This is going in my signature lol
Insurance is lowered with a "better" BMI? I never knew that.

When do you need to be a lower weight by? IMO you could run a small deficit for a while and still make progress.

I'm with this. You can make a lot of strength gains while staying at the same weight or losing weight.

Oh yes, certain health insurances give a lower premium based on BMI aswell as fitness levels (they have ways of measuring, typically in the form of pushups or something stupid). Life insurance rates are like BMI, Smoking, health issues (diabetes etc).

I need to be in "Healthy" BMI (like literally 2 pounds) by Mid April...it is definetly do able, but i want to loose a few more just for safety of rates (you never know with insurance companies).

I think it'll be a 2k calories diet (TDEE at roughly 2400), until my checkup for insurance. Then back to bulk.


Do need to get stronger.

My only shoulder injury was a result from deadlifting. Doing more shoulder work seems to ease the tension, correct the issue.
So I have to disagree with him.

yeah, I've had a couple injuries, and after 2 weeks of rest, direct work with less weight and slowly adding more over time has significantly improved healing over taking much more time off from lifting.

I'm debating wether to work out today (rest day) to make up for my awful workout yesterday, or just rest up hard today and kill it tomorrow.

Oh decisions.

If its your planned rest day, then rest IMO.

I agree. You may just end up having an awful workout today, and tomorrow from the lack of rest.
Everyone has a bad day in the gym every now and then.

True dat. Thanks guys.

Only thing that may suck is tomorrow my girlfriend comes back from vacation and I am definetly planning on seeing her, so I may have to passs tomorrow aswell (hope not, gonna try to adjust schedule so i can do both)...probably just gonna try to wake up early and hit the gym before work.

sorry if you made a post in here since I didn't catch it, but what made yesterday's workout awful and do you reasonably think you could improve upon it today?

i'm the kind of person that if i miss a lift, will dredge up enough frustration by the end of my session that I'll go try it again and (usually) get it. same with going in and repeating parts of a session. so i don't see it as super detrimental if you have reason to believe you can improve from what you did. otherwise you're just further fatiguing yourself physically and mentally. i've started missing lifts now thanks to a deficit and won't go back and try those lifts on the same day or the next day because i know the cause and nothing besides eating more will help that (which ain't happening anytime soon ).

[health4life24]

Sometimes a planned rest day can turn into a kick ass workout. Just saying from experience, not suggesting anyone follow what I do.

My two cents.

i'm gonna debate on it on the drive home...

tomorrow is gonna be a busy day and i'm usually better working out in the evening (even late evening).

If anything, and I muster up the energy...i'll probably just go for a late night session (will pretty much be tomorrow and hence not a rest day).

Gonna decide based on how much energy I got.

[The Solution]

It's about time they threw something in there. Was getting pissed up until that point. They still need to step it up a lot more. It almost seems like they have different writers this season.

You aint kidding
the start of the show was so slow i was thinking to myself, not another episode like this, and then out of no where it got real good and spicy. Bout time the walking dead got back to what it should be known for.

Thanks for the blunt advice...it sucks being weak alltogether lol.
I am not sure how I'm this weak at all actually...it could be a combination of poor diet/stress/not training/lots of other crappy factors that probably did no good to me as a teenager.

Well thats the past, now is now.

Its a hard road up unfortunately.
I hate struggling on a 115 bench.

I think if I make it to 165, I can get the better insurance premium...and from there I think it'll be a bulk to 180 then cut back down.

Dem pullups do...must be easier at lower weight.

you cant even bench 1x your bodyweight for a single rep? Son. you need to stop cutting asap and get some meat on them bones. Listen to lee..
What is your Squat and Deadlift?

I'm going to be honest here. You lift less than half the girls on this forum. I really, really don't think your focus should be on cutting. Cut for insurance and focus on strength after that. TBQH, I think at that level of strength optimal hypertrophy would be harder to obtain and you should tailor your surplus with that in mind. A smaller surplus will probably be better.

Boom.

Take the day off, dont try to "Redeem" yourself for a bad workout, Just focus and use it as fuel to the fire and get it next time.

Lol, pretty embarrasing.
I havent tried my 1RM since i started and it was 90 lol (i was really weak when I started)

My Squat is about 160 on a 5x5, and my deadlift is about 175 (need to form check).

I gotta kill some pounds for insurance, but yeah its gonna be a lifelong bulk.

I think i'm gonna take the rest of the day off, either work out really late at night or just go to bed early and wake up early to hit the gym since my day tomorrow is gonna be busy. (I'm probably leaning to waking up early)

Good getting that 176x3!

Can you pinpoint where your weakness was with the 200 attempt?

I pull no straps/belt.
My grip just failed near my knee's. I need to get my hands on some liquid chalk I think.

I wasn't too impressed with most of the flavors. They were good but not great. Then I tried Cookies and Cream. I have 4 boxes being delivered in 2 days.

Crush it.

And even adding 2.5kgs at a time will see some awesome progress over the course of a year.
