dunno why that crap is so huge damnit.

fitness goals for 2015 will be to lean out and improve mobility, agility and functional strength.

Great transformation man, keep up the good work.


I remember one of my first programs was the Kris Gethin's 12 week trainer.

It got intense. dropped a lot of fat with that and a good meal plan. (he also has a suggested one)

Wow, that weightlifting gym I was looking into is only 100 dollars for the whole year I can afford to keep my crossfit membership and attend this gym when I have the time

I think I'm in.

Even if I can't make it out there as much as I want to because of the commute, at that price it's worth it

Saturday afternoons are going to be fun (my box is closed on saturday afternoons)

Hit 5x5 on back squat at 290. Had to roll out a little extra though after some KB lunges yesterday.

Just curious, how long do you guys rest in between sets? I normally try to stay around the 1:30 to 2 min range.

Depends on the intensity of the training for me personally. There were some days were my 5x5 was so brutal I took a 10 minute break between sets. 

If you ever try to run Smolov or something similar you can expect to take even longer rest breaks.

Thought about getting this after watching a POG video, tired of spending money though

you can do so much with rice cookers.
I use mine for protein cakes.
also as a mini crock pot.

Funny the views about LA fitness...

There is a IFBB (former I'm assuming) pro that goes to the location I do. She is about 40 and wears a IFBB Ms Florida weight belt and drives a red viper with IFBB PRO on the license plates. Her husband drives a sl amg Benz. I usually see them on machines or using dbs, never bbs fwiw

I have my little brother train with them - he's a freshman at university of Virginia now (wrestles).

They are amazing for building grip strength.

I'am a fan of them - first time I used them were for pull ups....

And man, **** got 10x harder lol.

Man just stop it!! 

I got them same shorts too, love em. What made you ditch the oly shoes and are those cuffs worth buying?

Yeah these shorts are pretty nice, i was waiting forever for a camo short! I dont use flat soled shoes because i wanted to see if i could hit depth without them without too much sacrifice in form. I think i will only use oly shoes if i do high bar.

Yes, the cuffs are worth it only if u have elbow pain, i wear it on my bad elbow and it keeps it warm and compressed, reducing pain. Once my elbow is 100% i will stop using them. I yanked a bar too hard and hurt my elbow a month ago.

Week 1 is in the books. Gonna do some ab work over the weekend and hit the gym next week with the same schedule. I must not be as out of shape as I though because the only major soreness I had was from chest day on Monday is basically gone now (did a lot of stretching, tiger balm massages and bath salts) and I don't feel major soreness in my other muscle groups, just light soreness.

I thought I would be suffering after leg day yesterday (did squats, curls, extensions and calf raises) but I'm good.

 

[heliumclinton]

Tried the brownie quest bar, taste like cardboard rinsed in dishwashing liquid

Also don't think stiff deadlifts are for me, prb went to snap city word to Hodge Twins

 

[based mod]

I've never had any problems with my hammys and never understood how it's such a persistent injury with pro athletes. Did Romanian DLs for the first time yesterday. I understand now

 

[esaw612]

Do you guys have any advice for making your body symmetrical? I had surgery on my left elbow, so my left arm has always been smaller than my right. 

 

[picasso swerve]

Add a few extra reps for your left arm?

Only way I see how.

Good news: doc cleared me to run and do light sports (broke my foot last Feb.). Copped the previous gen Pegasus +30 and yo...very impressed with the Pegasus shoe. Whoever praised it had good reason. Did a light 10 min run on the treadmill and I was money. Even had a little runners high after.

Bad news: 1 set of benching and I waved the white flag. My bicep STILL hurts when I bench. Dont know if its my bicep compensating for the weak rotator cuff I have. If any of you remember I put benching on a couple month hiatus from a chrnlonic bad shoulder/rotator cuff. Been doing the shrug, roll, and drop method and benched well for maybe a month til my left bicep has been giving out lately.

Wierdest part about it? It doesnt hurt at all during actual back/bicep day.

Thats because the bicep tendon runs all the way up the shoulder. Mine bothers me sometimes and I just tough it out. Try tucking your elbows more and keep your core tight throughout the lift.

Thought the deal might have been too good but it was legit. $53 shipped via eBay. Oddly enough, shipped from bodybuilding.com. Guess someone has a side hustle but it's all good for me.
