    Stuck to the Chilean part as we only had a few weeks and it would have been a nuisance to take the rental car across the border. Drove the Carretara Austral down from Puerto Montt to Rio Tranquilo and then across Lago General Carreta to Chile Chico to visit the Jeinimeni section of Patagonia...

    A few weeks in Patagonia without lifting, drinking way too much wine (and those pisco/calafate sours), and eating too much rich, heavy food… and bench dropped from 280 my last workout before leaving to 255 in my first workout back. Hedonism :lol2:

    Thanks. Really happy with it. More of a normal stance, little bit of back arch, but nothing wild. Not too wide a grip. When (if) I hit 3 plates, I’ll definitely post a video of it here on the Tuz.

    @GordoDeCentral You ever use dead bench to help build strength right off the chest? I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks and busted through a plateau around 112kg (247lbs) to move up to 124kg (273lbs). Going to cycle out of it for the next couple months. But definitely never felt this strong at...

    If you have a good surgeon he should be able to give you a recommendation (based on lifestyle, activity level, sports/fitness goals) as to whether surgery would be the better option for you or not.

    Looking good, bro. Jacked as fuck. If this is you looking pretty flat, don’t know what to say. Beast.

    :tup: Good going, dude. I squatted 80kg for 4 sets of 5 yesterday. So far from where I was pre-injury, but it feels good to push the weight over 60kg for the first time post-injury. No pain, minimal swelling. It’s the being on my feet all day, moving around, walking, etc that does a number on...

    My dear boy, no one stops doing squats and deadlifts to do snatches and cleans instead.

    Fair enough. I’m with you on the trend of having everyone deadlift/squat as a main workout component being silly… more so deadlifts imo. I find the functional aspect of squats (don’t need to be heavy), mobility, stability, and loading the posterior chain (helps promote bone density and prevent...

    You prefer machines to free weights? Or just to push ups?

    Insane how long he spent paused at the bottom. O lifters are ridiculous. There’s this video of Tian Tao pause front squatting 240kg and looking like it wasn’t even hard. But I guess he’s front squatted 280 or 285 so that sorta makes sense. 1639023628 His 280kg front squat: That Ilya Ilyin...

    You should just quit working out, start eating more junk food, and get fat.

    There’s really no point in trying to specifically isolate the abdominal muscles. It doesn’t do anything productive for you, and it’s not at all an effective way to to train them. Work them in weightlifting compounds or in bodyweight exercises that focus on body control and stability. For...
