might need to transition back to dumbbells…I was strictly dumbbells for years cause I hated the bar, but started plateauing at heavy weight. but now I’m 225 regularly on the bar so might be time to pivot back and see if I can clear the dumbbell rack now lmfao

stopped doing regular squat, switched to v-squat strictly and all my knee pain went away just do air squats now if I really need to squat regularly lmfao, idk what happened but we will be back under that bar one day

been running a 4 day upper/lower split since july and i'm thinking about switching to a 3 day fullbody + arms day. i'd pretty much be hitting the same movements and gaining a day to solely focus on arms, which i feel like i'm lacking on

lol i cant even touch 225 on the bar lol if i get two plates done i need a spot but see

i dont know if pulled something again when i did dead lifts this week funny it was the same weight when i pulled something in july the weight was 4 plates 20 lbs did about 1 set it was my last one but anyways i am getting like spasms pains on and off from my right side where the groin muscle is down to my knee i just hope everything is ok ill see how things are i might not lift so much weights for the rest of the year and just rest it

yea i just told my brain “we not using a spot bud” (i really hate interrupting people’s workouts) and just kept struggling until now I'm repping it haha

would heavily recommend the extra arm day you’ll be glad in even 3 months, after a year you’ll be jacked. I’d throw in shoulders too with arms, trust me

the f***ing back pad on the pendulum squat broke on me mid set

i wanna do this but 2 days+arms. sounds like a good idea but iunno if all in all this is enough load for one week

you saying this like I’m not hitting that arm day twice a week your arms can take it, you won’t regret it

i dont wanna do more than 3 days of lifts bc i already do 4 runs a week. no chance ill be able to sustain that schedule

I respect it, running is taxing

I plan on starting the peptide GHK-Cu for anti aging/ skin aesthetics. The site I would get it from also has roids. I’m considering running my first cycle, I’m just nervous about potential side effects. I’m getting my bloodwork done this week, so if everything is good I was thinking 300 to 500 mg test E a week for 16-20 weeks

i feel bad when i cant put the bar back when i fail and everyone comes help me lol

for people who take roids or etc where do you get your needles ? do you buy them at the pharmacy? how much you pay lol? i ask because i am t1 diabetic and use needles daily syringes but i get them through the dr

can please someone answer me on the deadlift question ty

are you 40+ years old?

No, why do you ask? If you’re saying I should wait, plenty of guys are already taking more than what I’m considering

you should not be taking f***ing test unless youre way in your 40s and your doctor prescribed it, it makes zero sense to take that while youre young unless maybe if youre in a MASSIVE testosterone deficit. that s*** is for old dudes who cant get they d*** hard or by that time lose muscle too quickly. you went on a snake oil website and got sold roids that will absolutely f*** your health up. you wont see any benefits of taking them ten years down the line unless you become a junkie and keep taking them until you inevitably crash down. and f*** you mean anti aging, are you in your 30s at least? man these industries are killing yall brains

nah I feel that had a moment where I had to tilt the bar one way and let the weights slide off, that s*** mad embarrassing haha but humbling

lol I’ll typically roll the bar down my body instead to make less noise

Now at my gym tho they have their benches in the squat rack so I can use the crash bars if I’m at risk

Tbh if this is what you really want to do make sure you do all your research. Make sure you know that this will basically be a for life thing because when you go off and you age your body is naturally going to have less testosterone due to the fact that you took the stuff

this why i only bench when i go with my brother

Y’all just need to use the crash bars like this if you’re solo

If you arch your back properly you should be able to touch your chest, and if you fail then flatten your back and the crash bars take the bar

Is that embed f***ed up
