TMB Weightlifting Thread: Learn to Swim

Strength coach =/= Nutritionist right?

 

54 pulls from the floor then 36 paused RDLs got my glutes feeling some sort of way

 

Ah shit, Coop has already started repurposing my stuff on IG. We fitna be rivals.

 

These people are the worst.

 

I saw it on his page and thought he was giving me a shoutout. Nah, just ripped my shit and changed the wording.

 

Any great Cyber Monday deals out there?

 

Kabuki’s sale is really good. I picked up a shoulderok for $138 shipped.

 

Fuck that dude.

Haha, just means I'm doing something right I guess.

 

This killed me:

Children's area!

 

got back into it after a week and a half off and being lazy. I bunched 2 workouts together to play catch up and make my self sore af

Gonna join Capital City Barbell in January so I can start Olympic lifting again

 

If you want to hit some quads without overtaxing your CNS or you just hate yourself, I can’t recommend tempo high Bar squats with a 3:0:1 count enough.

 

So that’s 3 seconds on the way down, pause for 1, then up?

 

Hello

 

Nah 3 down, no pause, 1 Up.

 

Welcome back

 

Any recs for getting back into it after a half year hiatus?

 

Which lifts were you strongest in?

Would adjust volume accordingly to be heavier on stuff you liked and maybe was into the other stuff, but either way squat and just embrace that ache afterwards that will make you want to quit

 

I was literally the strongest man alive.

Squats and deads tho, but my knee is fucked. Hopefully rebuilding my quads will east the pain.

 

I think I’m a sumo puller. I’ve brought great shame to my family.

 

Artificial and homosexual.

 

I pulled 85% for a single at like RPE LOL so I’m cool with the shame

 

Klokov presses may be my new favorite thing.

 

Ok, want to buy some 7mm knee sleeves without spending too much. What’s the consensus in here?

 

STrong or SBD on the high end. Rehband is quality but not that expensive.

 

Love my SBDs.

 

Been looking at the sizing for the STrong and SBDs. Kinda confusing. Do you go with “competition fit” for regular training?

 

I’ve got 5mm Rehands and SBDs and I’d say the overall quality of each product seems to be equal.

 

If you’re not competing and just using them for normal squatting in training I’d go with regular fit. Competition fit can get tight. It’s not comfortable for me to sit down and bend my knees when I have mine on

 

I went competition fit if I remember correctly and at glad I did.

The thing I really like about the SBDs is that they’re quite a bit longer than rehbands.

 

Do you eat butt? If so, start pulling sumo.

 

how comfortable are you with needles?

 

CJ Cummings being CJ Cummings. New American record @ 141 Keys looking like a damn warmup

 

My lord

 

Need prayers.

I haven't lifted since August. I plan on lifting again Monday and stop being a worthless human and pushing weight again.

I will be sore. Really really sore.

 

Be sure to start with the bar and focus on form for 5’s

 

Apparently it’s a Saturday full of freaks. Here’s Dennis Cornelius squatting 903 @275lbs bodyweight. Unreal.

 

My belt doesn't fit me right now

 

We are same

 

I know how shitty my nutrition is based on which hole my belt is on

 

Chik Fil A spicy chicken meal for pre-workout. Balking season is real.

 

Speaking of belts, anyone have a link to a good, not expensive weightlifting belt?

 

Inzer lever belt

 

Shut up and just buy one of these: https://generalleathercraft.com/product/double-sided-suede-power-lifting-belt-by-pioneer/

 

Dumbbell floor presses, good exercise or dumb?

Seems dangerous to get up to a weight heavy enough to be in the 6-8 rep range.

 

Also, fun fact: we have over ten thousand posts ITT.

 

He's such a beast... another garage gym guy just killin' it.
