The Shack: This is Most Likely the Last Thread

[Farley1324]

IMO, this is definitely a sign of good progress.

Thanks. I hope so. It seems like it, adding to press especially is hard/slow.

And **** cutting.

[400Lb Gorilla]

yeah press sucks to put any weight to. but even a 200 pound press makes you feel stronger than any benchpress could

Too bad I've only ever pressed 190. Some nice rep-outs, but never more than 190.

Next bulk that's the target.

@Farley, you putting any emphasis on press? I found 5/3/1 was good for my overhead press.

@Chazzy, if we cant keep people in this thread then I dont foresee there needing to be another Shack thread. I hope the next one will be the new "last thread" but it isnt looking promising

My primary emphasis right now is both press and bench.

I hit my long term squat goal back in like 2011 with a 405 single, and then about a year later I tripped 405 and got 425 for a single. But I never pressed 200 (190), and I never benched 300 let alone 315 (280 technically is all).

So I have a lot more pent up motivation on those. And not just for repping things out, which I've done a little better at than 1RM I think

[dopamine72]

Texas method shot my bench and press up. It for sure shot my squat up the most. But nothing has given me better pressing strength also. Seems to be the case for most lifters on here as well. Smolov Jr works but you'll peak and lose some...Also the risk of injury is much greater.

Today's session.

I dislike cutting.

Jog
8:00

wow, looks nice, man, im proud of you!
Also, im on that protein pie diet for past 3 days. I hope the scale will drop down after ive finished with the last peace. I noticed when i did bag work in the morning, it really gave a boost to the metabolism! But its hard to get up so early for no particular reason :P so have been just working out in the evenings instead! (i have a vaca and i like to sleeeeep and do nothing).

It will take few years in this tempo when another last thread is coming after the last thread

I've recently become obsessed with coconut. Coconut ice cream, cooking with coconut oil, coconut milk in protein shakes, coconut creamer in coffee, coconut covered cashews, pina coladas. F*ckk I love coconut.

I just spent the last 10 hrs doing calculus. I feel like a retard pretending to be a genius.

Meh, I don't like coconut water. I've only tried the Vita Coco one though so not sure how it compares. I did just try Haagen-Dazs pineapple coconut flavor and that sh!t is outstanding.

The coconut addiction continues with coconut curry chicken for dinner tonight.

First workout back after a week off (vacation in NY) sucked. 225x10 incline barbell was harder than it should've been.

dropping weight a little fast, buddy

dropping weight a little fast, buddy

It would seem that way looking at the past week. I highly doubt that is the long term trend though. Just a sudden whoosh for some reason.

I'm just barely over 2,000 calories per day.

[The Shoeless Wonder]

hi. im new here. is this a secret rep trade thread?

Feels good man doesn't it?

I'm bumping my calories after a cut and haven't been having frequent bowel movements + water retention from a bit extra carbs = up 4-5lbs, lol.

Scale weight can f with our minds.

Keep it up in here!

Can someone give me a good strength building split please?


Wanting to get more serious on strength gains. Instead of just going to the gym and doing what ever.

I will also be doing cardio for endurance purposes for work. Help me please.

Where are you now?

What do you mean by split?

Is SS an option? http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=158406513

If you are still at novice level/ability and you want strength...that's the ticket.

I would let you walk/run my dawg :3
