LOL @ the irony of the gender shaming ITT. Will be the same females who instantly jump on and ridicule any male towards female condescension or erroneous use of the word "girl".0

Non platform best deadlift: 525 lbs.

Front squat: 315 lbs.
Push Press: 175 lbs.
Can't wait until I start lifting heavy.
Seriously impressive front squat number! What are your thoughts on the OHP vs. Push press? Any benefits of using one over the other?
we were actually just talking about this over in the "show me your X,Y Z video" thread- about how push press is really great for explosive lifting- I personally prefer it to strict OHP- but quite frankly- I need size right now- not explosive powers- so strict press for me.
sad panda face.
If my shoulders were healthier (non-lifting work-related injury) I'd be skipping OHP and PP for Military Behind the Neck. That was always my mass builder in the past.0 -

Body Stats: Male. 25. 5'10". 162 lbs. 13.6% bf.
Current Lifts (5x5): Bench Press-155. Squat-210. Row-125. DL-225. OHP-100
Body Goals: 185 lbs. 8% bf.
Strength Goals (5x5): Bench Press-225. Squat-315. Row-185. DL-400+. OHP-185.
If you're into working out, nutrition, goal-oriented, excited, and need/want more accountabilibuddies or just more MFP friends feel free to hit me up or add me!
Good for you. You're at a good starting place.
FYI - It looks like your DL and OHP are a little out of whack with the BP and Squat goals.
Thanks! How So (re: goals)?0 -

You could reasonably progress to your BP goal and possibly your squat goal in 12-18 months. Your DL and OHP goals require significantly more progression.0 -
love all these people bragging and putting you down, and trying to make it seem worse saying they are a girl. Really great attitude people. Anyways, good luck buddy, don't worry about braggers, they probably quarter squat.

This is the program I'm following. I've been running it for 4 weeks and like I mentioned in a previous response, my lifts were ridiculously low to begin with. Which edition are you running? I know the most recent one cuts out all accessory work while the 2nd edition includes chins, dips, planks, and push ups
No accessory work in mine. However, I am starting to incorporate a few things here and there after my sessions but I have no set schedule to add accessory work to the routine. Hhhmmmm...... perhaps I should create one. Wonder if it matters which ones I do?
My lifts are still low-Im in no hurry. I spent quite a few initial sessions with the empty bar. I am taking my time really perfecting each lift as I add more weight.0 -

I've competed in 4 figure comps and been training seriously for over 7 years not once have I even been close to those weights!!

Sure, but the intent behind him quoting it was a mystery. It sounded like he was bragging.
Nothing wrong with the stats and goals that he posted. Looked good to me. Also this is just about the most famous quote ever in bodybuilding. I can't believe some of the people here didn't get that.
Coleman is king!
I straight missed it- nothing in his post referenced it other than the quote- and quite frankly- its' rare you see straight bodybuilding stuff come up in the general forums- you'll see it more in the gaining section- so yeah- I definitely missed it. (also I'm more power than body- so- well why I love Coleman- it's not like he jumps into my head for famous quotes right off the bat)
but yeah- got it now- coleman- no one wants to do the work- they just want to look like it. check check. it happens. mai bad. <insert internet apology for my general snarky douchebaggery>
But that's what we love about you. Don't ever change. :flowerforyou:0 -

You do know that the people you are referring to are competitive powerlifters so they do not quarter squat

I'll admit it, I'm the quarter squatter she was referring too. But when I squat, I do four quarters at one time.0 -
Hahaha. You guys squat way more than I do (195 x5 on a very good day) but I wouldn't accuse anyone of cheating
@nakedraygun nice quarter squat in your profile picture0 -

No it is that they misinterpreted the op as bragging and didn't know that he wasn't. I thought he was bragging as I didn't recognize the quote and didn't clarify0
