Well since my "mini-bulks" don't seem to do anything for my size, the way I see it is that if someone like Brolic tries to fuck me up, I might have a slight chance of survival if I just run like hell for a really long time.

My aggregate 1RM on the 4 major lifts is over the magical 1000 lbs figure.
In kilograms it is over some arbitrary number.
In kilograms it is over some arbitrary number.
So the 500lbs Squat was in a Squat suit? Imma little confused
It was with a belt. Once I got to 405 today I slapped it on for the sake of wanting to try 500 today.
Here's a video. It's on Facebook though so let me know if there's any issues playing it
Raw probably isn't the right word. I'm just still riding on cloud 9 after finally getting to 500. It's been a long time coming after tearing up my knee a year ago.
Lol you and psycho are on a whole other level though.
Ok right on, No issues on my end.Good job! Its just that Raw means the lack of Squat/Dead Suit, and Bench Shirt so I get confused sometimes when people use it differently.

Most federation or maybe not mosr consider raw to not use suits or wraps. Sleeves and belt and wrist strap is fine. I wouldn't call it raw squat. Just beltless squat

You don't always get sore. Your body might be used to it, do you feel anything like a pump with the muscles being worked?

Didn't work out last week. Back to it this week doing 5x5 strong lifts. Added 10-15 minutes of hiit cardio(1 minute rest, 30 seconds as hard as I can go).
My legs are dead lol

I feel it a little bit, I can't really think of anything I do that would be similar to that exercise. Possibly lifted too light I only put 25's on the bar since I wanted to concentrate on getting the form right for my first time.

He's got a bit more muscle than me. I'm pretty damn wiry. lol
Related... half a kg until this cut is over. Don't think I'll be doing a proper bulk this year as I'm going to have to keep my weight low for cycling events. Hoping for an ultra slow bulk / recomp.
I started doing hiit again a few weeks ago, doing the same 30/60 split as you atm, then going to move on to 30/45 split next next week.
Not a fan of cardio but at least with hiit thank god it's over in 15-20mins.
Until Brolic starts throwing heavy objects at you.

I'm going to try intermittent fasting (16/8 i.e. skipping breakfast).
I usually take an allergy pill (allegra) and an adderall first thing in the morning. How do pills affecting the fasting period?

was gonna stick to a cal deficit today, but i got invited to tag along to this amazing grilled cheese and craft beer restaurant....so.... im gonna eat the grilled cheese
Well they don't break your fast if that's what you're asking. But if your meds should be taken with food then it might be a problem.

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty hyped for the Switch for it what it means for my cardio sessions. The #1 thing I found that helps get me through cardio is gaming, but it's near impossible to play anything outside of like... Hearthstone and other card games.
I think stationary bike cardio + Switch is gonna be a dream cause I can have my hands at my side and play comfortably. 1 hour cycling sessions, let's go!

Good job.

Do any of y'all take L-citrulline? Considering taking it for prework out. I was wondering if it has any bad side effects (too much energy or can't sleep at night) that kinda thing. I was looking at the 1200mg in pill form or is that too much?
Candito has been my go to program for a while. The only thing I don't like is the bench work. Stalled so just substituted it out for a different bench program.

My projected 1rm is now 375 on squats. 5lbs lower than last time I tried but that was probably a fluke when I was fatter lol. I think I had another one but some guy wanted to spot me so I freaked out and stopped after 3 reps at 355
I found one today with out a preorder. Zelda is freaking amazing.

Can the principles of 531 be applied to isolated lifting (e.g. Bicep curls)?
As long as its barbell.

Heya peeps what is the recommendation moving from Bulking to Cutting Reps Vs Weight count?
Ive done plenty of research and I know that its best to do higher reps, lower weights and restrict calories to burn the fat, reduce the muscle loss and really cut.
Since coming in and asking for food advice I've actually gone up nearly 22 lbs, however I have put on a ton of muscle and I have veins popping all over my body and several excercises have gone way up in what I can produce.
However moving into a new term at school and everything I want to reduce the chance at stress eating and by staying going back towards what I use to do seems like a good idea, I just don't know how much I should reduce my weights that I lift to keep myself in the range of acceptable but not to lite.
Sorry if this is confusing. I've seen a billion Cutting Routines TM but not very many talk about how much you should reduce from Bulking/Strengthening to ensure you don't go to lite.
Edit : Not sure it if would matter, went to the a Nutrition store and had them do my statistics on their machine and my read out is 23.7 LBS of Fat and 13% overall body fat.
I would like to cut it down to the 8-9% range if possible.

8% is even low for most men/boys and women need to carry a slightly higher percentage than their male counterparts
Hmm good point.
I'm just trying to prep for some skin removal from when I was super heavy weight so I want to go in in tip top condition as I will be out of gym for a good during recovery.
It's been weeks, but got 2 teeth pulled, was forced to take medication for the first time in years due to pain and antibiotics.
I finally started lifting again. I restarted this 3/5/1 session and got 4 reps on the joker set, so I'm back to where I was but it felt hard. My body is just not as strong as before all this medication. I'm going to eat plenty and hit it hard.
All this switch talk is interesting. I sent mine back to Amazon, absolutely hated the system. I barely have time to play anything anyway, so I'll stick with my older systems.
That sucks man. Hope you recover quick.

Ugh, new injury is going to knock me out for a while.
Cervical Radiculopathy. Pinch nerve near the base of my neck.
The worst symptom is the numbness in my right arm.
That sucks man. Hope you recover quick.

Holy crap. Sounds like you're extremely lucky that a bruise is all you ended up with. Glad you are relatively OK, other than being totally psychotic.
