If squatting and deadlifting same day I only warm up once but I still follow the 60 70 80

@Sonic I mean 3 warm up sets for each of the 3 x 5 core lifts i do. So six total sets, three warm up and three working

Gotcha. Thank you!

I haven't been working out, because I've been sick for the past few days. I still don't feel like I'm in the condition to do it. How long until I start losing gains? Should I at least try to do some pushups in my room?

Focus on getting better.

Getting enough protein is good, too.

Protein and rest, bruh

i have bronkaid and caffeine pills to take before I work out, should I add aspirin to the stack?

i know that's done sometimes

Nah aspirin isn't necessary

Are you injured?

40 lbs less than last time I was posting anything. Damn homelessness

But Ayyy still the best lifting tank

Is it good to drink caffeine before lifting?

Will I actually get a better workout in, or will it just make me feel more energetic?

Is there any detriments? I kind of want caffeine sometimes whether it will help me or not, but I don't want it to drag me down.

Other than caffeine tolerance that you build up, you'll just sweat more

If there's caffeine as an ingredient in a pre workout product or mix you make it's fine, especially from green tea. Drinking coffee before lifting is retarded.

Why?

Caffeine is an addictive drug, man. shouldn't have caffeine

@Alexander Volk#7256 Beyond that being your opinion, there is nothing substantial suggesting that having a cup of coffee before you go lift is retarded.

Unless maybe you have an incredibly weak heart that doesn't need the added strain.

Literally nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

To Jacob, yes, a stimulant might give you a better workout if it gets you "in the zone" so to speak. That's literally the entire point of those pre-workout mixes.

Most generally have creatine mixes, which would be the only thing that may ACTUALLY boost your lifts, everything else is just a concentration boost.

just do sips

@Jacob i take ephedrine and caffeine before working out fasted. it ups your heart rate and you burn fat faster

i work out first thing int he morning without eating though

Anybody know of a 1" bar that can hold more than 250lbs?

For 5x5 stronglifts program.

@Sonic See if these guys have anything...

Thanks I'll check it out @Deleted User

@Sonic I would recommend the Ohio power bar. It's only $250, easy to maintain, has phenomenal knurling and integrity, and a weight capacity of like 800lbs

I have one myself and couldn't be happier

The Ohio power is legit. And it looks sexy as hell

My brother has the black chrome, it looks aesthetic and is easier to maintain. I think it's like 40 or 50 dollars more though

It is very aesthetic for sure.

While we're talking bars. I have a bad wrist and using a curl bar kills it. So I would like another alternative. I hate to use an Olympic bar and would prefer one shorter.

@JesseJames I think Rogue sells minies

@Deleted User 👍🏼thanks brother
