Am I missing something in my math?
tf
Have never calculated it myself tbh
Idk what to make of it. Maybe there's something I'm missing.
Either way I've got my workout so Imma keep doing what I'm doing.
anyone following the olympia?
not really but I saw a video title saying big remy was out of conditioning, and some black competitor looks like eore from Winnie the poo?
Lol i would say thats kai greene but hes not competing. kinda lame that ramy didnt bring his best package, phil is going to get his 8th for sure
been sick with a respiratory infection since Friday but got some corticosteroids and now feel amazing. Time to get on that platform boys...
getting sick is for pussies
haha y-yeah i-i was just kidding! lol!
rumor has it identitarians are physically incapable of sickness
It's weird, but when I'm in great shape, lifting hard, etc. The closest thing I've been to sick in years is a sniffly nose
Lol @ Phil winning an 8th, conditioning was off, I hope Roelly wins next year
Also Hit a 5x5 squat pr so that was nice
@Steve - NJ and I got a solid lifting sesh at the Brick house today
A E S T H E T I C
Borthers (and sistars) I have been doing 5x5stronnglifts Turkish meme routine (with keto, morning fasts, and off day sprints) for a month. Started really low to ensure good form. Making good gains in mass and less body fat, weights on bar going up by 5 or 10 every time. Still rookie numbers but I am a recovering skinnyfat lanklet (although I can chop wood and portage a canoe as good as any man).
I am in an unrelated absurd gen ed PE class. Today for "lab" we did our one rep maxes on bench and squat. I had never tried before because I often do the doomer alone night lift and have no spotters.
POINT IS, is it normal for my 1 rep max to be so close to my easy 5x5? Within 40 lbs. I am borderline moron so please be patient, thank you.
Just seemed weird to me.
Didn't even know those were a thing
No idea what that is lol
See if your results match up with online 1RM calculators
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN dealing with heavy weights is a skill in itself. If you have been doing volume work like 5s most of the time and have never tried going heavier with lower reps, then it's certainly going to take a bit for your body to get used to that extra intensity. It would be one thing if you tried hitting g a heavy triple..but hitting a 1rm for the first time is tough physically and mentally since you aren't acclimated to it yet.
Gotta agree with Nick
Makes sense, thanks..Without a spotter I can't Max too often, but I'll keep it in mind
Pr on deadlift today
Couldn't finish out my last set on the bench today. Disappointing. Felt kinda low energy, haven't been eating my carbs like I should be
You can also try resting a bit longer, sometimes you need that 3-5 minutes to shake out fatigue
Best post workout meal there is
💪🏻

Where do you guys go to purchase your weight lifting equipment?
