So after tearing my callus' for the first time on dead lift, I used my gloves on Saturday and hit a PR of 5x310lbs! I can put 3 plates on each side next time and go for 320 :D

Going for a PR on overhead press of 25x130lbs. This one is gonna be tough. Took me months get past 120 then 125lbs.

With OHP, do you guys prefer to power clean or pull it off a rack?

so do I, especially since I'm at 195lbs atm. Oh well, I've been trying to rebuild my strength for the past couple months

being sick sucks
anyone know where i can get those wrist straps that go around the bar i find that my wrist gives out before my back does

:O thats two plates + on each side

whats your 5RM ?

:fuckyea: fuck i have a random adrenalin rush out of no where out of my workout

failed a bit on my squat and overhead press, but i dead-lifted 285 today. few more weeks then ill join the 3 plate club hopefully :sweetjesus:

I like to power clean only because the stress I get on my shoulders when I pull it off the rack is way too weird/feelsbadman.

I'm exhausted, 14 hours out of the house is way too much, gonna power nap and go tear shit up at the gym.

feeling nauseous after an epic leg day. A good kind of nauseous lol.

Few sets of ATG squats, then a few sets of widowmaker squats (high rep low weight), front squat and barbell lunges.

Working more on stamina than high weight lately for hockey.

mother fuck...pulled my back doing some hack squats tonight. Hope it isn't serious. If you saw a guy in a bright yellow t shirt wobbling around that was me...

Ouch, hack squats can be tough to get just right when the weight is up there. I always get so many weird looks when I am doing them

Hack squats are scary

Yes but for quads nothings better :sweetjesus:

Never knew there is a difference between ATG (asstograss) squats and normal squats. I just think squats should go below parallel, at least thats the only way i do them.

edit: I hope the get the squat rack tomorrow morning, stokkked to do some squatss!

hey guys, just wanted some opinions
i just started really going to the gym about 3 weeks ago
i'm 153 pounds with about 14% bf
i really wanna lose that bf to around 10% so that i look leaner and my muscle definition will show (chest/abs/back, etc)
do you guys think it's safe to be doing HIIT everyday?
I'm also lifting everyday as well working out different muscle groups (tris/chest/shoulders 1 day, biceps/back/legs another day, I do ab ripper-x every other day too)
I've also cut out simple carbs and eating more veggies and fruits...lots of chicken, lean meats, tons of water, flax seeds with morning cereal, lots of eggs..I'm thinking if I should get some protein powder as well

what do you guys think? thanks for the help!

Lats are so sore it hurts to take a deep breath :megusta:

HIIT every day is too much. You should do what I'm doing - full body weights 3 times a week, each followed by a HIIT session. Work your way up to 15 mins of HIIT. Drop carbs to under 100g. Once you have reached a bit of a plateau, add eca or do a more extreme diet for 4 weeks.

What'd you do for your lats?




Todays workout was not bad, met a cool person @ SC for a change. If someone on here drives a red mr2 and goes SC, and uses chalk, I was the brown guy in the black hoodie :D Was nice working in with you, I hate it when people make me wait for the rack and take longass breaks lol.


Been a long f-ing time since i had anything close to a 45 on the bar for standing overhead press, in about 3-4 weeks, if it all goes to plan, I will surpass my old PR which is gonna be badass. So excited for that.

Substituted deadlifts for rackpulls. Feeling really sore and was able to max out at 375lbsx1:smug:. My gym sensei told me that rackpulling for a month should help me make some good gains in my deadlift, so that's what im gonna do :) Goal is to be rackpulling 400lb+ by the 3rd week of october, so that seems pretty realistic. Everything's going good :woot2:

Hit my lats with dumbbell rows yesterday, and before that, chinups. Starting over after 4 months, it doesn't take much weight to get REALLY sore

But it's a good sore :)

6x10 This morning.

Can. barely. walk. :fuckyea:

Agree. Takes a lot more energy to pull it off the ground, but I find that my body gets used to the weight. When pulling of the rack it is tough to get that first rep.

Tonight is 5x5: squat 265, bench 190, barbell row 165

Do you guys think it's douchey to be doing deadlifts in the power rack?

I see people do it there a lot and I used to do it too but deads don't require a rack so now I just grab a bar and go somewhere else so someone else can use the rack to do squats. It's nothing compared to people doing curls there but it also takes up a rack when you don't really need it.

It's fine. Same could be said about cleans and snatches since you don't need the rack pins, but its safer and better for all to do it in the rack. Better to have it in/around the enclosed rack area than in the middle of the dumbbells rack and benches with people trying to walk around you. Especially at a place like SC, it reduces risk of people bumping into you; you can really hurt yourself even if somebody slightly bumps your bar part-way through your lift.

I use a rack when it's available (my gym only has 1) because it's easier to add and remove plates. But if not, I will just rack it on a bench press, put on 2 large weights, move it to the ground, and add smaller diameter 10kg plates. Barefoot of course :D

seemed like the right place to put this

hey dhillon09 we should work out together some day

i do curls sometimes in the squat rack, but then again im doing more then people shoulder press so its ok
:troll:
