Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given

[Weightlifting Thread] Don't Forget: Slider Is A Moron

Cheating motions have their place in development. They let you do a higher amount of negative work than you would normally do, and if you push beyond where you would with normal form you can get in just as much work. You just have to do it purposefully and with full knowledge of how you have to adapt your routine.
I squatted for the first time in a long time the other day. Very frustrating, I had left off with a PR of 220X9, first day back and I managed 135X9 and 155X6 before I was feeling pretty fried. I'm guessing the number will jump up pretty quickly when I get used to squatting again though. I've been having HUGE problems balancing lifting with MMA, plus I've been sidelined with injuries a good bit.
But I'm back moving heavy things.
Also, a buddy of mine I started coaching about 6 months ago pulled 310X2 on deadlifts. When he started with me he had trouble doing bodyweight squats and couldn't do one push up. I'm very very proud.

Oh and no I didn't get it but I had a spotter so I didn't die. I think I spit on him though, I felt a little bad but he didn't notice so it was cool.
The spotter lifter relationship is two way peen. For every time you accidentally spit on a guy, there will be a time when you're forced to rep while staring at your spotter's scrotum. The inevitable balance between these two events is one of the beautiful mysteries of our universe.
I was missing simple, stupid carbs. A couple days eating some sammiches on grainy-ass whole wheat, and I feel like a million dollars. Ridiculous.

its a good combo
So do people teabag you while you're trying to bench or what? How on earth are you seeing sack whilst benching?
that's the plan, possibly get into it in february
As a user of strangers for spotters, I am surprised you haven't encountered this yet. It's the spotter wearing shorts and no underwear who gets close to the bar to follow it down with you. The line of sight often aligns so uncannily well that you could almost believe that the bench press was designed as an exercise to perv on other guys' berries.
I hope you don't experience this, I really do. But I'm just saying - it happens.
i did 275 x 4 today, which is good, i still weigh 150 (though my gut has gotten larger lately with my bad eating habits)
i couldnt find my old one
Speaking of cripple legs - y'all remember the one-legged deadlifting girl? Yeah, she squats too.
If she can do it, you can.
I almost never have a spotter, I just don't lift outside my means. Last night was a special occasion because I knew there was a high probability that I'd get stuck and die. I also said to him to back the fuck off and don't touch anything unless I asked him to (nicer than that but that was the message). I think a key there is pick a dude who's way smaller than you. He was so giddy about being asked to spot someone and laughing with his friends about it that he was hardly paying attention.
but she's clearly a better human being than me and not a big whiner
though right now, no, i can't squat, and it makes me sad
But, I did crush everyone else's bicep size. I think that earns me an early dismissal.
So I can go the gym.
Well, it was mutual annihilation because I'd never squatted that hard and after I felt like puking and didn't want to finish my workout, but I persevered. Good times.
Thankfully he was already talking to someone else, so he didn't latch on to me until my last lift of the day.
But today he was talking about what he should do about this girl. He seriously talked to the other guy for 40 minutes about this shit. After he talked to her at a bus stop, where she recognized him from when they were in high school, 5 boys and 5 girls came from another bus and told him that she was a freak and kind of a ho and has the clap, and he told me that she got kicked out of high school for having sex on school grounds and bringing drugs to school. She never graduated or got a GED. Also, the last time he talked to her was May/April 2010. Never called her after that. But apparently he ran into her somewhere and "made history with her" on 3 separate occasions. I think that meant they banged, but god only knows what this kid says. I think he's on parole, but he said he couldn't mess with her because he was on "PL." I asked what PL meant, and he was incredulous that I didn't know, and said it was an abbreviation, but then never told me what it meant.
Then he told me that "whenever something happens to her on the street (rape, assault, who the fuck knows?), she tells the cops that he did it.
I don't even what the fuck
owwwwww
