Add anything new to your diet?
Animal Pak makes my piss all funny coloured and smelly.

well like quoting from layne norton, you need to have strength to get stronger and lift heavier for your muscles to grow, and the only way you can get that is by working power and hypertrophy (high volume) interchangeably.

I'm mainly going for bodybuilding, but do work on strength from time to time... I know you work on bodybuilding right? Cus you probably got one of the most toned bodies here, besides me of course :troll: jk

+1 to this. with the weather being what it is, it's a highly possible reason and you might not even realize it

I bodybuild and lift heavy ass weight

Loving this madcow 5x5. PR's twice a week!
Focusing on building a good foundation right now, then I'll get into some hypertrophy later on :)

at the moment, i'm doing all power lifting stuff
i'll probably go more into bodybuilding in january
i want to be super strong and shredded in the future :fuckyea:

When was this? I haven't noticed any new equipment at the Oval.

If you guys move to the Oval, maybe one of you can spot me for barbell bench. :considered:

edit: oh, wait, I think you were referring to your gym...

i donno what was with me today, but i could only flat bench 90s for 5 times only :QQ:
i think it was cus i had a pretty intense deadlift day yesterday

on top of that, i tore an ab muscle after not touching abs for weeks... like wtf who tears an ab muscle

overall shitty workout today.

Woke up with a headache, feel pretty light headed. Maybe I'm sick and my body was pissing out alot of dead blood cells/toxins.

back to going heavy tomorrow
deload week over

hopefully i'll break some pr's.
working towards the goal of 315lbs squat 1RM @ 140 by the end of august / end of my first year

What's a deload week? I just keep lifting heavy then I worry about it when I stop making gains.

it's where you do half weights for about a week to give your body a break and some rest

i only do it when i feel sore and fuck and tired during the next workout
i'm usually good to go the next day, except a week ago where i couldn't lift shit for that workout because i was so sore and tired
i think i earned my deload lol, i added +40-45lbs to my squats over the last couple months

Bahaha, I just creep in this thread here and there. Just seems as though everyone talks about gains in moving weight rather than actually appearance in physique. But all is good.

I usually do power lifting movements during the winter and switch it up to bodybuilding during Spring and Summer. But seeing a lot of gains from bodybuilding I'm now leaning more towards it rather than weightlifting.

Pretty simply actually. Just a week or more of complete rest. Either no heavy lifting at all or just light to moderate lifting for maintenance. A rest period for your body to rejuvenate in a sense while still eating proper of course.

no deload week for me. go hard or go home; lift or no lift, there is no in between

just my personal preference

i mean i do switch from power/strength routines to lighter hypertrophy routines but thats it

:fuckthatshit::fuckthatshit::fuckthatshit:Deload week

no gym for me the last 2 days..ever since i puked ive been having mad headaches everyday =/ gf is being nice and making me drink lots of water though and it seems to help. hopefully i can go tmrrow

^see... now this is the only time i would ever use a deload week

hope it gets better man, ill be seeing u at the gym sometime

rackpulling h00g3 weight for h00g3 reps today

Be safe and don't hurt back like me

Arm day a little bit of chest. Going high volume reps today :)

Sprained mah wrist.... Hurts wahhh, guess no gym today fml

Couple of kids have been 'Mirin me lifting for a couple weeks now. I see them constantly watching what I do and trying to emulate my workouts. I pretty much zone out when I'm lifting and don't talk much but one of them finally came over and asked me if I would show him how to deadlift properly. I said sure and gave them a lesson on deadlifting. They are your typical no idea what to do lifters. See em do some curls then some fly's then some other random lift. I asked if they wanted me to write up a program for them and they almost came in their pants. "Dude that would be so fucking awesome. Thank you so much"

I'm just going to get them on the 5X5 program for starts and see if they actually stick with the gym.

Berz out.

Solid bro. It's nice to give the youngsters a push in the right direction. :thumbs:

And if at any point they start annoying you, put them on a crossfit routine :troll:

That's nice of u Berz
You are giving them the right direction
