x2 The confusion on your face at first was awesome.
Nice benching, Swoley McSwolerskates. Have you tried on your singlet yet (I know you have, commando even) and have you work it underneath your regular clothes while going out? Don’t lie!
Greg, I have had the same exact thing happen to me. I loaded up four 45s on a dip belt and tried to do donkey calf raises with it on my calf block at home. First i could barely walk with 4 plates on there. Not enough chain so they were like in my nutsack. That was funny but yeah… it broke the first set. So… no donkey calf raises for me in the garage gym.
scj- I see the most bizarre things at my gym… I guess that’s what happens when at least half the patrons are gay men… Thwy don’t know how to workout lol
Spider & DF- lolz
Clax- yeah I was very confused at first lol. The ankles feeling pretty good, thanks man.
Oregand- hahaha yeah! People sue for nothing these days… Lol. If I was seriously injured I might (like broken ankle/torn ligaments) but I’m ok.
Ink- I tried it on 10 seconds after I got it, are you kidding me? Hahaha I haven’t worn it out anywhere but my buddy said I should have worn it out last night for his welcome home thing lolol. Ill practice wearing it for workouts when the time gets closer… No way I’m lifting at my gym in that only though lolol
DJS- I thought you were gonna say that you were doing dips with 4 plates and I was like “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuh!” haha
Ok so the ankle is feeling ok. It’s a little sore but that’s about it. Gonna still try to get my squat on today. Heading over there soon, I’ll be back to let you guys know how it goes.
Re suing people…
I’m planning on going to law school after undergrad. Soooo, I got an internship a summer or 2 ago working as a ‘file clerk’ (aka bitch) at an insurance defense law firm. The things people sue, and WIN for, are insanely ridiculous, comical, and unjust. Some people are legit and can’t work/need help from a legal pro, but most just want an easy buck. I could go on for hours with stories about the most ridiculous claims in the world, but who wants to hear that?
LOL. Just wear it under your shorts, and with a T on under the singlet, so you can get the feel. Hopefully it doesn’t molest your sack and irritate your groinal hernia thing you had (LOL)when you squat, like my Inzer one did.
Does the dude in the background not realise that if you rest between the various actions in a burpee it kind of defeats the purpose of it… I thought pbclax had the biggest creepers in his workout vids but you are definitely catching up!
Yo Greg, what’s your cheat measuring?
hlss- I cant stand stuff like that. People are lazy and just want handouts… T’s me off. My chick got her pre law degree and worked as a clerk (secretary) for some ballin law firm in Seattle and was making $25 an hour! Thats bad ass lol
Ink- I was thinking of wearing a pair of compression shorts under my singlet to act as underwear… otherwise you can totally see my junk. Thats allowed right?
phlegms- I’m pretty sure he doesnt realize it lol The best was the guy other day who was lying on the bench and was doing flys with the 15s while doing leg raises at the same time! it was amazing.
crzy_eght- whats up? Ummm I’m not sure what my chest is measuring? (assuming thats what you mean) but let me check.
EDIT: Chest measurement… Across the nipples relaxed was just barely under 46. Flexed/lat spread was a little over 48. Hard to keep the tape in place while trying to flex lol
Ok so today was legs day.
Squats 531
235 x 5
275 x 5
310 x 7 (i didnt like these at all. I had some pretty bad knee cave with my right knee because my ankle was hurting and I was compensating. the weight didnt feel heavy and I was good for a few 10+ reps easy but I had 2 big knee cave ins and called it quits)
Reverse Hypers:
45 x 10
90 x 10, 10, 10
45 x 10 (the most INSANE lower back pump of my life. it was hurting so bad. I couldnt even walk upright after this lol)
Leg Press:
3pps x 10
4pps x 10
5pps x 10
6pps x 10, 10
Weighted Crunches w/ the rope attachment:

supersetted with
DB Palm Out Curls:
45 x 10
50 x 10, 10
40 x 10
35 x 10 lol
Really good workout besides the knee cave issue. I got vids of all the squats which I’ll upload later. Didnt face the mirror this time… It was good but the rack sucked so I had to unrack the weight walk it forward, squat and then walk it BACKWARDS to rack it cause the gym doesnt have a power cage that faces away… that was a bummer. All in all a good workout. Weighed in at 214 still.
