Agreed crunches suck, someone posted a body weight exercise thing a few pages back.
Mine was just a strain like I suspected. Got some medicine and a few days off work. Time to write my thesis!
I think this happened because my muscles were still fatigued from the kettlebell HIIT I did on monday. Should've maybe used less weight on the RDL but when you are cutting, dropping weight, even for a one workout, is a scary thought.
Dunno, the weight I use with RDL's is 220lbs and it's starting to get heavy because you have to walk it out of the rack. Increases the risk of something happening.

Taking the day off greasing the groove. 150 pushups and 80 pullups is more than I can handle today. Feel really worn from the weights yesterday.
Will still be doing my two hours on the turbo trainer though.

CNS fatigue is a crock. Don't let anyone sell you supplements to fix a made up, fucking bullshit condition. Nothing but snake oil.
That sounded harsh, I do hope you're feeling better and back at it soon though!

Look, I explained that I don't know what the actual pathology is and I even said I wasn't ready to say that L-Tyrosine was the answer.
But something is giving me hangover-like symptoms specifically the morning after squats. It's not like I don't work hard on my other days, and it's not dehydration.
So you can say that it doesn't have anything to do with my nervous system and that's fine, but this happens to a lot of people and it is not made up. If you're so fucking smart why don't you tell me what it is that's causing it, since it seems to be a fairly common occurrence and you're a neuromyologist and whatnot.

lol, sounds lovely. Perfect reason to stay in bed.
I really want to finish all 5 BP sets (115lb) tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it was the lack of sleep and intimidation factor that did me in on Monday. I've never used the 35lb plates for benching, but 4 out of 5 was pretty good. And somehow I went through a pint of Ben & Jerry's in two days and the scale actually went down. #dadbodstruggle
Congrats, Faiz! Isn't Disney supposed to have decent fitness centers at their resorts? Unless it's more of a time/family issue for you.
My man. Nice.
Like it never happened...

That's actually 100% my bad, I was groggy this morning and read adrenal fatigue.
Usually deadlifts are a lot more taxing and hangover inducing for most so I don't know why you feel that way after squat days and not deadlift days.
I am sitting around 178 or so which is up from my lowest of 172 in August. Hoping it's mostly muscle. I still keep my calories between 1850 to 2000 but sometimes, mostly weekends, I go over and end up near 2500 or more. I also have been cheating with a little more junk food lately but not too bad. Ice cream and Twizzler cherry bites are my weakness.
What gets eaten in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
found a good song to work out to.
instrumental version of Who is it by Michael Jackson. is one of those songs that could go on loop for an hour and I'd get my shit done like clockwork.

I got cootered
Lol I was about to say...
But was beaten to it.
Horrible sleep last night. Amazing date tho. We ate, laughed, had a fantastic time. I never thought in a million years I'd find someone like her. I literally gave up and was planning on staying single till I die.
Slept at 2am but was awful sleep. Got up at 8, body felt tired. Hit the gym anyway. Ohp today with 3x145, 3x165 followed with 2x185, racked it and rested 15 seconds and did another 1x185. I might have gotten all 3 but I'm not going to risk hurting myself to prove anything. Ended with a 9x135. Some real grinders in there. I finally got a set of 10 pull ups after, but got really zapped after.
She is coming Saturday to meet my family. So have a busy weekend again.

Bros, I had DCT training the other day, and I'm a shield guy. Well we trained to secure a housing unit that "went up." I actually broke a fucking door jam. A fucking steel door jam that's meant to house inmates. Lol.
Holy shit. I think one time in a discussion about aesthetics you said you wanted to look like a wrecking ball? Fuck looking like one, you are one!
Juggernaut.

Just checking in. Bulk progress slowed due to being ill for a few weeks, but I am definitely getting stronger and... Softer lol.
Anyways, back at it. Hope everyone is hitting their goals. See you guys in a few more weeks!

Switching to Candito's 6 week program after about 7 months of SS because my deadlift and bench have been stalling. I start on Monday - hopefully I see some results!
So I've asked this before but looks like my sister may actually be serious this time about getting into shape. I already told her to do starting strength and she seems open to actually lifting. So is there any reason she shouldn't do SS or any SS like program? Otherwise not sure what to tell her lol.
Nope.
K in that case what should I do if she can't do an exercise. Like what exercises should I recommend she do if she can't do the bar for the big 4 compounds?. And depending on the exercise I may need to learn it to so I can show her proper form. Cuz I'm already thinking of grabbing those lighter bars people use for curling as a substitute unless there's a more efficient way. Since she has never lifted before despite having a gym membership for years.

Yeah, I'd just grab a lighter bar if they've got them. I know people that started with broomsticks just for body positioning.
K thanks for the advice. Hopefully I can convince her to stick with it. It was miracle hearing she was actually open to lifting since she was just gonna do cardio lol.

I've never actually tried a dip, weighted or otherwise. Really should at some point.
