I did dips out of those, along with skullcrushers, tricep pulldowns (v-bar) and kickbacks.. I included dips into each superset but didn't do weighted. The other 2 you listed I did earlier in the week, really need to improve on CGBP though.

If what I have is hip impingement/hip labrum, is there any serious risk if I push through it? I just don't want my hip to explode or something mid-squat. Also, any stretches, foam rolling, or light weight training I can do to improve it?
Thanks by the way.
There must be something wrong with me - I totally love lower body days and they make me feel like a beast, on upper body days I am just in pure agony with my baby weights (that still feel like they weight a ton) and just push them through because I know I need to (I admittedly love the after feel though).
I had a great day and the coming year better be injury free for a change.
Wooppedidoo!!!!
Congrats in advance! Hopefully you are planning to celebrate properly and will have epic cheat day as well.
And awwww, I am sorry to hear that. Good to hear that you are getting better though and hopefully have awesome work out this weekend!
And yep, my birthday was absolutely awesome - I ate a lot, played video games and watched movies. This weekend I will celebrate with my parents and next week I will have a party with my friends. I am kinda just mixing my graduating parties and my birthdays though but it is totally worth it.
No worries. I will reply you back on PM.
And that is a great idea
!
And I really, really want to see a leg pic from you some day!
Yay! Thank you. ^_^
Thanks.

Ooh, I remembered that you were born around the same time of the year as I was.
Congrats in advance! Hopefully you are planning to celebrate properly and will have epic cheat day as well. You are welcome even though the pleasure was totally mine - I always appreciate progress pics.
Thanks! ^_^

Thanks Sean!Happy birthday Sadetar! We gotta get an all fitgaf raid team going in destiny
And that is a great idea
- sounds like a smoking hot party to me
I don't know how you keep up with a schedule like that! You are a machine.
And I really, really want to see a leg pic from you some day!
Woo-hoo! Awesome, congrats!
Well, with all honesty you have a damn good reason to post those pics - you have come a long way and at least I totally love to see your cut results! You sexy beast, you.

damn dude looking good. them abs coming out to play.
Whoa! Nice arms you've got there. I remember a while back you said you had no bicep peaks, just chunks of mass. Not the case anymore!

All my lifts have stagnated on my seemingly perpetual cut but my OHP just keeps going up. Was able to put up 135lbx6. Dat duak manhole cover club. Feels awesome pushing up two 45s strict.
And happy belated, Sadetar! 🎉

Previously when I have lifted weights I have gained size pretty much everywhere except my core, and I eventually get a back injury and just stop.
I have decided to follow the stronglifts 5x5 routine.
I've recently decided to start again and have noticed that when I lift relatively light weights I can really feel my core working. Though I am capable of lifting much heavier, when I do my core ends up giving out and my lower back takes on all of the strain.
The only problem with lifting such light weights (I'm talking very light, as in 15kg for squats) with compound movements is that my arms, legs e.t.c are individually capable of lifting much heavier, but my core is holding all of it back. I've had to cut back on my calorie consumption as a consequence.
Progress seems to be slow right now because I am still getting used to actually engaging my core when I lift. I don't think I'll be able to increase the weight every workout as is recommended for the Stronglifts routine.
I hope it's all worth it in the end.

I had this problem when I first started lifting/squatting and it went eventually went away in a month or two without taking breaks from squatting. I started foam rolling soon after it began so that may have helped.

Yeah I will look into how to use my foam roller to try and improve this issue. Unfortunately, this isn't a case of an issue with a new squatter as I've been squatting fairly regularly since 2008.

No problem! Well, so from what I've read/been told, you will probably have some increased wear on your hip joint compared to someone who doesn't have these issues which may lead to some issues down the road.
Granted, you may not have actually done anything to cause this. Some people are born with imperfectly formed hip joints, so high impact sports (football, hockey, etc.) and heavy lifting just kind of exacerbate the wear/tear issue.
That said, even though your symptoms sound like what I've dealt with, you may want to just go see an orthopedic specialist to verify. It could be something, might be nothing. Everyone's body is different.

