Lifting gloves do more bad than good for me. I feel I can't grip the bar very well with them. Just use a mixed grip if you need to.

I wear gloves for everything EXCEPT for DLs.

noob question: does protein consumption increase the # of farts released?

with some it does , some ppl are not use to taking more protein in like that, i myself have never had that problem, could be the kind you are taking isolate are pretty clean.

Yes. It's called protein fart. :fullofwin:

myofusion gave me scary warm farts

kaisen from costco gives me no farts

Stopped being a pussy and added 5lbs to my squats today. That squat video posted 1 or 2 pages ago helped a bunch.

fuq, pain is now in my elbow only, feels like someone is trying to drill a hole

hmm..im supposed to take a day off after a workout day..but i really wanna go right meow :ahwow:

Get some chalk man. Makes a world of difference for deadlifting heavy.

I did high reps for a change! :awwyeah:

smashed gym some more

:nyan:

after a year of building muscle thickness for low reps, when u start doing hypertrophy high rep u look fuckin siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickkk

http://cdn.overclock.net/e/e7/e765b8...rue-story.jpeg

True story. I switched from (in general) low 4-6 reps for strength to (in general) higher 10-12 reps in the last month. I swear I can watch myself grow. Rock hard pumps every muscle group every day like never before! I dont get pumps in low rep range.



Altho, the mother fucker at the gym whos 'the big guy' is eeking ahead of my strength wise. My ego wants to catch that fucker. :evil

just psych yourself up when you're doing strength training and you're good

but yeah switching to hypertrophy or even endurance is just like arnold said

cuming day and night :fullofwin:

you know theres a lot of talk of thickness and rock hard .... and cumming day and night and stuff on this page.


nohomo

read up on 5x5 and looking forward to starting the program

i'm pretty much gonna start at the base weights and go from there, yes i can lift more but i'm going to guess my endurance won't be quite up to snuff to start adding weight just yet, i'll see how it goes

do you guys stick to the:

A B
Squat 5x5 Squat 5x5
Bench Press 5x5 Overhead Press 5x5
Barbell Rows 5x5 Deadlift 1x5

plus chin-ups etc as directed?

any tips/variations?

thanks

definitely add rotator cuff and rear delts, otherwise you'll get injured later

i stick to just that and since it's 3 times a week

on the first day ill add a bi
on the 2nd a tri
on the 3rd a bi n tri lol

i should prob add delts/calves n shit like that, but naw lol just gonna do these til the program is over.

anyways im done 50% the program and thought i'd post some results from starting weight's until now

Squat = 80 > 170 5x5
OH = 50 > 90 5x5
DL = 100 > 180 1x5
Bench = 140 > 180 5x5
Rows = 75 > 115 5x5

Overall, i'm impressed with my squat and bench. I use to be TERRIBLE at squatting and never had proper form. Got that shit on lockdown and it feels good increasing the weight everytime :D And like i posted earlier i hit a PR on bench of 180 for 5 sets of 5 reps. Never had a spotter for ANYTHING yet, and i hope to stick like that (idk i think after 190 in bench i might need a spot haha) but you never know :thumbs: just super excited with the progress i've made :fullofwin:

luder just keep going at it strong ur like me i started off with a 90lb bench and like a 85lb squat.... u will be beast dont stop niggA!

Chest day today.

5x5 with incline bench press with 95 lb DBs
weighted dips with 70 lbs 3 sets of 8 reps
cable flies at the lowest 3 sets of 10
3 sets of push ups to failure

750lb racklift for 1!

I was light headed as fuck after. Damn low carbs and diet bullshit.

I don't have a fever apparently, but it sure feels like it

What could i do to stretch for deadlift, when i bring the bar down by my knee's my back rounds, unless i should bend my knee's at the lowest point i can bring the bar down.
