TTT

I thought you all trained on actual gyms. Aren't they air cond? Or are you sissies talking about it being x degrees outside while you are doing forearm curls inside where it is always 25.7 degrees?

your girlfriend is your 14 year old daughter? DUDE!!!

tell him to join up and link to this thread.. lol

Consider it a complement and carry on.

as long as it is a 1/18 size model. you might "just" have enough torque to pull that around

Disappointing.. I thought surely he'd break in to dance after that effort.

Gloves.

remember my story?

and to quote his post...

Pendlay Row as told by ,,,,, Glenn Pendlay.. Also - a good article found elsewhere regarding softcocking it http://www.jtsstrength.com/articles/2012/12/20/you-are-not-overtrained/

THIS IS NOT THE YOUR IDEAL PHYSIQUE THREAD. STOP POSTING SHIT ABOUT SHIT. Now.. Pendlay Rows... Do them!

If OCD - try hook grip. It hurts for a while, but your OCD ways might allow you to do it long enough to get used to it.

Welcome. We've been expecting you

Hey - I'm after an R32 GTST undertray... I may have already asked you buy I can't remember.

Well... squat and deadlift every day then.. problem solved.. jesus.. do I have to do all the thinking here?

rest as much as you feel you need. Lift in a power cage with the safety bars set correctly and you don't need a spotter. If you are lifting somewhere where you can't get a spot, don't have a power cage, can't eat enough, want to change stuff around.. well I don't know what else I can say that I already haven't... Markos has a go at saying it recently.. Note - he is refering to this previous article.. - http://ptcfrankston.com/doc/newsletter/PTC_Newsletter_IssueNo37.html

Yes it is aimed at beginners. Yes it is a strength program. getting bigger muscles is a side effect of getting stronger. how big you get or don't get depends on how much you eat. you might be 80kg and have a max squat of 100. you could stay 80kg and increase your squat to 160 if you wanted to. Rip also recomends GOMAD - Gallon Of Milk A Day (close to 4L of full cream milk) 40-60lbs of body weight would not be out of the question if you did his program and ate that much food and milk. see if you can find his article on a guy called Zach (I think it was) keep in mind that he does not say 40-60lbs of lean muscle. Close to half of that will be fat. if you are in your late teens or 20's those sort of gains are easily achievable. burning the fat later is also easy. EDIT Found the article for you.. http://startingstren...ct_rippetoe.pdf seems it was 55lbs in 11 weeks. They also did a before and after fat test.. Pics are in the article too There is a video of the kid doing squats and chugging on the 3L bottle of milk in between sets.. lol..

Makes no difference to me how you lift or what program you do etc. But a structured program put together by a coach has been done so for some reason. They don't usually just slap a bunch of shit together and then push their product.... So I just don't get when people say "I'm doing this program" but what they are doing is so bastardised that it looks nothing like the program. SS is pretty straight forward. DAY 1 - Mon Squat 3 sets, 5 reps Bench 3 sets, 5 reps Deadlift 1 set 5 reps Day 2 - Wednesday Squat 3 sets, 5 reps OH Press 3 sets, 5 reps Power clean 5 sets, 3 reps Day 1 - Friday Squat 3 sets, 5 reps Bench 3 sets, 5 reps Deadlift 1 set 5 reps Next week starts at Day 2 - Monday There are no workouts for tuesday or thursday or a bunch of other exercises. Those rest days are there for a reason. If you did SS as it's written then you would be doing Bench on Monday and Friday, but then adding another chest day in Thursday in the above work out. And if you had just done OHP and power cleans on Wednesday, then is there a need to do delts and core the day after? What you're actually doing is, taking bits of SS and stuff you want to do and creating your own routine out of it. And there is nothing wrong with that at all. But that is not the SS program. Not sure if anyone has heard of DOGGCRAPP The guy who put that program together would RAGE when people would change his program somewhat and then would ask questions because they weren't getting the results they were after or go on bodybuilding forums and respond to people asking about it and saying it doesn't work etc. There is a method to the madness of lifting programs that successful coaches put together. As I mentioned before.. I did SS for a good 6 months or so. the reason I ended up changing is because my deadlift was getting left behind. but when squatting 3 times a week, every week, it was hard to add more deadlift work. So I changed to PPP (Markos' program). My squat went up a little bit but my deadlift went up 35kg in 2 cycles of his program. His program is Very different to SS. As Markos keeps saying.. Everything works, nothing works for ever. I'll add "injuries happen" to that statement.. lol

No.. Lifting weights is for strength/power/awesomesauceness eating is for more size or less size depending on if you are a man or lady (respectively)

You're Not Doing The f**king Program is what it stansd for. Have you read any of Rippetoes books or watched his instruction videos or even check his forum out? Nothing wrong with ATG squats. My point was saying you are doing SS program and then saying ATG squats and bi curls and other associated shit that is not in the program is that YNDTFP And if you read any of his responses on his forum you'd see what I mean. He has his theories behind his method of squats, the number of days training, the number of reps and sets, the food etc etc. so saying Starting strength - Mon, Wed, Fri Tuesday - back, bi's, core Thursday - chest, bi's, lateral & posterior delts, core means YNDTFP

ATG squats is not in starting strength. YNDTFP

I had 6 for breakfast every day for 2 years and I was well in my 30's. It's a myth. It didn't brain my damage or anything.

when you're up it, all you see is the tacho so who cares? and if you have an EVO, you are always up it... otherwise you prefer the company of Men.. nowatumsayin?
