I have never successfully gotten a girlfriend to do weights. Girls here just think it's good enough to just never eat so they can look like Keira Knightley.

Good job kaluro.

I was just going to say that i've never convinced my girlfriend to lift weights...and then she just texted me that she did squats at the gym! Success!
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

.. :D
She was very sceptical and reluctant at first but after a while she joined the workouts a few times ( I have a homegym)..
Then after a month or so, she started joining me during all work outs (3 times a week).
Right now she's even on a nutrition plan and uses multivit/omega 3/whey/casein and Protein Pancakes as supplementation.

Not to mention how she loves looking in the mirror at her pump now haha, now that's a real strength trainee!

bw: 167

OHP: 45x10, 95x5, 135x5x3, 155x3x2
Squats: 45x10, 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 260x5, 260x3, 225x5, 225x5
RDLs: 138x8x2, 155x4x2

Felt a little beat up today, lots of little aches and pains. Lost steam near the end and had to take it easy on squats. Gonna dial it back for the rest of the week and if I feel the same on Wednesday and Friday I'll probably just take the next week off.

Planning on doing another PL meet November 9th. My goal is to total over 1000lbs @ 165 this time. RIght now I'm probably good for around ~950 on a good day, so I've gotta find 50lbs or so on the big 3 somewhere in the next 16 weeks.

Nice benken! I think my total back when i was 165 was about 315 squat + 315 deadlift + 165 bench (at the meet we were allowed to substitute power clean for bench, i did 215. it was a football team thing not a true PL meet) GL on breaking the 1k

today:
some snatches around 50-70 (lols)
CJ 2x 70 90 100 120 130 1x 140 143 145 148 150. Some pretty ugly cleans :-/ thats what i get for taking weekends off!

Tonight's workout:

Back squat: 3 sets 5 reps @ 350
Bench press: 3 sets 5 reps @ 235
Deadlift: 2 sets 5 reps @ 420
Power jerk: sets of 3 @ 135 / 155 / 175 / 185 / 205 / 205

Moral dilemma: A guy and his girlfriend are deadlifting nearby. The guy has literally the worst deadlift form I have ever seen in my life, and is teaching his girlfriend identically. Do I say something or just go about my business? My low back was twitching a bit just watching them.

When benching without a spotter, how many reps should I aim for? The less reps I try to complete, the more weight I can lift, obviously.

A spotter shouldn't have any bearing on your rep range should it? I mean whats the difference between decapitating yourself after your 2nd rep or after your 12th rep?

I was thinking one style of lifting might carry more risk than the other. For example, trying to do 1 rep at maximum weight is probably much more dangerous than trying to do 100 reps at one quarter of maximum weight. I guess I'm wondering where the ideal ratio is (if there is one).

4-5 should be fairly safe if your goal is strength

If there's no one else around to help you, you'd only want to do as much as you can "roll of shame" with. Otherwise, try to learn your limits. Err on the side of caution but keep working the weight up each workout if you're not having a difficulty. If you're not sure you can do another rep just rack it. This is the advantage of having a spotter. If it's just 115lb though, it shouldn't be a big deal rolling it down to your hips, no matter how small you are

My wife is about 5 feet tall, ~97 pounds or something. She has put me on her back piggy back style and squatted me before. I was at least 180 pounds at the time. Not sure how good her form would have been, but she's Korean so obviously she's got the "Asian squat" down perfectly... It's hard to have a full range of motion with someone on your back though.

It wasn't pleasant at 185lb for me lol but yeah, you probably won't injure anything but you should be prepared to do it if you're going solo.

Since you should probably working in the ~5 rep range for strength, after the first couple reps you should be able to tell if you're going to fail on the next rep or not. If you feel like it then just rack it.

A roll of shame is when you get stick with the bar on your chest and your arms are too tired to lift it? What do you do exactly?

I'm only doing like 75 pounds to start, so I doubt I'll actually risk getting hurt lol.

Video is worth a bazillion words: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qohvvfv0OwA‎

But yeah, you probably have nothing to worry about at this point Stick in that 5 rep range for strength and keep the linear progress going!
