InfiniteExcel's Journey: To Excel Infinitely.

[InfiniteExcel]

you said you have a long torso, right? you might benefit from high bar actually in that cases

Yeah, my torso is a few inches longer than my legs are.

[racketteer]

Yeah, my torso is a few inches longer than my legs are.

I go high bar for all my heavier attempts because it allows me to stay completely upright during the entire lift. it eliminates all the forward lean you need for a good low bar squat and takes out the weak link of the lower back.

[InfiniteExcel]

A lot of your stance and where to grip the bar can be derived from this vid, definitely give it a watch or 2, makes a lot of sense and is a world class PLer at like 22 or some ****

Great video, I just learned a lot. Repped.

Edit: On spread, lol. I rarely rep anyone.

I may start squatting high bar as well, then. With the hooks my gym has I find it way to uncomfortable to really pull the bar down my back (not muscularly, but in fear of my safety. It's just a city-ran facility with random equipment. There's maybe one employee who's actually knowledgeable about lifting.

They got rid of the lat pull down machine, horrible, horrendous mistake. -.-

Definitely learned something from the video by xkyle10.

Thank you, good sir! They are a fraction of what they're going to be in a couple months time.

Where's the best place to get some bulk protein? Not a sweet sh*t will be given in terms of the taste.

Not sure if you have a BJ's up in Canadialand lol, but that's where I get mine, 5lbs about $32

Online the cheapest I've seen is $39 for a 5lb bag,
http://www.bonanza.com/listings/EAS-...lb-bag/3226737
Even at BB.com its like $55 for 5lbs.

Though shop around locally, I think you could find some for cheap at a bargain store

[D6A6N6I6E6L6]

Get it at costco man, there's a 5lb one for like $25. It's not the best quality obvs, but its dirt cheap haha

Thanks, dawg. Best I've seen is Wal-Mart - 40 bucks for 4 lbs. I've seen deals online, f*ckin 20 lbs for a lil over a hundred...was like DAMN

Costco requirws a membership though =\

I'm at 4000 calories and 220 grams of protein right now. Probably gonna eat a little more. Rest day tomorrow.

[cheesecake0]

hey, thanks brah. Sorry haven't been posting, I dont really lurk on forums anymore apart from posting in mine to keep a record. I've been looking at your vids tho brah so strong keep it up.

No worries, I was doing the same before too lol. Thanks man, very appreciated! Gonna be a heckuva lot stronger in a few months if all goes as planned!

duuuude how do you maintain your size on that little protein?? I eat like 400g and I find if I go under 300, I start shrinking lol

Loooool I think that's all in your head man. Protein becomes most important whenever your body is in a caloric deficit. All that's really NEEDED is a gram/lb of body weight. More protein couldn't hurt but I don't think you need to go through the trouble of eating 400 grams. I eat a lot of fats too, I find they've helped a sh*t ton with the maintenance of my joints and my strength gains.

[parachuter]

135x31..



you have such a strong bench compared to your squats holy

[muscletraps]

Mirin bench & rows man. I don't think I've ever seen someone who benches this much doing madcows. How much are you aiming to hit by the end of the program?

[racketteer]

Where's the best place to get some bulk protein? Not a sweet sh*t will be given in terms of the taste.

if scivation stil;l sells those 10 pound bags for under 100 bucks hop on that sh*t. best tasting cheap protein powder.

135x31..

Hahahah. I could probably hit 135x40-45 on the cgbp fresh.

I'm just coming back from an injury, my squats haven't gone anywhere in the last three months (I've still been able to train upperbody though) so my squats have room to FLY. That and I'm also still perfecting my form so the numbers are gonna get ridiculous

And yes, this is my justification for my low squat compared to my bench

Trained it improperly for 4 months/8 months practically out of the gym/trained it properly for 4 months/2 months off due to working a taxing job/3 months back/3 months off do to injury. Now, I'm back.

Just has me all the more motivated to hit it HARD. Seeing other persons such as SydTheKid, Baco_Bacon etc etc makes me go "...I WANNA DO THAT!" haha. Much respect to those lads.

Mirin bench & rows man. I don't think I've ever seen someone who benches this much doing madcows. How much are you aiming to hit by the end of the program?

Thanks man!

The program has me hitting 375x5 by the end of it! Even if I fall short of that, I still think I'll end up squeezing a lot of this. I've never done a frequency oriented program before.

if scivation stil;l sells those 10 pound bags for under 100 bucks hop on that sh*t. best tasting cheap protein powder.

Pretty good, that's the same price for what I can get locally, though. 10 dollars/lb.

Sounds good, chief! Have you began to cut?

You can put me over 400 rep power?! *PUPPY DOG FACE*

Makes sense, lol. Ya've got ur responsibilities and all that. As old as I feel sometimes, I'm glad I'm young.

Non-lifting Update


-Exactly 24 weeks since I quit cigarettes.

-3+ weeks since I've smoked marijuana last

-Haven't drank in almost 2 weeks. Wanna see how long I can last.
I'm going to try and stay dry until my work situation is stabilized.
Gonna do nothing but benefit gains

-Picked up playing RuneScape again (lol)

How's stopping weed feel?

Great. I feel much more clear minded/experiencing less anxiety.
I realized that a lot of my anxieties were magnified by the pot
My cough has nearly completely diminished
Although, the need to spit phlegm is still nearly constant

so much this

300-400g of protein, notsureiffukinsrs

no offense but that is retarded. LITERALLY overkill and thousands of wasted dollars. 1.3-1.5g/lb of BW MAX, even then isnt really needed until fairly deep in a deficit IMO. the higher the % of your macros dedicated to unneccessary protein intake = lower % for essential carbs and fats. more carbs = less expensive and feelsgoodman. more fats = keeps joints healthy. so win/win

brb spending less and eating more yummy ass foods, brb ****ting less, brb less flatulence/dat dere deathstank, etc

so much win breeeeeeeeeeh





good **** on no cigs, careful though. IMO your dopamine receptors are still active and still looking for something to cling to, in this case runescape. stay safe, IMO make it a USEFUL addiction, pick up books/studying or you said you were getting some work in, use that as a filler breh, stay safe once again

Completely agree with your dietary post. You and I are alike in that sense hahaha, in depth analyze everything (I do that when buying something, trading etc etc)

so much win breeeeeeeeeeh

So true man. I've been keeping my mind occupied with the forums/reading about lifting etc. Just can't wait to start the work that I should be getting in all likelihood.

Been tempted to start doing ******* but nah. Guys I know who do that sh*t actually look like death. So nasty.

You and I seem to be alike in that sense, in depth analysis of everything. I do that when buying/trading something, choosing something etc etc. You into business at all?

Also: I'm gonna take many angles of the squats tomorrow. Gotta nail this sh*t and nail it RIGHT.

[InfiniteExcel]

Time to walk and go stretch. Week two begins tomorrow. Gonna try and get that foam roller tomorrow.

It's not retarded at all, who are you to say the amount of protein required is set in stone? It really is different for every person, for example, some pros eat 400, others eat 600, 800 whatever. That being said, I need a lot of food to be able to make consistent progress and grow. Oh and I eat about 500g carbs and 240g fats per day, so protein is actually the lowest as far as my macros go.

You eat nearly 5,800 calories per day? Holy crap man what do you do in a day lol? You only weigh about 10-15 lbs more than I do and I eat 4-4,500.
