Yesterday was sore as fuck because of course we did a bunch of tackling at rugby practice on tuesday -_- manged to hit a sloppy snatch double PR at 126kg though just by really focusing on using my glutes and hammies intead of my back and quads doing all the work. Then CJ doubles at 145 and 150. Couldn't even rack 155, think my shoulders are just too beat up. Got a bunch of dry needling done this morning so hopefully I'll feel better, but I've gotta travel and play 2 more rugby game this weekend. Just need to get healthy core and shoulders, got my meet to qualify for nationals in 16 days and i have 3 rugby games over that time. | ||

I have been messing around with running and lifting at the same time for years and that just kills your performance int the weightroom. Since I decided to compete in Powerlifting training is so much more fun. And I still get to run whenever I feel like it. People around me have noticed that I have gained a good amount of muscle during the last 6 months. My weight is around the same, but I am thinner and harder.. even I recognize this, which pretty much means it must be true. So true, all the running from rugby wrecks me in the gym. You're looking awesome dude, definitely looking stockier in a muscular sense. Nice looking set of squats too. | ||

or are you supposed to maintain shoulders back, lat-only type form? just, when i got to crank out some pullups, i am powering out like 6 but there's this definite shift in form rather than maintaining lat-only focus on the rising portion. i don't know if that's 'natural' (so to speak) or if it's me compensating edit yeah, this vid just covers this, describing how you can shift focus away from lats by accident so i'll just slow it down a bit and aim for this better form | ||

i think Scarlett (sc2) is pre-op, right, but competes in female-only leagues? here it is applied to weightlifting apparently (see date)... http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/20/transgender-weightlifter-wins-womens-competition/ | ||

It's not about "prejudice" as the article claims. Better leverages, hands, and bone and joint thickness don't disspear by taking hormones. I'm not disputing her actual gender, but on fringe cases competitors should be placed on the tough category, man. (The IOC only recognizes 2 genders, man and woman). I'm talking on weightlifing, the sc2 would be more debatable. Are men better at archery? =) | ||

https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine Well I did not expect much and was still underwhelmed with the results. :D 1 hour of exercise every 2nd day for 3 months and almost no strength progress. Ok I had some small initial progress for the first 2-3 weeks, like I went from 5 to 8 reps etc. Then the next 2.5 months absolutely no quantifiable changes. Just as I suspected, this stuff is just not for me. And tbh that is fine. I will just go back to doing some casual cycling for cardio / general health. Much less annoying to do for me anyway. | ||

I find bodyweight stuff progresses much slower and harder to quantify. | ||

Pretty sure my testosterone is pretty low. Always have been rather skinny, not much body hair. My head hair looks great though. :D I purposely gained slightly in weight (1.5 kg) and ate enough protein. I am generally very diligent with my diet, have done calorie counting with excel sheets and stuff for months in the past, so I know what I have to eat. I guess I could have eaten more but I really did not want to have to go on a weight loss diet for months afterwards. It is not that big of a deal though. I feel good and healthy as is. For science reasons I will maybe continue doing the pushups and rows for some time. Would take me just 10 mins. | ||

the thing you need to be most concerned about every workout is (imo) that you're working yourself hard enough. if you're not half killing yourself then you won't be damaging your body enough for it to adapt and heal up stronger than before if you are working yourself hard enough then it's possible you're overdoing it and need to give your body an extra 2 rest days to catch up with the repairs if you're doing 3-5x8 pullups, rows and dips every other day consistently then i imagine you should be seeing some progress towards 3-5x12 over the course of 1-3 months. even if it takes you 3 months to make that gain, that's a 33% effective increase in work, which is nothing to think negligibly of idk if you're doing weighted squats or not. weighted squats are a fucking dream for making your running better, i found. if you like running and decide to dump all other weight training, i would still recommend you do barbell squats to make your running 2x as ez and fun :3 | ||

i get enough but not too much water, but sometimes maybe eat too close (~2 hrs) to gym. the problem, i think, is with my barbell squats, since you can do a lot of weight without actually failing, and even if i can finish without actually failing a set, it's still incredibly hard and nauseating @__@ | ||

I would also find something with a low GI and see if eating that pre workout helps, though with your dietary requirements, that may be difficult  | ||

How does a basic three count work? Is it something like 1: down, 2: wait at the bottom, 3: up; roughly 1 second for each count; and breathe before 1/down, 2: hold, exhale after 3/up? | ||
