I cant even get a single chin or pull up. Life no longer has meaning. Im going to go drown down protein now.

I was the same not long ago. Started with lat pull downs and machine assisted pull ups. Usually 3x5 or 6 reps and always increasing the weight. Also losing weight helped a lot. Keep at it and you will get it eventually.

Yeah this is going to sound stupid but ive been avoiding negative pull ups as I find it a little embarrassing climbing up... will go with the assisted and pull downs.
You could always jump up like the Crossfit people do. ;p

yep, kip your problems away
Being able to OHP your body weight is impressive (well all your lifts are impressive actually). I'm about 172 pounds right now and can do a 1 rep max of 140 OHP on a good day. Hopefully I can increase my OHP and continue dropping weight.

gym got nicer squat racks. awesome
Thanks Tater. I remember working on your routine with you years ago. It had to be OT3 or OT4. Really happy you're still at it. Your progress has been fantastic.
Man, bench proves to be such a bitch for me, particularly doing a complete ROM press. For whatever reason that last inch between touching my chest and hovering just above it is incredibly difficult for me. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking of just saying screw it and doing bench at not the full ROM so I can continue pressing in some fashion. Yes, I am eating and sleeping enough doing a 3x5. (I'm 5'8'' 175lb)
EDIT: A few months ago my girlfriend's dad thought it was funny that I lifted, because I don't really look like it. I saw him again last weekend and both of her parents told her that I had definitely gained weight, in a good way. So that's cool.

238lbs just now. 7 more to go in 5 weeks. Should be fine as long as no issues arise. Hoping to avoid having to do water manipulation the last day.
Deadlift today, so I finally get to eat this peanut butter gooey butter cake too. Lol.

Gooey butter cake is a STL thing. It's basically cheese cake. Now throw in butter fingers, Reese's peanutbutter cups and peanutbutter n

That's a great sign of quality though, there's a few sites like that I like to browse. They all make me visit once per day and leave in disappointment when there's no new article.
Let me tell you guys right now that you're both enemies of cuts. Really stirring up my cravings today, and it's a rest day so I can't do much about it lol.

The funny thing about this is I'm cutting too, just not much. Lol.
I'm fat because I'm strong...... And I'm strong because I'm fat, it's a vicious cycle.

That looks like it's in the same vein as rum cake. Looks great.
Brazilian food is some of my favorite. If you can get her to cook that stuff all the time, I'm jealous. Though it's probably a struggle staying in shape haha.

It's okay lol. Just teasing for the most part. I'm the type of person who can focus more under that kind of pressure. Also probably partially a masochist, which explains why I like Souls games. =|
I will feel better after 16 oz of sirloin tip roast! (sort of)

Just did leg day, on my birthday. I hate leg day, and now I hate my birthday.
Nearly threw up again at the end of it. Still, the reason I worked out is so I can go full calorie / carb madness afterwards, and my missus is making me delicious cakes, so all good.
TRY STOPPING ME PUTTING ON WEIGHT NOW, YOU STUPID METABOLISM.

I'm up to 3x3 @ 190 on OHP as well. I'm on par with one of Cooter's lifts? Have I reached the promised land?
I don't know what it's called, but we know several Brazilian families and when I had food there I was so happy. One time they made our family a huge aluminum pan full of what I call Brazilian rice and chicken. I'm sure there's a term for it, but it's a shit ton of rice, shredded chicken, cheese, raisins, garlic, salt, some green olives, and some other vegetables. The cheese, garlic, rice and chicken is a great combination and I can slam multiple plates of it.
Also, how they season their steaks is great. Basically, a ton of garlic and salt in everything they make.
Galinhada??

garlic is so good
same with onions

Happy birthday psycho!
I really didn't want to go to the gym today. Felt like I was going to waste my time after reading everyone talking about deloads lol, but I went anyway and had an amazing workout and felt effing terrific after.
Done working out for the week. Easter Sunday is all you can eat lobster tails, king crab legs, rack of lamb and butter. Then it's the strictest cut till I get dat flat stomach. No more stops along the way.

Chopped garlic, chopped onions and cumin seeds are just the best, with anything.

NIce. I assume this just targets less muscles than a deadlift? Or does it hit some muscles that deadlifts don't - never done this before.
Brolic Gaoler

Works more strongman centric stuff. A lot of pulls are from a higher position. Also, for regular deadlift it allows you to overload the lockout and work lockout. That's where I'm weakest.
Plus I guess it wouldn't fry your nervous system as much! I get recovery issues if I do lots of heavy full deadlifts, but find that doing partials isn't as bad.
Was tracking my calories on myfitnesspal and I finally realized how I got fat. well I knew before but now in numbers! So yeah, I was like I don;t eat much! Small breakfast (oats etc), then I decided to eat some chips and chocolate, later went on to gym and drank whey, later went out few beers, mcdonalds after all that and it all summed up to around 3500 calories. f m l lol
Fuck it, happened once but realized how easy it is and how before I used to do that every other day, fuck man, good thing I never got too fat :| screwed up a bit today too because I went to movies and had some nachos but still close to maintenance calories so it's ok but not good. Back to usual tomorrow, gonna drop my deficit a bit to hopefully offset these 2 days a bit.

Does this count as a pistol squat?

Either way, it's the first time I've been able to raise myself up unassisted. I can only do it with the right leg for now. Left, I still fall flat on my rear. Any form/technique/practice tips?

OMG, the blessing of Mr. Gaoler himself! Seriously, you've made my day.
Lol, you're silly. The best one to ask on this would be MJFrancis, but I haven't seen him for a long ass time. Looks legit to me though.

Yeah, that's not bad at all. I tend to go with a bit straighter leg, but that took a while to do as it puts a lot of strain on your quad. All in all, solid as a rock, you make it look easy.
As for the other leg, your best bet is having something next to you so you can support yourself on the way down, that, or holding on to something in front of you. Some good advice here: http://www.startbodyweight.com/p/squat-progression.html
I'm trying to do shrimp squats now, but it's taking some time as I'm only doing bodyweight once every 10 days.
Unrelated, my birthday cake was 815kcal a slice. No problem hitting my targets today. lol

Which reminds me. There's a car I walk by daily on my walks that has a sticker that says "I <3 cooter." Need to get a pic of it without seeming like a creep.
