Yeah, I do (if Neapolitan = Italian). The best I've had is at this place called Brick's in Hudson, WI. It has whatever certification is necessary to be fully legit.

I will admit I'm sure I ran suuuuuper bad at pizza in Italy but it was tilting to say the least.

Since USA#1 is, well, #1, I'm sure you guys rule that category as well

YES ALL HAIL TO THE KINGS OF THE WORLD

lol

Well done USA, well done.

looooooooolz

This one really cracked me up for some reason.
Superb.

Forgot to mention, my brother set a new DL WR on Saturday, 175 kg/385 lbs (@ 210 lbs/6'1"), while I struggled with 110 kg again. Fun times. I'm a bit suspicious of my mom, he's got long monkey arms that are prob 7-8 inches longer than mine and we don't look too alike. Hmmm...

lmaooooooo

Man, I say this all the time IRL due to that Simpsons episode.

Don't worry, I'm going after his #1 spot imo. I will avenge you, brohemian!

Well you guys are pretty similar, his press is also pretty crap Guess his squat is better than yours though (7x290 or so).

Ahhh, well yah, I'm still quite weak I'm just saying.....that kind of # seems at least within reach to my weakenized mind.

2012-08-18

Had planned to train tomorrow, but gonna pull a party two days in a row for the first time in ages so dragged my ass to the gym today despite being fairly hungover. +1 Willpower to me.


Bench
3x5x80 kg


Incline Press
1x72.5 kg
0x77.5 kg

1RM testing. Gonna set 77.5 kg as my max for 5/3/1 anyways.


Squat - volume
4x5x92.5 kg


Bro stuff
- Planks
- DB Flyes
- Curlz


Body weight yesterday: 82.8 kg/182.5 lbs (-0.2 kg). Didn't gain any more at least.

2012-08-21

A touch of hangover from pulling two nights in a row this weekend (plus a loooong night, wink wink).


5/3/1 + TM Squats - week 1

Outline earlier in log.


Intensity squats
1x5x102.5 kg (226 lbs)

Figured I'd start conservatively to have some room to grow even on a deficit.


Sumo DL - 5/3/1 week
5xsomething
3xsomething
6x95 kg

Figured I'd not move up to again have some room + squats before the DLs wouldn't help. I felt it a bit in my quads, but not really a problem at baby weights.


Back Extensions
3x8x BW+20 kg (with 2 sec pause at the top)

That pause makes these about twice as hard. FU parlay slow for introducing the idea.


Blast strap fallouts
3x7xBW + 2 sec pause at bottom

Straps very close to the floor (ceiling is super high). If you don't have a high ceiling this is basically not possible and makes the exercise infinitely harder. Gonna suck to go back to the other place come autumn.

pics or didn't happen ldo

lol

I'll be sure to snap some pics of my fallouts next time. I got you bro.

I like to see constant workout regimen changes while at a deficit or maintenance to really keep those wheels spinning. I practically invented it

lulzsikburn

lolque

I've basically been following RPT since last November. And unlike you I have no illusions* about progressing while deficiting - at least not when dieting down to 10-11%.

ETA: that sounded harsher than I wanted it to in response to a jopke-y post.

ETA2: I do expect my DL to get back to June levels though, so like +25 kg.

5/3/1 + TM Squats - week 1 - Bench day


Bench Press
5x57.5 kg
5x65 kg
11x72.5 kg (160 lbs, 1RM estimate: 92.5 kg/204 lbs)

Honestly I got tired, prob had another. The pumpz was just beginning though...


Incline Press
10x37.5 kg
10x45 kg
10x52.5 kg (116 lbs)

As per Wendler, no AMRAP on the assistance work. Fairly easy. Pump score: 5/10.


Weighted chins
6x BW + 5 kg
2x5x BW + 5 kg


DB Flyes
2x10x14 kg
11x12 kg


Curlz
10x12 kg
9x12 kg
8x10 kg

Mixed all of these up in a circuit, but not really (i.e. 1-2 min breaks in between). Pump score when finished: 8/10.

Holy ****, I'm clearly not used to all these reps. Kinda boring. Triceps pushdowns are in the program as well, but I really had nothing left and there's no way to do them at this location. Think those'll have to move to press day. We'll see.

Gotta talk to loco 'bout toughening you up for dat reps workout, son.

True dat. Paging loco. He would be happy with the workout scheme though.

5/3/1 + TM Squats - week 1 - Volume squat day


Volume squats
5x5x95 kg (210 lbs)

Did an extra set since RDLs were light today to avoid crippling DOMS. Went fine.


RDLs
Just 3 light sets due to above.


Back Extensions
2x8xBW +20 kg w/ 2 sec pause


Planks
3x60 secs BW + 20 kg

Fallouts only hit the lower abs, gotta hit the upper abs as well ldo.


Body Weight: 82.5 kg (181.8 lbs, -0.3 kg)

So pro at dieting I lose weight even when not trying. Diet starts monday, aiming for roughly 79 kg/174 lbs, true house cat size.
