did you make this yourself?
Nope. But I love being able to focus on one big lift a day. Makes me feel like I can do heavier weight. Only doing this for 16 weeks total though, then I have a new routine I'll probably be going towards.
Who is she?
I am final year tourism management undergraduate student. Man this dissemination is fucking me up.
Mixed feel
>Mom is a big woman, but I love her to death
>Talking out in the back while grilling
>She seems a bit off
>Suddenly stiffens up and topples straight over
>Catch her before she cracks her head open on the concrete
>Lift her up lmao 1mom DL and carry her to the living room/instantly call 911
I've never been happier that I started lifting. Had it been even just a year ago I'd have just had to break her fall with my body. I'm making light of the situation but it's motivated her to start working out and eating right.
So I'm cooking all our meals together (just close to double what I make before) and we threw out all the shit food. Going to force her to gym with me, even when she doesn't want to. First couple of weeks if not 2-3 months will be the toughest, but as son as she sees results I think she'll pull through.
Stats?
Dont u think thats a bit too much volume for your biceps?
If anything I feel my triceps are getting too much work.
Started doing heavy cardio and lifting again after a year of laziness. After 3 weeks I have lost ~10 lbs.
Feels good man

>proceed to do cable rows

It's a 45 degree angle.
my brain cant cope with it
Hope your mom sticks with it bro, good luck

THE FUCK BRUH WHY DIDNT YOU TALK TO THAT WHORE
YOU ARE MAKING IT BTW
Glad to hear it. Looks like you're well on your way to making it! Isn't it crazy how much getting fit can change?
>could never do deadlifts
>I'd get up to 200 lbs, and the next day, hemorrhoids would either be painful and inflamed, or bleeding
>decide to give it one last try
>really try my best to nail my form, control my breathing, take it slow
>As of yesterday, I'm deadlifting 215 lbs
I know you guys will consider it babyweight, but I managed to exceed the weight that was causing me strain. I think I might finally know how to deadlift properly.
>In non-fitness related good feels, today I paid of the remainder of a loan that was stressing me out
Quads don't lie.
Congrats user, I'm hoping to reach your level soon. Deadlifts are the most difficult workout for me, I tend to have bad form so I usually just use babby weight.
>OHP is microloading nicely, 90 kg on my way to two plate.
>Stalled with a 230 kg DL at 89 kg but I will give my natty card (250 mg test nothing fancy).
>Cant wait for my sweet roid gains
I just hit 115 on squats today, felt fucking good. I made two new gym buddies too, and was getting some mires from a cutie (only cause my face is pretty decent, still skelly). Feeling good brahs.
pics of mum?
Grats on the loan user. I'd love to have it all paid off so I can ktf
Why so many reps? If I'm maxing bench for instance, I'll do 135x8
185x5
205x3
225x3
Then more weight for 3, then 2 then 1 and 1 and 1 till I hit it
its become a habit (feels likes it helped more with fatigue) and its easier to rep out heavier weights
i'll try lower reps and sets for tomorrow, see what happens
btw do you usually try to max or is it only when you feel good?
I only max out maybe once a bulk, so not very much. Maybe 2 or 3 times a year, but you do what you feel is best. I've tried keeping my usual rep ranges and I'm too fatigued by the time I reach my old max. I find 3 reps is enough to keep my muscles warm for the higher weights.
why shit on a beginner for no reason
you are a faggot and i hope you lose your gains
tfw i can always tell girls are interested in me and want me to start a conversation with them but im too autistic to know how
>sitting in my bio lab talking to group members
>randomly warm for november, srsly like 70 degrees out nice af
>wearing joggers and a kind of tight t-shirt that looks pretty good on me
>look around and notice 4 qts at separate tables mirin hard
>tfw i'm not even cut, been bulking for like 2 months almost now
>thinking of asking one of the qts out but i'm acoustic
>but not as much of an autist compared to a couple years ago
>social gainz are coming but they are coming oh so slowly
Got not one, but two sorta-mires this week.
One was from slavic bros saying I'm a madman for DLing without a belt and asking for form tips.
Second was qt at work: "user has been hitting the gym".
Don't think just talk I used to be like this and man it's all in your head, girls are nervous as fuck
>Don't think just talk
bad advice for a literal autist
Like beyond bad. Horrible.
Do you not get enough hilarious green text stories already or something
Goal body right there. Routine? And how long you been lifting for?
Cl&J 100kg
Snatch 80kg
Nothing too extreme but for a 6'4 lifter it is pretty good. I have competition this December hopefully I will do better.
>Been lifting for a little over a year
>Friends are into it too
>They're both way stronger than me
>Keep hearing about their lifts
>I was bullied and a fat fuck most my life - my confidence is easily shaken
>Stop lifting for awhile - thinking I'm bad at this like everything else
>Go back to it but rarely participate in their conversations about lifting
>Ask one day about bar position with squats.
>How many plates?
>3, I know it's weak
>Tells me I haven't been adding bar's weight
>I've been counting wrong this whole time
Been squatting 330lbs
Benching 244
>I've rediscovered my fire, guys - that feeling
that made me want to better myself
>Benched 275 last week, was so happy I cried in the car on the way home
>Feels good to not be useless for once
Even if it's weak to you guys I've finally made progress on something
He was clearly being sincere dude
you suck
Pretty good man.
Bruh 275 is a really good bench man
Change your ways please. I beg you.
Same experience here, OP.

Just pray to Slaanesh for some noise gains.
