So I check my email for a tracking number, and I see that p90x was delivered two days ago. Needless to say, I haven't gotten it yet. Maybe a room(house?)mate has it, but if they haven't said anything to me for two days...

rip $100, someone's enjoying a pull up bar right now

you could also practice doing wall sits or something so you get the idea of sitting in a chair that isnt there

Everyone learns these types of things at a different pace. A lot of it has to do with basic anatomy and physiology specific to the person. Everyone has something that feels better for them than someone else.

That and there's always more to learn. I mean, my squat form is pretty good, but sometimes when you start trying to squat nearly 2x your body weight, you start thinking a lot more about moving the weight than your form lmao. It's a whole new learning experience all over again at that point.


It keeps things interesting. If it was all super simple, the gym wouldn't be all that interesting IMO.

bodyweight squat, correct or no?

You need to keep your chest upright.

[Reincarnate]

I think that is my problem -- if I hold my chest up high, then I don't sit back. If I sit back, my chest comes forward. dafuc

[Senip]

Squat against the wall then. Watch the videos!

I gots me some EPO. Time to dope up some races and win those bitches.

In all seriousness it's not for me but I got a chuckle out of how absurdly easy it is for a hospital worker to bring home such a substance.


As for squat form, already looks better than pretty much everyone I see squatting in the gym.

I wouldn't sweat it too much buddy. Back looks tight with minimal buttwink, which is by far the most important thing, looks controlled.

Blew my back up today. BO Rows with 315 and deads with 405 for the pain.

[kmay]

Yeah, I've tried running lower protein intakes (100ish grams) for several weeks at a time vs higher intakes (160+) and noticed no difference in training or gains. I decided to give it a go after a buddy of mine told me he only consumes about 120 g of protein a day while on gear (lots of it) and sees plenty of gains.

I don't think it matters much as long as you're getting a solid amount of protein in every day.

Pretty sure that isn't from food

[Senip]

oh yeah I know, but still, even the guys on gear dont look like that haha

Would you ever take HGH? Apparently it's legal, and has lots of health benefits other than just building muscle.

Front squatted 315 yesterday, prolly would have repped it if I hadnt leaned forward and been yanked to the ground haha

Well, at that level, at the pro level, the biggest guys are usually on the most gear. So either that guy is on a shit load of gear, or it's a photoshop. I'm not sure; can't see his face and have no idea who it's supposed to be.


Legal? With a prescription. And it's expensive as hell. AFAIK it doesn't have many anabolic properties if not combined with at least something like test, but it would keep me incredibly lean, so maybe.

Looks like he's real. Yeah, pretty much the price is what keeps me from even considering it. I'd like it just because I'm old looking already and I'm fairly young.

This is why I have to get sponsored by a supp company so they can buy me little things like that, haha!

Must be on every steroid in the book.

His arms are particularly insane.

He's got the body of a 30-40 year old. I wonder how long it'll be able to keep up with him.
