It shouldn't! You're Fing strong!! Get used to it.
that's incredible man, congrats
Me too, man! Hitting that triple digit DB on flat bench was a big thing to me. I remember looking at guys doing over 100lb dumbbell bench the first time I walked in a gym and thinking "I'll never be able to do that."
dammit... yesterday I recorded video of my current squat PR again and my feet are still unstable..., they move like a cradle and in worst case, heel goes up.
I wonder if the squat shoes would make a difference, cause I believe it's not a matter of me getting ahead of myself with the weight, I have it in me to do 5x3 with 225 lbs, I can take on it but my feet won't stay put.
I wonder what's the best course of action here.
On the one side, breaking PRs and haveing less than perfect form is kind of expected so I could/should stay there and work on it. On the other side, deloading a bit would certainly help me be more in control of my movement at semi-high weigths.
what I noticed yesterday is that minor things make a difference. whenever I actively thought of opening my chest when I am down, ATG, the barbell was good and on the vertical and my feet would stay put. A wider stance (more space between feet) also helped a bit.
6 weeks left of my bulk.
Total bulk time= 7 months
Started weight= 77 KG
Expected ending weight= 87 Kg
How do I start a cut after that? Do I skip the gym and eat normally for 2 weeks and then start the cut? Meaning train normally but with added Hiit and eating less? Planning to cut for 3 months and hopefully lose 6 kg of fat
Great, thanks guys!
Guess I'll continue ironing out these kinks. I'll get it in due time.
Not a reg here but I just have a question.
Will this plan/schedule make me leaner or will I actually build muscle as I do this? I want to be strong and lean not just one or the other.

Updates. Currently at 163, trying to get up to 175 before I cut to play club football.
Not really concerned about my waist right now since my only goal is to put on as much mass as possible, I know fat gain is inevitable and I'll be doing a hard cut as I try to add explosiveness during the spring. I've been doing WSSB but I'm gonna switch to P.H.A.T. because it's a better hypertrophy routine.
Current stats:
Bench: 265x4 (haven't maxed in awhile but I'm gonna guess 295-300)
Squat: 365
Deadlift: Did 375 after doing working sets and failed halfway through 385 so I think it's far to say I'm at 385
Also, quick question: chest fat or gyno? I'm guessing the former but I'm not entirely sure.
So nice when people are just staring to wait for you to finish on the squat rack. I went as fast as I could and I could tell this girl was annoyed waiting. Then right before I'm done she says shes doing squats. I told her all you had to do was ask if you wanted to work in. Dunno why but am pretty annoyed about that. For reference, I was on week 2 of 5/3/1 BBB did warmups, 5/3/1 set, and finally volume.
Edit: Also I would have asked but I assume she was doing deads or somethin else hence why she was staring. Also she ended up working in with the other guy waiting lol.
At least you don't do curls in the squat rack.
People sometimes do that in my gym.
I try not to let my annoyance show on my face but I know it does.
It happens all the time at my gym. There's a calf raise machine they sit on and they just stare intently at you hoping you'll go away. It's like if you just ask I'll gladly let you work in. Sometimes I just straight up ask did you want to work in or something then they just say no and continue to stare lol.
I must admit that I have seen many a body weight exercise guy at the gym.
What's wrong with body weights exercises? I incorporate some in my circuit. (frog jumps, lunges, burpees) like 10 minutes of it. Now I'm nervous.
nothing. Its just stupid to hit the gym for a purely bodyweight routine.What's wrong with body weights exercises? I incorporate some in my circuit. (frog jumps, lunges, burpees) like 10 minutes of it. Now I'm nervous.

ok I agree. But giving them the benefit of the doubt, i'd say they have a small apartment.
less obnoxious than seeing some guy having a friend dribble a 10 lbs medicine ball on his abs while he does crunches. I laughed so much

Worked out with my gf tonight! Shoulders and legs! Work off the holiday fat!

My grip is officially insane (for me at this point) locked out 565 deadlift (new max with technique tweaks) then held it there for 10 seconds. Only put it back down because I remembered I had 3 more sets and pendlay rows left to do lol. Could have held it much longer. And now at the end of the day my hands forearms don't even feel bad.
Them farmer walks working magic.

So I got a pair of gym gloves as a Christmas present and I remember the OP not being all too hype on using gloves. Is it really unadvisable to use them?

Do you guys hear that? Yep, it's the sound of the Resolutionists preparing to arrive this coming week. Enjoy the last non-crowded weekend we'll have at the gym for the next month or two, FitGAF.

I've already seen a couple comments on Facebook like "new sneakers for Christmas can't wait to start working out again next week!"
My body is ready

Nice! Is farmer walks basically all you do for grip strength?
I need to start doing those, my left hand grip fails while my right hand succeeds and that shit will not fly anymore.
Are farmer walks just basically walking around with heavy dumbbells at your sides?
