dam sick bench brah

thanks dude coming from u means alot :)

I'm doing a modified Push Pull Legs. I keep it simple

I do 1 big leg exercise (front squat or deadlift) and either 1 big pull or 1 big push movement per session. After that, I do whatever lifts I feel like doing to finish the session but its all compound. If I end up looking like a centaur, oh well.:blushsmile:

I try to 4 times a week in the winter and fall. Its probably going to be 3 or 2 times a week in the Spring and Summer.

I didn't like the way my gut looked so on Jan 15, I went on a cut. Goal was to lose 8 pounds in 2 months. Doing good but I really felt weak today. Maybe it was because I got the flu last week. I wonder if the flu and being on a cut are related (immunity lowered)?

Here's how I looked before cut:

Here's today:

Here's me 3 years ago :lawl:

Does anyone want to share their opinions or experiences with Leangains? I'm thinking about trying it after my cut ends.

Edit: figured my shit out.

keep up the good work man. i would personally recommend a moderate intensity high volume program because you'll expend quite a bit of calories


hit this today after dls, pretty easy. think i can go 405 soon

My wrists are sore after an upper body workout. I guess my wrists are pretty weak? Any suggestions on what I can do to prevent this? Would you recommend I go to the gym even if they're sore? I'm kind of afraid of a wrist injury cause they would push me back a couple weeks :/

good shit dude! just sifted through your page, do you still do sumo?

If they are sore, it is likely that your grip strength is a weak link

two options:

a)train grip strength (PG or R rated, either way works)
b)lighten up the weight, and increase other parameters instead like reps, sets, duration, etc

i'd probably take a break brah, your wrists hurting is a physiological sign that something is wrong

hope that helps!

nope not at all. too lazy to learn pulling sumo properly

Anyone catch the Arnold Classic? The distended guts this year were fucking out of control! Arnold condemned the judging and said fans should speak out against the current trends. I agree fully. Roelly looked absolutely dis-gut-sting.

Berz out.

Competing in my first powerlifting meet this april. Pretty stoked. registered for the 66kg weight class. Anybody else from here going to be there?

almost put 300 over my head yesterday.....sooooon

Anywhere local that sells rehband/SBD knee sleeves?

Any preference to what's better?

Nowhere local sells either of those IIRC, spend the extra bucks and get the SBD

fitness town (the burnaby location) sells rehbands

sbds are way thicker

i personally life my liftinglarge sleeves, alot cheaper than sbds and easier to get on while similar quality.

Inner Strength Products is I believe the only canadian website that carries SBDs. Should save you from the ridiculous exhange rate to USD

to add 100lbs to your squat --> sbd
to add 50lbs to your squat --> rehband

:troll:

i have rehbands, and they definitely help alot, but sbds are whole other playing field

lulz

sales for sbd increase 25%

knee sleeves dont even add a lb to ur squat, maybe placebowise

Fuahh upper body finally catching up to lower body. Its been almost 4 years since the last time I was able to do pull ups, dips ... Or hell even pushups for a reasonable amount of reps.

Here's to not being a fat fuck :fullofwin:

Intended to test my 1RM today, had been a few months since I last tried (315 x 2).

Lately have been just doing pyramid sets from 135 to 275 and back down (to failure each set).

Anyways, crushed my PR(335x4). I regret not throwing on more to truly test my 1rm.

thats a good bench man, but maybe next time no hands the bar, its crazy how different it is

hit a fairly ez tree fiddy paused bench yesterday myself.

ive been experiencing pretty solid progress by benching 4x a week 2x heavy, 1x volume, 1x speed

Mind sharing your set details? I've never tried a speed day.
