67 - you are ossum!

You're a scrawny toothpick compared to squid.

Squid Face - I know that's probably sarcastic, but I'll still say thank you, and that I look forward to seeing you in LV.

Sabr - I've been over this, but my bulks are difficult because I have a rough time mentally if I lose my abs. I value abs and definition above all else. I don't get too much out of being a fat ****, but oh hey look I'm massive.

Refer to my previous comment about being a fat lifter

true

It is definitely transmitted during promiscuous gay sex

FWIW some guy at a bar in Columbus unsolicitly told me I was jacked.

no offense 67 but that is horseshit. U do not squat and u dont deadlift. I have had abs my entire life. I dont "bulk". I maintain roughly the same body weight all year long. Im 53 btw. U R skinny

I think you're missing the point of my post.

I think Squiddy's original post was an example to show how good the game still is. My rebuttal is that the example may in fact show the opposite (considering the much worse routes his opponent decided to not take). (Although I'm not intending for the example to be a be-all-end-all indicator of how his game is, and I'm doubting Squiddy is either)

As to how I deal with this exact situation myself, I fold really easy here and don't think any other play is remotely close for 99% of the poker population in this spot. You're obviously in the 1%, so do whatever you want.

Spy just said the other day that you don't have to squat or deadlift. I'm looking to prevent any and all injuries. I tore my tricep tendon once, and tore an Achilles tendon once and was miserable. I can't handle not working out, and I was told squats and deadlifts are a high injury risk.

I'm actually surprised you're that young. For a skinny person I have nice muscles. I'm not saying I look like this great bodybuilder or whatever, but I don't think I should frown about how I look. I look better than a very strong majority of the population, and working out makes me feel good. So does dieting.

According to 67o either you are thin/toned or you are fat. Nothing else.

Well I personally feel fat when my abs get less defined. I don't go around telling people they're fat or anything like that.

Did you miss my post from last night about the Venetian throwing a guy out because he was wearing a mask?

Almost all barbell movements are low injury risk. Just throwing that out there. Even proportionally, it's just not really a factor. Load selection is way more important than which exercises you do when it comes to risk of injury.

But it’s a lean, muscular well shaped 170, right?

@Johnny No I didn't, but I would hope that's an isolated incident, and gets fixed.

@DashOfSalt Thank you.

@FW Yes, of course.

67 - I disagree with spyu on that one. I honestly believe squat and DL are critical to any training routine if u want to put on size. I have never injured mysef in the gym and I have approx 36 years of experience. I have not maxed a single lift in a very long time. I still squat and deadlift reasonable weight but I have upped my reps as my age has risen.

I have had 2 knee surgeries, 1 ankle surgery, 3 shoulder surgeries, and multiple invasive shoulder procedures. I do not know how many bones I have broken including my back . So when people tell me they have bad joints I tend to lol. I believe in my heart of hearts squattin and DL have helped keep me tough so I can do the sports I enjoy. I highly advise you incorperate em into yer routine

I agree with you there are many types of players I'd rather have than a scared nit on my right. I'd have them on my left.

What day do I even incorporate them? I do bi, tri, chest, shoulder, and leg. I'll try them out. I'll definitely watch form videos, because I'm terrified of injury, and even more terrified of surgery.

I tend to squat on leg day.
I do deads on back day.
They are exhausting lifts so I make sure that they do not fall on days close together. I see no mention of back in yer routine

67 - my body has exactly zero surgeries left in it. Seriously I will not be able to recover from another. I have toned down my activities cuz I simply can not go through another. But I still squat and DL. That should b an indication of how safe I feel those movements are if done properly

Back is mixed in on any of the upper body days. I fear if I create a whole new day that I'll be ****ed, and my biceps will start looking less sexy amongst other things. Anyways, I'll try both out, thank you.

How does someone workout as much as you and stay so itty bitty?

Itty bitty and injury prone.

Lemme guess, you have chicken legs?

Because I eat super healthy. I don't eat any junk food at all. I'll have beer about once a month, but other than that I'm super clean.
