smertrioslol posted:Sporadic horrible crap. Mostly just a lot of pyramiding weight up and down for compound lifts. Well there's your problem right there. If you're having form problems, fixing that poo poo will be good to do so you're on the right track there. Maybe do a specific routine like Texas Method for deadlift and 5x5 for squat, bench? I feel like you probably haven't tapped out all of your easy gains on those lifts yet. Then again, I don't know how tall or big you are. Go in the powerlifting thread. Ask those guys for some are much, much smarter and have been doing this a lot longer than I have.

It was really loving cool that all the crossfit people were loading up multiple barbells at the base hangar/gym today thereby sucking up every free plate. I had to resort to swiping the ones I needed from some of their barbells that sat unused in between sets. Bunch of assholes.

vacation in kabul posted:I actually complained to the owner of the gym I go to (it's a very small gym, I pay 20 bucks a month) about how the trainers hog all of the equipment for all the fatasses and soccer moms that come in to do crossfit, he said it's unfortunate but they make bank off of their personal trainers and no one ever comes in asking about anything BUT crossfit these days. I really don't understand the rationale at all, when I look around the gym the dudes that are either huge or cut or whatever aren't ever doing that stupid rear end bullshit. I did the WOD for like a week and a half in Iraq and then tried to do a crossfit program with a SGM who "learned it at a Ranger Batt" for a while and I don't think it helped me advance in my lifts or anything and I probably hurt myself once or twice. I would seriously love to know where its appeal lies outside of being a fad. Probably because you go with some of your friends, do oly/powerlifting poo poo for 40 minutes a few times, a week and feel like you did something. In reality, you're just a loving tool who sucks up weights, barbells, space, and is a general loving annoyance to anyone who's trying to get poo poo done before heading to work or home.

^^^^^^ I wouldn't say it's less technical. They're doing oly/powerlifting where technique is the name of the game. If anything, many of them should be paying more attention to their form instead of what their time is in Helen or whatever. Functional strength is a buzz word much the way paleo is or wearing deadlifting socks when pulling 150lb for you is a real kick in the balls. One could say "strength" or "healthy eating" but when you dance them up in fancy terms, it makes it seem like it's new and super important. My ability to pick up several hundred pounds of weight off the floor is no different than the way a CFer applies that strength. I know a few of them who've said they see it as a means to survive if the world collapses. Yea. You're right, Veins, it's a loving fad.

Veins McGee posted:Since the emphasis isn't on getting massively swole/strong, some of the technical aspects of lifting are removed. You no longer have to worry about setting up a routine or a diet. You just have to do the workout. Its simple. Like you said, you still have to know how to do a lift but you don't have to worry about dietary macros or supplements, etc. That, to me, seems like a waste of time then. So what is the point of lifting a weight if you don't intend on understanding how to diet at least on a basic level or even understand why you do a lift? There's a lot of, "I see strong dudes take protein shakes, so I'm gonna take a protein shake after kipping because that = strong." Like I'm happy to see more people out lifting and stuff and especially doing oly stuff which is really cool but there is a huge gulf of knowledge missing that many of them don't seem to give a poo poo about but hey they eat Paleo so cool. I don't mean to be super mad about this stuff. I had a super lovely experience lifting at their l'il base hangout but did get to watch a very pregnant woman slam a barbell repeatedly into her belly. I sure hope that baby knows that its host is a massive oval office for doing that.

^^^^ Who knows man. I'm of the opinion that smart accessory work is a help. But yea, eat more, rest more, lift more is always the simplest solution. Ya that but not as stupid looking. Set up in a cage with a proper bench. Do sets of 5 and triples . It'll take some experimentation to figure out what weights are good. If you wanna be a sperg, use about 60-70% of your 1RM. Too easy or hard, adjust weight. At least 3 sets at the end of bench day. That's how I do it when I do rack work.

whatspeakyou posted:Every time I take Assault on an empty stomach, I'm making GBS threads in the gym prior to lifting anything. It's a 100% guarantee that should be on the bottle somewhere. It's playing with fire though. I got the timing on when to take it on my drive to the gym down pretty good but I've had to divert once before making GBS threads myself. Lucky for me I picked the only secured facility on the flight line road and had to be escorted in then the dude had to stand outside the bathroom while I'm there wrecking their toilet. Ya good times.

I was a while away from making it but it was a cool long term goal and fantasy to have my face on a wall staring at all the scrubs with chicken legs. It can still be a great long-term goal to do it just no picture.

Manmower posted:How does CrossFit compare to a program like p90x? p90x currently seems pretty convenient for me as I can do it at home, but the cardio seems a bit light. Currently supplementing it with lots of running on the side and it seems to do the trick. From what I've heard being able to run fast and often is the most useful skill in the military, but this advice is coming from folks who don't exactly look like they do a lot of cardio. Lift weights 3 times a week, do cardio 2 times a week. ~fitness~

The gluten free crowd are aggravating as poo poo. I'm pretty happy eating decently about 80% then doing poo poo like buffalo wings and whole wheat pizza regularly too. Probably why I view bodybuilders as insane with their strict rear end diets. I could never eat that cleanly or I'd lose my sanity.

I've done a low carb diet in the past. I'm talking <60 per day. The cravings were so food specific. It wasn't like a, "I'm hungry for anything." They were a, "I FCOULD CRUSH ABOUT 3 POUNDS OF PASTA RIGHT NOW" Was really low energy though. Dragging rear end for days.

nous_ posted:P90x is incredibly overpriced/overhyped but the core principles of muscle confusion are well documented. You can get much of the same effect without buying into P90x, just incorporate basic muscle confusion into your workouts. For example before a leg day, spend some time visualizing leg workouts and getting psychologically pumped up to work your legs, and then at the very last minute switch to a shoulder workout (don't think about the shoulders beforehand to maximize muscle confusion).I have a whole bunch of little tricks I use to up the intensity. Pretty sure that article was talking about varying exercises, weights, and reps; not actually trying to pull a fast one over some muscle fibers or some poo poo with like a mental feint.

So I was going through my log last night. The first weight lifting session I had done a year ago to the date ended with 6x290 deadlift. One year of busting my rear end paid off. Just pulled 10x390. Pretty happy about that. Edit: didn't have to pull a fast one over my hamstrings either. bloops fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Apr 22, 2013 |
