LOL , yes , it happens all the time to me , especially when i do my upper body split that has 7 exercises.
This week i had the exact opposite thing happen , i started 11lbs heavier than i wanted to. And i was "WTF , why am i so weak?". Turns out i benched 3x8 with a weight i was only able to do 6 reps for 1 set last time.  ;D

Haha, that's awesome! Guess you're not as weak as you thought.  :strong:

It's 9:59. Leaving work now.

he's the first to show up & the last to leave, that LBSS is a hard worker.


My boss certainly thinks so  ;D.

This will all be worth it if A) I get a decent raise at the end of the year and B) I get an ass-kicking recommendation from my boss for whatever job and/or grad school I apply to next.

That dude has really flexible hips. I don't think I could get my butt that far off the bench. Not that I'd try, though.

You don't like donuts? WTF?

Ads only show up as text on my computer. And it's all ads for where to place ads.

Hm, maybe it's a chicken/egg thing. I reach more naturally with my left hand, even though I'm right handed, because my left shoulder is higher than my right because (presumably) of years of throwing.

OHP 3x5x95

Should have been 3x5x125. I warmed up and ended up with 25# on each side of the bar. "Aha!" I thought to myself. "Now it's time for the work sets."

They felt super light and I thought to myself, "Holy crap, I'm stronger than I thought! Alright!" Not until I was replacing the plates did I realize my mistake.  :-[

Also, some hilarious news came the other day. My club ultimate team, which fizzled out absolutely at the end of last season and which everyone thought had died a quiet death, may be coming back. The reason: We're named Orange Joose, after the caffeinated malt beverage. Equivalent of eight cups of coffee and three beers in every .5L can. The makers of Joose were doing some trademark research and when you Google "orange joose," 5 of the first 6 links are to our team.

Instead of suing us, they've offered to sponsor us: buy us jerseys, discs, probably a big banner to hold up at tournaments and, assumedly, lots of Joose.

God, I hope this happens. If it does,  :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Greedy, greedy, greedy.

Because this has been nagging at me for a while, here is a list of material things I want:

1) Risto or Do-Win lifting shoes
2) Bloodlands, by Timothy Snyder
3) 1491, by Charles Mann
4) A meal at Komi, Minibar, Citronelle, CityZen, etc. (That is, a fucking awesome fancy-ass meal.)

Well yeah... too many eggs aren't toxic or something?

In terms of cardio - that will burn calories... and I can barely take too many to aid in muscle growth already. That's my issue. And I've started to eat really clean these last few days and plan on continuing with that. Hopefully some recomposition will occur.

Two things:

1) Eggs will instantly put your body in a catabolic state. I'm talking as soon as you put them in your mouth, kiss your muscles goodbye. In other words, for fuck's sake, no, too many eggs are not toxic.

2) Light cardio will not burn very many calories, and can help recovery. Don't think intervals, think nice long walks, easy biking, easy rowing, elliptical, etc.

@adarq: This is gonna sound like whining, but there was literally no space to do ME jumps until like 8:15, IOW until I was over an hour into the workout and had done my squats and everything. ME would have been, ahem, weak. I can usually get there either early or late, but yesterday the timing just sucked.

So, you might call that stupid, but it wasn't the stupid thing I was talking about.

nice workout mayne! decide against training at SSPT?

Thanks man. Yeah, for now I think it's just too far away. My gym is getting crowded as hell most weeknights, which is annoying. But the location just can't be beat.

Starting to think I'm going to come out of this little stretch without much improvement at all. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I did something extra idiotic during tonight's workout. Bonus points to anyone who can figure out what it was.

warm up
jump rope
foam roll
core stretches
more jump rope

work
tuck jump 2x15
pogo 2x5
REA squat 2x3x95
jump squat 3x3x95 -- last two sets felt pretty good
squat 5x275
OHP 3x5x95
chin up 3x5xbw+35
crunches 3x20+45
side plank x45s/ea

cool down
stretch

So after downing 15 pounds of protein powder in last 2-3 months I have swithced to true protein based on recommendations from this forum. I have tried, Cel whey, ON Gold whey before. True protein came in a plain carton and plain bag with no lables, I ordered 25 pounds! to get the recession wpi/wpc blend, I also ordered two natural flavors, chocolate and vanilla. Total bill was 155 some dollars so the eventual cost is $6.2/lb. Cheapest i could ever find. As for tasted, I don't mind it at all. These days my morning shakes consist of a Egg whites from 2 eggs, 60 g (2 scoops) of whey pp, 2 bananas, a spoon of dried coconut powder, a cup of skim milk. No sugar. I don't even need the flavor. It tastes yummy just like that! I use a mason's jar and a hand mixer that I bought from amazon, it cleans so easy.

No complaints so far. Thanks for the recommendation LBBS.True protein rocks!

Just saw this. Glad to pass on the recommendation.

Also, just found out, anyone who wants can use the product code BAN966 at True Protein and get 5% off the cost of the order.
