I go for runs. It's free and you can discover new routes every time.

^ Just don't be like me. Run into no mans land and run into a bunch of naked homeless and start wishing you never were so curious..

GR, i want to squat tomorrow morning, see how i feel...

lol where is this no mans land?

Not so sick anymore! Solid day for overhead press and deadlift ... added 20 lbs to my 5RM (115lbs --> 135lbs) today for mill press, Maxed at 145x1 mill press.

Felt good throwing 3 plates on the bar for deadlift and repping it for 5 reps. Was so psyched that right after I finished, i threw it on the rack and did rackpulls with it. Then added 25's and rackpulled 365x6. By the end of it my eyes were red from sweat getting in them :fullofwin:

Oh, and if anyone wants to do stronglifts,

When I started in mid august:
Mill press - ~100 lbs 5x5
Deadlift - ~275 lbs for ~3 reps, with horrible form + my back would hurt for days after (bad pain)

Now:
Mill Press - 145 x 2 max, 135 5RM
Deadlift - 315 5RM, 285 5x5

My maxes always went up and down in the past because I'd go on and off from the gym, since august I go atleast 2x a week, usually 3x a week.

the workout challenge STILL isn't updated and you're in here chatting about how to type 2/two/too/to ?!? :troll:

edit: i've got an idea, bent over dumbbell rows, half bodyweight. If you're 180lbs you row a 90 lb dumbbell. High rep challenge.

Running doesn't let me blow steam and build uper body :(

feels good to catch up to my friend , he has been gymming for just over a year, i started in late january, and my numbers are just below his :concentrate:

ps : ofcourse he's all skinny and good looking..my muscle is covered by fat :fuckthatshit:

I wonder how my gym schedule's going to be because i work graveyard shifts. 11pm-7am. Any of you guys work graveyard? I have a feeling imma sleep till 3-4pm in the afternoon... and maybe work out at 5 or 6 if not just before my shift starts.

My turn to get sick. Woke up this morning with a sore throat and progressively got worse to coughing and now feeling very run down/tired. Still want to hit the gym today and go for 3 plate deadlift. (315lb 5RM) Strength should still be there.

Skinnypupp: same here. November will be the one year point for 5x5 for me. I want to run more and switch to isolation for a while to mix things up.

rackpulls today.....245x5x3.
Been out of gym for awhile....sick/sore
Feels good....espesh for somebody my size....i saw some guys mirin...:fullofwin:

Tons of glares while me and my buddy were doing decline, I know it's easier but shit

First few ATG's are hard on the hip flexors, at least for me. Only after stretching and a warm up set can i start going heavy

I try not to lock out on a2g's. My lower back still feels strained.

Very hard on the flexors. if anyone can post some stretches for the flexors it'd be greatly appreciated :( Hurts real bad when I do it. I try doing the "fat joe - lean back" stretch but it doesn't do much.

THanks. But there was a whole site that really put it together well. Or maybe it was a PDF.. ffs I can't remember.

Not a big deal yet, as I'll be cutting for the next 3 months anyway :okay:

I'm starting to throw oats in my diet but i find that making oatmeal to eat in the morning with 1 cup of oats is such a pain to eat. I heard people crush up their oats in a coffee grinder and drink it with protein. when would be a good time during the day to do this?

one CUP of oats???

Are you trying to destroy your pancreas? lol

Are oats bad for you? I usually have about 1-2 rice cups of steel cut oats in the morning.

I soak them in water then boil it for 30+ minutes.

I had a major stomach cramp when i ate that much oatmeal. NOT GOOD.

1 cup of uncooked oatmeal has to be what, 100g? That is almost an entire's day of carb intake if you are cutting :lol

But even if not cutting, that's a HUUUUUUUUUGE insulin spike (oatmeal spikes blood sugar more than just about everything).

If you are Halo and are in major gain mode then you can get away with it, but otherwise I'd cut it back a bit.

But if you are in 'normal' gain mode, and need a big breakfast with calories, cut it down to like 30g uncooked, add some coconut milk, and have some eggs and a protein shake on the side, and a spoon of fish oil. Same calories, but more useful - good fat, protein - and longer lasting energy, and less insulin spike.
