Don't care if Osama Bin Laden or Hitler came back from the dead and posted in the thread asking if it's normal to pass out from a deadlift or not. Their ideas and personalities may be flawed, they may not really be likable, but their questions are still valid. Others might want to know the same things. Plus we didn't really need to know about his personal beliefs - or that you stalk him or however you see it, on OKC. Not in this thread at least.

[QUOTE=schnibbles;47035468]Unless you were measuring your body fat percentage with fucking calipers or lab tests the entire time, I would be highly skeptical of how much of that gained weight was actually muscle.[/QUOTE] I took some time to really look into when I started September 2012 I enrolled in a personal fitness class and got the basic idea for lifting, november 1st ish my football season ended and I started to lift a lot more for my grade 12 season as I didnt have 3-6 practice to gas me out every day. We never had a scale for our workout room but when I weighed in for 2012 it was 165 and couldnt bench the bar, by the time I hit my grade 12 season (starts when school starts so late september 2013) I was 210 and tested 315x1. Our rec center nearby had a scale in the weight area which they opened a little after christmas 2012 and that was when i clocked 195. I never got very fat, it wasnt until christmas 2013 where I did my first bulk (a clean one at that where I didnt eat nearly enough) and hit 216 in january and got a very thin layer over my belly and some face chub. My 2013 football season (september to november) was pretty much just maintaining 210 the whole time with a little bit of cutting because of the cardio. After christmas I hovered around 216 and then stopped the bulk in early february because I thought I would need a lot of time to cut (show was right at the same time my finals were so it was either pass school or compete) so from february to july I think is when summer begins, I stayed at 210 but got very cut. Then for the summer I stayed cut, biked a lot rather than lift, got paranoid about my cutting diet, depressed because for some reason I couldnt hit the gym and hit 195 at my lowest and wanted to just curl in a ball and cry. August I got back to 212, slowly built to 218 before christmas here then I got sick on christmas and hit 205 (granted thats mega dehydrated and depleted), came back and hit 220 in no time, revised my diet and routine, here comes january I hit 230 bulked but not disgustingly fat I can still see my serratus, abs, shoulder and chest striations. Aiming for 235 at the end of february, 240 after that and then staying at 240 till either june or september and just using the months in between to convert what little fat I'd have accumulated to muscle but I cant imagine its possible to hit a cut 240 till next year so I expect a cut 230 this year.

I started a 5x5(stronglifts) in december, with a 95lb max squat and 60lb max OHP Made it to repping 135 squat, 100 OHP. Next goal is 135 bench, bodyweight(150) squat. And stupid broscience question: how bad is swimming as a cooldown if I'm trying to build strength?

14 inch biceps after 2 and a half weeks on dianabol 30mg a day. 1 metre chest so I'm chuffed with myself would post pics but don't wanna look like a fanny lol

oh dear gosh, i'm now imagining what somebody would look like with 14 inch wide biceps.

kali muscle what the fuk also i've been doing stronglifts 5x5 for so long that i can't imagine doing anything else. whenever people recommend me workouts i say "sorry, i'm getting strong! i don't have time for your silly splits!" but now i'm wondering if there is indeed a better way

[QUOTE=>VLN<;47038387]oh dear gosh, i'm now imagining what somebody would look like with 14 inch wide biceps.[/QUOTE] Sorry let me rephrase, that is 14 inch diameter around the arm with bicep tensed. A few months ago I was 11.5 inches and thin as fuck but my mom and my mates are saying I look like I'm putting weight on so I'm delighted

My splits are getting all fucked up because of various dates and such I've been having. And I've been taking weird days off, like going for 2 taking one off and going for 4. Fuark. I'm tempted to just try a 5x5 or 5/3/1 but I hate the idea of finding a 1RM for some reason because I think I'll underestimate it. Seems like an awful lot of math just to workout. I like to do a few warmup sets with the first workout of the day, then 3-4 working sets, and then either a drop set or a deload set to failure. I seem to be really feeling it that way. Leg day with deload sets after my working sets blasted my thighs this week. Nothing like PRing on squats and then going right back to a warmup set weight and going til failure, really tears shit up.

Started to really love veggies Currently dieting so they're a nice stomach filler

I accidentally spent 3 hours at the gym and did most muscle groups today. Second time at the gym (I used to go a few years ago but still) Tomorrow is going to hurt.

Taking my dweeb little sister (13) to the gym for the first time, haven't even left the house and shes already doing bathroom flexes saying she has "wings" and telling me to feel her "pipes" What have I created

[QUOTE=Monkey san;47034176]lol dude you know how much 11kg muscle is? next time you are at the grocery store go and pick up 1kg of steak. Now pick up 10 more of them and try to imagine them on your body, most of it is some parts fat and some parts muscle. [editline]29th January 2015[/editline] [img]http://www.jamyachtsupply.com/images/big/Beef_Cut_Chart.jpg[/img] this my friend is 1kg, you go ahead and try to imagine how 11 of those evenly spread out on you would look.[/QUOTE] Isn't muscle more dense than fat though? So wouldn't it make it more feasible that he grew 11kg of muscle since 11kg of fat would make him look a lot bigger?

Everything hurts Also for the record so I can look back at this some day, I am 4'11 and about 115 lbs of pure noodlyness, I haven't weighed myself in a while though and don't have the money to pick up a scale

For 5/3/1, when it says 5+, 3+ or 1+, does it just mean do that amount of reps and then continue to failure?

Yep, always try push for at least 1 more even if your pausing for a bit before those final reps

went to the gym today for SL 5x5, i like substituting power cleans and front squats for heavy squats when my legs are super sore thinking about doing 5-3-1 but what do i do after the first 4 weeks

It really sucks when you try to look up healthy meal recipes and, according to the internet, healthy = low calorie. That is really god damn frustrating. How is it that most of the population has no fitness goal beyond not dying of diabetes?

[QUOTE=cathal6606;47041604]Its real easy m8 [url]http://www.strstd.com/[/url][/QUOTE] I think I should just do a day after a rest day and try and figure these all out. I don't get it though, I feel like my shoulders/traps are pretty strong as I can shrug 205 for reps pretty easily but according to my OHP of 6 reps @ 70 lbs I'm a novice. Do you guys keep a log of your workouts? I used to, but it got tedious and started to seem like I was doing sets that looked better on paper rather than actually working myself to the max. I have been trying to find this site for a while though, thanks man.
