10/12/14 Went to the oval after work and did 10 sprints of around 40-50m. Felt my right psoas being quite tight. 11/12/14 Terrible night sleep and my right glute med/piriformis was crazy tight. Sprint related I believe. (don’t do that before sumo’s again) Sumo 200*2*2 (was meant to be 210 but felt terrible) Conventional DL…

thanks mate :)

That actually looks pretty good. Only thing I'd say is that if you do flat bench, do an incline fly and vice versa. No real need to do flat and incline bench on same day IMO. I know SL is only 1x5 for deadlifts but frequency is key IMO. Do your top set and then do some back off sets after at about 80%. 3 sets of 5 or so.…

My comp total of 550 at 80kg is 375 wilks. New deadlift PB 250kg http://youtu.be/oLaWfDDmadU Did it a week later also with a miss loaded bar LOL. Hoping for 260kg by the end of the year as all is feeling good with the deads lately and I'm training them very frequently. (can't do much else)

Think I might do some cardio today. Sprints on the oval.

shake weight? The wrist curls will strengthen your forearm flexors but unsure if that will actually help with the wrist joint. My partner has hypermobile joints and she just wears wrist wraps for bench, OHP and low bar squats. Seems to be all good that way.

I'd recommend full body 3x a week with the extra info. Something like A Squat, Bench, Rows, RDL's(optional abs) B Deadlift, OHP, Chinup, front squat (optional arm isolation) 3*8-10 for all except Deadlifts, I only like to go to 5 reps max. Alternatively, Squat chinup bench row RDL chinup 3x8. Up weight when you make sets…

stress. For the time spent enjoying food consumption, nothing else to think about. First step is admitting it and then you are right that you need to get to the cause as opposed to just not buying the foods you overeat.

I like turtles

dat dere insulin spike will get you every time

I'd like to think I'm pretty accurate. :)

Another late update. Crazy busy moving but basically all done now. Fri/Sat moved about a million boxes down stairs, into garage, into cars, into new unit haha. Lots of calories burnt. Moved right next to Eat street markets. Lots of calories replenished. CBF with food pics lately but just trust me that there was plenty of…

Only read first page so apologies if this has been answered. Typically, you can reduce volume by 2/3 of what you would require to gain LBM in a maintenance phase. Re OP: All exercise is catabolic in nature, some exercise promotes muscle protein synthesis (strength training) some exercise doesn't (LISS cardio). If it does,…

short term 260kg deadlift continue my recent success at eating competitions

you will be fine. You may grow massive mussels overnight though. Be careful.

pop tart nutella sandwich GF donated half of her chicken/avo pizza to me :) for cutting weight pumpkin protein cake bulgogi stir fry apparently this is called a summer roll chicken/bacon stir fry first food after weigh in (plus 3L of hydralite!) hoisin stir fry

Slow updates again as crazy busy with packing for the move to Brisbane tomorrow. Still fitting in the training (just). Sunday was deadlift for dosh comp. Came 2nd on wilks with 250 at 80.9kg. I reckon I probably had another 5kg in me. 3hr weigh in too. http://youtu.be/oLaWfDDmadU Also won the axle deadlift comp with 7 reps…

I'm no expert on diverticulitis but from what I understand lowering the fibre to make it easier to break down is typically suggested. Just be careful with what sorts of veggies you eat basically. I know things like pumpkin skins are a big no no.

deadlift slippers? Mofo's know you are hardcore if you wear them :stuck_out_tongue:

Looking up while squatting is dumb. Chances are you can get some lumber extension happening which means that the RA and obliques are going to be lengthened and therefore not as tight as possible. Neutral neck position should be the goal. Look up Eric Cressey's article on packing the chin (double chin cue).

prancersize. nah, picking things up and putting them down again.

I squat in Olympic shoes now. (Australian brand) Deadlifts are always done in flat soled canvas shoes. Don't need anything fancy at all, just a thin flat sole that grips and lightweight.

3. Like all powerlifting comps. Clearly.

225x2 is my max at 181lbs. Weak as piss for some reason. Are we talking full ROM to chest here BTW not lockout practice 1/4 reps? :stuck_out_tongue: Well done on the 9 reps OP. Strong.

lifting heavy things frequently

with the amount of info given, I'm guessing it is fat

This guy and his 326kg bench suggest otherwise. (granted there is plenty of muscle and the fat) I have no idea what you mean by "the muscle will burn the fat"?

Yep, definitely this. You just have to BELIEVE that you can gain weight and you can do it. Don't even worry about eating, calories are a myth. May as well stop training too while you are at it.

that bacon weave is a thing of beauty. I would say that is art not porn.
