Test boosters are BS IMO , improve you diet , stay hydrated , get enough rest and train accordingly , i think they work for people who think they have low testosterone but it might just be the placebo effect . Try some glucosamine/fish oil for the shoulders , some rear deltoid and rotator cuff exercises like face-pulls couldn't hurt either .

Anyone know if any powerlifing meets coming up? Been building strength pretty consistently , just wanna put up some numbers finally .

Anyone want to advise me on how I can up my 1RP max for deadlifts from 3 to 4 plates?

[X_Factor]

that was my goal last christmas untill i injured my back not even doing deadlift or squat
i stopped at 3 plates& 10 a side for 1 rep at around 3-400 cal deficit for 5 weeks ...stupes
that is not something that can be done over night

i dont believe in straps and belt and all that crap for under 4 plates so it was just chalk
i got injured in that stupid hack squat machine which i never did but tried it cause the squat rack was full and needed to get a leg work out, going down hip went off the pad and that was it...say what

my lifting schedule was to dead lift twice a week and increase 2.5lbs a side every other week., slow but proper..
one day focused on reps one day at around 80-85% max...
the other day work up to max
hit max and do 5 sets of 1 rep then drop and rep, the following week, increase and it was working fine
deadlift alone would last 1hr

initially i neglected core work, and when i really start targeting my core i felt more stable and secure while pulling the weight and it actually felt easier
was planking with 2 plates on my back for 90 seconds easy
hyper extensions with about 150lbs

Thanks much.

Why don't you do a home program, you need a foundation and there's no better way than pushups, dips, pullups and bodyweight squats. Never wasted money on a gym fee or supplements all my life. More important than exercise is managing your diet, cut the simple stuff like sugars and flour based products out completely, calorie dense items like fried foods, exercise more often and you'll get there. I like alot of fat in my diet personally, but cutting back on it is an option as well.

drinking a weight gainer everyday, eating 3200 - 3300 calories every day c more than sufficient (complex) carbs, creatine and still not gaining any significant weight, have a lot of energy in the gym though, and seeing more definition than before, but damn, muscle building is slow.

Looking at purchasing a bow flex home gym. Anyone here ever used one? If so, is it worth it? Also any places to check locally that might stock?

Guys do u really need a,back strap ?

[GOAT]

Managed to deadlift 155lbs yesterday on my last set for either 6 or 8 reps.
Happy with where I'm at with that.

On Saturday chest pressed 115lbs for all 5 sets but only managed to get up to 5 and 4 reps.

I did upright rows using the machine cables. You know those little single hand grip one well I threw on 2 and did rows.

Had stopped about a month after this post and only really started back about a month and a half ago.

Bench press is up to 125lbs for 5-8 reps, 135lbs for 3 reps.

Deadlift up to 215lbs for 5-8 reps and yesterday managed to move to 225lbs for 3 reps.

Squat 135lbs and overhead 85lbs both for 5 reps.

Trying to move up every week, forcing myself even if its dropping a rep or two and only doing 3 reps or so on my last set of 5.

Btw I realize that switching to mixed grip for the deadlift helps with me with not pulling the bar so thats a bonus.

Seeing real kidney failure with plenty men inside here

[meccalli]

Even just working out and not drinking enough water puts strain on the kidneys, particularly with strenuous exercise that attempts to break down muscle. Myoglobin is released into the bloodstream that the kidneys have to deal with. Elevated ck levels ain't no joke over time.

Kidney failure is something I've seen a lot of persons dying from for the past few years, young people mostly

Why are all these trainers both gym and private trainers have these young girls squatting well above parallel?

Anyways making ok progress.

Benching 135lbs for 3 reps.

Stuck a bit of the Deadlift, going between 215lbs and 225lbs for 5 reps, depending on the day.

Squats up to 155lbs for 3 reps.

Shoulder press kinda stuck at 85lbs for 3-5 reps.
Also 45lbs dumbells for 5-6 reps.

Think I should set year end goals now so....:

Bench - 175lbs
40lbs in 4 months.....tough but achievable.

Deadlift - 255lbs
25lbs should make that.

Squat - 195lbs.
40lbs, go up a 5 lbs every 2 weeks so 10 every month.

Shoulder press - 105lbs
20lbs - hardest exercise to move up but 5lbs a month should be attainable.

Why are they making them do back squats in the first place, a squat is an olympic lift, a strength feat. Leg extensions directly confront the quadriceps much more than a squat can thanks to simple biomechanics. If they insist on squatting, which is a great movement, having the weight off your torso and not loading your spine such in a hack or goblet squat or even leg press and cable squats is a much better option long term. The only way i'd be doing olympic styled barbell squats is if i'm trained by a pro powerlifter and even then I won't be going heavy.
