I lift like I play Starcraft: very poorly for how long I've been doing it

bro do u even play starcraft?

I still haven't seen maddelisk stream. When does she usually play?

Also msspyte is the only reason I ever watch SC2 anymore lol.

i just beat a gold. he was PISSED

then i lose to a guy who did some mech all-in that i hadn't seen before, then I had a game won vs zerg when he ran like 80 banes into my whole army while i was dropping mules on a mineral patch, then i lost to HT+archon because idk how to make or use ghosts. still terrible at this game.

what is a mech allin? defensive tanks alone should never lose a non 3 base mech

emp/splitting is crucial vs archons. snipe is really tough compared to how easy storm is lol... so emp is crucial vs storm too (-3 range tho gl!)

I mean I have a pretty skinny frame/was pretty weak when I started out.

Your form might be holding you back. Have you watched dave tate's so you think you can bench? Search on youtube its quality.

Wat, you are literally just comparing fit stocky small types if this is what you believe. I am 208 lbs and 6'8". Have fun getting me to bench 210 lbs in 3 months.

Benching is made for small short fireplug guys so they get to brag to their friends how much their short arms pushed up.

I think the reason maddelisk can bench like that is caus e she seems to be pretty "wide" in a non-fat sense.

Woongjin releases half its roster including ZerO and free

This sounds like something someone bad at lifting would say

6'8 208lb...... Dear god go eat some food.

I am 6'7 200 and I eat nonstop

Genetics bro

Man what the hell is happening...

And I thought I was a beanpole at 6'1 165.

*woongjin is dead but soulkey and sOs are still sponsored

lol

Oversaturation of pro players in Korea. Just think about it, what competitions there are in Korea and how many pro players there are, especially after kespa joined last year. Plus the old BW heroes do not neccesarily enjoy Hots as much as BW, hence they decide to move on with their lives, army and so forth.

No clue how it's possible for people to be so tall and so thin.

Genetics bro

September winrates:



Seems pretty balanced. I was kinda surprised by how even ZvT and PvT were last month.

^^ gonna make a lotta people angry

some of this, but diet is key and 99% of people do it wrong. i never even bothered eating super cleanly because i was workin out constantly

went from 164 and 13.5% body fat to 178 and 6% in like 5 months from wrestling one year. our hs was top 10 in the country tho, and we had 2 twins who were both #1 in the country. they got me to try it my sr year because they said it was tougher than soccer practices (and we ran a LOT) they werent wrong.

used to bench 275x3 and rep 225. did 225x24 a couple times too. leg pressed 1kx8 one day in gym class, barely lifted legs tho. never bothered squatting hard because it seems like such a silly risk to my knees.

The problem is you are a beanpole. Brian Shaw is your height, he benches like 600lbs?

Benching is hard for long limbed guys, just like squatting, but 210lbs is not that much for any adult male unless you have some sort of medical problem. You could easily bench 210lbs in 3 months if you ate some food (like 4k+ calories 300g protein a day), I mean easily.

Height isn't the problem, it's body type

I have friends who almost never lift who could roll out of bed and bench 225. Height absolutely makes it way harder to lift the same amount of weight, let's be real about that. And it is more difficult for some people to gain weight than others just like some people have trouble losing weight. Trust me, I've put on 15 pounds in the last 8 months or so and it hasn't come easy at all. Let's not get into bench press dick-waving contests in a starcraft forum, lol

I wish I could *only* put on 15 lbs in 8 months

This is just not true unless you reword it or something. The ability to lift on an absolute scale goes UP with height until you get over a certain height.

And of course there are huge differences between different people, but bodyweight bench is not a difficult target for any healthy male and can be reached quickly for anyone if they actually tried.

What was hard about you gaining 15 pounds? If you start at equilibrium and in 8 months you drink 2 protein shakes a day (with milk, for example so ~ 500 cals) extra and keep everything else the same and you would gain roughly that, in fact you would gain more almost certainly. The only hard thing about it would be remembering to do it and that isn't too tricky a problem to solve. I have friends who say they can't gain weight, but then I lived with them, and they ate **** all. They claimed they ate like a horse, but that was true like once a week maybe.
