No, I do. I did 385 x 3, x 3, x 2 last DL session but this was the first time doing sumo DLs right after squatting and 365 felt really heavy as a result so I just half-assed DLs today. Next session is DLs only so be back doing 385 for reps. What goals do you mean? I just want to run...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 170lb Deep HHBS (NEW, 5 minutes b/w): 255lb x 3, x 3, x 3 Felt good. Last set, the bar slipped a bit lower than I'd like which made it more of a hybrid back squat than a high-bar squat but I'll count it. In other news, I've heard that my gym is getting a...

What do you think of Candito's 6 week (non-linear) program? I hear he's going to be overhauling the bench portion relatively soon (probably with more volume). I'm thinking of running it for a cycle after I finish my cut to see if I like it. If I don't like it I'll hop onto a DUP program or...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 170lb Deep HBBS (NEW, 5 minutes b/w): 250lb x 3, x 3, x 3, x 3 Felt great. Gonna 5lb progress weekly. Deficit Deadlift: 315lb x 4 I had at least 5 in me but I didn't want to puke. No more heavy meals before belted deadlifts. Fuck...still, very happy with...

Scooby also recommends squatting on a skateboard as opposed to under a barbell. Take that how you will. ;) IMO it's not any sort of pullup unless your chin clears the bar. You can do it by raising your head up at the end which is how I was taught and what the Marine Corps allows (decreasing...

I don't think you should be going to failure with shoulder issues even if it's BW stuff. You should be letting the joint rest a week if it's really bothering you. I also think you should reexamine your bench form because you've complained about shoulder issues in the past after benching...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 170lb (-0lb) - Gonna drop calories to 2300/day from 2600. Sumo Deadlift (5 minutes b/w): 385lb x 3, x 3, x 2 Deficit Deadlift: 305lb x 5 This felt very easy. Promising. Paused Bench (3 minutes b/w): 205lb x 2, x 2, x 2, x 2 DB Chest Flies (NEW, 2 minutes...

I googled the cm - 100 formula and got a formula designed to calculate ideal body weight @ 10%. lol

Is the incline bench mandatory? I know that on Candito's 6 week program (which I'm thinking of doing), he specifically states that for an accessory movement on upper day, one should go for something like a chest fly rather than another chest press movement because you're already doing bench and...

Or maybe some of that excess 25kg is mass? If I'm not mistaken, the cm-100 formula is for untrained individuals (average muscle mass for someone who doesn't partake in resistance training). Secondly, the formula roughly defines the ideal body fat % for males as being 10%. 10% is not the...

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 170lb Sumo Deadlift (5 minutes b/w): 375lb x 3, x 3, x 2 Almost back to where I was previously. Paused Bench (3 minutes b/w): 205lb x 2, x 2, x 2, x 1, 185lb x 6 (touch-and-go), x 2 (paused), 135lb x 10 (touch-and-go) Squat: Decided to play around with high...

Thanks, will do.

Never. I did some static stretching for a couple of weeks but it didn't seem to do much for them. I can try again though. Nothing to lose, really. How would you go about it? Contract/move into new ROM/relax (hasn't worked for me), hang out at max ROM for a few sets of 30 seconds, or hang...

Well my hamstring flexibility is garbage and I've never really been able to fix that. I've tried self-PNF and some soft-tissue shit with a baseball but I could never get it to work

Yeah, it's feeling a lot better tonight. Still stiff and sore but alternating ice and heating pad + an anti-inflammatory seems to help. I could barely walk this morning so I was pretty worried.

lol what?

Woke up in the middle of the night and stretched to get up to take a leak and tweaked my lower back. I don't think it's a hernia because no referred pain from what I can tell and no sciatica. Taking it easy today. Hopefully it dissipates in the next couple of days.

What do you mean by 'bounce'?

[only working sets shown] 5'8", 170lb Sumo Deadlift (5 minutes b/w): 365lb x 5, x 3 Deficit Deadlift: 285lb x 5 Death after sumo DLs but I like it that way. Will keep trying to progress these 10lb a week after squat-only/deadlift-only sessions. Paused Bench (3 minutes b/w): 205lb x 3, x 2...

If you meet your macros, you'll gain mass and then "relationship-type stuff" won't be a problem anymore :cool:.
