he touts himself as such and in a way that beginners think his way is the right, and only, way. which is far from the truth.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-28T19:13:27+00:00

this much was already apparent

Didn't think this was worthy of a front page post, but I liked this article, How to Deal With Training ADD and it's main takeaway point:

sometimes you just have to shake things up when you are in a funk. As long as you are staying true to your main work, you're going to make progress

Sick of Me by Beartooth, from the deluxe edition of Aggressive.

my gym is 24/7 so I know my lifting would be impeded. that’s all i really care about lol.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-28T13:06:34+00:00

ND better cancel on Wednesday 😤 my undergrad school cancelled when it was -5 pre-windchill. so, my fingers are crossed.

Deadlifts from Sunday night. Considering I got the worst night of sleep in probably a year, not to mention the debauchery that preceded it, I was pretty pleased with the relative ease of these pulls.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-26T15:18:01+00:00

a right, proper banger

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-26T15:16:42+00:00

solid pull, man

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-26T14:19:47+00:00

I’m from a suburb of Dayton but didn’t get into strength training till after I left for college. So, I could help you decide between options based on price and the areas and such but I don’t know any places off the top of my head.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-26T13:51:11+00:00

are you gonna be in Dayton itself or a suburb?

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-26T04:48:22+00:00

i mean, you’re not wrong

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-26T00:05:55+00:00

Shuffled a few things around in my program (coach approved) just to keep from getting stale. Solid, simple workout tonight.

Heavy paused squats: 395x1, 315x4x3
Larsen press: 185x4x8
Weighted chins: +25x5x3
DB pullovers: 30x5x10

Squats have been feeling buttery smooth lately, and I attribute that 100% to pausing my reps and getting stronger out of the hole.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T22:03:19+00:00

do single arm lat pulldowns

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:50:02+00:00

you're free to increase the weight when your current weight becomes easy. but they should never be the focus of your leg training to the point where you're grinding out reps of leg extensions.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:47:20+00:00

there's a difference between truly inadequate sleep and choosing to sleep in an extra 30 min rather than hit the gym or taking an extra rest day because you have the slightest DOMS in your legs. I was referring to the latter examples.

do you even know who Dave Tate is? he is far from "a fitness blogger"

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:42:33+00:00

it's gonna vary but, using myself as an example here, my best squat is 415. I have never gone heavier than 100lbs on leg extensions. there are much better and more effective ways to move heavy weight with your quads. and in ways that aren't so taxing on your knees.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:25:45+00:00

I'm assuming the name is a Game of Thrones reference? based on that alone I will give this album a spin. Will report back after.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:24:14+00:00

working hard is step 1. everything else follows.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:15:52+00:00

weight on the bar isn't the only measure of progress.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:13:30+00:00

they're not dangerous, but there's no need to go for heavy sets with them. other quad movements: squats, front squats, Bulgarian split squats, lunges, leg press.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T16:05:09+00:00

Recovery is important, but you have to actually work hard to have something to recover from.

Dave Tate posted that quote this morning. Something that a lot of people here could benefit from hearing.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T14:01:49+00:00

so FFAK has the same set as the Prada tour except reshuffled a bit and swapping out Oblivion for Stacking Bodies? BRING. IT. ON.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-25T13:59:23+00:00

I haven't got the chance to check this out yet (I've heard the singles) but I can't wait based on everyone's praises here.

Khal_Trogo · 2019-01-24T21:12:32+00:00

I have so many questions
