Ended up dropping 4ish kg, will see what its done to my strength during next weeks program.
Will take a few weeks to get strength back mate.
I ended up having a heap of time off due to various reasons and the main one is i kept getting sick on and off for about 6 weeks. Started back this week and very impressed with how strong i am considering. But sore... Wow never have i got this sore from training. I dont want a break like this ever again i can barely move haha

What else was on the car to make that power? Injectors, afm, fuel pump?
-
so i'm starting crossfit soon. just a bit bored with the general bodybuilding and powerlifting things i've been doing these past few years, and i'll be focusing on olympic lifting too at this place
opinions? advice?
Be careful... Most of your mates will pay you out..

have tried the hook grip trigger but I'm led to believe prolonged use of that technique can cause permanent loss of feeling in your thumbs...
Hate to break it to you if you are concerned about health and body parts being injured weightlifting is the wrong game
Eating what you have to do to get strong and big and lifting ridiculous weight is far from good on any of your body.
Plus you only need that grip on your final lifts. Its not like you are doing it all day every day

Use chalk as well.
Also if you lock your thumbs under your palms it wont fail it works like straps.

Curious to get peoples opinions/views on straps when deadlifting...
So I have only just begun using straps.......I only revert to straps once my grip fails and I'm unable to complete a set.....til then both my hands are in the overhand grip position......
Now until resorting to straps in the last few months I had always used the 'mix grip' even at lower weights.....
This was until I saw how much my rib cage etc. seemed to twist once I watched myself on video hence now going to straps.....
Just curious to know what you guys do......
You can use double over hand grip but you have to tuck your thumbs in so they lock. It hurts but it works. Not good for high volume.
Really best suggestion is persist with out straps and work on your grip strength.
I had same issues and have been working on it since. Alternate grip makes me twist when i lift which in turn puts my pelvis out.
My forearms have gotten a lot bigger since ditching the straps
-
To fully rebuild an engine and make it stronger with forged pistons rods etc.
Got quoted about 10k from race pace - Their quality of work is top notch tho
Appears there are so many arrogant pricks on this forum
I would have to agree the guy only asked an approx cost. Few ego problems
Good on you piggaz

Ok had no spotter so did 10x 90kg then did 140 easy could have pushed for 2 or 3 but decided to set the squat rack up and try 150 and failed. Going to try fresh with a spotter in a few days.
I failed 3/4 of the way back up so got a feeling i talked my self into failure. Back on the horse and try later in the week
-
Yeah i will play it safe. I believe mindset has a lot to do with strength too. A failed lift always sets me back a bit, even when needing a spotter. Even though me and my mates train a bodybuilding style of training we are all VERY competitive and everyone cops constant ribbing hahah.
And will have a spotter cant risk injury anymore than i do
-
will do it either tomorrow or sunday will post results.
Might give 150 a bash first and not get ahead of my self

