Wow! Absolutely awesome progress!I feel minuscule compared to some people here but progress is progress, just eating more and working out at home only..primarily body weight exercises.

The only thing I use the Smith for these days is shrugs, and pushup dropsets.
I only do shrugs in the Smith bc my gym has no standard box rack. Just those weird squat racks. The side bars that stop the bar when you fall during a squat aren't adjustable and I'm too short to shrug without hitting them. lol
To be honest it even makes me reluctant to do DLs sometimes. It's just a bitch to load up a BB on the floor even with cookies.

the girl i sent it to asked me to whisk her away. needless to say i felt used, like a piece of meat. i am a man, not something for her to oogle! this is why i need swole acceptance
I was doing my dumbbells routine about an hour ago. Someone called me, so I had to stop. Since I stopped short and I wasn't "feeling the burn" at all, I tried to resume the exercises some minutes ago, but shortly after picking the weights my left arm lost its strength. It didn't hurt, It just couldn't hold the dumbbell at all and I had to drop it.
It was very scary, never felt something similar before. My arm doens't hurt at all and I can type with it, but it still feels "funny". IS this a common occurrence or should I be worried?
Reposting because I need some opinions.I started having this problem a month ago: after some heavy high-bar back squats or deadlifts (mainly squats though), the area around the tailbone area starts hurting. It would go away after a minute or so. However when I bend over while on my knees to wash my hair, the same area would start to hurt as well. My friend suggested it was a [pilonidal] cyst because he had a similar experience. However it doesn't hurt when I sit like he experienced. I went to a doctor two Saturdays ago and he said it isn't a [pilonidal] cyst (there's no redness or swelling as far as I know) and it's probably the way I'm squatting that's aggravating the area.
Anyone had a similar experience or have any advice?

Should I take a few weeks off and do some rehab and maybe see another doctor about it? Based on a post on BB.com (I know, I know...but I don't have another "good" source regarding this issue with weightlifting) about it. I've been doing a good amount of SMR on my glutes with a lacrosse ball and a few more hip stretches the last two days.
So I have been dropping the fat and that is fantastic and all, but it still bothers me that my arm size is smaller than it was in December. From 18 cold flex to around 17.25. I know it is just the fat coming off but it still is annoying.

That's great progress there. I'm sort of mirin.I feel minuscule compared to some people here but progress is progress, just eating more and working out at home only..primarily body weight exercises.

Is it the bone that hurts or the muscles? I know when I was reaching my upper squat limits by lower back would be on fire and I'd have to take much longer rests. Sitting or standing it didn't matter it was just muscle exhaustion.
How heavy is the empty barbell on the bench press? I looked at it thoroughly to find the weight written on it but didn't see anything.. I feel embarrassed to work in on anyone else doing bench because at the moment I think I can only add 50lbs to it at the absolute maximum to lift, whereas everyone else adds 70-90lbs in their sets.
Not the muscles I think, I feel the discomfort the right side of the tailbone/coccyx: Link (SFW). My lower back is fine.
A standard Olympic bar should be 45lbs, which is most likely what yours are. There are exceptions though.How heavy is the empty barbell on the bench press?

A Standard Olympic barbell weighs 45lbs. I am currently only at 45lbs on each side. It's no big deal bro.
I add 20 on each side But hopefully I can keep progressing.

That feeling when you lose the fat in the areas it actually looks good. I miss my fat calves "(
Ahnold's back? Look at that bicep, gotdamn.
Switched to low bar squat a month ago using techniques I saw in some various YouTube videos and did 275-295-315 5-5-5 no problem today, not a twinge of pain outside of exhaustion. I saw really good warm up techniques from a polish bodybuilder and used them today and was able to get ATG no problem. Usually I can only do high bar and front squats ATG cus of tight calves and general lack of hip mobility but basically holding a goblet squat for like 30 seconds really helped to opening IP my hips.
In other news I upped my EC dose into the second-to-last building phase and it's 77 and humid here and I'm sweating like a motherfucker haha

Aren't you supposed to NOT go ATG if you lowbar? That's something more suited to highbar iirc, but everyone is different.
I think it's a matter of buttwink or not, really. In high bar since you drop straight down it doesn't really give the chance to have a butt wink which is why ATG is possible (also with the way the hips open up I guess). I think for low bar you go as far down as you can without butt wink (although I don't think having that is inherently bad) because after that you lose tightness and will have to compensate by using your back on the concentric movement.
In reality I didn't truly go "ATG" but I went past parallel which is a lot better than I have been in the past for low bar
Buttwink is certainly possible with highbar, Pat Mendes is notorious for it.
So does that kinda defeat the notion that buttwink is inherently bad?

Ah I see, I think the biggest issue with squatting atg lowbar is hamstring tightness being lost.
Yeah I can definitely understand that, especially considering hamstrings are extensors (I think) and when you're ATG your quads are completely flexed so it'd be hard to maintain that tension in the hamstrings so you can more efficiently propel up. That's probably why when you lose hamstring tension you overcompensate by using your back to go upwards, and if you aren't strong enough it'll turn your squat into a goodmorning
Jeez, you animal.
I don't think I have seen any photos of you before... What I have been missing! You are a proper beast. Damn sweetie, you look ridiculously sexy. Awesome work!
.
How'd you like it?
I'll be going later this year, any place to get a proper line/taper?
