Seems a bit excessive to me too. And what's with the extra lifting day on tuesday? That makes is three lifting days in a row.
Dude. This is insane. Seriously impressive cooter. I can't believe how you have virtually no swing at all, just solid control. Damn son.
Very true, but if your goal is to look hot and be fit throughout your normal everyday life, I wouldn't worry about getting to competition bodyfat levels or comparing yourself to those women. Bodybuilding competitions are about showcasing the musculature of a person (size, symmetry, definition, etc) rather than beauty.
I'm using some shitty sleeves from Walmart pharmacy. They don't offer a ton of support, mainly just keep my knees warm and then some light support. Proper knee sleeves then?
So I left my gloves in my car which is currently being worked at the repair shop so the past few days I've been lifting without them. And goddamn, the dumbbells are killing my precious little hands. I had to stop doing some exercises because of the redness and uncomfortableness. Is this normal? I don't want to lose my Constanza-esque hands...

Sounds like you should be a hand model.
I use a lot of dumbbell work and I don't have issues, I also work a weenie job in an office so it's not like you can strike a match in the palm of my hand. Dunno what's up with yours unless yknow...you should be a hand model.
Which exercises in particular are shredding your hands?
Remember from Of Mice and Men how Curly always wore one glove filled with vaseline to keep his hand soft for his lady?
To be fair, I had to stop at the end of my routine. I had already done bicep curls, front arm raises, seated shoulder presses, shrugs, and forearm curls with little problem but increasing aggravation. By the time I got to the single arm rows my hands had had enough.
Yep. Same for me.
I've noticed that all the heavy compound lifting does nothing for the skin in my hands. No callouses whatsoever.
Meanwhile curls and other "crap" do give my callouses
Not even deadlifts? :l
That's how it's pronounced
Not really, no. I keep the bar so low in my hands that it can't go any lower.

I only get callouses from chin/pull-ups.
Wow...I always read it in my mind as HYPER-TROPHY

Man, I'm still not in ketosis again since carb nite on saturday. This is seriously bumming me out, and I think I'll dump carb nite since I'm not back and still have a little weight to lose. I've been super strict with my diet too. I got really sick last night at 2am and figured I was back on keto but the sticks say no. :/ Bummed out.
That's how it should be, damnit. Like a trophy that you get for being hyper!
How do you know?

No? Then I'm not so bummed out. My last keto stint lasted for about 3 months and I'd check the sticks once a week to make sure of it or whenever I made a decision I wasn't confident about dietwise. I'm sure I'm on the cusp of it, but I was disheartened by not snapping back into it in a day, but knowing it isn't particularly accurate helps my soul a bit.
Shit, this makes me feel better too.
That's a lot closer than you think to the truth
Andy, I'm of the philosophy buy it once and be done with it. Get yourself some nice rehband knee sleeves.

I read 5/3/1 today. I really enjoyed it and I love Wendlers philosophy and attitude. Stop over thinking it, just do it. Excited to start in 4 weeks.

P.S There was only one left because of MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Ordered 2 more pair.
Fuckin' baller ass shit.
I thought it was hyper-trophy
I thought that until I heard Layne say it on the podcast last week.

I refuse to say it like he's saying it. It sounds like he's having a stroke as he says it.

From someone that was on keto for a year, they are totally not accurate. If you are fat adapted and if you are drinking enough water, it might not show. When I first started keto those bitches would be purple, but as my body got used to burning the ketones for fuel instead of pissing them out, they never worked. Plus I drink a lot of water.
Hyper-Trophy crew checking in. It just sounds dumb the other way

Excellent. My day has been salvaged by fit-gaf. NO MORE TEARS OVER THE STRIP
Also been hitting the gym harder the past couple weeks, so it stands to reason they're getting eaten instead of pissed. Thanks for the insights, everyone!

Side note, if you guys wanna know how to build monster traps, go to Prison. Even the guys who don't even work out have fucking traps. It's unreal. Also, these guys respect people who lift. Dudes come up to me all the time trying to talk training stuff.
Sometimes I really wanna get into a conversation, but I keep that shit to a minimum. I bet there's some stuff I could actually learn from these bigger guys.

What are they doing to work their traps?

Fuck if I know, I keep the socialization between me and them to a minimum, especially in my rookie year.
That's entirely possible. Keeping that scapula up to protect the neck from stabbins and all.
Fair. I'll just assume it comes from having the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Do you pronounce it A-TROPHY as well?
saying muscle A-TRUH-FEE comes out much better imo.

Dat time under tension.
It's possible, the first thing they mentioned about me was my shoulders and chest. All they ever ask is "how much you bench" it's very much "bro centric" but I guess it's a culture that would have to be.
That's a shit-ton of volume.
You don't tell us anything about what you're trying to accomplish, but this looks like a pretty poorly designed routine.
That's a lot of work and I prefer to go down in reps and up in weight every set but that will work if you get enough rest and eat correctly.
Cooter you are a genetic freak you can't advise we regular folks.
