Thanks, next week I go to 5x10. Hoping to run that to 365 then deload and hit some strength blocks

>tfw want to lift heavy but also be cut

I eagerly await bulk season

Winter

I have a good copypasta

This cold snap were having is killing my gym time.

Garage gym and 35 degrees=gym cucking

-5 Aryan points for me

Take cold showers and build cold tolerance

literaly just go outside in the cold more

and wear relatively warm enough clothes

you'll find once you get started, you'll be wanting to take layers off instead

Ya I start every workout in 3 layers, hoodie over sweatshirt over shirt. Then sweats over shorts. After two warmups I’m gtg. I walk to my gym tho

This is not normal

So far April is a bust, I hate running on the treadmill

just put clothes on 😁

White people run in the snow

It gets really icy and I don't want to fall

>Phone died so now have to wait for it to charge back up so I can listen to my music while lifting

@Suomi Stronk

I'm just gonna binge watch Metapocalypse until it's changed

Just found the whole series on Hulu

You shouldn't need music if you're truly dedicated to gains...

I'd rather not listen to people speaking Spanish while I'm listening @The Huwhyte Ulf - VA

any cues to protect the low back on deadlifts? gets harder as I move up in weight

@Pat-MA My motto is if you're feeling it in your back, you're not doing it right. Focus more on using your legs and keep your chest up

but you definitely will feel it in your lower back to an extent though right?

To an extent, yes, but I fix it by proper stretching prior and after the workout

Focus on strengthening your lower back if you're having a lot of issues

I feel it in my low back a good amount. It doesnt hurt or anything

Also, try doing hex bar deadlifts if regular deadlifts are bothering you too much

isnt that the same thing as a squat though

Benedikt Magnusson told us at a seminar to lean back like you're almost falling backwards, then pull

It saves strain on the back

Unless you're doing sumo, in which case only God can help you

Not really, IMO. @Pat-MA

Appreciate it boys

Hex bar I feel in my glutes like a mofo. I work up to 4 sets of 5 then halve the plate number and go for 20

Last night I had my first workout on my new home gym. It was magical. I did squats, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press.

All of the essentials^
