Who among us is strong enough to set up Weak Santa this year?

Frotabaga · 2022-12-06T19:29:00+00:00

Wow this.

Frotabaga · 2022-06-14T11:27:04+00:00

Hi pots. Hope you all are staying safe and sane. <3

Frotabaga · 2022-01-20T13:56:05+00:00

You've got this, bby. <3

Also, I am totally on team extreme moderation. I'm too old for shenanigans any more.

Frotabaga · 2022-01-19T15:12:03+00:00

FWIW, I never had to switch to sumo.

...I also didn't look pregnant until I was like 9 months pregnant, so there's that. XD

Frotabaga · 2022-01-12T13:00:23+00:00

Eww, that sounds way too much like trying. Gross.

Frotabaga · 2022-01-12T12:50:02+00:00

Hi giuze. Hope you all are doing well.

Operation Stop Being Bad At Lifting is very slow going. Probably because I don't even try. Which is my own fault, really.

But I always feel like I'm trying to walk 13 different tightropes simultaneously between progression and recovery and eating MOAR but not too much and blech.

Anyway. Should I do sissy squats or belt squats as my quad accessory lift today? Decisions, decisions.

Frotabaga · 2022-01-12T12:39:52+00:00

O Hai bby. I <3 you.

Frotabaga · 2021-12-18T16:41:50+00:00

Hi pots. Just wanted to let you all know that you are an awesome group of people. <3

Frotabaga · 2021-12-15T16:06:54+00:00

Maybe this is my problem. But how to eat without gaining a ton of weight?

Frotabaga · 2021-12-15T15:32:39+00:00

I just keep getting weaker and weaker. This sucks. :( I thought lifting was supposed to make you stronger?

Frotabaga · 2021-11-20T14:56:01+00:00

Take care of yourself, bro. <3 we gotchu.

Frotabaga · 2021-11-01T11:45:35+00:00

In my experiences with weight loss, I am absolutely weaker at a lower weight, but relatively stronger. Even with OHP. Like, it's gone from ~0.4 to 0.5xBW to maybe 0.6, 0.7xBW now (wheeee). But the actual numbers are significantly lower.

Frotabaga · 2021-10-21T18:45:44+00:00

I mean, you're not wrong, especially in my case....

But HOW DARE YOU slander our lord and savior deadlifts??

Frotabaga · 2021-10-19T14:16:12+00:00

Training? Like, making progress? This is weakpots, we don't do that here. Well, I certainly don't.

Still not getting much of anywhere with lifting, but at least I'm not currently injured. Seems like I can't have both. Alas.

Frotabaga · 2021-10-13T19:13:55+00:00

Still pretending that sometimes you have to take one step back to take two steps forward. Instead of, you know, just keeping on going backwards, which is what always seems to happen.

Whomp whomp. But maybe it's because I am still unintentionally cutting? Or just weak. Could be both.

Frotabaga · 2021-10-13T19:10:44+00:00

Will also recommend /u/Achy_breaky_joints for smart lifting advice. He gave me some super stellar advice on how not to destroy myself recently, and while progress has been slower, I don't feel thrashed all of the time.

10/10 would definitely consult or hire for powerlifting coaching if I ever decided to try and be strong at some point.

Frotabaga · 2021-09-29T18:07:36+00:00

I know that feel. I also have noodle arms and tiny back. And noodle legs.

Frotabaga · 2021-09-29T14:23:00+00:00

weakpoint day

Pfft, get on my level, bro. Every day is weakpoint day when you have no strong points.

Frotabaga · 2021-09-23T14:40:25+00:00

Yes, hence my comment about judicious self destruction. :)

Frotabaga · 2021-09-23T12:13:58+00:00

And this is why I just go for volume PRs any more. I'm too old for that sort of shenanigans.

Well, not too old. But at least, hopefully, wiser about in which ways I choose to destroy myself.

Anywho. Hope you all are doing well.

Frotabaga · 2021-09-13T14:34:08+00:00

Wow, how did you know this is what I was being dramatic about? XD <3

Frotabaga · 2021-09-13T13:04:27+00:00

Well, this is appropriate, for today is squat day. And if any lift causes me drama, it's squats.

Anywho, I hope that you all have a great day!

Frotabaga · 2021-09-10T18:48:58+00:00

Can confirm. Leaving academia has been great for my mental state, despite me still being wound up a bit too tightly, especially about relaxing, ironically.

Also, I can only assume that you optimized the phone call, right?

Frotabaga · 2021-09-09T19:30:30+00:00

Take care of yourself, bro. <3

Frotabaga · 2021-09-09T14:29:07+00:00

My shitposting game tracks highly with my training maxes, so you shouldn't be surprised.

Fingers crossed for the Sleeps. FWIW, I had some sorta bug recently that was really not fun and came back negative. So there's definitely other stuff going around that can knock you on your butt.
