Nut Misc "Do You Even Lift?" Thread

[JasonDB]

If this thread descends into you and ehayes discussing his candy status we are going to have to start a new thread.

Not going there... I am not natty either, but I don't give out routines to natties that are only optimal for those on the holy anabolic trinity. As I only use the cell tech (not the trinity), and care about my strength/power levels massively, I train everything on a very high frequency. ;-)

You got burnout because you are doing, quite frankly, a stupid amount of conditioning work in a caloric deficit whilst trying to powerlift. Taking 3 weeks off from training completely instead of just a deload for 3 weeks, is going to set you back greatly. I, and quite a few others here, have mentioned that you are unrealistic in your goals and what you are doing with your training. Pick a focus and keep your overall training and caloric intake reasonable to hit realistically achievable goals and you are less likely to see this burnout again.

Never really thought about that until you mentioned it just now but that does sound exactly like what happened. My strength was going up and out of nowhere it plumitted like crazy. I am going to focus on fighting for now and just weight train 2 days a week to maintain as much strength as I can. Heck I might even drop weight training if necessary.

... and set a realistic caloric deficit for a guy your size. No more 1,500 calorie a day deficits... 500 a day and be content losing 4 lbs a month... or you'll burn out again... and your strength/energy/motivation will plumit again.

Yea that is exactly what I am going to do. If anything Its only going to set me back a few weeks. I'm going to start at 2000kcals and make changes if it becomes necessary. Thanks. On Spread.

I've seen a lot of people combine Smolov squats and Smolov jr bench press (commonly staggering days or splitting up workouts into am/pm sessions). One of the biggest mistakes people make is doing deadlifts on Smolov or attempting to use Smolov for deadlifts. Currently I'm in the middle of the Smolov base mesocycle with Smolov jr on bench and continuing 5/3/1 for OHP. As long as you are eating enough (more than usual) and your recovery is a top priority, Smolov squat + smolov jr bench press is doable and you can make great gains doing it, but it is a lot of hard work.

Yeah I definitely won't be doing any deadlift work if I go with smolov. Thanks a lot man.

I just did maintenance work for bench and rows. But that was my first taste of high volume work too, so I could have just not been prepared fully. I liked sheiko a lot more, less time laying on the ground wishing for death.

Ha alright thanks man.

True, he will probably be pulling 600 in a month... going take me at least 6 more. I can't complain though... considering where I was not that long ago and everything but my bench is coming back fast.

Dead sharts are indeed awkward. Did you stop and clean house or finish and go after?

Poop doesn't scare me, broseph.

To keep on topic, I lifted weights today. It was not impressive and I kept my sh!t pushed in.

We are going to need you to increase those if you want to hang here... we are about the PR's. Also can you deliver the lulz and troll well? Do you IFFYM or are you a 6 clean meal a day *******?

IF and i usually do one meal... consisting of about half ice cream.

Im working on my PRs right now...

but my talent isnt really in the weight room... its on the baseball field. i dont have to be stupid strong.

although i will do my darndest to get there.

Lulz? what is this lulz you speak of?

1. Vids or Negs.
2. gtfo with this "I don't have to be strong" nonsense. This is nutmisc, not training-bras.com (double entendre ftw).

[HunterCML]

Vids or negs.

This. 330DL but you can squat 325? Calling you out. I smell a quarter squatting **** a mile away.

[ErickStevens]

Squat higher than DL = Half squatting. Errtime.

[XinApoK]

i did 325 during the fall... in the offseason.


This was a few weeks back after the team stopped lifting every day.

[XinApoK]

negative. we were watched by the strength coach during our conditioning competition to determine the winning "team". So it wasnt a **** squat.

I have no reason to lie to you here boss.

gtfo with this "I don't have to be strong" nonsense. This is nutmisc, not training-bras.com (double entendre ftw).

Explain this for me. my point is simply that i dont have to be strong as f to be successful at what i do. I lift to get better at my sport, whereas you guys lift to get stronger. I fail to see the problem with my logic

[ErickStevens]

3/4 Squat. I stand corrected.

Says he deosn't squat high... Posts video of high squat. Is this real life?

Squat is a little high, but not terribad, but still a few inches high. Not parallel though.... as Erick said 3/4 squat. Also your setup is really loose, you need to work on that.
