It has to be a weight that is easy for him to control and do a bunch of, while also still looking like a lot of weight. Most viewers will have no clue what weight that is, unless it's only being shared on weightlifting sites. What is it anyway, like 135 kg? Pretty sure red/blue/yellow/green is 160kg | ||

I've got a powerlifting competition coming up on the 23rd, so of course I had to go and injure my knee when in rubgy on wednesday. Still can't bend my knee enough to even get into a deadlift position, so not looking great. I guess I'll just rest it and the competition will be my first rehab workout... | ||

I also finally watched that "so you think you can squat" video series. Good stuff. You can go deeper than they go in those examples, right? -_-; | ||

A discussion about non multivitamin supplements is on the previous page(in short get Vit-D and fishoil if you dont get enough naturally). | ||

I have access to an ok gym but I'd like to start acquiring deals gradually for when I need/want my home gym. Plus I want to be able to do olympic lifts in the future and there's no option to any where within half an hour of me For the more uncommon stuff, like a quality oly barbell or set of bumpers, black friday is coming soon. Rogue and pendlay especially have pretty solid deals, usually including free shipping. For more common stuff, like benches, dbs, or even power racks go craigslist... but you'll have to be patient and know what youre looking for to get good stuff there. | ||

Just stock up on vitamin D, vitamin C, fish oil, zinc, and maybe a vitamin B complex to take every once in a while. Multivitamins tend to have a bunch of shit you don't want a lot of (like iron) and not enough of the good stuff you do want (vitamin C, vitamin D) | ||

On November 21 2013 08:22 SoleSteeler wrote: So I got some straps finally.... was a bit tired of not being able to get past 125 kg deadlifts. The problem was I usually get my body really tight standing up, then bend down and pick up the bar within a short moment. Now I tighten up, bend down, spend 25 seconds wrapping my hands correctly, lose my tension... Ugh. >_< I also finally watched that "so you think you can squat" video series. Good stuff. You can go deeper than they go in those examples, right? -_-; In my opinion, get chalk instead of straps so your forearms get a better workout in. Especially at 125kg deadlifts. It'll be easier to keep tension as well, as chalked hands are easier to set-up than straps. If your gym complains about the mess, get liquid chalk or don't be a dumbass with your normal chalk. If they still complain, find a better gym. Also heavy (3-5 reps) dumbbell rows did wonders for my grip strength, as well as double overhand high volume deadlifts (touch and go). | ||

![[image loading]](http://imageshack.com/a/img12/5984/bcz7.jpg) I used to do a lot of these 90 days programs with great results. I had a break, picked up CC (convict conditioning) for 3 weeks and since 2 weeks i went doing a more general BW training that i enjoy a lot, http://antranik.org/bodyweight-training/. My wish is to get back to more or less the same results as pic1, thing is i don't want to do anything of these intensive cardio and i'm kinda worried to loose the muscles that i've been build up since i picked up CC and this BW exercises. Any recommendations? Thanks for reading this and your eventual advices! | ||

Get at least 8 hours sleep. I'm dieting, but the deficit is slight, I've been hovering around 89kg on the scale for about 3 weeks, and lifts are progressing. It's November, about 3-6 degrees C. I don't think there's anything strange about getting ill, especially in the fall. Most guys at work have kids, they go to school and bring back as much germs as they can, their dads share the wealth at work and I lose a week or two of progress. it's the circle of gains. so i have a question about vitamin D, i was looking to buy some an in the store they showed me one of 400IU but reading some information the recommendation was 1k, so im a little confuse in the concentration of vitamin D, so Osmoses if you read this what concentration i shoulf lookf for? thx in advance :D | ||

I'm no expert of course, I just took the advice of people who knew better than me. edit: The leangains guide on supplements was really helpful when I read it a couple years back. | ||
