Brian Burke punched my mom
All I ate was scrambled for years...urgh, it was a chore to swallow half the time and I smothered it in ketchup. Regular fried eggs I can swallow in one bite without a problem.
Milk and eggs are memorized, 70c/xl egg and 260c/500ml 2% milk. I have the cals/protein count on most shit memorized like chicken/beef/oats/fruits etc.
Yea I didn't think it would be that high but it's the damn toast. They were more of a treat since I haven't eaten them in a long time.
6x 140c toast (840c!!!) + 2TBSP butter (200c) = 1040c
500ml milk = 260c
4xL eggs = 280c
Cheese ~4cm cubed = 300c+
I also work construction so burning calories is fairly easy.

I didn't know this WR was so low.
Definitely shows a difference in "Raw" and "drug free" in comparison to geared lifting.

I'm actually amazed that it is that low.

Still no where near where I want to be, but significant progress:
Sorry for bad quality. These pictures are taken cold, no pump.
My back is looking pretty awesome, but it's hard to take a good picture.
I really need to go on another cut and lose maybe 5-7lbs, but I hate cutting. Just going to continue doing IF and eating my face off and see how it works out.

Sorry about that.
The lifters that aren't dicks, like myself, will actually help clean up after people. I get hella OCD when I'm lifting so I make sure everything is organized with the heavy weights on the inside and light weights on the outside. Distracts me in between sets. It's so bad, that the night crew waits till I leave to pick up because they know I'll do a chunk of their work for them.
If anything just, ya know, think of it as extra training.

If the weight tree is all jacked up, I ain't fixing it (some fucking clowns put barbell clips behind 3 sets of 45lb plates..... RAGE!). But I always put the weight back when I'm done.

Looking good. What's your height/weight?
I'm thinking of incorporating a cardio day into my routine. Wendler suggests only walking 30 minutes every day on the routine I'm doing now (a variation of 531 for bodybuilding), but damn, I just NEED to start running again. Will having a day of running every week really hurt my gains that much?

Thanks. I'm 5'11" and somewhere between 185-190lbs (seems to fluctuate every day).

I think this bothers me more than not reracking weights. It's actually more difficult to do things the stupid way than the right way.

This guy is seriously the most impressive all-around strength training athlete I've ever seen.
One-armed standing ab rolls with a weight vest on. Good god.

Exactly, which is why it's so frustrating. You're making it harder for everyone, including yourself if you do that shit.

Ok women, I hate having to deal with you coming into the gym smelling like you bathed in a perfume bath then sat in an aroma therapy sauna for 3 hours.
I think this federation differentiates itself because it's raw and "drug free."

Why do you black your face out?
I would just do the main lift at the deload percentage then 3 sets at half of what your last BBB was.
Today we took some pics with my GF to see what's the difference before & after my cut (which starts next week).
This picture from me flexing my back was probably the best of the bunch
Not bad!
Thanks. I was trying to do some sort of a lats/trap spread and managed this. I think the pic might be a bit flattering (gf says it's just me not seeing it myself) but I guess my traps are one of my best assets at the moment.
I want to emphasize that this is me flexing, I don't normally look that big walking around (yet)

Did 69kg 5-5-5 bench press today, that 5th rep in the last set was awkward; it took like 5 seconds, I was so determined to complete it lol. Probably should have rested a minute more before the last set.
Anyway Sunday's bench is going to be a red plate on each side, unbelievable.

for me
There's a lady at my gym that does this. Does she really think she has to hide her BO? I'd rather get a little whiff of that than a major whiff of perfume choking me out.
So seeing as I do bench 5/3/1 and OHP BBB on the same day, I'd do the recovery sets on bench, then since I do 80 lbs OHP BBB I'd just do 3 sets with 40lbs?
Almost sounds too easy. Lol

Yeah looks like you have nice traps. I have shit traps but pretty amazing (i think) delts.

