my form was fine, I actually felt really good the whole time, and it didn't feel particularly heavy at all. I'm convinced it was just the culmination of doing heavy squats prior, poor belt placement, and high reps
I only felt it after the bad set
I'll edit my peak protocol to be shorter and lower rep as well
in fact I got under the bar again today and felt fine considering
but I'll focus on recovery
Glad to hear that the gains are coming @Steve - NJ
And sorry to hear that @Deleted User, hope you have a speedy recovery (although it doesn't sound too serioud)
Hit 260 bench today
y'all just wait, 300 in no time
I'm jealous lol. Proud of you, bro. 👍
Nice dude. How long has it been taking you to move up. I know bench moves up slowly
Well, the program I wrote took me from 245 to 260 in about 3-4 months
technically 5ish but I'm hardly counting the hypertrophy block I did before hand
Barely felt it
What was the program?
I can't include it in one screenshot because the way I made it in excel (different dropdown options give different schedule information)
But it's one I made roughly based around Candito's deadlift program, mixed with a push pull legs type style
Hit 315 on squat (it's poverty I know, but progress)
I had atleast 325 in the tank as well
Hey better than I can do with these knees 😂
nice @Deleted User same @StevePines -WA
Guy doing shoulder press in the squat rack......is this the 9th circle?
@Mark Vandal New year's resolutioners 🤢
Though OHP in the squat rack is a pretty Chad move
Theres a fat balding nerd doing karate moves with the 10 lbs dumbbells. I swear on my life
>tfw the hottest girl in the gym is working out with some skinny fat looking guy
@Mark Vandal she probably takes birth control pills tbh fam
Poisoning my fucking water supply
^^^Gotta filter that shit.
You guys heard of the Grey Skull LP program? Started it this week.. Came highly recommended from a competitive power lifter friend. I love it so far.
I do DLs for 2x5 then AMRAP instead of the single set of 5.
Similar to SS 5x5 program, but better for multiple reasons.
@Sonic it got my bench up so it must be good.
@ExternalPepsi Nice. That's my main goal as well. Have made good progress in every other lift except bench.
Doing my first push/pull meet in march!
I was going to do the full 3 lifts, but I developed some bad Achilles tendinitis in my left foot so heavy squats are out of the question for a while
Nice man. Do you have the full training plan laid out?
Yeah, I've my training laid out. 8weeks out right now
For someone trying to put on muscle, is it best to isolate muscle groups and work different ones each day? Like Monday - back and biceps, Tuesday - shoulders and triceps, etc. or a compound workout of bench, deadlift, and squat each session? And should I do low reps with high weight? Or medium reps (8-10) with medium or lighter weight? My daily caloric goal is 2500 but I can't seem to find foods that have high calories and are also full of protein. Usually high calories = carbs and fat. Which I know is good to have some but not too much. I need at least 90g of protein per day.
