instagram.com/p/BUIdyEcjfDA/?taken-by=norsefat

how're things senpai

>have buffalo wild wings for lunch
>feel gross
>don't go to the gym

Why do I do these things to myself

Good work norsie

Also how do you like those reebok shoes? This one girl at my gym wears them but it's mostly romaleos/adipowers

it just seems like i should have done more than that? but i had a rough weekend so maybe im still worn out

god damn moose is so beautiful

Literally ass to grassprops

they're pretty good for the money (i paid 50 bucks)

adipowers / romaleos still >> though

Lads I keep waking up in the middle of the night, 3-4 times a night. Anyone have this problem and if you did, howd you fix it? I feel like its really fucking with my recovery

>I just started an RP cutting cycle
At this rate plg won't have any heavyweights anymore.

I legit bench press more than I squat, any tips?

Squat with your arms.

Put more weight on the bar when you squat

last training cycle i squatted 365 highbar and now i switched to lowbar can i expect to be able to do 4pl8 in the next c6w cycle

think I smashed it brehs

how was your day?

>be fat
>cut down from ~25% to ~20% bodyfat
>know I should keep going
>want to bulk

just eat at maintenance or like 100 calories above

if i dont get a job over the summer ill just play video games and lift and do nothing else but i dont wanna interact with people

Cut summer bulk winter

We /smeshingexams/ today.

Good job, Alex :D

i miss trappY

I had a dream that played on my deepest darkest anxiety.
I literally was about to kill myself but woke up.

I've never felt more relieved in my life.

yeah not really

FUCK WITH MY NIGGAS CATCH A DICK IN YOUR THROAT

Week 3 of 28free and sheiko. Did squats, then deadlift, then squats again, then romanian deadlift. Hardest workout of my life. Pls pity me.

Running sheiko for squats and 28free for deadlift. Next monday is gonna be even worse. This was by far the hardest workout of my life.

People who own both adipower and romaleos? How often do you change or rotate your pairs? Do you use shoes for a pparticular lift?

Did my first Sheiko workout today. Fuck 5/3/1 this is so much better.

Sorry to hear it dude

I had a pretty spooky dream fairly recently as well

>tfw Volume Day takes three and a half fucking hours

Spoto press volume pr just matched an old tng one

Feels good to make bench gains for once

Another sleepless night rip

Same honestly

Kinda want to stay up to reset my shit but I don't want to lift on no sleep

Although I did have a question, my oly lifting coach currently has me doing 4 days of oly stuff and I was wondering if I could just take the two upper body days from PHUL and put those on friday/saturday while going monday-thursday on my regular shit (just for vanity reasons mostly on top of bodybuilding generally being useful for oly lifting)

Does that sound like too much for a novice lifter?

Yes

My shit is normal, it's just that my throat hurts, I can't sleep flat on my back, and my nose is completely clogged.

>Too much
Almost definitely

>canada

There is a guy who unironically has a u mirin brah tattoo

Why tho? I thought the deadlift part of sheiko was good

Sup lads,got any info on SI joint rehab?

Its aong road ask boarsshorts

>eat 600 calories
>drink a nasty fucking drink and vomit around an hour and a half later

does that really set me back 600 calories or what

Should I study mechanical engineering? Looks fun

Been eating at 2400 kcal last few weeks and stayed same weight, tried upping calories to 2800kcal because app says that is my maintenance.

1 week later 1.5kg lighter, I don't know what the fuck is going on.

Deadlift PR today
Pulled 200kgx8

fug i creamed

good job mate

>tfw had surgery
>tfw no training
>tfw antibiotics make my tummy hurt

Just dropped a smelly stinky sticky Sean in the handicapped toilet at my work. It reeked of curry and alcohol

me too

i miss trappy!

What happened?

Why doesn't she post anymore

I don't like dadlift on boxes and I ran the 28free for DL prior to sheiko. Managed to increase my deadlift despite losing 7 kgs hence why i'm keeping the deadlift portion. Sheiko also looks like lower volume so I thought it would be a better move.

I find lacrosse/baseball rolling the glute on the side of the problem helps. Stretching glutes, hamstrings, and lower back muscles, gently, can't hurt.

he does

why is your front squat so shit

I know 70kg twinks who also front squat that

Guys
I hit my knee last night
It was hurting a little bit
I thought that sleeping would make it go away
It didn't, when I was walking to the bus stop and from the bus stop to class this morning it was hurting a little again (mainly when I bent it)

Am I fucked
I shouldn't go to the gym today, right

>do cuckols his 2x bench int program
>has me doing cgbp
>get pump all over upperbody, whole chest, delts and arms
why did I get memed into thinking that cgbp was a tricep exercise

also felt great on my shoulder, maybe i should do these instead of my regular gripwidth tb h might be greater for longevity

>She

The toilet is handicapped? Don't bully the handicapped like this

go gym, start lifting and if it still hurts when you get to your working sets then stop

Ha ha raffy

Plz post your front squat, thanks

145kg but ive been only lifting for a year

Holy christ, I am in waaaayyy over my head

>gf begs for both of us to get back on "meal plan" (she doesn't even know how to count calories)
>ALRIGHT, FINE
>bust out the RP template
>begin cooling with her
>she Is arguably the whitest black girl you'll ever meet
>she has so little clue what she's doing it isn't funny
>trying to explain how to count calories, use excel, that YES you have to count calories from the fucking milk it doesn't matter if is a liquid
>she refuses to just read the fucking book
>on top of it all She's a vegetarian, so RP doesn't even have built in options for her and have to force shit to fit all over

I spent 3. Fucking. Hours. Making a god damn egg bake that will feed one out of two breakfasts for 2 days.

