RANT: R.I.P. Tyrbolift

[GeneralSerpant]

I share your frustration with it and have discussed it with the admin. Spent hours, days, deleting pages of it only it was like pissing in the wind. Even contacted the ISP and that was time I won't get back. I believe a minimum post requirement was put in place a couple of weeks ago. I'll look into it again.

What I've been asking for is new forum software. vBulletin is stuck in 2005. We need new tools. Members deserve a mobile friendly UI. Typing this on my phone right now was torture.

Dom if you’re short on time then I have extra.

Picking up the morning paper.

Thanks Brother.

Don't you know any admin that could get rid of all the clickbait fake threads/spam ads? Someone that could make a rule like "A new user with less than 100 posts can only create a thread in a time frame of 24 hours"?

My experience from Moderating other boards is that just causes new members to spam the board with 100 posts so they can create the thread.
.

Cant imagine these spammers are actually getting much payback benefit from this practice.
Id say its more likely a systemic effort to discourage forum-type discussion platforms & to encourage newer social media use where advertisers can more efficiently harness mass psychology stats.

Sup?

50 crew checking in. I’ll hit it in August.

I still lift weights. Training is good and consistent. True story: I show up at the gym at 5:00 and don’t get into work sets until 6:10. True story.

5:00 - cold plunge, 5 min. at 40-45 degrees
5:05 - get dressed and have some pre-WO nutrition
5:30 - Daily warmup:
Jefferson curls (deficit) 2 x 12
Goblet squats on a VMO board 2 x 15
Dead hangs - random times
5:45 - Specific warmup for the day’s lift

Currently doing 4 days/week, upper/lower

Lots of Zercher squats, paused squats, deficit deadlifts, and box deadlifts or rack pulls. Upper stuff is all types of OHP and bench, tons of pullups and rows. The owner of the gym I’m at has a lot of cool toys that I’ve never had the chance to play with before, so it keeps the training fun. Yokes, logs, sandbags, landmines, reverse hyper, belt squat. Also, I purchased a deadlift bar at the recommendation of Knowles, and it’s awesome.

Been focusing on OHP since it always sucked. Happy to report I finally strict pressed 205 lbs. Pathetic for a 250 lb. man, I know. Focusing on bench press is one of the few true regrets that I have in life (especially since I never got great at it). My 18 year old son was heading down the same road to bench press perdition, falling in love with 245 lb. bench at a wiry 180 and thinking he had accomplished something. I shared with him the error of my ways, and he has since course corrected and worked up to a respectable strict OHP of 165.

Side note: The “cautionary tale” ploy to get my kids to focus on doing things right is a tactic I didn’t realize was going to be such a big player in my parenting repertoire. Turns out the dumb shyte I did as a young Lenchito has a use after all!

I put a Zercher squat/farmers carry vid on the ol’ YouTubez, should you find yourself at a loss for something to view.

Saw Don’s comment that many of us are only 3 or so years from two decades in this here thrad. Mind blowed.

You should work triceps more.

What about stiff-leg deadlifts?

[Lencho]

Lol, those are just my regular deadlifts.


I like good mornings with an SSB better than SLDLs. I do work some RDLs in from time to time, though.

Oh wow a whole day, huh?

[GeneralSerpant]

Most definitely means what we understand as a "push day."

[Lencho]

Sometimes two days. If I've learned anything from this forum, it's that your tricept makes up 5/8rds of your arms.

[GeneralSerpant]

I actually split up my workout between posterior and anterior muscles and train triceps on back day with my hamstrings.

Put on your GNR tank and show him how an All District '91 presses overhead.

LAMO, the GNR tank was in the wash. Had to go with Judas Priest. 😎

[demike]

I work my triceps so they look decent in a t-shirt.

Hope you guys been well.

[GeneralSerpant]

I do about 3/2 the variation of triceps exercises to biceps exercises. My biceps exercises get pretty peak performance though.

Lamo, I ran across this just now:
