Make the pecs just a little smaller and that's the body I'd like to have one day.

the worst part is that she looks like she's probably has a nice face...

Yeah, that dude is really overcompensating for his feminine facial features

Honestly though, I'm not gonna lie here. I'd do her for the novelty.

Sex change through steroids.

Haven't caught up with this thread yet but wanted to post this. This is Matt Baller's workout from yesterday. He set the IPF WR bench and is getting better. Scroll to 2:20 to see his failed attempt at 570 (looked doomed from liftoff) and to 2:55 to see his retry that he makes. Not sure if it is competition passable (pause), but is impressive.

re: that girl. Now she has a 4 year buffer where she doesn't have to exercise at all and she will simply turn into a hot chick

Adhesions all over in the quads could contribute to the pain you have, but that one picture shows a common spot that causes that kneecap pain. Sometimes quad adhesions will tug on the patella tendon, and that pulls the kneecap into the leg bone. That's what was happening with me.

A few years ago I could not even do air squats because my kneecap was rubbing on my leg bone at ~60 degrees - that caused a lot of pain. I had that pain for several years prior. ~3 sessions of ART to the quads took care of it.

Go by feel imo. Just stop doing anything that makes it hurt, and work on getting all the adhesions out of the quads.

Impressive for sure.

I dunno, if she's the type that scratches your back or something, you'll end up in the hospital.

If anyone can work out where I could buy a print of this i'd be forever grateful.

Good way to die imho.

Just managed to get through most of my workout then. Hit up that spot between sets and as long as I stuck to singles it was ok. Will defs just torch my quads/hips between now and wednesday and see what my physio has to say. Bit o' dry needling shouldn't hurt.

Sounds like you've nailed it though.

Everything in this post is very excellent.

In other news...

Can't wait for the up coming piggin' picks from my favourite fb poster.

Lookn forward to haven mum,dad an little bro out an Scott an I getting to catch pig together

Tried this yesterday with my coachee, worked pretty amazingly well. Back no longer overextended. Boom. Thanks TST!

Day A: 90 min of basketball, 3900 calories burned in 16 hours
Day B: 90 min weight lifting, 2900 calories burned in 16 hours
Day C: No excersize, 1900 calories burned in 16 hours

Interesting

Sup bros. Can't fall asleep at Turning Stone after playing poker for the first time in a very long time. Managed to finish +$520 at 1/2NL and grabbed a room to crash for a few hours with my brother and the bachelor party. Tomorrow night is his wedding rehearsal dinner, with the wedding on Saturday.

So, I will be hitting 5/3/1 Bench in a few hours before those events begin on likely no sleep. Yikes!

Would be really interested to know how accurate that thing is.

If it really works, I might need one (since models for caloric needs always assume things like a healthy thyroid and normal metabolism).

Yeah I'm interested, too.

But I'm encouraged because:

My daily calorie needs are right around 2500 for maintenance. I typed my numbers into a calculator and it says I would burn roughly 600 calories in my sleep. Since my monitor says I burn 1900 calories in a 16 hour day with no exercise that exactly matches up to my estimated caloric daily needs.

Shrug

so 400 for the lifting, 1400 for 90 mins of b-ball. Sounds about right though a bit too high on the b-ball depending on how balls to the wall you went. Also a bit too low on the lifting probably.

Yeah I agree that 1400 seems high on bball but maybe its really more like...he burns 1100 at bball (more reasonable imo) and then after he stops he burns an extra 300 calories as he recovers. Who knows. Plus, that thing isn't going to be fully accurate according to the graph posted earlier.

Nope, the numbers are higher than that

My monitor was only used for 16 waking hours.

2k for basketball

1k for lifting

And yeah, when I was done with ball (going pretty hard) it said I was at roughly 1300 cal but I burnt 300 calories in the next hour and slowly tapered down to the usual 120/hr much later

Lifting said I was at about 700 by the time I was done, heart rate not nearly as high obv

Wow, I may have to go play hoops tonight.

Did you notice if the inactive level went below normal after either? I feel like playing hoops on a deficit kills my NEAT for a while after. Maybe that's just while you're body is busy regenerating, and you're increased anyway...

Badass, I'd buy this also

I'm pretty sure even if it does work, it wouldn't show any signs of thyroid dysfunction.

I have a bodymedia fit, which is supposed to work quite well (uses other metrics like moisture & temperature in addition to heart rate), but the word on the street is that it still wouldn't capture thyroid function abnormalities and uses a normal metabolism as a baseline.

Highland- I feel like my HR was +100 for quite a while after I finished and was +80 for maybe 2 hours? It's a pretty gradual taper.

My HR at night playing video games before bed was like 55 which I think is a bit lower than usual.

I should've wrote this stuff down and kept better track. I find it all pretty interesting

I usually leave my monitor on until my HR is solidly below 80 when cooling down when I'm tracking the calories for a specific excersize
