I don't think that's what he meant. IE, I think "banana" was a euphemism in this case.

Pfft. I deep throat banana's all day. Welcome by the way.

HAHAHAHA! Thanks for rubbing it in, dick. I'm trying. I've been 165 since June. I'm a failure at bulking. So far the only thing that helped was sitting at home and eating, cleaning, cooking, eating, cleaning, cooking, eating. All cot dayum day, but now I'm in school full time... sucks.

You shud probably be doing GOMAD, if you can't gain weight on that then you have quite the metabolism.

It's a lot of sugar but I'd say drink huge glasses of chocolate milk to get in the extra calories

Jakes on you brah. Gomad for months at a time ever since June. And not a single pound was gained that month.

It's not GOMAD if you puke before or after you consume calories.

I-Day today. Rib still feels like crap. I got it checked out on Wednesday and the exact thing that I would happen, did. "Oh we can't see a break but rib fractures are hard to see on X-ray, here's some anti inflammatory and pain meds." Thanks for nothing. Have felt like crap all week and have consequently have had very little appetite, and I've been sleeping like crap, so we'll see how today goes. Going to spend all day getting psyched for it. 375x5 DL and 238x3 Bench... I got it.

[xRequiem]

Why are you doing triples for bench? Are you alternating 5rm and 3rm?

Sucks about the rip pain. Maybe do front squats lieu back?

[HoneyBadger300]

I'm using more of a building format. I-days I'll do 1RM, the next I-day for bench I'll do that weight for 2, then the next I'll do that for 3, then I up my weight the next time. Same with OHP. So far so good. I feel like the weeks are manageable and I'm not killing myself to keep up with progression in weight, so I won't have to deload. The whole rotation makes it out to be a 6 week cycle because of alternating OHP. So I'll gain 10 pounds on bench every 6 weeks. I may need to do something else for OHP since it's so much lower than all my other numbers.

Thanks for the luck, I checked on Wednesday and it's just the new belt that was jamming my ribs and creating the pain, so I'll either try with a different belt of unbelted today. Maybe 4 inches is just too thick for midget body... I really don't want to get a lever taper belt though, I may as well get it in purple while I'm at it.

Haven't been around my computer since Friday, so here's my workout.

January 25, Week 5
Intensity Day

Mother Phuckin Full Squats!
325 x 5

Decided to use the new belt anyway, because I'm retarded like that. Not really, Wednesday my goal was to find out exactly what messed me up, and I did just that. I used a tad wider stance, and kept a more upright back angle (I didn't let myself get folded in half like Arian11). 5th rep was a helluva grind. Came out of the hole just fine, got to 135* extension and just got stuck... for 3 whole seconds. Finally finished the rep, could only see stars, walked around for a bit until my vision cleared, checked the mirror to see if I blew a vessel in my eye (didn't) but I blew a whole bunch of capillaries in my forehead and around my eyes. Looked like I had rosacea yesterday.

Bench
238x3 Rep PR

Nailed it. Bench is getting a lot better. I think I'll be able to hit 251x1 in 2 weeks with little to no problem.

Deadlifts
You ready for this? I was.
Belted up for my top 2 sets, was very conscious of my torso angle so I didn't crunch a rib.
315 x 2
375 x 5 Rep PR
385 x 1 10lbs PR

Now I see what everyone was talking about last week when they said my 365 was easy. I had to fight for every single rep of 375, crazy how all I did was keep my back tight and focus on pushing the floor away from the bar and they all came up. After the 3rd rep I contemplated leaving it as a triple and hitting the 5 reps next week, but I told myself, "Negged, *******, you've already got your belt on, and liquid chalk on your hands. Quit being a pussy and do it." So I got the last 2 reps, rested a bit, added 10 to the bar, and pulled 385x1 which actually seemed easier than any of the 375x5 reps. No videos this time.

Worked out next a 5'9" 215, BB manlet. Asked if I did bb and I told him, hell no. Showed me a picture of him at a show, I was like, "cool, you should clean up your deadlift form, you'd be able to pull a lot more than 315." Some people just don't understand the whole strength/size thing. (I probably don't either, I'm phucking 165!) Did not have too great of a weekend as far as rest and food goes. Stayed out late friday drinking for the first time in months, and was up late saturday, hardly any appetite today so I'm forcing it, sucks. Back is still sore from deads, going to keep eating and roll it out all week. This week I'll up my V-Day squats to 280 and see how it effects I-Day. 275 might have been too little, which is why 325 was such a grind.

