Careful what you wish for. Having certain height / space requirements has meant I've spent nearly a year and a half looking for a house.

True. At the very least I'd like taller ceilings in the basement. I have to lug shit upstairs just for standing OHP 
That's why I alternate every few weeks.

Deadlift training is going fantastic. EVERYTHING is getting stronger.
SSB Squat 445lb, Deadlift 495lb +chains x 5, barbell row 405lb x 5.

Good work, that's a good milestone.

I've realised that if I want to get the muscle targetting right on the box squats then I need to use considerably less weight than I'm technically capable of lifting. Same story for Romanian deadlifts. My ass muscles really don't work properly. =/
Dude, you're a beast. It feels like you've hit another gear.

I tried to do HIIT sprints... 2 mins in I remembered that I can't run.
Thanks!

Thanks, I think I finally figured out what works to push it to the next level. Let's see where's it goes! Thanks bud!
It's just fun to watch. You've put in WORK and the results are directly correlated
your lifts are always awesome. When I see your pull exercises the first thing that comes to mind is "how in the world can someone have such a strong grip"?
it's mind blowing. you use chalk, right? is there anything else to it?

I'm using straps in hthis video. But my 625lb video is hook grip. If you master hook grip, you're basically cheat mode. Your thumbs become straps.

My current year tracking is almost over and I only missed around 5 days of workouts out of 260 workout days.
Have any of you guys tried myprotein brand whey?
I like their protein and calorie to serving size/grams, and the price is pretty damn good.
I'm looking to buy Chocolate Smooth.

It's all I've really ever used. Purity wise it's pretty damn good, but the flavours are very hit and miss.

I've been using them for a while. Usually getting which ever flavour is on offer at Amazon UK which is typically around 11 GBP for a kilo. Some flavours taste better than others but none so far have been terrible.
I usually mix it with greek yoghurt and eat it like a dessert rather than drinking it with water.
That's the type I got, but I'd never use my bumpers on the normal farmer handles anyway, I'd be scared of damaging the weights. The top loading ones are the nicer I feel. I've still yet to use mine it my ghd machine. Soon....

Any flavor you two recommend?
I plan on just drinking it with water. If I add cinnamon spice to it and double scoop (2 servings) it shouldn't be that bad for me to down it.
I'd agree on the purity. Even their basic vanilla tastes like trash to me though.

I only ever use unflavoured now as on the rare ocassions I do actually use it, I put it in smoothies. Cookies and cream wasn't bad though.
Edit - Bollocks. Suit I bought 6 months ago now hanging off me. I hate this bulk and cut shit.

I am so excited.. :O
I had a recital with other musicians and it turns out that the guitar teacher and another piano teacher like to lift weight
we'll go lift one day together.
I'm like "whhaaa???" I know many people in the world like we weigthlifting but classical musicians are mostly pussies and lazy af, they treat their hands like they are supermodels,
it's definitely rare, so this is very exciting to me.

Back at it today. Feeling good. Warmed up my legs then went to push my first set - BOOM - lumbar was like NOPE straight through my left hip/glute area, didn't even make it all the way down. Fuck this shit. I'm sick of my lumbar issues already. Had to resort to hacks and take it slow. If I keep up like this I'll be down to squatting just the bar with pain. My favorite lift day shattered just like that
Why do I get the feeling cross fit shoes are just a ploy to get me to change my shoes when entering the gym? Anyone here actually find any benefit to them? I know Reebok toyed with the idea of the all in one training/running/basketball shoe
I posted this in the shoe thread as well best regards, OM

Are those soles squishy? They look like they would be.
You really can't have an "all in one" shoe for training, because there are just so many different requirements (even between running and basketball).

Kinda shocked by how much money I saved by not buying any fast food this week... I actually hardly even ate this past week... really mostly slept. My eating habits are changing again due to work. I work super late and into the morning so I'm only even really hungry for is breakfast.

Wow, you probably needed all of your training to lift that turkey off the table and into your mouth.

First time squatting again after it mashed up my (not yet properly healed) rib. Worked up to a little over body weight for reps and didn't feel any obvious pain.
Cautiously optimistic that I'll be able to get back to it. Though I'll have to watch it with the frequency as it seems to play hell with my shins for some reason.
I'm up 2.1kg (4.6lbs) from my pizza and alcohol day yesterday. I'm sure it'll be mostly gone by the end of the week though.

Yasssssss! Grats man!
I must be doing something wrong..my cheat days don't bring my anywhere in terms of weight.
I guess I'd be up a kilo or so right after eating but 5 pounds real weight that stays past a night of sleep?? never....I wished!
the feeling must be amazing, learning about the pregnancy and proposing at the same time, congrats to you both.

Woo hoo, welcome to the club.
Thinking about switching to high bar from low bar squats since I've heard that it could help with my lower back problems. Any input from you guys? My weights are still pretty pitiful at 70kg/154lbs 5x5 (been doing stronglifts) and my ego probably wouldn't shatter from the decreased weight that comes with high bar.

Are you talking about lower back problems caused by squatting, or general lower back problems?
The lower back pain is most likely caused by my workout. It only started to crop a few weeks ago and it's at its worst on the day of the workout (I always do my workouts in the morning) and the following day. Haven't gone to the gym since last Saturday and I don't really have any lower back pain right now. I'm gonna hold off until next Saturday since I got a cold anyway and see from there.

Thanks for the kind words FitGAF!
I'm excited 😊
Bought some new jeans on BF and I barely fit into them after a wash.
38W 32L and 5% spandex still no room to fit my fat ass and thighs.

I've gained much more then 5lbs overnight from a cheat day. Very common for me sadly.
