I had one guy asked me to stop making lifting threads and start consolidating them all into one thread. My three lifting threads per week were too much for him.

I’m down 19-20 pounds since Aug 11, so off to a pretty good start.

you lost 6-7 pounds of fat a week? i'm incredulous. likely mostly water and food weight. you're fooling yourself.

yeah i agree - make one master consolidated thread and keep adding to it for the 3-6 people that are interested in watching a Bloatlord lift.

I said I was down 19 pounds. I didn’t make any further claims about that.

No I’m going to keep making lifting threads. And you might as well make that number seven, because I know how interested you are seeing as how you pop in to every single one of them.

Lol. Interesting how even a simple lifting thread can start a beef on the misc.

It’s not a beef. That guy literally just follows me around in threads and responds negatively to my posts. I didn’t even know who he was until he started following me around.

That was the first time I’ve responded to him in months. Srs.

Doing better then you mate, I don't see you posting fuk all about lifting and at least this bloke is trying to actually promote and condone the lifting genre of what the fuk this forum is even about

What have you done?

I’ll be hitting some bench/chest/triceps tonight. Some higher volume work. Started my first bulk in years on Friday. Should be a good session.

Lol if you listen closely you can hear it.

But yeah, you know what, I might put this on tonight. I think my training partner and I are both getting a little sick of the same old playlist.

Thanks but it was only 185x10 & 207x10.

I probably could have done 225 if it had been my first exercise. But I had already done three heavier sets of flat bench.

Still very strong.
Looks like you will be stronger than pre-injury.
Was it a pec tweak?

Yeah it was. It actually happened on both sides within a few weeks of each other. The right side has completely healed up. The left side is still a little strange, but mostly better. Last week I benched 325x1 and it wasn’t the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I think I could probably bench 335 to 350 right now under meet conditions if I wasn’t afraid of hurting the pec.

Most people do flyes last. What’s your rationale for doing them before a second pressing movement?

so i'm all about stealing ideas from people smarter than me and I had amazing success with my legs doing the piana approach of burning out quads and hams before any real work is done

for back shoulders and arms im currently doing palumbo's idea of a couple light weight sets to complete failure and then a heavy set of 4-6ish reps and this has been the greatest discovery of my lifting career tbh

ive torn my pec and I feel like pressing movements are more dangerous to do fatigued so I stole this from patrick tuor, you do your hardest bang for your buck movement first, then do an isolation movement because itll exhaust the muscle you're targeting without smashing the stabilizers, and then do another harder movement and you'll have the stability to that second movement harder and heavier than you would with your stabilizers already burnt out. Sounds stupid but I love it and I definitely notice a difference strength wise going from press > iso > press rather than press > press > iso. I did piana's burn out approach on chest for a while and it felt great but chest never responded to it like legs and thats also when i snap city'd my chest so never again

that's a lot of pressing lol. Reminds me of when I first started lifting and I'd always make sure to hit flat/incline/decline every chest day

I'm limited to DBs and bands so my chest workout for the last 5 months was

incline DB press
DB floor press
flat DB flyes
band tri kickbacks

this last month switched over to a full body routine though and lifting every other day. For pressing I do incline DB day 1, DB shoulder press day 2, and DB floor press on day 3.
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Well it’s funny you say that, because that’s kind of what my training partner and I have done. We’re going back to the beginning, taking a few months and just doing a brosplit, 10 to 15 sets per body part, and forgetting all the complicated chit. This is kind of how both of us trained 20 years ago.
