Unless you're doing forced reps there's no reason for someone's hands to be near the bar. If you fail and need the spot, they should pull it and rack it immediately. It's not like when someone misses a bench rep the bar free falls to their chest and you have a tenth of a second to save their life, you can see when they lose bar speed and it begins to reverse direction slowly.

And if you're doing forced reps you're obviously ok with their hands being on the bar to force said reps and this is a complete non issue.

In america, people are so homophobic in bathrooms: People will literally wait in the back instead of using a urinal next to someone.

I find it ridiculous because when i need to pee, i need to pee. I don't see any reason not to pee if i can pee when i need to.

It's not homophobia in NA. When I go to the urinal, people do anything to get to the stalls beside me and take peeks at my beastly pal.

i can't pee next to someone in dead silence. my trick is to sniff a couple times to make some noise. but one time this dude next to me sniffed at the same time as me TWICE and it got even weirder. but yeah, this is only when i'm peeing to get ready for something so i don't have to use the bathroom for a while. but if i need to pee, i pee

i think its cool, you get flooded with "sleep" substances i think but im sure they get flushed out once you're up and about. i generally have a wank and get up IMMEDIATELY afterwards and im good to go


edit: LOL @ sniffing twice

Had a light workout today because of my back. Half way through I notice a guy exercising next to me who first did squats, then did press, and finally did deadlifts. Having never seen anyone at gym do that exact routine, I asked him if he was doing SS. He tells me he had started with SL 6 weeks ago, which was pretty cool. I ended up chatting with him for about 10 minutes. Just before he leaves, he asks my name (cause I'm terrible at introducing myself), and I say 'Stefan' to which he replies 'Stefan Els?' (which is my name and surname). Turns out we competed at chess nationals for different provinces when I was 11 or 12 years old. Bizarre and awesome :D

YES another sick day :D:D Still cutting which is going well

Jesus heavy deadlift are heavy. Afterwards my teeth hurt because I was biting so hard haha. Got like six people cheering me on on the last 15 second grind :D:D


I thought you were one of those cool kids who don't "rest" but "go all out every damn day of the damn year". .

I don't rest, Wednesday is just the day where you do a few sets of five with 80% of your squat max. I'd consider that a rest day. I do go balls-out as much as I can, think I had one deload in my training career so far. How's your progress going?

An hour ago, at approxiamately 124kg bodyweight, I just did the first chin-up of my life (and the 2nd and 3rd for that matter)! I have fucking worked for that since eight months, dropping ~40kg bodyweight and spending endless amounts of time with machine assisted chins, band assisted chins, negatives, jumping chins and lat pulldowns...

And of course I did not expect it to happen today and did not have my camera with me. I was really confused when all of a sudden I could see atop the bar.
I will take my camera with me next time and then post a video. I know for nearly all of you a chin-up is the most normal thing in the world, but for me it is the essential feeling to have control over my body, which I have basically never had in my live.

Such a good day.

Congrats. Tape yourself, its awesome to rewatch urself do it many times afterwards for a few days (Yes, I am that creepy on myself)

I'm gonna start going out again cause I can't be a monk, but I'll start cutting drinking drastically (remembering the night would be a good benchmark). Also was wondering how much does getting high affects recovery, compared to drinking which is obv terrible. Was also considering to turn the first girl I hook up with into my girlfriend lol.

Err, I'm going to post some form checks later today, I htink. My main problem right now is that I haven't lifted for like 4 weeks. I haven't stretched (EWWWW) and overall I've lost weight/backtracked in period where I wasn't supposed to lift. I can now resume doing back squats. I know what i should be doing, but for some reason deadlift and squat dont' feel right. I don't have a mirror to use, and I'm terrible at critiquing myself, so I'll post a form check. I have a feeling both are going to be entirely terrible.

I think I'll do both without weight, when I did both today, even with only 90 pounds apiece they felt really bad. Both my arms are terribly dead too :|

Lesson kids: don't deviate from schedule :|
