The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

For weight gain? This could be part of the issue.

Consider dropping the TM. You can still smash rep PRs in the mainwork, but the supplemental work won’t beat you up as much.

Yeah, I recently realized that maybe it wasn’t the best plan. I just wanted to keep things simple to get the hang of the program. Like I said a couple of days ago, my plan is to start a very aggressive mass gain phase after this cut, which will probably consist of a couple of cycles of BBB followed by a run of BTM. And a lot of food.

Sounds like a solid plan. If you haven’t already, check out “BBB Beefcake” from Jim’s blog. I like the look of it.

I confess that I didn’t properly read the 10,000 swing workout article the first time and upon starting it last week, I ran it 5 days in a row - you’re not supposed to do it for more than 2 days in a row. My hands are sore in ways I can’t describe. I woke up today and spent 20 minutes dunking my hands in and out of ice water.

It’s all good, if she doesn’t get enough foreplay for the next couple weeks, I’ll just direct her to the nearest climbing gym. Plenty of grip strength there.

So this is my current situation. At a public park with a walking track. Very introvert. Sitting in my truck looking like a creeper contemplating getting out. This is why I don’t do public gyms.

At least you’re going to cary it. I’d probably just end up pushing it around and pretending I’m a choo-choo.

And that might as well be my confession for the day.

That’s a quarter mile. Not unreasonable to be a little tight after that.

I feel like a failure in regards to conditioning and intensity because I’ve never had rhabdomyolysis
God knows I’ve tried. I guess im just beta

What does it actually take to get rhabdomyolysis from weight-lifting/exercise?

Is it based on going way beyond your current level of ability? Cause I think a really trained individual will have a much higher tolerance compared to an untrained individual.

I hate it when I find out things like this are actually a thing.

Not sure what the deal is with guys bumping threads that are over a decade old as of late. Considering most of the people involved in those threads have not been active on here for almost as long.

Maybe they’re using the search function on the forum instead of posting a redundant new thread?

That’s probably not true though…