Yeah that’s what I meant, fucking iPhone lol. Also, I’m curious as to what kind of stuff you were doing when you were gaining muscle.
Dude, wicked workout man. I’ll watch the vids tomorrow and critique, lol
As for the underwear, check the rule book. Some feds are strict about tightywhitey style only, so double check.
LWI dude.
Ps…You had me at hello
Edit: Watched the vids, depth was rad dude, perfection. Knee cave…meh, you know about it and just remember to push them out. Luckily you’ve only gotta do singles at the meet, so you’ll be fine, brah.
fml, my chest measurement is only like 45".
Good squatting bud. Really good depth. Idk if you metnioned it, sorry if I read over it, what weights are you shotting for at the meet??
squats looked good. I wouldn’t do the whole re-racking thing backwards though.
Why not wear a baseball cap and look up at the brim instead? Train yourself not to look in the mirror…no matter how beautiful you are feeling that day
Crzy_eght- I figured that’s what you meant, no worries. When I am/was trying to put on size I do the same thing as when I’m trying to lean up a bit. I’ve always focused on big compound lifts and hit the gym at least 4 days a week. I first started out doing a basic 5x5 program back in the day. When I’m trying to lean up I’ll just throw in a little more conditioning work and I’ll tighten up the diet a bit. Staples of my routine from day 1 have been a bench variation, a squat variation, dips/weighted dips and pull ups/weighted pull ups. No matter what I’m always using those. I didn’t start getting into DL’s until pretty recently. If you want any other info just let me know.
Ink- check the vid and let me know what’s up. Ok I’ll re read that rules booklet and see what they say about undies. I haven’t owned a pair of tighty whiteys in years so I’d have to buy some lol. <3
Bug- yeah but you’re leaner than I am and I have lots of boob fat… Like a woman
Spidey- thanks man. Im working on making sure my squats are deep enough. When I take that wide stance it’s hard to tell when I’m deep… Maybe I’ll try a straight on view next time? I don’t really have set weights that I’m going for really… Just cause I have no idea. But I’m hoping for a total thats over 1,100. TBH I’d be pumped if I could get a 1,200 but i dont think that’ll happen lol
MiM- thanks doll! Yeah the backwards racking thing really sucked. It wasn’t that bad since my top set was only 310 but when those top sets get heavier and are closer to 4 it’ll be a pain! I’ll try the hat thing next time since I wear a hat to the gym anyway. I’ll just pull it down real low. Good idea
Re read my post, I edited it while you were posting. As for the undies, I had to buy some just to compete, to be on the safe side. I don’t know HOW anyone wears that shit WILLINGLY. Fucking uncomfortable as all hell!
Hey, and don’t start saying “I don’t think that’ll happen” about ANYTHING at your meet. Go in, dominate, that’s it.
Dude, I honestly don’t see how you could’t get 1,200 looking at your log. Considering you just started DL’ing, just getting use to the movement will get ya to a 500 pull quick, you definatly have the 400 squat in you, and a 300 bench is in the bag. Looking at those numbers now, I think you honestly could get 1,300. lol, But then again, I know nothing about organized PL. lol.
This question is coming from someone who’s never done a PL comp, and obviously isn’t meant to sound like I’m talking shit 'cause Greg’s my T-Nation buddy, but why run 5/3/1? Wouldn’t it make more sense to run something that has you handling heavier weights since that’s what you’re gonna be doing? Seems to me that you’d want to practice like you play. Either way 12-hundo’s in the bag, just curious.
Those squats looked very solid to me man!
