dafuq did I just watch?!
Good squatting though, 'mirin the form.
it’s active rest brah, u unaware? CT’s brand new technique that I’ve had black ops top secret access to.
I imagine hanging out with you IRL would be a blast. Great fun again.
Now I’m looking forward to the next video.
<3 Iron Maiden. I’ll have to acquire some to put on my MP3 for tomorrows workout.
Impeccable taste in music.
teach me how to active rest plz
Lold/10
Squats looking sessi tho, solid lifting breh.
You ever taken a Barbell and rolled your calf? If you haven’t, i highly recommend, instead of a Deload.
If its extremely tight make sure you have no one around when you do it, as you will most likely cry and vomit at the same time (SRS).

This, oh god this. It will hurt so good. SMR on a barbell also works really well on your tris.

Damn, pressure is on. Next week might be boring because it’s a deload!
We should organise a European BoIz meet up at some point!

Yeah I’ve done that and yeah it hurts like hell, I was making all kinds of ridiculous faces! haha. I also have a foam roller, tennis ball and a softball (which is actually rock hard) all ready to go.
Unfortunately it’s proper tendinitis and not just a tight calf. The calf got overstretched from overuse and is now chronically inflamed. Will take some icing and some rest. Pretty boring but oh well.
I’m not taking the deload because of it though - that was planned. If I didn’t have a deload I’d continue training through the pain anyway because I’m an idiot lol.

Hmmm, I might have something similar as my calf seems to always get stupid tight in one spot whenever I up my frequency of squatting/front squatting, ie. during smolov.
Could be Phlegms, could be. If it’s chronic (doesn’t go away in 24 hours) then it could be tendinitis. It doesn’t affect my squatting strength but it does affect my jumping and springing off that leg.
This week’s gonna be pretty boring training-wise since it’s a deload but mother of god do I need it.
Deload
Warmups: 20 band dislocates, 20 pipe dislocates
Bench:
20kg x 15
60kg x 5
80kg x 3
90kg x 5 x 2
Felt heavy LOL definitely needing this deload.
Back Lever - Tuck:
10s
10s
10s
10s
10s
10s
Easy.
Bodyweight Rows on Rings:
10
Had my feet on the bar with knees bent. Felt pretty nice doing them like this actually.
Notes:
In’n’out workout, got some movement in. Feeling incredibly drained especially since I went out on the weekend and haven’t had much sleep. Had a nice contrast shower after this workout.
Mini-essay alert.
=================================================
Why do we do this?
It’s a question I get asked a lot by my non-lifting friends. They want to know why, how much, how much more. They’re never satisfied by any answer I give them because they don’t understand that my motivation is intrinsic.
It comes from within.
They seem confused by the fact that I don’t plan on not doing this at any point. This weekend a friend kept asking me when I was going to stop. They said “so when you reach your goals you’ll just stop?”
They don’t get that goals are just a small part of the process; once I hit my current ones I’ll set new ones. It’s the journey I’m really interested in. The benefits I seek and crave the most are the ones that no-one can see or quantify and they don’t come at predetermined or predefined moments. They come when you least expect them and often when you most need them. Continual growth in all aspects of life is what I’m after but most people don’t share that drive. They’ve bought in to the modern myth of being content and seem to think that our struggles in life are for a defined “end”.
Ends are illusory and transient, they are just another part of the process. With passion, consistency and drive they quickly fall and new ends are sought.
This is why my love for my iron brothers online is genuine - they are among the few who understand all this.
Why do we do this? It’s personal. It’s individual. It’s not something I can explain to someone who doesn’t lift over Jaegerbombs at a nightclub.
I do this for the journey, for the struggle; for me.
Great speech. I share your feelings.
Reading that has given me a sudden urge to go fuck some weights up!
Glad you guys liked it!
Good training in here. You’re definitely pushing Demi-God mode, at the very least.
Oh, and plz teach mi howz tuh Bench?

Great mini-article Jab1. The never-ending journey of self-improvement is what it is all-about.
Ps. People asking you about quitting after you met a goal is like people asking a guitar player about quitting guitar when he for instance can play a Hendrix solo.

Further to this, if I could play Sweet Child of Mine all the way through, I wouldn’t consider my life complete. Even if I could never learn anything else I would still enjoy playing it for what it’s worth.
Ya digg?
