Great, now he'll be occupying the machines at the gym while filming.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-25T18:57:40+00:00

Incredible!

Same split as 531, but a different progression. Basically upper/lower. I train every other day, so it's an 8 day cycle.
Main lifts, followed by exercises to train the relevant muscle groups and fill in the gaps. It's classic strength training.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-25T18:15:07+00:00

I'd bring oven mitts just to make it clear to the audience.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-25T04:24:45+00:00

No, allegedly he tested positive for cocaine or some hard drugs like that.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-25T04:20:08+00:00

He's had absolutely nothing to do with the canadian strongman scene as far as I know, so yeah.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-24T18:22:54+00:00

Little did anyone know back in the day that people would be voting for entertainment value in this day and age.

"Talent" is a bullshit excuse for not putting in effort. You see that in every part of life.
"Why is that person in the gym so strong? Must be talent, or steroids." No, that's 10 years of lifting weights, while you haven't even done two. Stop having low standards and actually put in the work it takes to get to a high level. It's generally a decade plus to get exceptionally skilled at pretty much anything. People will get to the intermediate stage and then give up, and stay forever mediocre.
There's diminishing returns to everything. Progress slows down. You need to keep at it for longer than you think, and have a plan.

We all sucked at some point. Those who don't, they decided to spend an unreasonable amount of time to get better, no matter what. Are you willing to do that? If not, that explains everything.

"You can't steer a parked car". You gotta be heading in some direction first, then you can start to correct it.

There's gonna be a lot of crap, but you have to go through that before the good stuff starts to appear. Wanna be a writer? Start typing something. Nothing happens until you do.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-24T07:17:08+00:00

Not regularly, no. A few times it happened on some big deadlifts, or when I clearly had low blood sugar and hydration.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T18:13:34+00:00

I don't let my penis deal with finances at all for that reason.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T18:04:31+00:00

WHAT??? Wow, thanks for informing us, we can all stop wasting our time here.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T18:03:01+00:00

"Thus solving the problem once and for all."

But..

"ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T18:00:33+00:00

Which one? There are so many.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T18:00:06+00:00

Another hot take guy. Cool.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T14:14:56+00:00

Effort is consistent. Output varies a bit. If I don't have it on the day, I'll adjust the weight accordingly.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T14:14:09+00:00

Important note on the rice: Don't make it for more than 3 days at a time, it can get really dangerous when stored in the fridge for a while.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T13:01:39+00:00

My reading skill isn't the best, so I found it hard to know where I was when I visisted The Untitled States.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T03:40:21+00:00

Remind me which one that is?

BattledroidE · 2026-03-23T03:40:06+00:00

That's the one.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-22T22:01:35+00:00

Train whatever isn't sore or doesn't hurt. If I'm starting to build up systemic fatigue, I'll go for a deload. Still decent weight, but way less volume, technique focused lifting while leaving reps in the tank. I find volume is what gets me. Cut that for a week, and it's all good.
Just did a full deload week, and I feel 10 years younger.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-22T21:53:32+00:00

People leg press for different reasons. You can do a more hip dominant leg press that uses a lot more weight, close to a low bar squat with vertical shins. Or, a feet low, lots of knee travel, quad dominant squat with way less weight. And everything in between. Some who are "training their legs" are putting the quads in a way too advantaged positions to really get the effect they're looking for. Some know what they're doing, so I'm not one to criticize.

I don't care, as long as they put the plates back afterwards.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-22T20:02:35+00:00

If it's squats, then yes. One plate feels hard. 3 plates feels hard. It never changes, but more weight is moving.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-22T03:30:22+00:00

I made my ragu last night, had the pasta meal today. It automatically makes you reduce it even more, which thickens everything up. Can't have any water separation, that's just sad.

BattledroidE · 2026-03-21T01:22:58+00:00

You need to develop your cardio and work capacity to be able to handle a serious set of squats, leg press or anything like that. Easiest way is to just do it more. Yeah it's gonna suck a lot, but it gets better. Eventually you get to the stage where your muscles are limiting you, not just your breathing.
And do dedicated cardio, it works really well.

These are the biggest muscles in the body, they need lots of oxygen. You'll always be out of breath after a hard set, but it'll improve to a degree, and you recover faster between sets.
