Hi loco.

Cool looking photos, looks like fun (except for murder mystery!). I think it was Evoken. Thoughts?

Looks like you can possibly beat your idol and hero canditbro at something. Just like N1H has overtaken his coach, you, too, will destroy your lifting father Candito.

Should be offended, but nah sounds like something I might do.

Just in case halfslant goes for #10 on the press whiteboard, I am going to KO him. We bench and press exactly the same weight.




Does this pass? I can fix lockout, I am talking about rack position.

how is that rack any different than the one you all were busting my balls over?

In a shocking development, when you cut 5% off the top and bottom of the ROM of a particular exercise, it makes the lift easier.

So candito says he can bench 340 and presses around 180. That isn't even that imbalanced IMO. There are guys like yugo, kc and pummi who have relatively weak benches causing a much smaller ratio, but for people that can actually bench heavy 340/180 isn't that strange a ratio IMO.

the bottom and top 5% of the press are by far the easiest parts

When I actually lifted I was like 190/345

Busto's around 230-235/360ish. That's an appropriate ratio imo.

195/370 but I haven't OHPed in a long time and probably never will again.

Yours was chin, mine is neck. No complaints, so looks like I proceed with training.

Yeah, it's fine.

We just subtract 10 lbs for halfslant and 5 for loco due to cheating ROM, 10 pounds each from DT and freed bird for their little bounce before the lift, and 15.lbs from Evo for laying down and Everything is good.

im waiting for someone to post a press video that is only shot from the waist up because it is secretly a seated press

Those guns are small but sleek. Arms top 1% leanness. Perfect. Maintain.

Broh,

You're not logging and presumably not lifting. You barely troll anyone's logs anymore. I think you need some motivation from our boy Janoy:

lololol genovas physique may be greater than locos in the future at some point. no lifting and massive amounts of pudding. rip.

Didn't Loco recently post a pic of himself looking sexy and ripped and say he was in PR territory for upper body lifts?

You mean the baggy blue shirt pic? I guess depending upon your definition of sexy and ripped.

I got cocky recently and fell apart. Was on tilt in Reno and bet 9k on the Tigers. They were up 3-0 in the 8th and I lost.

The next day I did a high volume workout and instantly felt better. Since the lost bag nightmare, I started working harder and was 90% through my 2015 financial goals. My lifting volume was mostly strength stuff 3x a week (mainly upper). Got cocky and fell apart.

To function at my best I need the perfect balance of strength training, cardio, and hypertrophy. So I have been working on the last two recently and I am back on track.

Lower body is in shambles. Extensive research has led me to believe I have pelvic misalignment. My back pain is 99% gone but the heaviest I have squatted is 225 for 4x2. Deadlift 230 for 3x6. Lol. No pain lifting is great though.

leg press, extensions, and leg curls at least?

Yeah I do light squats and deadlifts. And then I do leg press (mostly unilateral). Bulgarian split squats. Leg curl.

Front squats once in a while. But they hurt the most right now, probably because I tend to go heaviest on those.

My new back squat hasn't bothered me. I am guessing just a matter of time but keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck, my brother. On a long enough time scale, we all converge to jdock (privileged -ist hyphen shamers that eschew leg day).

I wish that was true. For whatever reason I never learn and am perpetually going through the same cycle of injury, minimal rest and rehab, and then jump back on squat wagon too soon, inevitably leading to re-injury.

What I really need is about 6 months of doing absolutely nothing that taxes my low back, then a year of core rehab before even thinking of starting lifting legs again, but I just can't help myself.

This must be what it is like for Weasel to try to go a full Sunday without 20 beers.

Dead srs I would just give up squatting and dling entirely. Not necessary for an aesthetic physique. "efficient", yes, "manly", yes, but not necessary even for the competitive bber much less the hobbyist or guy who wants to eventually get as big as a medium sized fitness model. I was in the same cycle of injury->rest+rehab->injury with oly lifting until I finally broke it and did something different. Best decision I ever made.

Duffin and McGill are doing some joint seminars over summer. Something worth looking into?
