My Progress with 5/3/1 - LETS GET FUARKIN' MASSIVE!

[fittofattofit]

Haha ya cheeky kunt. I need to do some more posing practice and yeah you're right I shouldn't squeeze my scaps together.

I think you're right about 165 - 5-6% although I'm hoping after this eating fest is over with that would be closer to 170 - 5-6%.

Before I said I wanted to enter a comp just to say I've done what I said I would... But more and more I am thinking I want to win whilst I'm at it ha

If you keep bulking to Christmas and then cut then 170 at 5-6% would look huge


Screencap ---- was mirin' the juicy shoulders!

Pretty alpha job on those 20 rep dips at 184 as well!

Lol I don't wanna know what you do with those pics your saving...

They are filling out very quickly I think I must of been flat as fuark when I went to LV. Weight is stabilising aswell and my love handles have sucked in. Drop from 3k to 2.7k a day seems to have done it.

The plan is to go to end of march. So that's a good 5 months of growth to be had and ideally that 5lbs of lean mass I'm looking for. As most comps in the UK are later in the year it gives me lots of time to cut slow and I may even be set for an entry! Exciting stuff!

One thing I am thinking though is I should maybe go for a higher initial rate of loss say 1.5-2lb and then slow it down to 1lb a week just from the past 2 cuts experience and the conisistent plateau and strength drops around week 16... Or I need to practice refeeds better... It's all a big learning curve.

And I'm rambling.

I only had to bring my chest into play for that last rep. Rest was delts and tris. Never liked pressing behind the neck, doesn't feel right.

I do weighted dips on bench press day. Last session I did +25kg x 10 x 3. Doing weighted on both OHP and BP day will be too much for my joints. All about balance.

I'll admit I do lean back on those last reps too. Hehe, I saw that on weighted dip, I guess I didn't do my homework properly.

I post dem on my ******** page and pretend they're me to get da chikz






Srsly though, I use 'Grab' on my Mac and I can get a pic posted on-line in under a minute ......I use the screencap a lot when I'm checking out my squat form

You look to have filled out well since Vegas so a 5 month bulk should see you get that extra 5 lbs easily I would have thought. Of course....maintaining the new mass on the cut is he hardest part, but your graded plan for the cut sounds good

Lol sounds like a handy tool.

I don't think keeping the lean mass will be hard, I think the difficult bit is getting my timings right. I know I can cut pretty well now as I looked bigger in the 170s this year than I did in the 180s last year. So that should be ok.

I'll be going back to the old routine of 6 reps for 4-5 sets heavy ass weight for assistance. Seems to be the key.

Lol at the screen cap fit took. Your only wearing one wrist wrap.

Nice shoulder session shoulders looking good. If you bulk and cut how you did last time you should be golden. I mean look at you now

Well spotted! There's a reason for that. A guy called Alex who I've spoke to on YT (who's strong as fuark btw) said he gave up wearing Wraps. I decided to try, right (which is my all round damaged as fuark forever wrist) said no, left was ok-ish.

The way I see it, I need my wrists to perform my job. If doing this bollocks them up so I can't work then it's counter productive. So I'll probs be using wraps regardless.

[Raigs]

Well I'm not strong as fuark but I'll tell you. Not using wraps on light warmup sets is ok but damn if I'm not going to wear them on heavier sets. Preventative measures. So they don't hurt ever again.

[Anthony21]

Nice pressing and progress bro. Stay strong.

[Stncldsnake]

Strong vid D! shoulders and traps are looking huge bro, great work!!

[MakeGoBoom]

I agree with you matey. It was an increase in weights that screwed my wrist up to begin with. Probably wouldn't have this issue if I had always used wraps.

Nice pressing and progress bro. Stay strong.

You too matey! Have you tried what I told ya yet?

Strong vid D! shoulders and traps are looking huge bro, great work!!

Yeah buddy!

I've never used wrist wraps and am getting into heavier weight now and don't want to fuark up my wrists. Are they a must have for all. Also would they do anything detrimental like weaken my grip in the long run?

They won't weaken your grip. You are pressing, not pulling. Some people say they don't need them... for me I will say I wish I had as the damage is now done!

Hmm i will probably invest in a pair so, seem to be cheap, get them off ebay. Better safe than sorry.

Hey did you get my message about gst?

Yes bud I just haven't had time to form a concise reply yet

Good god and concise it was! feels bad now, you shall never be questioned again good sir

i would also recommend wraps for heavy push man. i guess possibly there could be some detrimental effect to your forearms, seeing as mine suck i don't worry about it. i'd rather protect my wrist, they snap rather easily as i've found out several times.

Just from a quick ebay search they all seem to be pretty much the same and fairly cheap. This is the first search result and ones I would most likely buy, look legit??

Btw im pressing 132lbs atm for 3x5s and adding 5lbs pretty much every week, does this weight constitute wraps? Only reason i'm asking is coz i've never had wrist problems before but as DBO says he wish he had used them before he injured himself.

[ktj4l]

Never used wraps of any kind. I guess I'll be dead soon. Good night, sweet wrists. Feelsbadman.

lmao... as you can see cel wraps are a personal preference, some dudes never use them and are fine. in truth the only time i've injured mine was being less then smart oly lifting or boxing. problem is once they get hurt they're never the same. so i wrap up for bigger presses

weight all depends on you. if you feel it's putting a lot of strain then any weight could require wraps.

Hey I went to the doctor the other day asking about melatonin (to help me sleep), he says I need a prescription and be over 50 to get it, I hear you guys in Germania can get it over the counter, wtf bro, I needs my sleep, give me some of your German sleep drug!!

Is that overhead press or bench? I have 24" wraps which give excellent support, I have 12" wraps too which are not as good.

You just lucky / have perfect wrist position - form / bendy ass mafugger / all of the above. Like I said, I never used to use them and one over zealous session of Macenko bench landed me up with my tendinitis but you live and learn can only imagine it might not have happened if I had used wraps from the get go. Also, as before, I need my wrists to work or I can't - I work on big ass heavy plant (gensets) and need to be able to move heavy stuff about and use big ass tools.. I'm literally useless at work when it starts flaring up.
