Tsk never skip leg day!

I've never understood why people skip legs. Grantes squats is a pain but deadlifting is pure love.

Anyways muscle imbalances = injury and to be really strong you need a solid lower body+the sex when you got stronk glutes.. (zach mode)

Oh, well. Push day today Dat pump!

The most gay thread on the forum.

What do you guys think about belts ? I personally don't use one , I know a lot of people who do though and they tell me i can afford to not use it because I am still doing low weights . Is it neccessary having a belt when you start lifting heavy weights ?

Belts are by non powerlifters nearly allways used for the wrong reasons.
A belt does not make your back "safer" when doing it wrong. Its not a corset that a mason with cerebral injuries uses to completely lock the spine.
What a belt does, is allow you to increase your abdominal pressure by a large degree, wich helps you to keep form and stability.


A belt is something that you only close, just before an excercise. If you are running around in a closed belt all the time, its simply a show accecory and is doing absolutely nothing.


I got a belt with a lever. If i close that, i'll be able to keep it on for max 1 minute before i'm getting trouble inhaling. I use it for squatting +60% and deadlifting +50%.
If you see someone walk around in it, cause it improves his visual shape, he's just an idiot.

If you arent looking fatter when closing that belt thanks to abdominal skin getting pusher over it, then its simply not tight enough.

I like this "leg day" thing. I dont get how people skip it. Hence i dont understand how you can.
If i'm not doing eighter a squat or deadlift each training, i dont even feel like i've trained.

Starting my Sheiko CM schedule today. Wich has 5 sets front squat first, then 7 sets benchpress, then 6 sets of regular squats.
The first week, only the 3rd day is a light leg day. And that has 6 sets of squats with 2 seconds pause at half position on the way down. Last 4 sets at 3x162.5.


Btw, its "the sex you have with stronk hip flexors". If you are straight that is.
@Hustini would benefit from strong glutes

I did leg day today, I don't mind it. Squats are fun.

 

[Zacheryah]

i'm missing my smolov allready
35 squats per day, 4 times a week


Alot of men admire their biceps contraction. I dont get this. Why look at a tiny biceps, when you can look at quadriceps who are 4 times bigger, and far more powerfull

 

[Dostoevsky]

It's gonna be ugly if you ignore either of it. It's not great looking if you have strong legs but arms like penises. And it's probably even worse when you have a great upper body but chicken legs.

 

[Zacheryah]

I hear all the time my arms would lag behind if i dont do biceps.

Well i never do biceps, but i do some form of benchpress 4 times per week. 5 When i was on RTS

Wouldnt say my biceps are tiny. Sure they are smaller compared to my traps and shoulders, but they arent tiny.

I prefer to call the latter the 'Johnny Bravo'.

Yeah I know what you mean. When I was on 5x5 I never did biceps lol. I never did a biceps exercise for like 7 months and it grew more than before, though.

Yeah, it wont get so much definition, but it surely grows

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I never do them. Pullups are adequate imo, and curls are boring as shit

 

[Dostoevsky]

Biceps grow with many exercises, not just pullups. Bentover rows is also nice.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Yup. Actually my side forearms (wot), dont know what theyre called, are looking nice these days. I tink its da pull ups

 

[Zacheryah]

Thats from gripping the pull ups


Doing deadlifts with chalk instead of straps also help a great deal

Going around with belts is what what i generally see too . Another reason why I kind of am dubious and dislike belt users is because I have seen a lot of people who start pussying out when they take the belt off . My best deadlift up to this point has been 5x95 kg (no belt), while i have seen people that deadlift 5x160kg (with belt) but wouldn't dare even to deadlift 100kg without the belt . They get scared and as soon as they try lifting up they go "No no , I am gonna break , I need my belt" .

 

[ALC]

I don't use one and can deadlift 315 lbs. Not a lot but I don't train for it in particular. I'd like to get it up to four plates tho.

have you been doing "tower cock pushups" again against that premature ejaculation ?

When i deadlift 170kg for reps without a belt, i have to do more work then when i do 220kg for reps with a belt
its more extreme when doing squats. 120 for reps without belt feels like doing 170-180 with a belt for reps.

But i dont fear weight without a belt. When i did 250kg deadlift the first time, it was without a belt. And tbh, the 280 i did on saturday, was with a very crappy belt.



Should get a 13mm thick one from Inzer, but cant afford it currently

Baby arm pushups *

do baby arm apple grips to get the veins popping.