Had a good time watching that BB guy do some assisted/buddy squats. Strangest looking thing I've ever seen in my life.

I didn't think negging irl existed but you made it possible
also that is insane strength for 165bodyweight dude....pretty sure you already knew that though

Most of my irl activities are motivated by how cool I could be on the forums. So yes, I neg and rep, manlet hate, and disrespect women, in irl. (not srs)

Thanks a lot, I guess I don't really think about how strong I am for my bodyweight, since I'm always comparing myself to guys much bigger. I'd prefer to just gain some friggin weight though.

I went to a sk80s (skeighties) party. 30 or 40 of us dressed up in 80s clothes and wore retro skates at skateland (the super ghetto skate center) and tripped over kids, got knocked down by kids, and got yelled at by kids, it was pretty fun. Didn't really strike me as your kinda thing. 12 year old kid tried to pick a fight with me. Told me to come at him. I just laughed and facepalmed... him.

I don't know what any of that is. But in reference to my kind of thing, were there chicks our age there?

No she wasn't there, and I got her number on Monday, called her Tuesday and she just wanted to chat for an hour. We'll hang out soon.

The next time you get on roller skates, bring arian with you and take video. Otherwise negs.

Lol, alright.

Did you spend that hour teaching her how she is retarded for thinking belts weaken your core? Also, did you ask her if she wants to join your weightlifting club brah?

I move very elegant on skates, whether roller or ice. Arian11 IS figure skating! We can skate shirtless too. You can soak in my sweet body.

January 28th, Week 6
Volume Day

Squat
280 x 5
280 x 5
280 x 5
280 x 5
280 x 5

Used the belt, turned my feet out a bit more, kept the same "more upright" position. Felt great all the way to the bottom. None of these were grinders, but my last couple reps were definitely tough. Increase in toe angle really started using some different muscles. I dig it.

OHP
120 x 5
120 x 5
120 x 5
120 x 5
120 x 5

Felt good. I find it easier just to pound them out as fast as possible vs. taking rest time in the bottom position.

Row
180 x 5
180 x 5
180 x 5
180 x 5
180 x 5

Two consecutive weeks of gains after an annoying stall on my Rows. Feels good. Guess I won't hit 185 this cycle, but the 180 just felt so smooth going up and down. I like the Pendlay row, so explosive.

Pumped about the workout. Making some real progress, now let's see if the increase in V-Day weight translates to an increase in I-Day weight.

[xRequiem]

nice VD. enjoying the belt?

TM is amazing man, 285 5x5 was like speed sets yesterday!!!

Yeah it's crazy how much it's helping compared to my old one. The only problem is I'm a small torso'd guy so I have to take extra care to make sure it doesn't jam up under a rib. Great to hear about your 285! I'll have to stop over there and check them out.

[arian11]

nice VD.

You told me you were clean before you stuck it in!

[HoneyBadger300]

You told me you were clean before you stuck it in!

I lied. I also lied about "just the tip." I'm not sorry.

[HoneyBadger300]

Calling out HighFivan. Wore the shortest shorts I own to the gym today. Sliders were peeking out underneath, especially while I was squatting. Bishes were definitely 'mirin. No one would get near me or take a pic-a-roo, so everyone will have to wait until I take a PR video either this Friday, or my max out next week. You gotta quit being so self conscious about dem legs!

January 30, Week 6
Recovery Day

Squat
225 x 5
225 x 5

No belt, just squats.

Bench
166.5 x 5
166.5 x 5
166.5 x 5

Yup... I benched.

Chins
BW +10 x 10
BW +10 x 10
BW +10 x 10

Hypers
BW +25 x 10
BW +25 x 10
BW +25 x 10
BW +25 x 10
BW +25 x 10

I, I, I, I worked out!

I had passion in my pants and I obviously was not afraid to show it. Was totally smuggling grapes in the bottom position of squats, and lockout, and while walking around. You'll see. Oh yeah, and, I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT.

[xRequiem]

GTFO *******
