Go big or go home. So much for that lean bulk lol

 

I think I'm going to find a sale and give them a try. What's the worst that will happen?

 

with pizza I can't stop eating...I eat like 8 slices and still want more ...2h later I'm sleeping on the couch

 

I made a Red Baron brick oven pizza last night, thinking I'd only eat half, at most. I ate the whole damn thing. Because Fatass.

 

sometimes I order 2 pizzas from Papa Johns or Dominos because they have a special and I'm like "sweet that's 4 meals"...but then it only lasts for 2

 

That's why:
1. I don't buy pizza
2. I can't share food with my gf.


Put food in front of me and the little voice I'm the back of my head says "challenge accepted"

 

I stopped buying them a long time ago. Then after I stopped my cut a few weeks ago, I saw it and thought, that looks delicious, I can buy one. Forgot it until last night.

It was delicious

 

Yeah it was a decent pump. I think I'm going to be pretty sore in the morning.

I go to my clubhouse gym in Wakefield.

 

I did when I was in wrestling back in high school. I would just get some chucks and call it a day.

 

Yeah. I think I'm one of them. Lol


I'm going to focus on working on my squats
At the rack at least 3x This week. It may be embarrassing but whatever. Lol



Educate me with this: I see people at the squat rack using some sort of chair to stop them from going past 90 degrees. are they focusing on power or wha?

 

A lot of people lose power at 90*. That forces them to stop the movement and drive the bar up from a 90* relaxed state.

It also forces them to control the bar on the way down.

Pretty much training your form. You can also as just the safety racks and use that, but a chair works better.

 

For squats? That's called a 'box squat'

I also like to call them butterfly box squats. And tell people it's as if your trying to sit on a butterfly without crushing it.

Call it stupid but puts a good picture/idea in people's head

 

Yep - good point. I see people put the weight on their back and then just plop down like they are taking a load off and kicking back on their couch and then trying to just stand up with the weight on. The point of this is to just lightly touch the box/chair/bench/whatever you are using with your butt and then explode up

 

before doing a bad squat use the machine...try it slow. extend 7s hold 1s retract 7s - 12 reps 3 sets -go deep (you'll feel it burn).

 

go big? looks like a childs personal pizza to me, step it up

 

I actually thought that too

 

Super small business but LEMS makes shoes that are completely "barefoot" feeling and I haven't found anything else I can lift in since. I've tried NB Minimus, Nike Free, etc and they're all significantly uncomfortable in comparison to my LEMS Primal 2 shoes (to me).
