Yee mang, hit dem 100s on flat for 4 sets 6 reps!

^^ Thats my goal for chest! Props!

I thought I would be super weak after doing grouse grind all weekend.
DL's right after the grind,
275x6, then new PB 295x3 and lost grip attempting the 4th!
Then new 1RM of 345!

I keep tearing up my shins when I do DL's though. is this normal?

nice man, making some solid gains right there.

Will report back when i hit dem 315 bench. Inb4 2015

ps. Has anyone tried the "Shortcut to size" workout by Jim Stoppani? Pretty legit! I'm on my 4th week. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shortcut-to-size.html

if it's 15 lbs of sterile fat mass, then it doesn't count :troll:

235 lbs is nevertheless solid progress compared to your 225 from the RS challenge, just gotta stay consistent with the workouts man!

Hit a squat pr of 315 today!

Couldn't do it without a belt though

its normal. a good sign that the bar isint floating away from u as u deadlift.

I always have scratches all over my shins after deadlift days lol and I wear long pants

making some solid muscle/strength gains on PHAT and it's only the beginning of week two :)

Edit I dont know how to delete posts anymore...

Wait, are you calling me fat? :p

405deadlift PR@ 156lb sucessfull woot!!!!! 2013 lookin good.
used a belt+modified sumo stance.

wow, such a dramatic progression since the last time I saw you

you're on your way to 3x bodyweight deadlift buddy

one day....lol. my form was pretty iffy but at least it got up!

hey guys havnt posted up here in a while. doesnt mean i have been lifting like fawk!. But if anybody could help me out with this would be great.

Quick story short as some of you guys have heard this before. I went from 260roughly to about 160. Ive gained back about 190 (started lifting heavy). Im currently doing a cut right now to see how much muscle ive gained. (when i hit 160 i looked like a smaller fatter version of myself). Keep in mind as well im only 5'6 - 5'7. But i was just wondering, how do i know if i have loose skin or the remaining is fat? or if its both?. Ive read online but it doesnt really help. I wouldn't mind pming someone a pic if they can give me a little of a better insight.

Thanks in advance!

100lbs is a ton of weight. Good on you! But een at a young age, i'm sure your skin does not have that much elasticity to tighten right up completely. I am still a little curious how you got shorter with the weight lose though ;)

recovering well from lower back blowout.

rows : 265 with 5x5
over head push press : 150 with 5x5
close grip bench : 205 with 5x5
preacher curls : 105 with 5x5

almost back :fuckyea:

How quickly did you lose all that weight? If it's within a short time like a year (assuming it was a pretty healthy weight lose) there's a pretty high chance of it just being loose skin since that weight was lost that quickly. Getting an expert such as a trainer to check it out would be a good idea in my opinion, they can do pretty easy tests.

hahaha sorry i meant smaller not shorter :)

Yeah i lost a good portion of it (80pounds or so in like 8months).

the belt didn't lift it, you did

Yeah then most likely it's going to be just lose skin if you lost that much in such a small time frame. On another note you can probably kind of tell if it's loose skin or not, is it just loose/wrinkly? Because if so it's just loose skin.


also, fuck ya 100th post gotta be in the workout thread.

squat pr myself as well tonight - 265lbsx3

Dropped a 45lb plate on my toe tonight. Played it off like it didn't hurt. Still feeling it now.

Done that before when It happens at the gym you are like fuck yeah don't even lift the plate off the ground just walk away

Next day crying in bed lol

I did it wearing socks only too, but didn't want to let the gym attendants feel any better about themselves for telling me to put shoes on

after that, I put my shoes on :troll:
