Switching to hook grip for deadlifts. Feels a lot more secure than double overhand but my thumbs hurt like hell. It'll be some light weights as I acclimate to this.

Yeah it definitely takes some acclimation but once you get used to it you feel nothing. You'll see a lot of people complain about nerve damage and numbness but w/e

I suspect mixed grip has been aggravating an old lower back injury because of the torsion.

So my protein whey has 120 calories and 24 grams of protein, so assuming I want the same amount of calories how much protein will cum have? 29 grams.
How much cum do you need to drink in order to get this much protein? Assuming you want 120 calories of cum you need 583ml or roughly a liittle above half a liter of cum.

Talk about a hard thing to swallow!

agreed. I'm not some lifting guru but if the purpose of deadlifts is train your legs and lower back, then who gives a gently caress about grip.

Running/endurance sports are cool in general when you realize how fast the human body is capable of going.

the only thing that sucks about it, is getting down to say... a 4:30 minute mile or even an 18 minute 5K you lose a poo poo ton of muscle, and you can kiss heavy squats, deadlifts and bench out the window.

YMMV but it's been my experience and those around me.

Thinking about setting up a small workout area in my new place. I think I have enough room to squeeze something practical in here. It is carpet though. Maybe a squat rack/adjustable bench setup. Anyone ever used those bowflex or powerblock adjustable dumbells? The ones that go up to 90 are really expensive. Probably going to try to get everything off craigslist, we'll see. But just need an olympic bar, 4 45s, and a handful of smaller increments. I'm also on the bottom floor thankfully so no concern there. The carpet isn't too thick or cumbersome but maybe i'll look into some sort of tiles to set down in a small area.


Anyone got some pics of their setup they can post?

I'm on campus at the moment so no pictures, but I purchased the top-of-the-line (3x3 11ga supports, 84" high) NewYork Barbell Squat Rack with high/low lat-pull attachment, and have a cheapo powerlifting-type bar (31mm, center knurl) and a decent amount of iron plates (6x45, 2x25, 4x10, 2x5, 2x2.5). I also have a FID bench, dip stand, dip belt, gymnastic rings (set low like a TRX), olympic EZ-Curl bar, olympic plate dumbell handles, a bunch of handles for the high/low lat-pull, a full set of pairs of bands (micro mini to super heavy), a pair of 16kg kettlebells and a 32kg kettlebell. Here's my general advice, based on what I've learned from building my home gym:

- The above dude recommending horse-stall mats is right. Get them, they will protect your floor, your weights and your wallet. They will make your house smell like rubber for a week but it goes away.

- Focus on multi-use items, as the amount of space this takes up skyrockets quickly. Buy from brands that have a lot of accessories available as attachments to whatever rack you get to minimize the number of large stand-alone parts. I've never used decline bench, and rarely bothered with incline (I just do standing press and flat bench) so I could have gotten a much higher quality bench if I had bought just a simple flat bench.

- Buying olympic bars off Craigslist is a crapshoot. I spent a lot of time learning exactly what to look for in a bar in terms of condition, and I would have gotten scammed at least three or four times before I found the bar I bought if I hadn't. It's really hard to eyeball whether a bar is slightly bent, and I had at least one person try and pass off a cheap CAP as a York, since both are the same size and have the same markings. Ultimately I bought a cheap bar from someone who was at least honest and gave a good price - I probably would have looked forever if I was trying to find a decent price on a real quality bar. The iron I bought all at the same time for a really good price, since it's much harder to lie about hunks of metal. I ended up buying all 'Weider Hammertone' plates from a guy who was leaving the area; they are sorta poo poo, but I was able to pick them up for less than 70 cents per pound.

