    Designed an incline bench. Think I might put a patent on it. Thoughts?

    Did some incline pressing with 2 hanging 50#KB today. Way way harder stabilizing on incline than flat
    Also did standing DB OHP w/ 85s for first time, was a good day

    The PhD I had do a bio mechanical assessment on my lifts told me I’m a unicorn. “You’re a unicorn. I don’t see any compensation strategies with the adductor magnus or hamstrings. Looks like your glutes have a lot more in the tank.” So my ass is ready to squat 600. My quads need to catch up

    Edit: squatted 455# wearing my Spud Inc Bowtie #GearedLifter

    Kept my shoulders tight and warm. I'm not sure you're supposed to wear it while lifting lol. But, Without a doubt I feel the impact of my shoulders being pulled back. The shelf you create is like concrete. The weight feels a lot less so you can focus on the lift.

    It's def cheating but I wanted to see what difference it would make.

    If some heathen were interested in cycling creatine so that they can cheat and get gains and make all those natural idiots feel bad, what brand/formula would you recommend?

    My...friend...kind of prefers the pills over powder but open to whatever. The ON micronized stuff I...my friend...took years back resulted in baaaaad gastro pain. Taking some shitty GNC pills didn’t have that result (I think it was the HCL 189 ones).

    Okay, fine. I don’t have any friends. It’s for me. You happy?

    I’ll be honest with you, unless your diet and sleep are on point, creatine won’t make a notable difference. If you do go Creatine, creatine monohydrate is the best source

    Halfthor has already done the 520k a few times - I'm amazed it isn't getting more publicity.

    I grew up powerlifting- the shit they're doing right now is fantasy It's 2x what we aspired to. lol

    eddie said (doing my best to remember it all) in that comp halfthor made a stink over a failed attempt and protested the results. eventually magnus calmed things and he accepted the ruling. eddie said it was childish and the iceland clique was bullying the refs and are rude in general to everyone. he had a smirk on his face the whole time talking about it.

    eddie doesn’t need to do it this way.

    Good deal. I just don’t want people throwing money towards something that has a smaller effect when usually their efforts could be put elsewhere. Like I said, creatine monohydrate is the way to go. Make sure to take it with some food on your stomach or it could cause more stomach cramps

    I’m reminded of working in a cycling shop in college. Some overweight customers would come in asking about how many grams lighter component X was to component Y. And I gladly sold it to them.

    I get it. Eating and sleeping are boring things to work on. So it’s way easier to get excited about a supplement. I just hate that these supplement companies have gotten people in a frenzy and then they don’t see much improvement when they could improve leaps and bounds by focusing on the boring stuff

    I’ve been doing nothing but lighter weights and body weight shit for the past 10wks and really focusing on diet since I wasn’t able to lift heavy.

    Dropped my body fat by 5% while only dropping 5lbs. I thought I had diet key’d in before this, but it’s alarming just how important it is to physique goals.

    For diet, do y’all track macros/calories? How many grams protein do you eat relative to your body weight? Most of the research I’ve read points to 1g protein per lb of body weight being sufficient, but a trainer I talked to recommended that I go even higher than that, but I’m not convinced there’s much value for maintenance to go any higher.

    They did a Viking press and Thor got a failed rep. Eddie won the event by 1. The failed rep was disputed and MvM confirmed the ruling.
    Eddie won overall by 1 point.

    Thor went on social media after claiming it was rigged. Said the failed rep cost him the title which was dumb considering Eddie went last in every event and just did what was necessary to win, he literally took a 30 second break during Atlas stones bc he knew he won.

    MvM is judging the 501 deadlift and Eddie brought up how big of a hypocrite he is.

    Pretty much, Eddie and Thor are both children

    Yes, track your calories. 1g/lb body weight is almost always the answer. Going higher, outside of very specific instances, is just diminishing returns. Eat plenty of carbs and moderate fats. Do that for 2 weeks and track your weight daily. See what the trend does and adjust from there.

    Yeah I’ve been pretty diligent with calories and 1 g per lb for protein and it’s worked wonders. When some guy recommended closer to 1.5 g per lb I couldn’t find any research to justify it, so thanks for the confirmation.

    Coming up with a home gym plan if and when supplies actually become available in the distant future. I’ll be basically starting from nothing. I mostly stick to the basic 5x5 lifts at this point. I’m planning on getting a rack, barbell, bench, and plates to complete a basic setup. I’ve honed in on Rep stuff because it seems to be decent quality and more affordable than others.

    Question: if I plan on setting this up in my garage, would it be better to invest in a few stall mats for flooring and get iron plates OR should I save the money on flooring and get bumper plates instead? I don’t plan on dropping the weight if I can help it, obviously. Thoughts?

    Stall mats and iron. Stall mats are relatively cheap. And bumper plates take up way too much room on the bar.

    Titan squat stand is on the way. Still waiting for shipping notifications for weights (from Rep), dumbbells (from Titan), and FID bench (from Titan).
