One of the most widely and longest studied supplements. I don't preload or go crazy. 1g per 40lbs of bodyweight and that's it.

4loko, the good ol days

love that stuff

damn good work!
OHP is such a struggle, but it feels so damn good.
He was asking about long term side effects, and there is no study for this.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne22.htm
People talk around the fact to rationalize it, and then cite anecdotal evidence that it has been used longer than recent times without anything major popping up. But the truth of the matter is that there aren't any long term studies, so we don't really know.
There's only been one study that looked at possible renal damage, but even that one was limited in scope.
It's currently banned by the NCAA for this reason.

That's not how 5/3/1 works, you need to read up on how to program it.
Bad sleep, bad eating (no clue how much), and just stress from moving has caused my first fail at the gym. Only got 2 for 170 on ohp today. I just couldn't do it, felt not myself.
These things happen, so no worries. Will just continue on as if I had a normal day. I just can't wait till the move is over and I can get grinding again proper.

Dude, first fail? I fail on OHP nearly every time at least once on my last set.

Ah gotcha. I don't know anyone with issues from taking it. Looking at all of my meds I take I should be dead already
I understand the reservations, though.-
Man, Spirit and FE are mighty fucking BEASTS! I picture both can just take a head off with a single swipe :O

Thanks for the tip, my stability is all over the place on bench. I'll shoot a quick form video next time. At this point it feels like the days of easy gains are behind me. Even squats are becoming difficult, and I'm only doing 235.
lol, that's awkward. So did you finish the set or what? I'd be compelled to finish in a public gym.
I know this sounds cocky, but I rarely fail at the gym. Ego rages with so much success lifting. I know why it's happening, but it still bothers the crap out of me. I need to slow my roll and get myself in check.
I honestly need a 3 day fast. Soonest I can do one is maybe 2 or 3 weeks from now.
Sounds like you're doing them right then!
Had a rest day yesterday as i was hungover, drinking really does throw me out of sync, i wish i could learn to stop but it's way too hard not to have a drink when we're entertaining clients at work.
I've opted into doing the Tough Mudder event in August which is a 12 mile obstacle course, anyone done this kind of thing before?

I'd have thought it was probably time to find an intermediate program at that stage.

Guess I'm not sure what that entails. I've always done a 5x# program with accessories.

(Beyond) 5/3/1 is very popular here. It's what I'll be switching to next for sure.

Reading up. Thanks
Edit: OK. Switching to 531.
Also, thank god for apps. I imagine running this in a spread sheet would be a little annoying.
Great advice!

There are a few 5/3/1 apps. Which one is the most recommended?

Random: Was just rolling my forearm (stupid tennis elbow) and I realised that when I hit certain points I can make my fingers move automatically. Fun!

If you use the app it tells you exactly what to do and how many times to deload before dropping the set/rep count. I did 5x5->5x3->3x3->1x3->1x1. It all depends on how far you wanna take it.

What else are you going to do in the three minutes between sets?

Ha what program doesn't require that? Once you graduate past your Insanity's, P90's and Beachbody routines your going to need to do more advanced movement along with fatiguing your muscles. Thats going to require drop-sets, staggered sets and so on. All of which require constant changes in weight and volume.

Round up!
When the programs calls for 197 lbs, for example, just put 2 plates on each side and go to town

I assume most people are already doing warmup sets anyway, so there's already a bunch of messing around with weight.

Meh, it's all lifting.
This caloric intake thing is harder than I thought.
6'2" 167lbs and I have to consume over 3000 a day?
Ffs...
I will say this though, ever since I've started working out again which has been about a month, my appetite has shot up like crazy. There were times before I started this where I could go a whole day on 2 decent meals. Now I'm hungry every other hour and finish my food much faster lol. I kind of like it tbh, I feel better and Stray away from nutritionally unsatisfying meals more often.

Is this the generally recommended 531 training?

Pretty sexy pump too. FE is so dreamy.

Yes. A common modification is to do the heaviest set first.

I don't do them on deadlifts. The other three, yep.
DivineRage002

Only problem I see with that 531 training is that it suggests dips as an accessory.
Dips give me pain in my collarbone and I'm not willing to push any more of those to avoid injury, any good alternative?
Arrowgigantic
Member
Dips are an upper body compound exercise that is heaviest on the triceps, so something like close grip bench press, or diamond push-ups. Or you could do some other upper body compound like rows or incline press and then an extra set of an isolation exercise, like a triceps pulldown or a triceps extension.
I rewatched the Ant video on deadlift form and deloaded almost 100 lbs yesterday. I tried to do super strict form and push with my legs. I had let Ego get in the way and was emphasizing on the weight than proper form. Got damnnnnnnnn, my ass is sore. It hurts to sit. I still have to do roadwork today as well.

I think the hardest part about bulking is the eating. It was fun once.