10 reps of warmup weight, 5 reps light weight, 3 reps medium weight then do 1rm
Thanks L33SH ill give that a go.
In your powerlifting point of view if i can get 8 reps out at 120kg for 6 sets i should be reasonably ok with 155 for a single? Or should i aim a bit lower?
-
all my 1rm have been at the end of lots of volume with decent weight. I want to try and not be so rooted when i try. I was thinking a set of 10 with just the bar then set of 5 with 1 plate each side then was going to have a bash at 155kg
-
Going to try my 1rm for bench tomorrow. Whats the best way to go about this as in warm up? Can tell i am not from the powerlifting side of things hahah
-
AFM could be an issue. We had similar issues on idle but no significant pops but turned out to be afm or injectors. Replaced both
-
Seems i have agrevated my left elbow. A tiny bit lower from the point and ive got a bit of pain. Nothing serious but its noticeable and uncomfortable.
Tennis elbow i am thinking. Not to sure how to help it
Cut out angry masturbation
On a serious note go see a professional or if you are sure its tennis elbow you can buy straps for them at the chemist cheap as.
-
sitting about 95kg birds was 98 but sickness knocked me around and looking a bit sloppy and strength has gone down a bit. Few things contributing to that though.
I never try 1RM when im fresh like i should though.
I have shit flexabilty in shoulders to from the recon. Have to have a pretty narrow grip for bench.
I only lifted that weight because i was training with someone else. Usually wouldnt go over 100kg bench prefer to get more reps out.
But after i try have a bit of a break might change things up a bit.
-
If it hurts your elbow go lighter and just do higher reps. My shoulder is buggered after a shoulder recon and i dont lift heaver than 12kg dumbells.
-
Been months since i have tried a single i think the last was 140kg i would be thinking close to 150 now but like to focus on incline with dumbells as its a lot more comfortable and with my bodybuilding style of training builds muscle where i want it.
But did 120kg for 6 sets of 8 reps few weeks ago training with a mate when i was crook too. I have no idea where the strength came from. Just lucky i kept the food up a guess. Last set was pretty sloppy and needed a spot for last 4 reps or i would have bailed it.
Dead has stalled the last 6 months at 220kg and when ever i go heavy lower back gets real sore. Pretty sure its form related. Going to try attending a powerlifting gym a mate trains at when im feeling 100% to get some 1RM happening properly as form is an issue once i go heavy with dead and squat.

My shoulders are shit
Lots of side raises with straight arms none of this bent arm bullshit you see 80% of people in the gym. Dont have to be heavy either. mine grew most with 7-10kg dumbells. Then burn them out after with with the cables again not heavy 5kg max and then drop it down and rep it out.
Front raises you can go heavy and form can slide a bit once you go heavier.
Even better superset both.
I dont actually shoulder press that much. More so a few light sets to warm up and one heavy set and thats it.
It was amazing to see the difference and how fast. Only over a few months. I seriously looked about 15kg bigger with wide shoulders.

5+ workouts a week? fk that, where do you guys find the time and how does that not mess with your recovery...unless you're doing one exercise each day? That's like a competing powerlifter training schedule.
Used to workout 4 days a week and since having switched to 3...I'm never going back. Sometimes even just twice a week and it doesn't impact much if it's occasional. Also only 4 exercises total.
Best I've ever looked and strongest too. I've reckon devoting a lot of time to those major exercises is the way for anyone but an advanced/competing bodybuilder or powerlifter. Keeping it simple and majoring in the majors.
Now watch as I nazi everyone into my workout regime again...
Mon chest and biceps
tues quads
wed shoulders
thurs back n tri
friday hams anf calves
sat arms
If i have time off i have to ease back into it but body gets used to recovering in that time
Always about an hour in the gym except for shoulders they about 40min but my strongest body part too
-
Yeah im on average 6 days a week no cardio. If i add cardio i dont drop any weights days either.
Been riddled with sickness lately been thinking about having a full month off. Dont think that will happen every time a try it doesnt even last a week. Did someone say ADD i can never sit still!

Did a bit of boxing this morning. No gloves..
Ahh we are not talking about sex anymore....
-
I get yearly blood tests and I don't know about full panel, but my testosterone range always falls within normal...perhaps it could benefit from a minor boost...but there are other glands and hormones responsible for libido and they may be taxing me. I'm sure the hypothalamus in all it's regulatory glory would be impacting it somewhat. I seem to get libido in phases...can have a couple weeks of constant sex drive where I can't think of anything else, followed by very little interest in it for a couple weeks. It's weird. Prolly aligned to the moon phases lol
A lot of it has to do with tiredness and energy, I know this much. After a heavy gym session of high intensity or even with doms and fatigue the next day, the last thing I feel like doing sometimes is something energetic like having sex. Where this is a big problem is that your partner can take it personally and think it's a problem with them, lack of attraction etc. when it's a problem with you.

I got 220kg dead lift last night with sore legs from 2 nights before so happy with that. Bench has sufffered but did heavy dumbells first. did 6 sets of 8 with the 46kg dumbells then flat bench straight after with just 80kg with 5 sets all to failure. After that did the incline hammer strength machine with 40kg each side. Safe to say i can hardly move at all today.
