At the start of a bulk I have to force myself to eat more because I'm just not hungry. You quickly adapt and it's very easy to go overboard, especially if you are spiking your hunger hormone with forbidden goblin tinctures from the Orient.
Did find out that my stomach becomes like a balloon ready to pop + it gets hard to breathe. If I really gobble down on the food.
Scheduled a doctors appointments to get that checked out. Going to get some bloodwork done at the sime time, since that’s apparently imporant.
Anyone know the refrigerated shelf life of mk and lgd? I bought some two years ago and rarely used it.
At least 2 years.
 
My goal by the end of the year is to pull 600lbs on deadlift. I'd like to get my lifts cascading down from there so 600 dead 500 squat 400 bench 300 overhead (yeah right). I'm currently mid to upper 500s on dead so I think it is a realistic goal but the bench and squat might come around.
 
Man, is there a polite way to approach someone and suggest better form? I saw a woman doing the most FUCKED UP squats ever today, like she is going to hurt her back very badly if she doesn't fix this. Basically bending forward from her hips at a 90 degree angle, no actual squatting in her legs, 10 degree angle at best in her knees and loading the weight entirely on her neck.

I tried to be sneaky and ask her what she's doing because it looked interesting, then when she said squats I tried to be like oh try to do "x" and "y" for a better work out, she was so abrasive to me after that lmao.

Maybe this is an exercise I don't know about but I felt like such an ass. 😳

Men: You don't want to put the bar on your neck like that. For good mornings you want to- what? Those were supposed to be squats? Jesus. Alright, let me show you the proper way to do a back squat. (heh women ☕)
Women: Wow, that interesting. I love your hair! So cute. My friend also does squats but she likes to use her legs. Oh yeah of course. No totally. She's such an Aquarius. Yeah I know I'm like you gotta put your spine into it like I mean it's called a back squat for a reason. (I can't believe I've been squatting wrong this whole time! So embarrassing.)

You gotta be direct. If she gets sassy show her this video of a woman trying to squat 405 in front of her daughter and then start yelling IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES GUILLOTIIIIIINE YUH!

How there were two people there that watched her sit that weight on her neck and didn't stop her?? W T F Jesus that's brutal.

I assume it looked like this, from the description;

In which case id assume it was a good morning, but the way you say it it seems like she believed it was a squat anyway. Idfk.

My doctrine has long been "not my circus, not my clowns" but i kinda feel guilty for that. In any case I'd've gone more or less for what you say you did, but individual responses vary, i guess.

Just talk to her and be straight forward. "Has anyone showed you how to do a proper squat?" If she doesn't appreciate your mild critique and wants to go to the gym to do shitty squats while wasting a bunch of time and look retarded that's on her.

lol I knew someone would post this and it's still brutal every time. What a stupid way to die.

Bleh, I don't miss public gyms at all other than gawking at people exercising weird or wasting excessive amounts of time waiting on others. It sounds like she was doing a high bar quarter squats bending way over forward based on your pic and Charcoal's description.

Maybe just lift and keep showing good form, if you look strong sometimes people will just come up to you and ask questions. I've had that happen a few times as well.
 
Definitely, had it as a staple for a long time cause it's so easy to eat.
It's so tasty, cheap and can be used a lot of ways.

I assume if you're in this thread you're lifting, check your macros it's also good healthy fats so don't get that triple 0 shit. Get a big tub eat a bunch rinse repeat. It's great to soak chicken in etc.

I had a few weeks off everything because I got the noro (I got lucky and spent 2 weeks shitty... literally) lost 12 lbs :/ feels amazing to get on the weights again. Even if I'm weak. I'm back doing hang ups and feel so baller pulling em off.

It was similar to this, but she was definitely bending at her knees/turning them out like you would do in a squat, just with like no range, which is why I opened with asking her what the exercise was because I actually wasn't sure if she was doing something I didn't know about LOL
 
I finally got 300 lbs up on the bench press for a 1 rep max. It took me about a year to get there and I started with a 135 bench.
 
A habit im noticing at my gym is people using elbow Wraps/knee Wraps (Not sleeves). Watched a kid bench 315 once with wraps with a hard barbell bounce off his chest. Spent over 30 mins on the bench barely doing anything. Fast track to injury. If you need to cheat your form or use wraps maybe you need to take a look at your routine and reign in the ego.

Introducing the proprietary MS Paint Gigachad "Lifting Horror" react, depicting a person failing an overhead press with an old-style barbell (any resemblance to the "Horrifying" react is purely coincidental.).