- If you cheap out on the bar and weights like I did, invest in a pair of 10lb/5kg spin-lock compression collars. Ivanko, Eleiko and Fringesport all make them, there's probably more knockoffs out there too. They're about $125 a pair from good brands, but they lock the weights nicely into place so there's no plate slop, which is really nice for deadlifts and powercleans. I'm talking about these: http://www.fringesport.com/collections/weightlifting-accessories/products/vaughn-weightlifting-weightlifting-collars-pair (unlike NYBB, I really really recommend Fringesport. Their customer service reps have done right by me on several occasions and their prices are fair and include shipping).

If I was to do it all again, I'd probably get a Rogue HR-2 half-rack or S-2 squat stand with safety spotter arms and plate storage, an actual decent oly bar with bumper plates, a flat bench, and the rings. I enjoy having the full cage, the lat-pull, and the incline bench, but ultimately they get less use than the suspension rings, pull-up/dips and "big three" lifting, which you can do with just the stand. The stand also dominates the room less, costs slightly less money, and is much lighter when PCSing. Rogue stuff costs a brand premium, but has really awesome rack accessories, like a GHD, reverse hyper, dip station, plate storage, etc. Adjustable dumbells are nice, but really expensive and IMO not really necessary.

Tough Mudder complete. Here's a little copy/paste from the obstacle course thread.

vulturesrow posted:

Yesterday was the day. Really nice day for it, temperature was just right and clear skies. I had a good time for the most part. My pace dropped off at about the 4 mile mark which was pretty good considering how little run specific training I did leading up to it. At mile 7 I got a cramp and by mile 8 I was full on cramping until the end of the race. The thick red clay mud and constant up and downhills from mile 8-9 really exacerbated the cramps and made it impossible to recover. I'm not sure where the cramps came from since I thought I hydrated pretty well leading up to the race but I guess I didn't. But I finished. If I do another one I will definitely do some more run specific training.

The obstacles I didn't find to be overly challenging, again as expected, since I primarily strength train normally. One obstacle, a revamp of an old obstacle had an hour waiting line. It was ridiculous. This was right between mile 2-3 IIRC. The worst obstacle was Arctic Enema. Electroshock wasn't bad at all. I got tagged 2 or 3 times but it didnt hurt, just made me jerk a little.

Oh yeah, apparently it was a one day event because there are still blue laws in this part of the world (cant sell alcohol on Sundays). LOL bible belt.

NOT A RACIST
Going on a leadership course (dunno what the equivalent is in the US), so I need a program. Lately I've been doing Westside For Skinny Bastards, 3-4 a week of upper body max, upper body rep, lower body dynamic (oly lifts), and lower body max, plus sporadic BJJ (want to do x2 a week but busy lately).

So, knowing this dumb course will have lots of PT that I suck at (pushups, pullups, running) I want to focus on the next few months until June on conditioning, since right now Im just fat, and my history of lifting has me slowly turning into a centaur with all the oly lifting, and 5x5.

However, what I do love, are weight oriented conditioning like Farmer walks, drags, and prowler pushes/runs, and I like sprinting intervals/HIIT. So, what can I do that will keep my lifting somewhat heavy (I know since Ill be conditionning and losing weight, I wont have any gains), keep doing BJJ, and incorporating some type of conditioning in? Its hard to find legitimate conditioning programs from actual S&C sources that aren't stupid Men's Fitness magazine full of "blast your core!" poo poo. Just right now, I know Ill be throwing in pushups and pullups into all the Maximum Repetition workouts in WFSBs, but Im sure there's a better way to do all this.

Just add in pft work 2-3 times a week to what your doing right now. 1 day do a mock pft to gauge your progress and so there won't be any surprises game day, then the other 2 days do intervals of both slow and controlled(to build dat muscle) and speed (to build up endurance and learn to move more efficiently) sets. Keep rest periods 1-2 minutes between mock pft events, and 30seconds -1 minute for the other days. I usually save the running until afterwards. 1/4 mile intervals one day, then 1/2 mile intervals the other

On mock pft days, try and do it first before anything else so you're fresh

That's pretty much it.
