TMB Weightlifting Thread: Learn to Swim

So it’s been a week on the Renaissance diet and I gained 7.4 lbs. The fuck is this?

 

Beautiful area. My family is from Spooner

 

How much did you eat last week?

 

So much so on the base diet that I was in physical pain 2 days. Sunday was awful. It was a heavy day since I did legs and I was just in bed in absolute agony due to stomach pains.

 

were you on a low carb diet prior to starting?

 

What's the theory behind this? Goals? Are you bulking or like overloading before cutting??

 

Cutting. I think the base week is carb loading then as the fat loss weeks progress they cut carbs and fats. Still a ton of food to eat. Trying to cut maybe 10lbs for wedding. I know I can get it off counting calories using my fitness pal but I’ve read up on how using macros is better than just cutting calories.

 

Somewhat. I’d have carbs at for meals up until lunch then none after that.

 

Depending on your weight, that could easily account for it. Give it 2-3 more weeks then adjust after that.

Opposite. Has me jammed up where I’m just hoping to take a shit.

 

Did you buy the template or did you acquire a free one?

I thought I remember someone mentioning a Google Drive or Dropbox that others ITT use. If someone wouldn't mind helping a brother out with a link I'd appreciate it

 

I bought it.

 

Juggernaut did a five part series on squat techniques. Remedial for most of you, but it was great for me. Never visualized pulling my back muscles inward, then pushing elbows forwards... feel a lot more stable on low bars today. #deardiary

 

Also pulling my hands in even closer. That helps a ton.

 

Left shoulder good l
Left bicep still slight strain
Left finger tips very slightly numb still
Left hip 80%
Right quad tendon killing me
Right AC joint almost better. Still can't dip

Took 4 days off because of life. Figured I could squat. Fuck me.

 

I’m reading through his and envisioning a Terminator status report.

 

Maybe you're growing muscle for once in your life.

 

A)always good for even elite folks to go back and review the basics. Juggernaut does an amazing job at that.
B)I’ve done the same and my positioning coming out of the hole has been awesome.

 

Also, pulled 525 for my top single @9. Sumo though so like 225 conventional

 

that’s even a stretch.

So roughly half way through the year I’m at

226 mile run
9046 push-ups
8465 sit-ups

In addition to lifting.

I did a lot of pushups during my two week annual training but it was too much to track and add to my totals.

 

home workout during wc game
5x12 deadlifts at 280(hex bar), 5x12 rows with 95s, 5x12 pullups, 5x25 pushups, some medicine ball shit
have an open water swim tonight, I'm gonna sink

sounds like a lot of fun

 

I would imagine face pulls would be good for swimming. Really fire up Dem delts. I use the to warm up for pressing days.

 

Let s it get Carried away, bub

 

You almost had it

 

Taper making my fingers feel a little extra strong, resulting in poor typing

 

490 squat @9. We comin.

 

Wanted to try and do a heavy triple and do a touch of volume. Failed or quit that 3rd rep. Second attempt had no shot. Going to max next week then deload.

585#2.2,2
525#x3,3,5

 

Mike Israetel just posted a video of him doing forearm curls. They’re back in, folks!

 

Spent two weeks prepping that T2 biker bar location for shooting in Jan/Feb 1991. Had about three days' worth of work, but they sent us out there for ten, so we spent a lot of time drinking at the bar. They wanted to stay open during prep, so we did a lot of work before and after hours. One of the waitresses celebrated a birthday while we were there, so we got her a cake with a girl riding a giant horse-sized penis drawn in icing on the top.

My uncle was supposed to play the biker bar owner with the shotgun whose sunglasses Arnold takes, but he'd left the film over "creative differences" with Joe Nemec the Production Designer in December, so Mali Finn got some other portly 50something to do it.

To keep this thread-related, Arnold looked like he worked out a lot. I was working standby on the garage set where Linda pulls bullets out of his back, and he didn't look all that impressive when he walked past me on his way onset, but then when he took off his shirt I was like HOLY FUCK

 

people say that he did that

 

Arnold wasn’t that big relative to the mass monsters we see today. His type of physique will always be more aesthetic for me.

 

Arnold's chest make even today BB gush. He had silly genes.

 

Sweet....

2nd to last day of heavy snatches a week out and what happens? I strain the fuck out of my hip flexor.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiuuuuuiiuuuuuck

2# under weight tho

 

So I've got 2 weeks between now and when I want to start Candito's 6 week program. Should I stay structured with the barbell or go outside and play with sandbags and farmer's walks?

 

I wouldn’t completely get away from the comp movements, by you could do both

 

Drank friday and Sat way too much. Sunday I slept 12 hours.

OHP
225# 1,1
200# 3x3+4
155#2x10
Back work
Biceptuals

Prob taking tomorrow off to pull for a max wed. Then a deload week

 

I’m in your hood this week. Go to Southern Table in Pleasantville, loved it.

 

def will do.

 

Just finished first week of fat loss 2 and I’ve never had more g.i pain in my life, and I’ve shit my pants. A bunch.

 

Is there anything worse than foam rolling a hip flexor?

 

How’s it feeling? You probably have a couple more training sessions, right?

 

Tonight is just singles to a max of each then light Thur.

Biofreeze and heat and rolling. Kinda OK. Feels better than Sat

 

This is a bold post coming on the heels of this one:

 

But he atleast enjoyed eating