Holy christ i.never thought settling down with a normie gf (as opposed to a lifting gf) would be so painful.

>just keep telling yourself she'll eventually become self sufficient and it will be worth it

Oh. Never mind me then big man

If you've only been Lifting for a year then I look forward to your 700-pound front squat next year

is this a joke I cant tell

just got home from a maths exam. gl bro, dynamics is a fucking bastard.

>Race mixing

You bought it upon yoursrlf

When I go up the stairs it hurts a little
I guess that it'll hurt in the Squat warm-up

Will just rest fix it?
Should I stretch or something

you just pulled a tendon you mong, just take it easy for a couple of days itll go away

can some rate my routine, i'd curious to know if its too much. i'll be bulking on it. its a TM and 28 free hybrid (3x a week int bench and texas squats, deads and chins). adding in some bodybuilding in order to improve size in problem areas.

Mon:
Bench (28 free)
chins volume
Squat volume
RDL 3x8
ab wheel 3xwhatever
lateras/face pulls for a quick pump before i leave

Wed:
Bench (28 free)
chest supported row 3x8-12
klokov press 3x8-12
Squat recovery
ab wheel 3x whatever
cable crossovers or whatever for a pec pump before i go home

Fri:
Bench (28 free)
chins intensity then 1 or 2 bodyweight back off sets
Squat intensity
DL intensity
ab wheel 3x whatever
laterals/face pulls for the pump

might throw in some calves somewhere too.

anyway my main concern is these days being too long or there being too much volume in there. nuckols said getting pumps etc is fine but maybe its too hard with the TM stuff in there. i would also appreciate some advice on whether to keep it at 3 days per week or moving TM lower to its own day so its 6 days per week. thanks.

How to eat when no appetite because of anxiety? Did any of you guys deal with anxiety before? Please help

Sorry lad
It never happened with me

Dude wtf is wrong with her, how can someone be so god damn lazy. I don't understand how someone who asks for help can refuse to listen or do what someone with a fuck load of knowledge and experience recommends.

Milk

>ordered a job traveling the world
>can't have a family cause I'll never be around

Worst choice ever :(

On week 2 of sheiko coming off 5/3/1 as well, loving it.

For those who do vanilla TM: do you only do your 5RMs on friday, or do you add another "wednesday" at the end of friday for extra volume?

What would/do YOU do if you only had 1 hour, 3 days a week? (except TM)

How's everyone been doing?
WAWTT?

I have a few 90% deadlift singles so that'll be fun. My bench has been feeling pretty strong the last couple of weeks too. I think it might be possible to hit 275 at the August meet I'm doing.

The cert exams count for both the US and Canada so it has both the SOA and CIA on there.

Thanks, senpai.

Tbh it's not even her, it's every one. Every fucking normie I know is like this

personally i do high bar squats 2x3 after friday's intensity. i recover in time for monday no problem.

nah its not needed

I still make gains on 1x5. One high effort set isnt that hard to recover from

>How am I doing
Currently loopy from oxycodone in calc 2 because I was in a fuckton of pain this morning

>WAWTT
Nothing :(

Why are normies literally the absolute worst. It's weird though, my experience with giving advice to normies who ask usually isn't that bad

Novice lifters are only slightly better than normies.
>guy asks me for help
>give answer he doesn't like
>strongest dude in the gym walking by
>novice pulls him over
>strong dude tells him just to listen to me
>I now have all the power
When I get validated by the strong dude these guys would probably bark during sets if I told them to, assholes.

>275.
Lad I think you're exaggerating a bit

>every normie
I agree. My mom recently had back surgery and her doctor told her before she picks up anything she has to learn to brace. I spent 30 minutes teaching her how to do it, even sending her a video to watch and she still doesnr understand how to breathe in her damn stomach

raf?

who's got the strongest bench in /plg/? isley's DL is insane, frog's squat is great, never seen anyone with a good bench

bodorio, 200kg

This is a month old now. I think it's definitely possible.

Feel better soon, senpai. I'm sure a week or so after your surgery you'll feel a lot better.

Fuck in hell. Bracing is definitely not something normies understand. I'm teaching a friend to lift. Seems like he's serious, looking forward to each workout and stuff. But he just doesn't understand how to brace. I say breath in and down and push your gut out and he proceeds to suck it in. Just fucking kill me.
