What happens when you try to bench 760lbs.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.
But you know what's even greater? Being capable of lifting 52,5 Kg on the OHP when I weighed 87 AND currently 73. Gainz are remaining.
I think It's about time I buy a belt though. The higher in weight I get, the more necessary safety becomes.

My knee is so fucked from doing flooring for the past three months, urgh. Still got 365 5x8 beltless and deep though.
Might take a week+ off from squats and see how it feels after that... just as I was getting my strenf back

Week 2 at the Gym - Done. Leg day is fun but not so much two days later.
I feel like there are some days that I'm not really eating enough protein in relation to my weight so I consume protein bars. Are there any that you guys recommend? I've been trying the GNC Protein Bar Deluxe, as well as the Quest Bars, to reach my daily goal (GNC ones usually when it's a busy day and I need more calories+protein for the day).
Anyway, it's been a fun two weeks so far. I seriously need to fix my form though (cable workouts, especially). It's at the very least a lot more fun than cardio, although I did enjoy doing Insanity and T25.
Edit: Before anyone asks, yeah, I take Whey twice a day. I'm not entirely sure which is recommended (I've been using Syntha-6), but I'll check the first post for that. Didn't see anything about the bars there, though.

I can't remember the last time I've done one, I don't see the point, I just thought It'd be good to maybe stop him doing one everyday and worrying aha
That article is correct. I have one bia that says i'm 36% bf and one that says I'm over 20.
....Yet I have striations coming in on my shoulders, and a lot of vascularity and I'm in actuality like 14% right now.
Bodpod isn't too expensive if you NEED to know and there's one near you.
I'm not sure, I never did that but that sounds something like TKD keto.

Definitely not before. That would be dumb.
A mere 15g afterwards probably won't do much, either. If you're going to carb reefed and want the beneficial growth effects of insulin, definitely go a lot harder on the carbs *post* intense workout.

Hey guys,
I finally lost 15 kg / 33 lbs and weight 101 kg / 222 lbs after 6 months of exercising. I am stronger, faster and more handsome now, but the last exercising days were really hard.
After a leg day I hurted my lower back and the pain isn't still gone after 2 weeks. Appointment with the orthopedist is at the coming wednesday.
However, I continued to train without stressing my lower back, at least up till now, because I had my first accident at the bench with the barbell yesterday. I wanted to make another push after a new raise of weights and well the barbell wouldn't move anymore. Therefore i tried to get the barbell over my head and it worked out, even though my right eyebrow is a little bit swollen now.
I think I'll make a break for a week now.

That (burst blood vessel / torn muscle?) image is horrible. Makes me feel slightly sick.
There's an entry in that series for bodpod, and whilst it's significantly better than BIA, it's also not massively accurate on its own.

Damn... everybody in here makes losing 15 kg / 33 lbs sound so easy.
I so know it isn't so good for you. Absolutely splendid work!
My lower back is totally shitty atm. Good that you are taking a break till you know what the orhopedist will say. Better not make it worse.

Cheers.
Check out the video that I linked from a few posts above your post.
thanks Szu, but nopelol
I am pussy for fitness accidents and things gone wrong with the barbell.
it took me a while to "unsee" the crossfit girl deadlifting with the high heels...
OK, then I'll answer your questions. He tore his left pec muscle while attepting to bench press 716.5 lbs. The large bruise is cause by the internal bleeding from the tear.
As for why he's smiling, he's probably proud of his effort. It's also possible he's just a bit light-headed from lack of blood to his brain.

Thank you.
I know that many people say the same, but it was quite easy to burn the fat (retrospectively).
The discipline is truly everything and I had no weight loss for 2 months, because my work at the uni was too much.

Think my yoke is coming along nicely. Here's a pic of me and my son from vacation. Also, only seem to have lost about 5-10% of my maximal strength while taking the week off.
That is a nice line in there.Thank you.

Again, amazing work.Well, I have my master's degree studies and a job and my freelance stuff at the same time... I know those are no excuse, but for example this month I am working basicly 6 days a week and same time trying to write the disposition for the graduating thesis. Ah, life will be so much easier during summer when I have only one full-time job.
Oh and Brolic, looking good honey.

Had my first cheat day, today, in over 12+ months of strictly clean dieting. Feels odd allowing myself to side-step for once.
Chocolate. Chocolate everywhere.
Thats pretty awesome yo! Major, major props.
Darn you for being 2 lbs ahead!

It's insane how much better my body feels after the gym sometimes. Last week my hip was bothering me all day. Knocked out some deadlifts and BOOM hip feels good as new. A few days ago I started my second job as a physical therapist tech and so it was the first time in a while where I was on my feet all day walking around. When I was done I had this pain in my lower back that wrapped all the way around my core area. Was worried about going to the gym with that but once I was done with some squats in took care of all the pain.

12 months without a cheat day? Is that actually a good idea?

Honestly Im not sure if it would be considered a good initiative. It was relatively a clean diet. Why would it be bad?

I approve of this new Fitgaf trend to include our kids. Though, it's nothing new. I recall Cranky and Cooter sneaking in a few pics of their kids.
Brolic, you got a nice happy kid there.

I don't have the articles to hand on the subject, but it's mostly related to leptin levels, hormones and your metabolism. Only talking about a diet where you're in deficit long term though, not eating clean and bulking for instance.
I've done it both ways, had far better results with the odd cheat day though (feels massively counter-intuitive, but it worked).

Oh. These were deads. I thought you did squats! Well I did this workout but with squats instead lol. Except is was 5x385.
Little tip for all you heavy deadlifters and squatters.
So, we know that we want the bar to be square above center foot and we want our heels and toes to line up, correct?
But, something of a imbalance that people get overtime is the hip becomes slightly out of key. Those of you with good biomechanics can probably rotate your hip while keeping your shoulders and feet solid on the ground. So, how do we make sure that the hips are inline with our toes and the bar?
Right before you lift, squeeze your glutes. This will force your hips straight and then guarantee that as your descend/lift up everything is in a perfect straight line and we aren't applying any additional sheer to the knee.
Make sure you do this in yoga pants and eyeball the nearest gentlemen. You must assert your alpha to lift as properly as you can.
How do you control weight gain in exam season? Honestly...
I feel terrible with myself...felt bad about not revising as hard as I should have, so tried to get some work done. Did that, but ended up eating junk for lunch and dinner today.
Might do some penance cardio to mitigate the damage...

You don't eat shit.
You buy ONLY cans of chicken, steel cut oats, stevia, and almonds. That is your diet. It is cheep and won't make you a fat ass. If you need flavoring for the canned chicken, mustard is a good solution.
Is it miserable? Yes.
Will you hate yourself? Probably.
Will you get fat? No.
Also, no more beer. Straight liquor.

Canned chicken? What madness is this? Fresh chicken or nothing.
Unrelated, what's a steel cut oat?
Finally... it's quite possible to drink beer and not put on any weight. Just don't sink 10 bottles worth.

Don't really drink beer nowadays, so that's covered...but man, the rest of it sounds grim. What's stevia? A sweetener? And can I use fresh chicken?

Strong discipline will help with both as well, see Veezy's post for the TRUTH.
