You guys are just jealous that she squats more than you ever will.
You reckon she's in briefs Kak? Or hiding a suit under the t-shirt? Or was that raw except for the belt? Don't get me wrong, impressive any which way. I'm just curious.
Am I the only one that doesn't have to listen to screamo metal to be in the mood to lift?
Naw, I don't really dig the metal either. Although my tastes are probably worse. I realised this morning that I have set all my deadlift PRs (barring the one in competition where there was no music) to the same song.
I don't know what it is about this song and deadlifting but it just gets me going. Fucked if I can squat to it though.
Hey guys, I've been thinking for a while now that I'd quite like to beef up my upper body a bit. I'm a pretty skinny dude but I do a lot of walking so my legs are solid, but when it comes to my upper body and arms I feel a little bit under-developed. I'd rather not join a gym or put too much money into it but can anybody suggest some exercises that I can do at home in a reasonably small space that will help me bulk up a bit?
This shit belongs in the OP. My god, I haven't laughed so hard in a while.
A+
so simple, yet so good
(and yeah i probably don't need a fiber supplement, i eat salad every day for lunch, and usually have some veggie with dinner, but... i just havent had a good poop since yesterday afternoon ya kno?)
Obligatory off-color "White man can jump" comment.
Back days so far have been feeling... kinda disconcerting. I'm doing RDLs at 225 (my actual DL is 315 x 5) and GMs at 135... but I don't "feel" them, while at the gym or in soreness the next day or two. I wanna help my back angle on the squat, and I'm getting the sense that fixing my lower-back is the key there. Not having done RDLs or GMs before, though, I think I might be fucking them up.

If you're doing them wrong, you should still feel something... somewhere.
Man, I missed my overhead presses today. Only got through 3 on the second set (3x5). Took 5 lbs off, did two more sets, and still ended up push-pressing the last two of the last set.
And I kept the weight the same as Friday too! I actually struggled less on Friday, which is silly. Maybe I need more sleep or something, only got 5 hours.
Also, it's really god damn cold here right now. Got into the negative 50s last night. The gym was probably 65 degrees or so, and all the cardio machines face the plate glass windows, so your breath fogs them up.
On one of the windows, there were half-icicles on the INSIDE of the window, near the bottom. God damn ridiculous.
Yeah, working 3rd shift sucks fat dicks. Sometimes I'll be able to sleep properly for a few weeks in a row, then I'll have a month of 4-5 hours a day and having to nap almost every evening. Bleh.
Finally moved off my island in Alaska and have a gym again.
The downside is I've basically had to start over and am nowhere near big manning. I figured I'd do it right this time and do a straight SS routine until I got back up to my numbers before I moved.
Was:
DL: 415
Squat: 365
Bench: 215
Now: DL 235
Squat: 215
Bench: 150
And I am hells of chubbier, like fat just grew over top of muscle.
So, weight lifting and fat loss? My question here is, do I eat massively if my goal is to trim off the fat I already have by getting stronger and increasing my lean muscle mass? Or, do I keep working out (SS + Running HIIT 20 minutes MWF) but eat normally (2000-2500)? Which way is more efficient for just getting fat off my body?
Basically, I want to be strong, yes, but it's more important to me to feel just really healthy, like I could take on most any activity and not be hampered by having useless fat just weighing down my movements.

maybe i was overdoing the pullups
I've been listening to sleigh bells lately when I lift
Alexis Krauss is enough motivation to get me to do anything
also what has two thumbs and almost passed out doing deadlifts today
this guy
felt good until I tripped over nothing at all a few minutes later
good choice
i agree with it
and deadlifts
i started a new pandora station a few weeks ago with just sleigh bells and zero other input
it now plays feist and cat powers almost exclusively. what the fuck.
Let's make record. It will look like:
Side A.
1. Tomato Soup
2. Grilled Cheese
Side B.
1. Naptime
