Nap time recumbent cycle is my jam ...
Just watched Thrall's vid on the Romanian deadlift. I'd never been able to really get the stretch going on in my hamstrings until I watched it... and I have no idea what it is about the vid that did it, but I can repeat it easily now. Awesome.

I usually don't rest more than 2 minutes, except leg day. This weight is pushing it for me...
A little each day post workout won't hurt at all. A little though.
I try to stick to 3-5min for rest periods if I'm going heavy. Anything more than 5 and I feel like I have to get up and lift something.
Like...a cup....or..two....?
Bleh, brown rice. Never never never. I am a white rice household #TeamAsia #Korea
Can you eat brown rice instead? Big difference in the Glycemic Load between them, like 2.5x

You're also a beast of a man who's biceps are bigger than most human beings' waistline...
Finally forced myself to try and go to the gym in the AM instead of PM. Got everything ready the day before, was up at 6:15, lifting by 6:40, then back at my house to shower at 8 and leave for work at 8:20. I think I vastly prefer this schedule if I can consistently force myself to get up so early.
What gym do you go to?Morning is vastly superior. The gym is a ghost town and afterwards you can be satisfied that you have already worked out and don't have to do anything later in the day.
I get up at 5:13 AM. I'm at the gym just after 6AM and out after 7AM. Then I'm at work around 7:30AM.
Even if he drops dead at 55 he will have lived swole and full of gummy bears.
I agree. I much prefer that schedule (although I can't lift the same weight that early)
Really? Interesting. I didn't notice any drop in my strength today, but I chugged a cup of coffee before hitting the weights.
I've instructed my girlfriend (whom gets up at a little after six to get ready for work) to brow beat me to get up at 6:15 to force me to get on this schedule.
Yeah, it's probably just me but I just can't go as heavy at that time of day...lighter sets were fine but (approaching) PR sets were way harder.
What gym do you go to?
My gym is packed by 430AM and stays that way until about 11AM. Then picks up again after 3PM and is packed until 2AM.
The only ghost town hours are 2AM-430AM and 11AM to 3PM, lol. I literally have been at my gym at every possible time, it's kinda crazy. I need a new gym.

Yep, I love it. Sometimes I'm there as early as 5:30.Nothing like going to my gym at 6 am and looking at how empty it is. I love mornings during the week and then on the weekend I tend to go a little bit later.
Weighed in about 140lb
DL 2 reps at 255lb
Woooo!
Finished up my 7th 531 1s week with DL last night. Hit another DL PR, but it was tough. Did 230x5, 260x3, 290x3, 305x1, and 320x1 (PR) @ 144 lbs BW. Took a shit ton out of me lol.
Flying down to Tampa today to spend the next 5 days visiting my good college bud. All rest, beach, and good food coming up. Prob gonna gain 8-10 lbs by the time I leave lol.
Good for you man...3X bodyweight comin' right up.
And this is the only place im really even comfortable talking about lifting due to my size. Skinny guys talking about lifting openly tend to set themselves up for jokes/comments. Annoying, but that's how it goes.I'm so glad I'm not the only ultra lightweight fucker here.
Get outta here with this nonsense. No one ever asks you if you lift. Not buying it.And this is the only place im really even comfortable talking about lifting due to my size. Skinny guys talking about lifting openly tend to set themselves up for jokes/comments. Annoying, but that's how it goes.
"YOU lift?!"
Ugh...lol
I've tried joining in on conversations with the guys here at work that lift. They had some pretty crappy remarks/questions to send my way.Get outta here with this nonsense. No one ever asks you if you lift. Not buying it.
Next time lift up your shirt and walk away.I've tried joining in on conversations with the guys here at work that lift. They had some pretty crappy remarks/questions to send my way.
Is there a point where breaks between sets become "cheating" of sorts? I need 3+ min between these squat sets, but saying I did 5x5 seems like a bit of BS having taken such long breaks (up to 5 min).

I wear business casual attire for work. Couldn't look any more average when I'm dressed.

Yeah, you need to get on that slim fit game for your dress shirts and dress pants (if possible). Don't be wearing the shirt tents that most people do in business casual environments.
