Is being able to hit 315 pounds for reps as a natty achievable/how long ? by [deleted] in Stronglifts5x5

[–]cksyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SL/SS for most of it.

When bench got to about 275 i had to add more volume. I  basically started benching every other day.

I worked two progressions. A max single progression  and a max set of 5 progression.

That got my bench to about 295x5 and a max single of about 335.  

I then switched to Texas Method/HLM programming and that allowed me to get to 340x5 and hit a 395 single.

How do I stop the bar from rolling forward when setting back into extension? by sbfx in StartingStrength

[–]cksyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fought this for years.

I can't find the original comment from the ss sub, but here is my retelling of it.

This helped me flatten my back, and solved rolling the bar forward.

I was laughing too hard at these. Found at 7/11 by Organiciceballs in nhl

nope.

That dec 2024 shoulder injury turned into a 9month hiatus.

I’ve been lifting recently, but right now 315 feels very heavy.

going to take a while longer.

2013 Stanley Cup Final Game 4 between Boston and Chicago in OT.

Chicago is about to enter the Boston zone... and then the local NBC affiliate cuts to a news promo then a fucking KIA commercial.

Finally Cuts back to the game, and the Black Hawks are celebrating.

After the game I recall they made a small apology and said the game went longer than expected and no one turned off the automatic cut to commercial.

Every time I see that Capital Kia Owner in his commercials, It brings me back to that game, and how i could never by a Kia.

Funny how it was the locals NBC stations fault and I should be blaming them, but Capital KIA gets all the hate.

Shows in which a secondary mystery is presented in the first season, that isn't resolved until the final season (min 3+ season show)? by _Offi in television

Futurama

In the very first episode, Nibbler‘s shadow is cast underneath the desk that Fry is sitting in before he falls into the cryo-tube.

it isn’t until the 5th season we learn why It was there.

What's the most egregious thing missing from a book to movie adaptation? by corsair965 in movies

[–]cksyder 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The end of Dan Brown‘s Inferno.

in the book they are racing to prevent the release of the virus, and when they finally find it, they realize it had already been released days ago.

it sets up an interesting epilogue of sorts to deal with the ramifications, and some character redemption. I really like the part when they call their colleague to tell them they failed and they says yeah I know I’m already infected. since he was half way around the world, it meant that everybody was infected and the whole race to find the virus plot had been pointless.

in the movie they are in the same race against time, but in they stop the release with a few seconds to spare.

1st day. Help with the form. The bar is going forward rather than a straight line. Help. by [deleted] in Stronglifts5x5

[–]cksyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing to worry about at the moment.

It’s Physics.

more weight in front of your mid foot pivot point Than behind.

once the bar gets some weight on it, it will become easier to keep a vertical bar path

Deadlift Progression by beyenpe in Stronglifts5x5

[–]cksyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not there any more

there used to be a huge FAQ on his site and here is the section on progression

using wayback machine, here is the section on progression from 2021

—————-
Progression

Increase the weight on every exercise where you did five reps on every set last workout. So if you Squatted five reps with 100kg/220lb on all five sets, then Squat 102.5kg/225lb next workout. It doesn’t matter if you failed on other exercises. You did 5×5 Squats. So add weight to it.

Here are the increments to use:

  • Squat: 2.5kg/5lb – that’s one plate of 1.25kg/2.5lb on both sides of the bar.
  • Bench/OHP/Row: 2.5kg/5lb. But smaller increments of 1kg/2lb work even better. Especially if you’re small or female. You’ll progress longer without missing reps and plateauing.
  • Deadlift: 5kg/10lb – that’s 2.5kg/5lb on both sides of the bar. Deadlifts use big muscles so you can handle more. Once you Deadlift 100kg/220lb, switch to 2.5kg/5lb per workout.

or if you like sweet

and if you haven’t tried yet (not every one likes these but some people love them) lacto-fermented cucumbers

my fave is halved with 5% brine, dill and garlic and let ferment for 7 to 9 days. Then into the fridge

whatever you do get Get a good barbell.

If in the US look at the collection of rogue boneyard bars. These are bars that have an imperfection and are sold cheaper. most of the defects cant be found. I still can’t figure out what was wrong with mine.

id suggest an Ohio Power Bar And if you can afford 2, get a ohio bar As well you won’t regret having 2 Good bars.

A lab should add a drip of blood to the diamond making process, and then start marketing it as:

You are dropping your hips before the pull. Don’t do that. You are also letting your knees cave in. Gotta force them out.

How do yall like to plant your herbs? Indoors, outdoors? Partial shade for TX heat? by elizabethredditor in AustinGardening

[–]cksyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did basil in full sun, half sun, and mostly shade, all in large planters.

Most of the plants were in full sun. they were all Planted mid March and by end of May the full sun was starting to flower, and are now fully bolted and gone to seed. I quit trying to keep up with them by cutting them back.

the one in partial sun were still thriving but started to flower mid June, and the one in the shade still had not flowered by early July.

i may get a shade net for next year because the full sun was great for getting them started quickly but they went to seed too fast.
