Here are how my numbers dropped from bulk to cut.

Squat 425x3x3 ---> 365x3x3
Bench 335x3x3 ---< 295x3x3
DL actually stayed ~500x3x3

It happens to the best of us Sean.

Oh I totally agree. The confusion comes in with the sudden drop off within the last month. But that's why I'm thinking I'm going lower and lower and it's more a motor pattern issue. I'm going to keep practicing dropping this deep, combined with front squats, and see what happens

I believe that the "never go ass to grass" part would go well with that. Your form is killing you, Sean.

Anyone ever participated in a Tough Mudder? Doing one in "chicago" (rockford) this saturday and NERVOUS AS SHIT

12 miles 20 obstacles. Like, I think i might take a mr. hyde to keep my endurance up throughout.
Click to expand...

I haven't done a Tough Mudder, but I've done the shortest Spartan race (Sprint), which was around 5 miles. I'm signed up for two longer Spartans in July and September.

I had a good time in spite of the lousy weather, but I wasn't really trying to be competitive. I was on a team with some people from my gym, and since we were in the non-competitive group ("open" vs. "elite"), we were allowed to help each other during the obstacles.

I'm sure you'll enjoy yours too. Report back!

I certainly didn't, but as I mentioned earlier, I wasn't trying to set impressive times. I actually liked having the obstacles to give me a break from the running.

These guys are going to need to know a bit more that if you want specific help. Read the OPs, and come back with some questions and I'm sure it'll be more beneficial for everyone involved.

Edit: Woops, looks like I'm late on that one

It's neither, just a supplement to increase your protein for the day.
You can take it whenever.

He must take it the second he stops lifting or else all those gainz are wasted

Kidding! Just take it whenever. Or get protein from other sources

We should start a YouTube meme called "the protein challenge" where bros take a scoop of whey and just dump it in their mouth.

Eat less and lift heavy.

Hahah do you guys mean this form? If so....


  • Age: 22
    Height: 5'8
    Weight: 234.8 but what's weird is that I don't look huge. My stomach is kinda bulging and I hate that.
    Goal: under 200 pounds and much more strength
    Current Training Schedule: I walk and run on a treadmill every Tuesday and Thursday at my college. I bet that sounds lame...
    Current Training Equipment Available: I do have a gym at my university full of stuff
    Comments: Help me turn into a sculpted and healthy young man, please. I also had a very psychical job and my weight was 205 then but since it was just temporary I lost it. Being inactive and playing games a little too much bug did bite me. My new job as a cashier at Walmart begins late next week so hopefully that helps burn calories. I'm also a clueless guy concerning fitness.

This makes me want to get the lot of us and record an infomercial for some reason. Like a Bullshit Machine™ where the commercial shows us fumbling around with fitness until we get some electro zapper or some shit and bioscience from OT.

I'll edit that shit. A FitGAF production.

I only run twice per week, way less than runners recommended, and cycle 4 days per week. Cycling has dramatically reduced my running injuries and I'm still making awesome progress with my running, both for speed and distance. So far I've easily beat last year's race PRs and I'm on track to destroy last year's Soldier Field 10-mile time by at least 1:30 PER MILE.

Cycling is awesome.

Practicing their Slav squats
Click to expand...

Slav squats are a daily part of my routine man.

On another note, my shin splints are almost completely gone. It seems like my left leg is pain free and I get some light pain in my right leg after about 3/4 of a mile. It's feeling so good to have that go away. My times are still going down every run too. Overall I'm very happy with my run progress.

I like that, looks like a solid bit of kit.
Click to expand...

It's basically last year's Defy with a slightly longer wheel base and no drop bars as I can't tuck in :(

Specing up against others in the price range gave the specs to Giant, but I went and tested a cannondale, trek and specialised, the later two had slightly more refined rides than the giant, but the Giant was so much lighter and I've knocked up 10k miles on the rock, with half of those as a daily commuter.

I don't regret my choice at all. :)

Someone in another thread recommended I try Combat Crunch bars and I have to say they are pretty tasty. Same basic nutrition as Quest bars but closer to a candy bar in taste.

My favorite bars surprisingly are Think Thin bars. They are the only one's I've found that don't taste like cardboard.
