Whelp. Guess the summer cut begins

2018-05-23 21:42:47 UTC  

Tbh 1rm calculators are only accurate when inputting your 4-6rep maxes

2018-05-23 21:43:02 UTC  

Any less and they under shoot, any more and they overshoot it

2018-05-24 19:43:24 UTC  

What did you eat before your attempt?

2018-05-24 19:43:30 UTC  
2018-05-24 19:47:24 UTC  

Hmmm, I made sure I carbed up and was hydrated

2018-05-24 19:47:55 UTC  

cereal for breakfast, Gatorade right before/during

2018-05-31 23:22:23 UTC  

I might have to start using the sissy pad when I squat. Huge red mark across my back

2018-05-31 23:35:25 UTC  

just squat more till you find that comfortable spot

2018-05-31 23:35:59 UTC  

I squatted shirtless so I forced that to fix itself

2018-06-01 00:19:56 UTC  

Nice. Its not that its uncomfortable so much...but my gf was like what happened to your back?

2018-06-01 00:20:00 UTC  

I've had my back develop a patch of rough skin, almost like a scab, quite a few times over the years

2018-06-01 00:20:28 UTC  

Ah I would rather do that @BigBadSaxon - ID

2018-06-03 17:43:34 UTC  

I have spots on my shoulder blades from the gnarling of the barbell from squating. It's all just part of the process.

2018-06-03 18:40:34 UTC  

dont use the pussy pad

2018-06-03 20:59:33 UTC  

Anybody here have some recommendations for a primer on weightlifing programming, specifically for the deadlift? like the concepts of properly building up to a new 1RM

2018-06-03 21:07:33 UTC  

5x5 stronglifts + the app will probably do you good

2018-06-03 21:09:14 UTC  

Is that useful for any experience level? I thought that was more geared towards novices, but maybe Im confusing it with something else

2018-06-03 21:19:39 UTC  

It'll work fine for beginners

2018-06-03 21:36:36 UTC  

Well, I definitely dont qualify as a beginner. I'm pulling around 520 at 250BW, but I havent been pleased with my progress the last few months, and I think my workout plans could be more well rounded. Basically, I am more curious about the concepts behind organizing a program, rather than one specific program. Just wondering if anyone has good book or article recommendations.

2018-06-03 22:36:47 UTC  

ah

2018-06-03 22:37:45 UTC  

Idk, try researching if sheiko had written anything about it or other great strength coaches

2018-06-03 23:52:03 UTC  

Sheiko probably has something

2018-06-03 23:52:09 UTC  

But it might be in russian

2018-06-09 12:51:30 UTC  

Awesome vid. Those guys put out quality content

2018-06-10 13:46:54 UTC  

Finally hit 315 deadlift again after a disc herniation in december. Always keep pushing forward guys.

2018-06-10 15:26:48 UTC  

Ouch, good job

2018-06-10 17:00:01 UTC  

Nice work @Steve - NJ

2018-06-10 23:35:05 UTC  

Nice job dude

2018-06-11 12:03:10 UTC  

Just need to get back to 405, but need to take it slow this time

2018-06-11 17:55:40 UTC  

Nice dude. How long do you think that will take? I am at about 315 DL too

2018-06-11 18:54:24 UTC  

Before i hurt my back it took about a month of just doing mainly squats, DL, etc to jump from 315 to 405

2018-06-11 18:55:58 UTC  

Will prob take around two months max just cant be stupid this time since youre never 100% after a disc herniation

2018-06-11 18:56:52 UTC  

I also ate a lot more than I usually do when I was lifting last winter

2018-06-11 19:11:55 UTC  

Dude that is some pretty fast gains

2018-06-11 19:12:22 UTC  

How many times a week were you deadlifting and squatting

2018-06-11 19:24:38 UTC  

I only think my gains were so fast was because of how much I ate and the fact that I've lifted for 8+ years but stuck mostly to isolation excercises until getting into DL's and squats

2018-06-11 19:26:02 UTC  

But i only did deadlifts once a week, just would do around 6 sets of squat and deadlift whenever i went to the gym

2018-06-11 19:32:26 UTC  

Ate rice and chicken/steak almost every night lol

2018-06-11 19:49:02 UTC  

@Steve - NJ man I'm sorry about your disc hernia 🙏 , good work getting back up

2018-06-11 20:28:41 UTC  

Thanks!
