I had the same start to happen with me as well, or rather I had a scare. It was creeping up a tad, but just kinda stopped...for now. Now white hairs I am getting quite a few of those.
lol it makes me really self conscious when I'm out in public, like it isn't noticeable unless you are actually looking for it. It's really weird too because when I was little I had a big AFRO. Just going to ask if there's any pills to take and my dad told me to ask about one he used which worked I think so.

Worked out with my buddy again, man I go so much faster with someone there with me lol Like 45s-1m break instead of 2minutes + haha. A lot more intense and I guess it's good since I'm shockin my muscles! We went in the hot tub after and talked about girls & bodybuilding lol Ronnie coleman came up a few times. He doesn't want to compete just wants to look good/get girls.

Every week now, first set of pressing with shoulders my right one hurts. It's usually fine after that when it warms up but just BB Pressing the bar started to bug it. Another meh shoulder workout, I swear one day I'm going to enjoy shoulders!
Why do I have to suck at pressing
Random Note. My sister's boyfriend asked me yesterday
him-"how much do you weigh?"
me-175-180
him-"what did you deadlift?"
-me 365
"holy **** ur freakin crazy, bye"
so I ask him later on why he asked me and he says
"I did 205 and that was hard as hell, Scott(his friend) thinks you're on steroids" LOL
yea I guess I can try that next week, what is the benefit to doing it like that? It's funny cuz I don't think I'm strong at all because I compare myself to people on this site but to the average person I am. I don't look like I can lift anything either lol

Your shoulders are in a much better position to OH. Takes a while to get used to the balance issue. All relative bro, I feel the same way to, until a "normal" points it out. You have a different idea of what big and strong is than most, and to most you are.

Man I love doing rope extensions because my tri's look so freakin sick in the mirror LOL Good workout! I've been eating quite a bit of oatmeal lately. The first time I've ever eaten it was this week and now I've been havin like 1 package (quaker package thing) pre and 2 post workout. I think theres around 23-25g of carbs per package. I like the cinnamon and spice & apple one so far.
Random women came up to me while I was inbetween Dip sets and was asking me "so how long does it take to build up your biceps?" Clearly she was mirin' my guns. Then she started talkin to me about lifting etc.... Unfortunately she was not a babe but it was cool to have someone ask ME for help lol

I wanted to do leg extensions but they were being used and I didn't feel like waiting 10 minutes. I was in a ****ty mood during squats. My right hip flexor was like "**** you brendan stop squatting" My left one which is the original one hurting is fine but my right one is going wild now.
It's like if I don't feel good on squats then the rest of my leg workout suffers lol I'm almost ready to just stop squatting all together. I was almost at 315 before and now my squats just suck. I don't think my body was meant to squat lol
what happened to your squats brah they were much higher than 225 before
you gaining weight still?
haha well basically I didn't get to workout legs for like 3 weeks and I never squatted for a month because of the Olympia and school. My legs haven't lost any size or anything(see pic from like a week ago) but I am just getting my lifts back to where they were.
and now my hip flexor is starting to bug me again so squatting is sucking haha
Misc
Reading around on diff forums about hip flexor pain when squatting theres obviously a ton of people with this problem. It hurts when I get to the bottom and start reversing direction. Now some people believe it's because they use more quad muscle when going up. So more knees rather then using your hips.
I do notice that I push from more of the front of my foot rather then the heel. Part of this being because my left heel comes off the ground when I squat lower. That's either being because my left calf is tighter which I doubt cuz my right side usually feels way tighter then left or my achilles tendon is just shorter on the left?
Other people have being saying to just warm up more so I might go back to my old way of walking on treadmill for 5 minutes just to get the blood flowing and do some leg swings/ stretches.
My guess is that it's a bit of both, I need to loosen up more and work on my form. I might try box squats so I can sit back more on my squats.

My friends like "oh I"ll see u at the gym man" in a text so I assumed we'd be working out together but he did arms and I did chest. He just spotted me on my bench. If we actually end up being workout partners then he said he'd change his schedule to mine(woo)
Was pretty happy about 225 x 4, not good for some but for me hell yea. My back started arching (that doesn't feel good)

The hip flexor was a bit off but not as much as it has been. I kind of tried to ignore the pain and just kept squatting. My lower back was like FUUU after 205 x 20. Sick quad pump holy ****, could barely bend my legs.
I felt like a retard trying to use the Leg Adductor(whatever one you squeeze) because the pin wouldn't go in the hole and I tried for like 3 minutes to get it in (that's what she said ) so I gave up LOL

Worked out at school today during my break, first time doing that and their equipment is a bit diff then my gym. The weights are metal so they are probably heavier than the YMCA's. Yes, my incline is usually horrible, I never do BB incline stuff.
I DROPPED MY SHAKER CUP AGAIN ON THE CEMENT OUTSIDE AND IT BROKE!!!! NOW I GOTTA FIND ANOTHER ONE
I see your squats are back up there again lol, well done big neva
and i lol'd at the shaker, i remember you posting pics last time of your last shaker breaking
I think part of it was just because I stopped at 5 reps instead of going higher. I really hate picking an amount of reps and stopping their unless I say 8 and like the 8th one is hard. I never say ok I'm going to do 10 reps, then 8 then 6. I just move the weight until I don't think I can do another rep basically every working set or if I get to like 10 and I feel that was enough.
yea I had to bump that thread today to make sure everyone knew I broke another

Really good workout! My left bicep started bugging me again after the BB rows (probably cuz I did it underhand). Not sure why it's always the left now, used to always be the right haha. I felt good though today other then that
