Yeah the total tard:good poster ratio there is pretty abysmal and there's lots of guys who are deathly afraid of actually getting strong/less than 10 reps/volume, even if they did so in the absence of bulking. I think when you get the drugs+strong+hundreds of sets of isolation you get the Ronnie Colemans of the world, and when you just do the isolation horse**** you don't progress as fast and generally look worse. I guess I'll find out first hand soon enough.


On an unrelated note, one of my friends made a promo for his training/mma coaching business.



I love the guy, but this reminds me of Mac on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. There's a few clips of my lifting on his channel as well

box deadlifts seem legit...

Every once in a while someone will pop out with some high-rep justification that, say, Tom Platz had the greatest legs ever and he did 20 rep sets in squat, so I do them too!

Yeah but bro, he did that with 405, not 135.

My favorite is always "Bro, look at this powerlifter who squats 700lbs and benched 400 but is not buff or jacked and probably doesn't get any of the pussy" without mentioning that its obvious fat guy in rubber suit quarter sumo squatting.

I mean if you incline 400lbs+ for high reps, you have an IFBB chest even if the same guys are tarding around about "mind muscle connection".

Oh yeah, he's a raw west side donk too just like your hero Jason.

Are inverted pullups legit? Fun to do, but probably GGOy.

i don't think westside even box deadlifts. i mean wtf is that.

high rep squats are the balls. gonna hit 405 for 15 at some point in life.

I'm too drunk to even post something funny. Goonight

pre-edit: Wow its only 1am im such a pussy

It was the lowest I could go without screwing up my sleep or studies too much. MFP suggests 1400, which isn't drastically different. Is it unreasonable to aim for over two pounds/week?

Please elaborate.

If you want to keep muscle as you lose weight, you're going about it backward. You should be doing weight training and not very much cardio. This tells your body that you need to keep muscle. Eating lots of protein allows your body the resources it needs to keep that muscle.

Doing a lot of cardio and no weight training with a low protein diet tells your body that it doesn't really need all that muscle and that it doesn't have the resources to keep it anyway. So it allows the muscle to be "cannibalized" by the body.

Ah. I have minimal muscle to preserve. Just trying to lose as much weight as possible to make existence easier for my gimped lower back. Doing low-carb because there's supposedly less hunger, holding calories constant.

Low carb is fine, but you should be eating lots of stuff like chicken breast or fish (lots of protein, not too many calories).


Exactly how "gimped" is your back? Is it just sore a lot? Or have you actually been diagnosed with something?

Four herniated lumbar disks.

Broskis, PSA:

100 bill at my work. Watermark, safety strip, ridges on the collar, color shifting ink, all the bells and whistles. Would have happily accepted it. Failed the pen test.

Bank confirms fake bill, has seen more if them.

Be careful

damn JF. Impressive.

So they just announced another guest for the CAPO Nationals over here later in the year...

No big deal... just Boris Sheiko.

Boris Sheiko - "Russian Super Coach" is now a confirmed guest at CAPO Nationals 2013 "Hobart"

Sheiko himself will conduct ONE seminar only whilst in Australia - it will, take place on Saturday evening the 10th of August at the Derwent Entertainment Centre (competition venue).

This is will not be your basic Q & A seminar - Sheiko plans to prepare thoroughly, and will cover technique and methodology of powerlifting training, with the use of digital video and photo material.

Tickets to participate in this rare opportunity will be on sale soon.

I really wonder how many fake bills ive been given I dont even hold them up to the light. I probably touch 10000 everyday.

What do you do?

I'm gonna have to stop helping the random guys who ask for 500 while I'm in the cashout line.

LOLd. Best use of this I've ever seen.

mbn to be in the cashout line

90% of my hundreds are from one casino, so if they tried to tell me I had a fake I'd prob ISF.

That happened to a guy at a casino i was playing at a few years ago. He went to buy some chips, they found one of his bills was counterfeit. They confiscated it, apparently to give to the secret service, which is the agency that covers counterfeit money.

The guy was a reg who played every day so so told them he probably got it from the casino in the first place, but obviously the casino wasn't giving him a refund for the fake bill.

Ugh, I'm feeling disgusting and superfat. I can't wait to stop bulking. Or maybe it was the fact that I attempted this 5lb burger challenge last night and was defeated

Benched 135 kg raw at 92,7 kg today. Wasnt pretty.
