i was just using that as a counter argument for what i hear a lot - that 5/3/1 doesn't progress fast enough.

I didn't know people actually said that. Adding 100lbs to your squat/dead and 50lbs to your bench in less than a year sounds pretty damn fast to me

And Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano FTW.

The "progression" in 5/3/1 has nothing to do with the rate that your lifts actually progress at. Yours could improve faster by a lot, if you set the program up correctly for yourself kinda deal.

jk sorry, false alarm

Nope, not until I got the Internet at 14ish. Snagged 2 pages of boobs around 13, after working with my dad at a frat house he was working on. My Mom discovered those shortly after and took them.

Back when only the super geeks even knew what the internet was and nobody had access to it...I had an uncle who kept playboys under his bathroom cabinet and every time we went to his house (about once per year) I would always find a way to sneak a couple home with me. Aside from that it was my mom's Victoria's Secret catalogs and my imagination.

Asked someone to record my last set of squats since I want to start checking how my form breaks down, check the video after and the person only recorded one second of it. I lose again.

My cool uncle would occasionally show me a couple photos from a Playboy. I guess Vanna White did a issue once and she looked great.

EDIT:

Turns out Vanna's photos were leaked by a ex-boyfriend.

Yes, exactly.

Realistically you won't be adding 300lbs to your total in a year unless you're new to lifting. But that aside, the progress you make is hard to judge. It could be slow or quick, that really depends on you. If you can keep hitting rep PRs every week then you're gonna have improved.

People respond differently. Something I always heard was that 5/3/1 wasn't really good for your bench. Now, I do 80% for 4x4 paused after OHP but that and the main bench day has really helped my bench. Obviously hard to say if it's entirely the training or other factors but let's assume it contributed a good amount to it.

Check my log if you want to see tonights pathetic, sloppy, sumo attempts.

You didn't pull 940 your first time sumo? Son...

Every few months I just have to remind myself why I dont pull sumo... Its funny because I squat wide.

Not really...the way you squat you rely heavily on your adductors to reverse the motion. During sumo they are put in a disadvantageous position through the bottom third.

Did they not have saved by the bell in your area of the world? Also check her out in the show fast lane, she was her hottest in that awful ass show.

Oh wow that makes so much sense its almost stupid. I had no idea that sumo is not a good position for addductors to work, I figured that why I should be good at sumo. Ive been aware for awhile that my adductors are what power me out of the hole, its pretty obvious as my inner thigh makes up 60% of my leg mass and is bigger then the quad group of muscles(on me). Thats why I flip my legs in because its switching from adductor to quad group to finish the movement(in squat).

Care to elaborate further on why adductors are limited at the bottom/beggining of a sumo pull? This is very interesting.

I think I was too young to be interested in that show when it was broadcasted. Can't remember I've watched it more than once.

When you set up your adductors are stretched and they can't generate as much force. Use your quads to break it from the ground and once it gets moving your adductors will take over.

damn all the weight he gained makes his head look EVEN SMALLER.

[GuinnessStrong]

hi.

Sup, *******? Why you never wanna Ghosts with me bro?

[baize82]

330x2 @ 9.2 on paused bench tonight, pretty sure that's a PR. Hit 275 for a double on incline after that. Thinking about chest trampolining 405 once my intensity block starts...what does the Fam think? I've hit 405 off a 2-board recently.

Used to watch scrambled porn back when the porn would just be on like cable channel 73 or whatever, lol

Other than that, it was Wild On (the E! channel show) and some Howard Stern episodes (on E! as well, lol)
