I'm not sure, broski. My squats stalled and I eventually just deloaded to 80% of what I had stalled at and built back up by mercilessly adding 10 lbs per session. It worked for me, try that. ( My deads, bench, and mil press all advanced while my squats stalled, for the record. )

I remember when I started hitting my woman. Anywho, on my end it's gotten much better. Now that people can see this isn't a "phase," they stop busting balls. I went from not caring to being a health nut, so I can understand that they thought it would only last a week. Anyone else see this happen? That people become more…

But the powerlifts are fun. Eh, I guess I'll consider adding in some push-pull ****. I'm a little over a month into lifting again and I'm already extremely pleased with what SS has done for my traps and delts. (arms look like ****, however, but even in my prime my arms looked like ****.)

So you think 1x5 will be enough? And when I say break form I don't actually mean that I start cat-backing it, but rather when I rest the weight down [no drop-box at Gold] that I feel that my back is starting to curve. I'm pretty paranoid about form. And I means 3 sets of 5 reps for cleans. Typo. So my take-away from this…

I read the sticky (probably 6 times in the past 2 months) and then I read Rippetoe's book. Per the sticky: << Workout A 3x5 Squat 3x5 Bench Press 1x5 Deadlift 2x5-8 dips (only add weight if you are doing >10 bodyweight dips) Workout B 3x5 Squat 3x5 Standing military press 3x5 Pendlay Rows (or power cleans for 5x3, 5 sets…

My fiancee is driving me ****ing nuts. She is recovering from a shoulder injury/surgery, so she dropped muscle, but she still has low bodyfat, and before the injury was quite muscular. You would think that she would be supportive, but no. She busts my balls about how hardcore I've become regarding lifting and eating. She…

I assume you're a German, or are you another nationality in Germany?

I am just trying to make sure that my body is never short on energy nor protein. I figure that way I can spare muscle. I have been bulking for a month or so, but I'm going to transition into cutting with strength training for maintenance of muscle. There is no chance that I'm doing things optimally, but the results have…

Hello all. So I was looking through old photos and was just generally unhappy with the direction that my body was going. They opened a gym within a 2 minute walk from my office, so I've become quite addicted. I'm about 6'3"/6'4" depending on which ruler you trust. I'm 215 at the moment, not sure of bodyfat, will measure…

**** the real world. People wanna brag in real life, but when you're just an annon you have no reason to lie to people.

Why don't we have a split image of before and after of a fitizen who made it? Let's be honest, behind all of the ball-busting, /fit/ is quite supportive.
