Its been a week yall. Nearly lost my home to a forest fire. Had just a few minutes to pack up what I could and get out. Thankfully the fireman did an amazing job holding the line, but I struggled to eat or sleep well for a few days. First day back in the gym, I lost 8 pounds lol. I know it will be back in a few days, but still. Trauma can nuke you in just a few days

There are some things you just dont claim

You all can kiss the ass of the ace of games

i don't suffer from this one. rock is not that good a defensive type. it's the combination of being the first gym before you have a lot of good water moves, the combo with ground for electric resistance, and high defense.

best is gen 1 bug/poison being super-effective against one another, or ghosts/dragons being super vs themselves

surely "grass is a good offensive type" is incredibly biased by the first 2 gyms of RBY?

thematically it totally makes sense that ice is fragile!

it hits water and ground which are two incredibly common types in competitive

but is also resisted by dragon and steel

WarioWare: Shove It Up Your Own Ass Game

I was hoping the two days off would help my forearm fully heal, and yesterday through this morning it didnt hurt in the slightest. But the second I did a reverse curl, bam, shot right back up. Anything doing that kind of curl style, like hammer curls, triggers it instantly. Whatever the b muscle is called lol. Other than that I had a good loft

We would absolutely love to help. Its always good to get different perspectives

In some ways, it is

We have a winner! Congratulations to neonreaper for winning this round of Board 8 History Trivia!

The shirt definitely supported his aura of Phenomenal Swag

A lot of votes for Contest Winning and None so far! Is one of those the correct answer?

Yeah, dont worry too much about soreness. if you are doing effective exercises, with proper technique, and are consistently progressing on either weight or reps, then you are getting the job done.

Ill be working out of town the next two days, and I far more value the two days of rest than just going to some shitty hotel gym so Im excited to rest guilt free. Im getting close to peak incline sessions so will need all the rest I can get over the coming weeks

Yeah I destroy my legs twice a week with squatting and deadlifting on the same day, and other squat variations in the workout. And I cant remember the last time I had doms. consistent protein and creatine is the solution for me there

I will always respect people who have abs. I dont know if respect is the right word. I acknowledge the discipline it requires to not eat a completely trash diet constantly. If I eat at a deficit for more than a day I honestly want to kill myself.

Felt fairly weak today lol

You OHPing your bodyweight is always going to be impressive, and the overwhelming majority of people in an average gym are not going to come close to that

Nice to see someone making progress!

On squat day I skipped back squats after I felt my usual right hip/glute discomfort even at very low weight. Instead I substituted a bunch more low weight Zercher sets. Max was 10 reps at 125. I'm kind of enjoying the very different feel of the Zerchers at the moment. Also did some leg press, which I'm not really a fan of, but it's better than nothing.

OHP went really well on its day though. My shoulders were feeling the best they've felt in weeks with no soreness. Was able to do 2 singles at 142.5. First single felt really good and strong, just not enough in the tank for another rep. Took a brief rest and then was able to get another.

love the zerchers, glad you are doing them. And the transfer to day to day life strength is unreal. I should probably start doing them again, I stopped because I thought I had a hernia but that ended up being something else.

and hell yeah on the Ohp! Always got mad respect for the one plate club

Also, since this is a new topic, for anyone who is brand new to this stuff, or is curious about where to begin, I know that myself and many others in this topic would be overjoyed to help you out. This is a judgment free zone and we all started somewhere before we turned into jacked gods. Please post if you have questions or want any advice!

New topic, new check in

this has been a solid stretch of lifting. I have avoided injuries and major setbacks so have been able to stay consistent. Im the strongest I have been in probably 7-8 years, and have a lot to be proud of. Physique wise, Im incredibly happy where Im at, and dont feel like anything is lacking or that I absolutely have to improve on something, which is a nice feeling when you can tell the body dysmorphia to suck it

goals for the foreseeable future are 500 deadlift, and to rep 2 plates on the incline. Some minor goals include the I be able to do reps with decent form of 45lb lateral raises, and to do a 3 plate weighted dip

I feel like seel got use in my Pokmon TCG deck when I was like 8 years old and the cards first came out but that was it

I aint got no quarrel with flamigo

fun to see zacian either getting a plus or minus 3 from almost everyone. Nothing against it personally, I wish it nothing but the best in life, but its the symbol for the absurd power creep of recent gens so its gotta fall

This is quite hard
