Very impressive.
Thanks, it helps that I actually work now so I can afford all the food I need.
It gets easier. Soon, she be able to sleep longer through the night. I was also doing the 2-3 day schedule too, but I was all over the place.
My mom has been helping with my baby, so that does free up time for me. But even with the extra time, I still try to get out of the gym as quickly as possible to get home and help with the baby.
Great work!!
That's an ingenious idea to use the mirrors to get a front and back shot. Why didn't I ever think of that?

Thanks, I have no back so I didn't think of that either.
17 inches. Measured them about 3 weeks ago. I expect them to shrink some now though.

they look fantastic as I am mad jelly, you got a solid peak going and they are already popping, just wait till you drop bf%
Having to keep your back straight with a heavy barbell hanging from your arms can become challenging after a couple of sets. It's just an unnatural position, really.
Perhaps they are not for me.
Holy hell, you're right. Just re-watched it and I'm way too low.
Thanks! Just rewatched the Rippletoe video and I'm completely too low.

Eh, I'm not paying for it, and it makes me look injured at work so I can get away with wearing sneakers instead of heels

No, it's bad. It's damn near go to the doctor for relaxers bad. I'm massaging, icing, stretching as much as I can. As well as trying to walk.
I was having a great day. Worked up to 260lbs front squat for 5 no belt.
http://youtu.be/zH3MhgLU2iU
Felt great. Moved on to deadlifts and felt awesome. Knocked out 465 x 5 no belt easy.
http://youtu.be/T9KaUHm49b0
After that, moved to do 405 x 10 deadlift. No straps no belt. Just me. Felt great wasn't even hard, I was speeding through it, and that was the problem. I got careless and was going too quick. (These weren't bounced either btw) on rep 8 at near lockout my back popped and instantly I went down. I was damn near crippled. Gathered my shit and drove home in severe pain. Icing it resting it for 2 hours. Now I'm sitting on a hard kitchen chair and getting up and walking and stretching as I can. I think I may be okay. At least I can move. But every once in a while there's a debilitating spasm of pain.
We will see.

Thanks bud.
I'll definitely come back and get stronger, it's what always happens. I'm not concerned, just very uncomfortable.
Hope you get some nice rest and heal up. Unlike your deadlifts, I'm sure you'll bounce back from this.

Really though, wish you the best man, get better soon.

Get well soon Brolic. Hope your back isn't too injured

He was last posting i the Ferguson Grand Jury won't indict Officer Wilson for killing Michael Brown thread, I didn't see him say anything I thought was bannable, but perhaps someone complained
Hit the gym for my body weight day, got 4x5 on dips, 3x5 on pull ups and 3x4 on chin ups. This is with me weighing in at 250lbs. Holiday schedule has thrown off my sleep which has thrown off my eating, which has obviously thrown off my weight loss. I'm not gaining a pound no matter how much I eat on keto, but losing is still so difficult for me. Need everything firing on all cylinders or it just doesn't happen.
Still, just glad to have been in the gym and got stuff done. Really love going so much.
Sometimes, rarely, mods will delete a post if it's too offensive. Doubt it happened to brolic but who knows. I just hope he recovers quick and also gets unbanned quick.

This is the darkest timeline, Brolic hurt and banned. I hope he's going to recuperate with some video games. Get well soon brother.
man that sucks. i'm lucky to never have had a serious injury (weightlifting related). the closest i came was tweaking my back on a set of 315 squatting. only hurt for a couple days and then went right back and maxed at 375, so I was very lucky.
take it easy brolic and don't rush back my man.

Switched over from squat cleans to power cleans. Holy shit I'm tired.
don't you go lower on squat cleans when you catch the bar? how are you more tired from power cleans?
BlueTsunami
there is joy in sucking dick
Did 3x5 Deadlifts, and 5x10 weighted lunges, leg curls, calf raises, and Romanian deadlifts. Definitely progressing with Wendler 531.

Not sure. Maybe power cleans utilize the upper body more since you catch it differently? Maybe its because I hadn't done it that way in a long time? Either way I am sore.
Fair enough. Probably the latter. I just got out of the gym after almost two months off. Just working on getting my strength back up so I'm doing a few weeks of starting strength. Squatted 275 3x5 and benched 185 3x5. Both lifts were easy. Would have gone for a 1x5 deadlift at 315 but I felt like shit. As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot I had to run into the quiktrip bathroom and puke lol.
Nothing a hot dog and chocolate milk won't cure. But its time to get back on the gains train, so no more (read: Less) junk food haha. So hyped. But gonna be so sore tomorrow...

So I'm visibly starting to put on muscle, which is cool... but I'm also getting fat... which isn't. Oh well, just two more mountain biking events before the new year and then at least I don't have to worry about my weight for a while.
Just wont look as gorgeous as I'm used to looking!

wear tank tops if you haven't yet. that will give you confidence,
we put a bit of weight around the belly and lower back but the chest, shoulder, trap and arm area looks cool... until summer. At that point, we are just fatasses so is cut time lol

The fuck is happening :/ Ohhthegore too? I know people were looking at Brolic in the Ferguson thread like Manos in Occupy Wall Street, but what's OTG up to?
It was a post in the Michael Brown thread. He posted a link from a co worker that he didn't realize wasn't legit and got banned for that.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=140433121&postcount=6216
And admitted he made a mistake 10 minutes later
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=140434021&postcount=6237
So thats the permaban.

Chest today. Have been on a strength plateau for about a month. Decided to watch some videos to fix my form. Found that I was not squeezing my shoulders together after retracting the scapula. I also decided to squeeze the fuck out of the bar this time around. Was very surprised by how easy it was to move the weight around. I was able to PR on the Incline and Flat Bench Press. Feels good man.
Sounds like the pop was either a torn tendon or strained muscle, sincerely doubt it's anything permanant. edit- yikes just realized the ban. Rough he seemed like he knew his stuff and was very big part of what made this thread active.
Anyways guys got the ON creatine as suggested, but one problem... it gives me terrible stomach pains. I don't even get to relieve that by going to the bathroom, although it always feels like I'm going to explode lol sorry if that's graphic.

Its always the little things. I tweaked my OHP a couple of weeks ago and feel so much stronger, no more shoulder pain. I think doing a complete form tear down every so often really does help.