Also, i didn't even realize it till just now, but i'm now down exactly 120lbs. Started 343, now 223. If i had to guess i'd say im at 19% body fat or so. Getting so close. Going to go to 9-10%, i swear it!
Nah, just got my eye on the prize.

Sounds like proximal hip adductor tendinopathy. I had the same issue when I started weighted squats a few months ago. I had to put weighted squats on hold and eccentric hip adductor exercises daily to every other day for 6-8 weeks until symptoms fully resolved.

Circus dumbbell gains. Also, loaded my new sandbag over 62" bar a few times. That's nearly my height. Lol

Funny, three days of cycling, each day burning something in the order of 3,000 kcal... no way in hell I covered that in food intake, and yet... come back and I'm a full kg heavier than when I left.

Thanks bud, also, look out, I think you'll find a willing participant in sadetar for the princess saving.
and to think that's an L (or XL?), you are huuuge, haha
have you noticed the zelda crest begins to wear off after a while? yours is much newer so maybe it hasn't happened yet. Still, very comfortable, feels good..
as of now, my favorite shirt is this one, I bought it blindly from amazon just because I wanted to use my credit card and turned out to be the absolutely best. Perfect fit, color, everything is right about it.
I really need a new cel or camera. Most of my recent pics are blurry messes that could have been good shots,

Despite a shitty heavy day this week my volume squats are decent tonight, considering I dropped from 210>202lbs.
385/375/365/365/365x8 beltless and these were buried deep.

Join the club, I so know that feeling. After all these parties are over I have decided to have 100 clean days and see if that helps at all to the bloat and annoying belly fat. Will see what is the situation again after that.fuck belly fat, it's the worst when it seems like it'll never wear off
Awwww, thank you! ^_^Happy belated birthday, Sadetar
Congratulations! You are certainly entering a territory I will never go
I pretend I don't even want to
Yay! Thank you!
Hahah, bit late, but I still appreciate it so thank you!
Those dumbbells looks absurdy huge and the idea of you just casually lifting them and that sandbag just blew my mind. I honestly don't even fully realize how damn strong you are (referring to all the videos I have seen of you).
Oh I am a huge fan of Zelda series! I totally love that tank top as well! <3 Oh and also really sweet phone cover!
Oh, I am liking this discussion.
Especially the part where Cooter says something about going down...
And sure I have the crown, I just need to finnish that little assasination I have been planning.

Interesting.
It has me at 97% symmetry. Still just barely in novice strength levels, though.
Weakest lift is bench press at -5% and strongest are back squat and chin up at +2%.
I got 71%, said i need work on biceps/forarms, lats and rear delts. Everything else was above average. But these numbers are not my true maxes, since i'm just following the routine as a guideline, im not actually training to see what my true 1rm is. Once i'm ready to bulk, i'll have real 1RM's and will compare again. My forarms are pretty damn spiffy, i get told all the time how huge/defined they are.
The one piece of coconut cream cheesecake that survived, i threw in the freezer for about a week. Tried it out today and it was every bit as delicious as when i made it fresh. I'll likely not eat dairy again till my bulking, but good to know.
There is really never a good situation for junk food. You cannot out work a shit diet, unless you're on drugs.

Any good advice for exercises for helping my calves catch up to the rest of my body?

Good work man. That strong bulk has paid off.
If you can get baked wings it is whatever. Probably more important that you ate enough for the day.
Should really not be hard to get enough protein in. I have to stop myself from eating too much protein.
Frequency of training, calves develop from frequency. Source : ex fat guys with huge calves. Just find a step every day and knock out a bunch(150) raises on each leg. Important not to push from the outside of the foot, you want to be using the ball, and slow, controlled descent don't just let it drop.
Do that in addition to your Seated and Standing calve raises at the gym, which i usually throw on the end of leg day.

You can certainly out work a shit diet without drugs, just calorie count or expend more energy.