Heh, so glad my gym has a "no perfume or cologne" rule to stop this exact sort of thing.

Deload is supposed to be easy.

IMO, big lats/traps is the sign of a true, hard lifter. One who is serious about the gym.
I think it is supposed to be easy. I actually just don't do compounds at all for that week. I think it is just to give your body a little rest. I still work hard in the gym that week but I focus on other things more like. on shoulder day i'll just do mostly db work. seated db shoulder press, db lateral raises, db reverse flys, upright rows, shrugs.
I don't deload every month though only when I feel like I need it. New week starts tomorrow though and I'm not sure yet but I think I might need it.
I am fail then lol
I'm definitely tempted to push forward but I keep hearing it hampers progress on 5/3/1 in this thread.
Fuck, and I thought I was nice for doing working sets of 3 plate weighted dips. Nice vid.
Good luck - I'm going for 70 too, tomorrow! Bench is so hard to advance in compared to the squat and deadlift.

Mine stick out the back of my shirts now, pretty substantially. People tend to ask how I've balanced my chest/back, and that means a shit ton to me since I have a barrel chest.
GOML FE FUCKING GOML
The template I'm on doesn't require deloads.
I'm still digging back from the squat losses I had during my cut though, this shit blows.

Haha. I wouldn't say that. I'm right there with you. It is hard for me to have big traps/lats. That doesn't mean I will be stopping though! You are putting the effort and soon, those results will show.
Just will take longer for someone like you and me
Exactly. I do the deload week every cycle because I really do feel like it helps my body recover while still staying active. I also mix things up that week as well. Try some different exercises and whatnot. Then if I like those accessory exercises, I will apply them to my next cycle of 5/3/1.
It must not be true though. I have poverty traps and i'm not sure if my lats are that good but I kill it in the gym.
Edit: just saw your response. My back in general is pretty big and wide I think just not my traps. I have always heard that big delts will impede trap growth but I never believed that especially when looking at professionals.
I would say Lats are more so than traps.

Hey FitnessGAF, I'm sure you get this kind of request all the time so I'll keep it short and to the point.
I've just joined my university's gym (fairly small and busy) with the aim of increasing my upper-body strength/endurance, and generally getting as fit as possible. I'd like to focus on arms, shoulders, chest, core-strength, and finally neck -- why neck? I race outdoor karts nationally, and I've got some single-seater tests lined up with the possibility of driving a full season next year in Formula Ford. My current physique is pretty skinny/athletic, but I've got no real amount of muscle anywhere. It's important that I don't gain too much weight though for obvious reasons.
I've read through the OP and I know I'm gonna get flamed for asking for help with a workout anyway, but I could do with at least a basic routine I can follow or a point in the right direction. In the past i've enjoyed sessions on the bike (eg. 20km), so I'd like to combine that kind of cardio activity with some weight training or something. I'm really lacking knowledge when it comes to balanced routines but I'm eager as fuck to learn.
Cheers!

I only wish my waist were more narrow so my v-taper could look that much better.
Ridiculous , but I was cringin when he was on the bench press and his bench was bending as he lifted the weight....and in the next few scenes you see a perfectly fine power rack
Why not work on total body strength and endurance, including legs?
Yeah I'm open to that, I was just listing the things that are important for me. My legs have always been a strong point as I used to run a lot, but I'd be happy to take on a full-body routine.

Why does anyone? Most people don't want half-naked pictures of themselves floating around the internet even if they're extremely handsome or beautiful.
But if you really want to see what I look like all you had to do was ask sweetheart.
This is picture is from this past weekend.
Yup I need a tan, winter in Chicago = no bueno. I look pretty in shape, but I want my traps, arms and chest busting out of my shirt!
The dude in the right most part of the picture is a personal trainer, you wouldn't really guess by looking at him with a shirt on, but he's insanely ripped he's got a visible 8pack without even flexing, definitely not scrawny either.
