...I don't get it?

Wasn't singling you out beata, I'm an equal opportunity hater. Self-loathing ranks highest ldo.

ok, I read that like:

SM: I don't mind if fatties out-lift me (implying fat dudes)
beata (pops in out of nowhere): i'm not a fat dude but i still out lift you trollololol

I may have gone one level too far.

Girls troll?

Besides, loco already said she outlifted us. Or at least out-DL us. Which is sadface enough ofc.

Loco mentions me (vanity search ftw) as the last part of his post - SM's responds with the first part of his post is about fatties. Sounds logical to me, lol.

People do actually do that?

lol this

i thought people put periods in peoples name as a joke, rather than because people actually search for themselves

lol i am a forum n00b and find it the easiest way to see if someone has responded to me.

Big name pros and women

2012-12-12

5/3/1 - cycle 5, week 2 - Squat

Squat
3x80 kg
3x90 kg
8x102.5 kg (226 lbs, 1RM estimate: 123 kg/271 lbs)

lol high rep squats. Takes some getting used to.


DB Flyes
3x13x16s


DL
A bunch of 60s and 80s then
5x100
3x100

Getting better, but form is still not stable. Felt like trying 100 to see if form deteriorated. It did a little bit, second set was better. Vid later.


RDL
3x10x80 kg

Not quite in BBB territory yet.


Abs
3x11 TRX fallouts to parallel w/2 sec pause at bottom


Pressed on Saturday, no log. Did 6x60 kg.

Getting fatter all the time. Om nom nom.

DL vid from Tuesday.

Looks better. Barely noticeable.

Think I'll start doing regular 5/3/1 DLs next week (still from plates though, and start out with easy weights), and keep speed DLs as assistance on squat day to get the requisite volum to cement/further improve form.

Also, go to the form check thread, some dude posted some dl vids and is doing what you were doing (but worse). Go tell him how to fix it.

Alright. For some reason I pretty much never read that thread.

Same. I pop in from time to time. Give some bad advice. Realize how bad I am at lifting and leave.

lol.

Ironically I gave way much more form feedback when everyone asked in the beginner thread.

Yeah, def looking better for sure. How does the whole DL setup and pull feel for you atm?

I have no idea how to tell if someone's lower back is rounding or not.

On another note, that guy in the background looks like he wants your ****.

Feels pretty good when I manage to keep my chest up and tighten up the upper back (lats in particular) properly, which happens more and more often.


lololol, probably my best friend (gf and kid, heh). He's prob just checking out my....form intently.

When I focus on tightening my upper back I actually feel soreness there the next day. Is this standard for DLs or am I doing it wrong guys?

I did do pullups too but I usually do those so IDK

SM - don't sell yourself short, that dude definitely wants a trip to the "relaxation zone" Snitch style. I think it's the most obvious reason for Snitch's shirtless video posting....he felt threatened and subconsciously knew he had to respond.

In seriousness, sounds like it's feeling more how it should be feeling. My back (rhomboid especially) - not lower - is always hammered after heavy DL days. And it's because getting truly tight and keeping things in place just requires a lot of stability keeping chest up/back straight. I think someone mentioned in the beginner thread once they've never felt anything the next day in their back after doing DLs and Cha basically said they were doing it wrong. I agree, .

I'm just gonna leave this gif here for the first paragraph:




And agree with the second.

That's often how people react when I soulread multiple situations and levels at once and combine it into a concise and expert conclusion.

Meeting him on Saturday will be pretty awkward now
