Thanks man, all my reps felt pretty clean last night, that's only 20 pounds under the most I've ever done so I'm pleased with everything. My form breaks down when I get fatigued or hit my max which is normal but I've been trying to work on my form for a while. Most people don't gain the amount of weight I have and see how It changes all your leverages.

that vid of piana slapping jason genova irritated me. what a lowlife scumbag move. i've never seen a vid with rich piana that made him look like anything other than a douchebag though.

vids looked great bigboss. weights are moving quickly.
 
Working out 4 days a week is weird to me now. I'm moving more weight already because I feel better but I'm not used to all these rest days. Not going again until Saturday. Feels like I'm losing gains. :lol:

Gonna be easier to bulk up though burning less calories. :evil:
 
Someone put me on to a program. Been doing my own jacked up version of Stronglifts 5x5 for waaaaaayyyy too long.
 
Life protip: don't do heavy deads the day before your deep tissue massage appointment


Lower back and hammies destroyed. Wanted to tell the masseuse to go lighter, but didn't want to sound like a b :\

You're going to recover faster though.

I used to go 6-7 times a week and not really focus on much but squats and back mainly.

Now I'm doing 4x strictly strength. Higher weight and low reps. one main lift each day trying to work the weight way up.

Dl
Ohp
Bench
Sqaut

I'll probably throw in a bicep/ab/cardio day. Didn't dl for months since I hurt my back being dumb. Wasn't supposed to dl again but I got bored... Already hit my old max and I'm way stronger now so it was easy. Just going to take it nice and slow on raising the weight.

Basically a jacked up strong lifts too. :lol: not squatting everyday though but all free weights or body weight like dips or pull-ups.

Legs day was yesterday. I had a soccer game tuesday so i kept it some what light. Did 315 for 4 sets of 3 then came down and did 5 sets 5 reps at 225. Then some high bar work.

Dude next to me had a belt and knee wraps on and was doing 405lbs then 455lbs. He was probably under 220lbs. They were quartersquats. And the weight looked like it was going to break his body when he was walking it out. I don't understand some times. There were two big boys next to me on the other side moving 300-400 with impecable form. They were talking to each other and looking at ego lift guy (who had wireless over head beats and a mohawk) i wanted to pull my headphones out to eavesdrop but didn't
 
Common sight. The other day I saw a 120 pound dude solid muscle doing close stance squats at 315 with perfect form. If that wasn't cool enough he straps a 70 pound dumb bell to himself after and hits 7 perfect pull-ups and then goes for two more sets of 5 then starts doing dips with 70 pounds. Two dudes weighing about 250 were cheering him on. :lol:
 
Y'all actually go to the gym to train or y'all just people watch?

I forgot my blinders that day. Usually I'm totally unaware of my surroundings and never take a minute to rest between sets.

I envy you fambs if thats your biggest gym pet peeve

Not curling in the squat rack
Not the people that don't re-rack weights
Laying down in the middle of the cable crossover
Standing in front of the dumbbells to do rows or curls blocking half the dumbbells from use
Texting while taking up a bench press
Not getting off a machine in general for 40 mins
Working out with your whole crew 5+ people together
People saying no when you ask to work in
trainers allowing clients to do squats on the smith machine
the grunter
the newspaper guy
the throw the weights guy
the "im gonna give you free advice" guy
Mr Sweaty no wipe
The crossfit / circuit team that takes up the whole gym
The handsy couple
The dancer/rapper/singer
The unhelpful spotter guy who assists on every rep when told not to help unless needed



I think prob after all that im going with the person that stares at me while i work out. I might be missing some though

Those do annoy me but man when you look up after each set and a person is staring at you ...... plus i got during off peak so it maybe 5 or 6 people in there
 
Lol u don't need that much rest since your numbers aren't that heavy pal.

Maybe if you focused more on yourself than criticizing dudes in your gym you'd reach your goals faster
 
If you're lifting six days out of the week, and don't feel tired then your program sucks balls. Sorry papi.

3 days on
Active recovery day
2 days on
Sunday nada

This does get pretty annoying. The other day I had just gotten on the squat rack and I was adjusting the pins and whatnot and this lady comes up to me and asks if I'm done. I tell her no and I still have to warm up and then I have 5 working sets. She says okay and just stays right behind me doing some half assed stretching routine and just watches me.

I get you need the rack, but can't you go stretch somewhere else?

What are my numbers? Why are you worried about what I post online? Maybe you'd be more productive if you weren't.

I think I'm doing pretty well myself but if you don't maybe I'll work harder. :frown:
