I don't think anyone would say a bodybuilder is weak, unless your standard for strong is top level power athletes. | ||

Everyone should be switching out of that tedious starting strength template as soon as they can. Agreed 100%. BB training is super fun as well. 24 hours before the final selection for heavyweight, pretty nervous >.< | ||

Partly as a break but also to strengthen some of the smaller muscles that aren't used as much in the olympic movements.

Pretty much every weightlifter does some degree of "bodybuilding" or non specific sport strength as a form of pre-hab and GPP | ||

BB assistance has a place on the training on any powerlifting, oly lifting and *gasp* crossfit athlete. I do hate the "texas method" where you go from low volume to lower volume. That said, if I didn't squat/bench/deadlift regularly I might aswell skip the gym | ||

Keep your overall calories restricted since you're cutting, but if you find yourself running out of energy halfway through a workout you're probably not eating enough carbs. If you're not eating enough carbs, your protein intake is just going to get converted to carbohydrates through gluconeogenesis - especially if you've got a big energy demand being regularly placed on your muscles, so eating too few carbs is definitely counter productive. | ||

It was hard to get back into lifting and I puked for the first time ever during training after a few sets of prowler sprints, but my work capacity has gone up tremendously and I am enjoying the additional isolation work. | ||

They are shameless marketers above all else, so keep that in mind. Yeah, I'm trying out the gym. I actually thought about PMing you if you know the guy, and I might do it anyway just to see if you actually do know him. He seems to have some idea what he's doing (he has a M.S. in Anatomy and Kinesiology and isn't having me do dumbass shit like squatting on a bosu ball), but he is having me do more BB type stuff. | ||

Today I went for a 1RM and got it without straining myself too much. Felt good so I went for 2 more and got them both. I think I could have gotten a 4th if I really pushed, but it was at the start of my workout so I didn't want to strain myself too much for the rest. Max squat at the beginning of the year was around 1.5 plates. At 2 now which was my year goal, might try a bit higher next week. Max DL at the beginning of the year was 2 plates. Was able to get 2 and a 25 last time (8 months ago) which was my year goal, gonna go for 300lbs this week. Max bench was and still is terrible. Was basically a plate and a 5 at the beginning of the year, wanted 1 plate and a 25 before the end of the year but sitting at 1 plate and 20 right now... gotta push it this month. So 2/3 year goals so far tl;dr fuck yeah but my bench is still terribad. Really happy with squats today though. | ||
