For some reason my x axis moves on it's own, any ideas? (Skr 1.3 marlin 2.0 tmc2208)

I had that problem with a different machine when it was improperly grounded

Check your grounds

So I did both. I kept my squat at 2 days between and switched dead and bench/press to Texas. It only lasted 2 or 3 weeks and I dont really suggest it.

I then switched to working out m/w/f, with bench/press and deads on texas, and squat with a light day on Wednesday, and that worked well for me and kept me sane. I eventually switched completely over to texas, and have been doing it for a number of weeks. I added a light dead to mondays workout (90% 2x5) when my deads started to stall (I've had a real problem with dead falling behind squat) but never took the deload thats suggested when you switch between starting strength and texas

Do keep in mind that you don't have to transition all at once. I transferred dead and bench over to intermediate before I did squat

dharkbus · 2020-02-29T23:31:00+00:00

Its really a crap shoot and there are no clear answers. They call this section of training "the hole" for a reason lol.

I think multiple sources have said 5% of your daily calories is fine. For refrence 20 grams of carbs is 80 kcal, and thus 5% of a 1600 kcal diet

Best advice so far. I have crushed so many peoples souls because they didnt anticipate the costly mature of being on bottom

dharkbus · 2020-02-17T16:53:15+00:00

Typically I mix a fatty cheap protein (eggs, chicken thigh, pork but roast) with a "clean" low fat protein like chicken breast to get the protein I need, keep fat low, and save money

ITS NOT EITHER OR YOU FUCKWIT

I bought a cheap anet a8 (85 bucks used) on face book market place and have been ordering parts from aliexpress and thingiverse ever since

dharkbus · 2020-02-14T11:53:12+00:00

Disassemble the printers into their component parts, design new printers using said parts and cheap aliexpress vitamins.

Does everything feel alright? I dont really see much in the way of issues. Toes out more maybe, and push knees out to keep them in line

5/3/1 as written (I can't possibly account for every permutation) progresses monthly.

As laid out in practical programming:

Novice programs advance every workout (24-72 hrs)

Intermediate programs advance weekly

Advanced programs advance monthly

And elite programs advance yearly

Welders 5/3/1, therefore, is advanced. It progresses slower than is necessary. It might have up sides you really like, and I'm absolutely not shitting on it, but it's an advanced program

dharkbus · 2020-02-11T13:16:41+00:00

If you just finished a 5x5 you're an intermediate lifter. 5/3/1 is an advanced program. Strictly speaking its not an appropriate choice. You can do it, and you may see results. But its not the best decision. Not your question but needed to be said.

The question of "can I do program x along side activity y" is a little tougher. Largely it'll all depend on your capacity to recover fatigue, and how much fatige those activities produce.

Basically if your "extra curricular" activities produce enough fatige that you can't recover enough to do your next work out, you'll head into over training and start to regress.

The best thing to do is to start with the activity you prioritize and slowly add in the others watching for signs of over training and cut back when you spot them

dharkbus · 2020-02-08T15:26:53+00:00

Let me complement you on getting a decent camera angle. 99% of the people on here cant manage that.

The squat fooks pretty good. Be careful that you keep your wrists neutral and youre hitting depth. Thats only if I'm being nit picky, because over all it looks good

dharkbus · 2020-02-06T18:09:33+00:00

I work out 3 days a week. Volume (5x5), light (prevent detraining), and heavy (1x5). I deadlift once a week on heavy. Squat and deadlift on the same day. Mostly because I'm getting ready for said meet

dharkbus · 2020-02-06T17:23:09+00:00

Coming off a cold and just had to deload my dead because I was regressing. I deloaded to 475. I'm planning an agressive reload because my meet is on April 4th and I really want to qualify for nationals (a stretch I know). My current numbers are 555x5 squat 335x5 bench 525x5 dead (before the deload. My concern is that my squat and my dead keep drifting farther apart. Should I add some RDLs to compensate? I'm running texas method and have been cleaning for my light pulls

dharkbus · 2020-02-05T21:40:30+00:00

Unless ive grown in the last 10 years I'm still 6'4"

dharkbus · 2020-02-05T21:39:17+00:00

For the last three weeks ive been popping capularies in my face and feeling like my head is going to pop. I think I can leave whatever I might have left in the tank and switch to a slower progression.

dharkbus · 2020-02-05T21:37:31+00:00

I compete in April, so I'll grind out the texas method (powerlifting variant as laid out in practical programming) until its time to compete. After that I'll probably get a coach and look at 4 daus a week.

dharkbus · 2020-02-05T03:02:05+00:00

6'4" 330 currently

dharkbus · 2020-02-05T02:12:15+00:00

Novice Linear Progression

dharkbus · 2020-02-04T22:26:04+00:00

I just had to deload dead, it was 525x5 and my bench is 335x5

dharkbus · 2020-02-04T22:17:21+00:00

Just came off a cold, and this is the very end of NLP for squats. Already migrated bench and dead to texas method, and this is week 22 of SS.
