it's great because there's a double lol involved.

you must do your own research thoroughly if you wish to obtain the right knowledge.

Although us poker players may be able to give you advice, nothing is better than the ppl who know it best.

research this site as much as you would a poker forum.

lol at the suggestion

more advice from suicdeking plz

My back finally felt good enough today, though it did feel a little suspect when I woke up. These squats absolutely killed me today. Completely drained me, and I didn't feel as good as I have been, so it was pretty meh. I'm only going to start filming my 1st work set, all the sets is getting to be a bit too much.

Anyway here is what I did today:

Squat:
270x3x5

Notes: I was only going to film the 1st set, but it felt like it sucked so I filmed another one. I'm still putting too much weight on my toes, but I did make a conscious effort to do it less this time. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep increasing these 10 pounds/week at a pretty big deficit, but I might surprise myself.

Press:
117.5x3x5/4/3

Notes: Fuuuuuu. I should have done this before squats but I always forget. I don't even think I made full lockout on the last rep filmed, it's like 1/2 lockout. Just lots of fail on my Press.

Dead hang chins: 2

Sweet. That 100% improvement over 1.

I'm considering a new strategy for lifting that would be the same amount of lower volume every week. It would basically just doing 1 lift every day.

Format:
M: Squat
Tu: Bench
W: DL
Th: Squat
F: Press
Sat: PC
Sun: Rest

I feel like I could be fresh for each lift every day, and the volume would be low enough so it would be doable. I dunno, maybe it's super important to have full days of rest eating at a big deficit.

And I am successfully eating less than 1/2 of what I was eating for the last 6 months. So far so good, tomorrow will probably be carb refeed day because it's obv the superbowl and party time.

I think a number of your squats are noticeably shallow. Reps 4/5 of the first set look particularly high to me. Could just be the camera angle but I don't think so. It's easy to keep adding weight at the expense of depth, don't fall into that trap.

next time you press, can you get video from the side? looks like you are pushing/keeping the bar too far in front. get it closer to your face

i nominate JF most likely to die while lifting weights in HF. I dunno, just something about that garage. **** would go undiscovered for days in that dungeon.

For sure. Whats on the other side of that door?

Do you lift during the evening/nighttime?

If you insist on squatting in the dark garage at least have some kenny loggins danger zone playing

I think if I got off work tuesday morning, killed myself squatting soon afterwards, nobody would miss me until thursday night when I didn't show up at work. They would send somebody over, so yes days.



I agree. I think the 4th rep is the threshold of acceptable depth, 5th is high for sure. But I usually have had good depth in the last month or so, so I'm ok with it for now, as long as it doesn't keep happening.

I need some hot girl to tell me they think a man with a strong press is hot at this point. F this lift. I do suck at. Anything you think that is probably wrong most assuredly is.

It's just a garage door out to my parking spot, and I recently acquired a piano (free, awesome) and I lift whenever it works out to. Good idea danger zone.

Since I started focusing on my diet I've been slacking on my workouts. That's going to stop. Today was a pretty good workout until I got to DLs where I was totally spent. I've also been programming my DLs like crap and I'm paying for it now. Anyway here is what I did:

Squat:
275x3x5

Bench
175x3x5

DL
1x295 (double over hand)

I taped the workouts and I'll upload them later. My squats were pretty good, and I hit depth on most of them but there were a few later ones that were close.

I skipped a micro-load on my bench and it was easy. However, after watching it back I noticed the path is not vertical at all. It's pretty diagonal starting lower on my chest and moving above my head. How bad is this? I'll have the vid up later.

And my DL just sucked. My back was hurting pretty bad I might and try and just do a DL day on Fri. I'll see what happens.

I'd def. consider going down to 2x5 on the squat while on the deficit and even throwing in some light days or front squat days.I have benefited greatly from micro-loading press/BP during this time as well. Finally, DL'ing near your 5RM while on a deficit can be a bit of a chore, I'd make sure to do it near my refeed if I were you. I basically bitched out on DLs and have been doing RDLs during this time.

Actually my plan was to squat 3x5 and work up until I totally stall out, reset and start doing 2x5 until I stall out, reset and do 1x5, etc. (2x week) Sound ok? This assumes a pretty significant calorie deficit, of course.

And I was thinking about just DLing 3 plates and work to more reps or something. I dunno. I guess I could just stop being a little bitch about it. That's probably best.

if you're on a deficit and it's feeling like that 3rd set is killing you, I'd just start doing 2 sets.

not being a bitch will go a long way while you're dieting

easier said than done however
