg without any previous training, I couldn't do two jumps in a row, let alone support my bodyweight on one foot. I am now working on "Criss-Cross Double-Unders", and do a lot of HIIT work while sprinting with the robe.

My diet has been 3000kcal a day, and since some time I have gone up to 3300, because I don't have to lose that much weight anymore. I try to get 150g of protein every day, which has not happened in quite some time, last year my nutrition was better. In general I prefer eating heavy on carbohydrates and low on fats, just because of the foods I like (potatoes!).

First Tuesday workout in a long time that I've actually made decent progress:
Squat 1x3 80, 100, 2x3 120kg
Press 1x5 40,50, 1x3 62.5kg - My press was stalling for a long time, came across this article and tried applying what it said today. My press felt infinitely better, I highly recommend it.
Deadlift 1x3 60, 90, 105, 120, 140kg - I realized last week that I've been, stupidly, using my left hand as the overhand in my mixed grip. Switched it today and it felt a lot better.
EZ-bar curls 3x8 48kg
Shrugs from the rack 3x3 125kg - I'm gonna try these for my grip strength for a few weeks and see if it helps.

That is a ton of weight for 8 reps. You must have crazy strong biceps. Are these strict curls with full range of motion or more on the cheat curl side/ partial ROM?
