Proof that the Nutmisc Lifts! (kinda)

[themonkay]

I somewhat got a stamp of approval to this (2 people) but wth...why not??

This is a general lifting chat thread for everyone in the nutmisc to share their accomplishments and learn from each other. Post lifting videos for form checks or to brag, ask advice as the whether you should cut or bulk, see if your routine is as good as you think it is, compare different program structures, talk bodybuilding, talk powerlifting, copy and paste highlights from your own personal logs, and bring anything else to this thread lifting related. Whore yourself out in this thread. It's fine.

The point here is we have an outlet to show that posters of the nutmisc do actually lift.

What is this 'lifting' that you speak of?

[l2ambo]

I'd post PR's but everyone will say I'm juicing, frauding, or any other excuse they can come up with to discredit my lifts. lololol

Edit: I'll bite anyway.

Does anyone know about shoulder discomfort. I have some discomfort in my right anterior delt after my last push day and I'm not too sure what it is. It feels like a dull pain when I elevate my arm all the way up. It doesn't hurt enough to think about going to get it checked out but it's bothering me enough to get a second opinion. Could it be just a knot?

[TypeNirvash]

I'm in. Kind of nice that a thread like this popped up, because I'm about to do a bulk and I'm looking to ramp up my program while I do.

one of those things only low IQ meatheads do

Do it *******. Your discussion/argument in the other thread is one of the main things that inspired me to make this. In this thread we can at least keep a positive spin on it even if there is disagreements.

I do even lift kinda!



Reps for thread when not on spread monkay!

[themonkay]

^^^^^Great to have you in.

Like I said in the log, squats looking much better than they have in the past. Maybe bringing your grip in closer will help keep you tight on the bottom.

I guess I'll test the waters... Here's the 200+ squat for 3 I said I would hit on Sunday.

[VmissileX]

I don't lift.

And i'm invading your thread.




Well Srs question about squat depth...yesterday i was squatting at a friends gym and all he had was a half squat rack:
http://gymgarage.com.au/wp-content/u...uat-rack-1.jpg

I felt It didn't go as deep as i usually do. I shot a video, will upload later...but it doesn't seem to be of depth.

[themonkay]

@l2ambo
^^^^^ nice grind. What routine are you running btw?

@vmissilex
I hate using the fixed squat racks. There's one at my gym. I can hit proper depth on it but the bar almost always hits the safeties.

[TypeNirvash]

This is what I'm thinking of doing for my bulk;

(Will be in the 6-8 rep range for the first week at 80% of 1RM, then moving to the 3-5 rep range at 90-95%, and then de-loading to 60-75% for 10-12 reps)

Chest:
Will be focusing on my upper chest a little more heavily.

Incline Barbell Press: (80% of 1RM, 6-8 reps for 4 sets)
Flat Barbell Press: 4 sets
Incline DB Flyes: 4 sets
Weighted Push-Ups: 4 sets
Push-Ups: 3 sets

Back:
Pull Ups: 4 sets
Chin Ups: 4 sets
Dumbbell Pullover: 4 sets
Barbell Bent Over Rows: 4 sets
Deadlifts: 4 sets
Seated Cable Rows: 4 sets

Legs:
Squats: 4 sets
Leg Press: 4 sets
Leg Extensions: 4 sets
Hamstring Curls: 4 sets

Shoulders:
Overhead DB Press: 4 sets
Bent Over Reverse Dumbbell 21's: 7 repsx3 (3 Different angles)-3 sets
Lateral Raise: 4 sets
Neutral Grip Pull-Ups: 4 sets

Bis/Tris:
DB Curls/Reverse Grip Pulldowns: 4 sets
DB Hammer Curls/Standard Grip Pulldowns: 4 sets
Barbell Curl/Tricep Extensions: 4 Sets
Chin-Ups (Mainly pulling with biceps): 4 sets

Will experiment with sets/etc as the bulk progresses. I think it's a pretty standard workout

I'm running sort of a mix of routines TBH. Sort of a LPP, 5/3/1, 5x5 variation. As a definitive answer I'd say LPP. I did just start lifting so I'm easing my way into the routine, it's not in full boar yet.

I kept banging the safeties and felt depth lacking.

Will retry later this week without fixed bars,

[themonkay]

This is what I'm thinking of doing for my bulk;

Nothing wrong with a typical bro split when done correctly but in that scenario I would ask why not just do pull-push-legs? Your routine only has you hitting legs once a week, and its the day after deadlifts. With pull-push-legs you can at least hit everything twice a week and make better use of your time than having an arm day.

Ah! It wasn't in any particular order, actually.

But push pull legs is pretty legit--forgot to add accessory work in there as well. Will be doing calves twice a week as my quads/hams are pretty decent but the calves are lagging. Definitely will look into push-pull-legs, though!

EDIT: True that, I don't really need an arm day.

Are you doing DE squats?
If so, how do you like them? I've never tried them before

[DAaaMan64]

This. I don't understand why these even exist. Improper depth is harder on your knees then proper depth.

[TypeNirvash]

I get pretty low. It'd be awkward to be stopped mid-way through the motion.

The way most people do half squats, yeah they are. Half squats done correctly (making sure the bar stays behind the midline of your foot) are pretty awesome for quad hypertrophy, but honestly, that extra effort might as well go to full squats anyways lol.

[digistp]

yup, feelsgoodman

dat burn

[VmissileX]

Im certain my squats were half...the second i went down the bar kept hitting the fixed peice...and i didn't even feel i went full in depth

[themonkay]

yup, feelsgoodman

dat burn

I've only deadlifts for DE.

Felt awkward lol

[CycoCyclone]

In on this! I've actually never had anyone critique my squat or bench form. I got legs tonight and chest tomorrow I will post some vids and would love your feedback.

god no....
lol

I'm always happy to offer any advice from what I can see, but I myself am still a beginner when it comes to knowing all the intricacies of proper form. I'm really hoping some of the very knowledgeable posters of this forum decide to join this thread.

Still, post every video you record of yourself lifting in here. The goal of this thread is to get as many eyes as possible to help everyone out

[Lvisaa2]

You're doing as many sets for your biceps as you are for your legs (which legs incorporate multiple muscles). You lack frequency. 1x/week while may be "standard" it is not in the best interest of gains. I do appreciate that you've stuck to more of the compounds and have a planned progression, but I also don't think you'll need a deload every third week. I suggest getting on a program written by someone with a little more experience then adapting it as you go to fit your individual needs/preferences.

And the DYEL thread worked because there were a bunch of both knowledgeable and helpful posters. I'll do my best to give some advice when I pop in (as I think this is more admirable then just bs'ing in the chat thread), but without multiple good contributors, it is going to be hard to keep it going.

Stoked about hitting 100 x 3 yesterday... a year ago I started barely even being able to press 60.. Also OHPed 165 x 1



Bench has went from 145 x 3 ----> 210 x 5 in 5.5 months.. so I'm happy.


A year ago..






And then joined the 1,000lb club 2 days ago.. 230 bench, 345 squat, and 435 DL. Best month I've had for the entire time I've been lifting.




Exactly a year ago, things were so much different.

Max bench: 125 x 1
Max Deadlift: 225 x 1
Max squat: 145 x 1

^^^^ Congrats man! That's awesome!
