  • Two weeks off in a row (candito training) due to injury?

    Sigh. So I planned it perfectly. My Deload week would coincide with my driving and moving 500 miles inward from SC to AL, unloading the U-haul, and then continuing on to TX for vacation (this...
  • Videos of my first meet yesterday (I did well!)

    So I've trained thinking "bodybuilding" in my mind, but I do like to lift heavy. So I decided to try a powerlifting competition. Long story short, I weighed in at 165 lb (74kg) weight class and...

    Awesome advice guys. Ate my pizza, had my gatorades, took some Advil, and I felt MUCH better this morning and did really well! Gonna post vids tomorrow cause I'm proud of my lifts and looking...
  • Need help on how to be less sore by tomorrow morning!!!

    Cliff Notes: I workout every day this week except today, and I was just today told about and offered a comp'ed entry into a powerlifting meet tomorrow! I'm still sore from my workouts this week, but...
  • Any "freeform" lifters? Change exercises each workout?

    I'm curious about this. Honestly, I've done routine after routine, and seen growth with each. I'm thinking of taking a split that I like (four days), keeping two or three core exercises per day...

    Sounds like some good plans. I looked up Candito's and will keep that in my back pocket. I think I'll get the TM a shot for two or three months and see what happens, but it's nice to have another...

    Damned cellphone. Typos everywhere. Sigh. Sorry for looking virtually illiterate.

    squat and deadlift are fine. I do need to find a partner to spot me during the bench. I do try to pause while benching, but I should probably make sure to watch a competition and Lso have a partner...
  • Going to enter my first PL Comp in Dec. Train with Starting Strength?

    So I've been working out for a few years, did some minor bodybuilding shows, and changed training routine every 3 - 6 months. When I trained using MAX-OT (a heavy weight, lower rep style), I like...

    Two weeks in. Been eating keto for 3 weeks now (four if you don't count a "24 hour carb up" the first day, but strict for 3 weeks). I feel fine. I'm doing strength training 4 days a week,...
  • Let's see what SKD can do for strength and bodyfat.

    Alright everyone. I've cut and bulked with a high protein IIFYM. I've cut with a strict very low fat regimen. I've bulked with CKD.

    IMO, it all works. I'm a very VERY firm believer of Calories...

    I wouldn't count on jogging to build up your legs.

    I found good success building legs with stationary bike interval sprints (1 min on, 1 min relaxed for 8 rounds), or uphill sprints outside.

    I...

    I did an all calisthenic routine for a few months about three years ago. Yes, your idea will work. But it takes SOOOOO long.

    I was doing the same, 30 pullups for warmup (however many sets it...

    Don't assume everyone wants a big booty girl. It's only considered 'in style' cause the ones that want it are the loudest.

    Not on bodyweight alone amongst average lifters or even necessarily gym rats. But in general, that's why there are weight classes in lifting sports. Cause, yes, someone in the heavyweight class who...

    Strength gains have stopped too? Have you taken body measurements and tracked that? Weight is not the ONLY indicator of making progress.

    My personal philosophy, I use the weight/reps to guide. If I'm lifting heavy and probably won't get past 5 reps, I'm going to breathe every time and reset (about 1-2 seconds between each rep). If...

    After you diet back down consider a "lean bulk". I use my abs as a reference. If I can see them without hard flexing, I'm ok. If they start to dissappear, cut back on the bulk.

    lol.

    I agree.

    Instead, track your cheat day, keep your calories within whatever your goal is, but f*** the macros. So if you're on 2000 cals, have an entire pizza all day long if you want on your...

    Come to think of it, wearing headphones pretty much never works anyway. Just let him know to leave you alone so you can lift, and try not to get caught in the parking lot at the same time as him.
