    Cardio is beneficial mainly for what the word is short for. It’s not to allow yourself an extra bite or 2 of food.

    It starts and ends with diet. Get that in order and weight management is obtained, whether that be to gain muscle or lose fat or both

    Cardio improves work capacity and heart health. Those 2 things aid in lifting more weights. Bingo bango bongo you’re Jacked and juicy

    41 checking in here. Was 265 at my biggest and got diagnosed with the sugars. Now I hang around 220.

    There's no secret sauce. Consistency in the gym and minimize how often you eat like a shithead. Easiest change to make was not drinking calories. Unless I'm drinking alcohol, it is either water (90% of the time) or a diet drink. Start with small habits like that first rather than trying to go all in.

    Made a post about a year ago about trying to bench double my body weight, weighed about 175 at the time. I now weigh 200. I can bench 275 for a set of ten, but anything above 335 and it fucking hurts. Probably giving up on that dream.

    Could be a technique breakdown driving that sensation. If you can video the set of 10 then the 335 and see if you notice a difference. Happy to give a set of eyes as well

    I may just do that, not working for a few months so I am lifting hard, 36 years old so it’s now or never.

    2100 calories with 30 minutes cardio a day is pretty near maintenance for your size.

    I’d mostly just try to find a decently healthy diet that’s sustainable, don’t do any of that Keto nonsense

    Fitness watches helped me a lot with tracking stuff. When I first started getting back into fitness after a decade of being useless, dropped from 245 to 180 with a ton of help from FitBit and myfitnesspal. Now I’m around 230 and way stronger but with awful discipline in my diet

    If your diet is good and don’t like results, maybe try like 200 less calories at most. Or increase cardio and keeping same calories/diet

    If your diet is shit like mine kinda currently is, the answer is obvious but need the discipline to do it

    Lu tested positive for EPO

    I do not understand that world. First Chinese weightlifter to pop since 2015 and it’s the golden boy. Guess China want to give Li Dayin smooth sailing into next Olympics

    Rise of rbc which’ll provide more energy during lifting and training. Typically rbc are elevated if on gear, which these guys are, and with that will raise hematocrit and hemoglobin. Too high of those levels and you’ll run the risk of heart attack or stroke. Definitely a fine line on running it safely

    Yea I guess it’s to help fuel those longer sessions. Plenty of things raise RBC though that have properties that, in theory, would aid them more. Weightlifting isn’t as aerobically challenging as cycling where it’s more commonly used. I’d love to hear their coach breaking it down to get a better understanding.

    I do see it more referenced in powerlifting use compared to bodybuilding so I’m not too well versed on it beyond the endurance benefits it provides. I’d also like to know the reasoning behind it outside of helping those longer sessions. I’m guessing going longer and harder (that’s what she said) always has it’s need to a desired goal?

    It's whatever. My only problem with peds is transparency and cheating others whether it's competition or marketing yourself as clean(Lu kinda does) but this doesn't bother me. Probably because the whole sport is so fundamentally fucked in this regard, I do hate it for US weightlifting as we're one of the few countries that are trying to catch it.

    Yesterday pulled 615 beltless easy. Choked on 645. I think I rushed it but I didn't even want to pull. I'm pissed because the gym was slammed and I couldn't get enough 45s. So I had to add 25s go 595 up. I shoulda used the 35s but whatever.

    Starting to feel more strain on my knees when I squat then I did when I was younger. Are knee wraps or anything worth it?

    Sleeves can help. Not wraps. I’d say the biggest thing would be technique changes and program management. Could be too much work. Could be not enough hamstring work and the knees are achy

    Don’t think I technically did CrossFit but saw a cardio workout posted for a BikeErg which I have so gave it a try so I could feel better about my diet over the holidays. It was minute on 30 calories then minute rest x 10. This was after weights and knew 30 cals was impossible so did 25.

    Nearly blacked out and HR got close to 200 by the end and haven’t felt my legs since doing it on Friday.

    Cool story, never again.

    I would highly recommend continuing deadlifting. If you want to go trap bar that’s totally reasonable. Avoiding it and strengthening it all together is an error imo

    I just want 600 conventional then I’m probably going full on trap bar, I’d argue it’s better for majority of non-powerlifters.

    It is. More natural position, more carryover to athletic movements, etc. Still strengthen the back and legs just in a more natural position

    I quit like 4 years ago or so. Just wasn’t worth it. Still will do lightweight straight leg ones and rack pulls but I wouldn’t ever do conventional deadlifts again. Just not worth it to me at where I’m at. I could do lightweight ones but just don’t. Same for squats.

    I just moved to mostly machines and dumbbells. With all the recent injuries I get more out of machines and dumbbells than standard squat/bench/deadlift. I’m currently at more muscle mass than I was when doing all that. I do only bodybuilding types of workouts and basically took the “power lifting” aspect out of it.
