Goddamn, i never imagined i will have muscle-strain in my butt cheeks, like i've been training with Tiberius (show watchers will get that). I barely managed to finish it twice instead of 3 times, yet i still can barely walk and sit without feeling it :/ my upper body doesnt feel very used up though, anyone else tried / knows about this training program? I was thinking i d replace one of the exercizes with a triceps or biceps one. | ||

I can't up the plates anymore after every workout. If I manage 3x5, I can only get 2 reps of a higher weight on the next workout. (1,25 kg plates) Then it takes me a month to try and get that to 5 reps. This shouldn't be that hard. On April 01 2013 11:42 decafchicken wrote: Seth are you recovering properly? Getting enough sleep/rest/food? You have a pretty good clean to squat ratio! 9 hours of sleep, eating above maintenance on workout days, below on other days. I'm taking a multivitamin, extra vitamin D3, ON Whey powder and sometimes fish oil. Workouts on monday, wednesday and friday. Is my (power) clean high compared to my squat? I've power cleaned maybe 3 times this year; focussing more on powerlifting. I can probably get to 75-80 kg in a couple of weeks of practice. I have some oly lifters at the gym that can help with my form. 70 kg is 65% of my back squat and 55% of my deadlift. | ||

http://briankim.net/blog/2006/08/why-every-man-should-lift-weights-part-two/ Bob is asking why he lifts weights. Let’s dive right in and see what the answer is. "You want to know what it is we do? We overcome. We're too busy to train, too, but we overcome. We're too busy to prepare healthy meals and eat them five or six times a day, but we overcome. We can't always afford supplements, our genetics aren't perfect, and we don't always feel like going to the gym. Some of us used to be just like you, Bob, but guess what? We've overcome. “ This part really resounded with me. People are blown away that I still push my body to its physical limits lifting 4 days a week and playing rugby 3 days a week now that i'm working in the corporate world. They tell me i won't have time to keep it up or it will catch up with me or i'll get too old. Or about how all they have time to do is hit the treadmill for a bit during lunch and wanted to play rugby but didn't want to get hurt. Sure i only get to be home for about 8 hours a day (if that) and some aspect of my life will suffer but god damn is it worth it. | ||

This is so true.... "You ask us for advice about diet and training and usually we politely offer some guidance, but deep inside we know you won't take our advice. You know that too. We smile and say, 'Hope that helps. Good luck,' but actually we're thinking, 'Boy, it would suck to be you.' We know that 99% of people won't listen to us. Once they hear that it takes hard work, sacrifice and discipline, they stop listening and tune us out. "We know they wanted us to say that building a great body is easy, but it just isn't. This did not take five minutes a day on a TorsoTrack. We did not get this way in 12 short weeks using a Bowflex and the Suzanne Somers' 'Get Skinny' diet. A good body does not cost five easy payments of $39.95. | ||

I lose 10lbs the first week of any cut I do, so I doubt that you need to worry about that weight gain. A pound of fat is 3500 calories, so you need to have bulked REDICULOUSLY hard for those 4 lbs to be fat. | ||

Ok, because when you say your clean is 65% of your back squat, you're comparing a set of 3 with a set of 5. I'd say stick with what you're doing a little longer, as your deadlift is going up solidly. It's surprising that your DL goes up but squat doesn't as the main movers are the same. If you feel like trash and you can tell you aren't recovering maybe switch off it, but I know that I definitely switched off it too early. | ||

Currently at about 225lb/102kg as of the end of my workout last night. Going to aim towards 94kg in time for nationals. I'd like to at least total 300 at 94 there, but i'll go 105's if i need to. I've put on a lot of weight and strength and filled out my shoulders/legs/waist a bit but I feel like i could lose quite a bit of fat and put up the same numbers. I'll bulk back up to 105 after then, I was never truly a 'lean' 94, just a light 94 lol. Shooting for 2700 cal a day (oly lifting 4x week, rugby practice 2x and 1 rugby game) Probably ~150-200g protein and minimize bad carbs. Stopped caving into burritos and subs (which aren't that bad i guess) and am going to the real food station at work which is usually some sort of pork/steak/chicken/etc with a couple sides of potatoes/veggies/rice/etc. I'll do this till i start bringing in lunch. Also started taking multi vit/ vit d/ fish oil again. Yesterday: calories 2,644 carb 169 fat 121 protein 191 sodium 3,938 (apparently chick fil a uses a lot of sodium...i should probably get this down) sugar 58 Been pretty easy with adderall...been super focused at work and you complete forget about being hungry rofl. | ||

Also, I am now taking more tablets than my Grandma. 1x multivit, 2x Cod Liver + VitA + VitD, 2x VitD, and now also 1x Glucosamine. Cut is going ok. I slowed it down after feeling kinda crap the first week, I'm losing weight slowly and also actually still increasing in strength a little, it's more manageable this way. Also, for that first week where I felt bad I'd also stopped taking my pills as I'd left them at Uni, not sure if that could have contributed (i.e. vit D taking a massive dive). | ||

I barely lift as much as the international lifters in the 56-62kg classes. They're probably pretty close to their genetic and physical limitations at their size and weights whereas I have no idea where i am. | ||

Agreed, I went to a party on sunday and because of a terrible headache I just couldn't go to the gym on monday. I don't even drink I just get crazy headaches when I don't sleep enough :/ Next time if I have to go the gym the next morning, I'll be in bed at 12 pm. You have to make sacrifices. Anyway, I have a question. What do you guys do if you are for example on your final rep, and your arms just don't want to go up? No matter how hard I push I just can't get them up. It's not something mental I can just break through, I tried. I had this with Dumbells yesterday and because of that I had to do two less reps on my left arm altough my right arm was completely fine and could do probably more. Just take a 60 second break and try to do as much as you can afterwards? Also, how do you guys eat so much? I'm trying to force myself to eat more but it's hard. Eating when you don't want to eat sucks. | ||

I can't help you with eating, I eat and have massive deficit in my intake... just lots of protein to sustain muscle mass. | ||

Suddenly eating a lot more, won't do anything in the beginning anyway since your body is not used to it; it will just go in and out of your system. I usually watch youtube or whatever while I'm eating (makes it much easier imo). Have a protein shake when you really don't feel like eating. Yeah, you basically do what makes people fat. Eat as much as you can while paying attention to something else. Eat all the time. If you're less concerned about your health, eat more processed foods. A lot of it comes down to willpower though. | ||

If you want to build up you don't need to eat shit that makes fat, you can eat stuff that you need. Also you do not need an overkill. +3000kcal / day doesn't build up better than +500kcal / day. | ||
