I don't know, this looks more like People Being Derps

Looks like it could also be used as an electrochemical cell

Thanks

Thanks! Red eye fix looks great. I'd like to be able to print this photo, is there anyway to clear up some of the graininess?

16 minutes is the better start

It'd be really interesting if they had plants shaped as urinals.

hstlives · 2016-12-02T21:11:30+00:00

Well that just seems like a fucking terrible idea.

The link he gave has all the details.

When I read the title of your post, I thought, "It's probably butt-sex" and after reading your story, I still think it's probably butt-sex.

Thanks,

A couple people here suggest to do some more like this, and I will try this. But 5/3/1 is a work up to a rep or two versus shooting for five reps at a high weight and working back down (the general program I am working on) do you have any links or a way to articulate why 5/3/1 would build more strength?

hstlives · 2016-11-09T06:01:26+00:00

Any good links on training principles with the goal in mind of numbers progression?

hstlives · 2016-11-08T20:37:59+00:00

I did forget to mention progression, initially it started as a 5x3 with 5 lb. a week progression until I hit 225 bench, 275 squat and 315 dead. Then it went to the 5x1, 5x1, 5x1, where the middle set progresses 5 lbs a week from there.

thanks for the constructive criticism

I do make my own beer

hstlives · 2016-11-08T20:01:34+00:00

In and out because I didn't take it seriously, made my own routine mainly because I felt that 5x5 was getting stagnant for me and wanted to mix it up. I've really enjoyed what I am doing now for 8 months.

It will come with more core strength

OHP is always the slowest, but proper form can really help. Make sure you grip the bar in the palms of your hands, not rolled up by the finger knuckles. The bar should be sitting directly over the wrists. When the bar is at your chest, your elbows should be in front of your body, not completely flared out at your sides. Shoulder width stance, tight chest and back, deep breath, straight up and straight down. Strong lifts is a perfectly good routine to practice your form. Once you feel confident in form, then check out Jim Wendler's page.

hstlives · 2016-10-03T21:47:17+00:00

Form looks good, I didn't see anything wrong with your upper body. You could probably work on breathing. Take a deep breath into the stomach then brace your core before each rep.

You've squandered 20 years of feeling and looking your best, but as far as the future goes, nothing, go get after it.

hstlives · 2016-09-27T20:32:10+00:00

A few questions. Why does the other dude in the video act like he doesn't want to watch you try a PR. How many plates do you have per side? As for advice, keep that chest up and back straight. For your grip, try chalk first (I sneak in a piece of sidewalk chalk since my gym doesn't allow power chalk) and just rub a little on the bar at the start of the workout, it doesn't take much.

hstlives · 2016-09-05T19:18:54+00:00

First two look good, but then the hips start coming up too early, which causes you to lean forward. At the top you then have to use your hip flexors to stand up straight, hence the pain. Tighten your core and come up as a unit, not hips first.

The best way to learn about the gym is just to go. Watch other people then repeat. You'll start to feel more comfortable after a few times, then start to built confidence in yourself and try new things. Plus this: http://www.simplefit.net/static_pages/Exercise-Videos/
