interesting news: got let go yesterday (because of phone call from potential employer), received a job offer today, took it, doubled my salary & this company is crazy legit..

pretty happy, that year off plan where i re-dedicated myself to computers/programming while working a dead-end job has seemed to work exactly as expected.

 

now i'll be able to eat EVEN MORE..

Congrats man, 

thanks so much man!$@!@

Tell me more about this miracle 20 rep squat. Might give it a try during low intensity weight training, hopefully it will help me get faster 

pc

check out the "MEBM", maximum effort beast mode blog article on this site.. in it's purest form, a 20 repper isn't really low intensity though.. it's 20 reps done with a 10-12RM, so that's pretty brutal.. however, preparation for that is simply 20 reps with 15+ RM etc.. still feels great, lots of blood flow, achieve fatigue if you go non stop etc.

MEBM style 20 reppers will definitely 'make you faster', but via the usual ideology of making you stronger.. the one nice thing about 20's is like raptor says, you can increase velocity on the reps since it's a 10-12 RM.. once you get around 15+ reps though, they can be pretty brutal.

peace man

I'd definitely do 20 reps squats if I weren't too pussy to do them.

The last time I did them was half squats with 90 kg, they were pretty easy to do. Right now I'm not doing them cause I'll just freak out in the gym.

Awesome that you're training again!

hahaha!!

No kidding though , how is your body composition? You were at 140lbs <10% when you stopped training , what happened then? I would guess you went to like 160 - 12%? And now?

148/~8% or so when i stopped... well, i worked at this sh*thole warehouse and i didn't have enough money to eat properly, so, i stopped working there around 155 lb or so... so i didn't gain much weight while working there, and i lost muscle.

im 177 - ~14-15% right now.. body fat % is just a guess, but probably accurate.. i can see my abs lightly when im not 'soft' from too much milk.




i want to hit 200 within say, 3-6 months.. :F

i figure the only way to get back into jumping this time around, is to put on lots of lean muscle.. i don't really want to 'push my cns' this time around.. i'd rather get yolked, which will take some temporary fat gain but then i'd just cut it later on.

not worrying one bit about fat gain will allow me to put on some serious mass in these next few months..

plus im not broke anymore so i can just eat really good food, high in protein, great quality, no joke.. really helps.

when i was at my part-time warehouse job, i ate like CRAP and had to skip meals.. it was really bad.




peace everyone!

I'll be damned , you ARE getting on my level!
This is very intesting because i have a similar approach currently ( except from the high-rep squatting ).
I came back from holidays at ~185/14% , now (almost 2 months later ) at around 197/17%. I will continue bulking , i want to stop at ~210. As i approach 200, bulk gets more difficult ( its a quality bulk like you said, no junk and sweets etc , bulk calories are all planned ) so i guess it will take me a couple of months to get there, maybe we will sync. Will be very interested to see your approach for a drastic cut with maximum strength maintenance focus.
Ok , see you in 2-3 months , you old fat fart!   

nice!@

ya, cutting hasn't entered my mind one bit yet, which is good.. trying to predict the future: i imagine i'd just up the running & reduce portion sizes, nothing drastic.. i've never really done any drastic dieting, yet i've gotten my BF% low on multiple occasions.. the most ripped i've ever been was when i was into boxing.. maybe eventually i'll find a gym and get back on that heavy bag.. heavy bag is some really good 'cardio' and it defines the fawk out of your upper body.. lots of muscle tonus improvements.

ya cool man good luck! now that I have joined the 30-bracket, i need to get my mussles up for the wimmenz.

Never. I've taken up that baton now. Watch me come off this creatine and i'll be the low 160s. Trust.

nice, RH must live on.

handle this mission with honor dear comrade.

Freak out = I'll feel so tired and anxious I'll go crazy and pass out or go around running like a lunatic.

nice, make sure you get those 20 reppers in.

 

major forum maintenance tonight.. been at it all day.

woop.

congrats on the new job man!

thanks lbss! ya im very excited to start.. the people seem really cool/fun there too, from my initial observations.

shitty that your old job fired you straight-up like that for looking around. fuck 'em, i guess.

ya.. surprised honestly.. i was pretty dedicated to the project & i put in tons of 'unpaid work' from home etc.. not like i expected anything for it, except maybe just perhaps that would weigh into someone's decision slightly.. guess not.. all i know is, if i found out an employee was 'entertaining offers' or 'looking at much higher paying jobs', i'd weigh how hard they were working for me.. if someone was busting their ass for me & I found that out, i'd definitely end it face to face, but i'd also give them a week or two, to phase the project out in preparation for the next person who is going to be working on it, ie documenting source/organizing stuff etc.. I def wouldn't just axe someone on the spot for something as minor as looking for another job..

who knows, what if I was looking for an extra part time job? which could have very well been the case..

I guess that's why i'm not a CEO lulz.

so ya, getting axe'd so fast is a bit of a bummer considering the level of effort I put into the project. It taught me a valuable lesson though, so it's all good :F

i will re-join ObverseHypertrophyCrew soon.

nice!@$!@ or not.. hah
