Use bicep curls as a replacement for chinups.

I went to Egonutritions at The Curve yesterday to buy a dip belt. I looked at the size of the chains and asked the guy there if it will fit into a 1 inch weight plate. He says yes. I brought it home ... and no, it doesn't fit into a 1 inch weight plate hole.

Yes. Kamaru now has the choice of firing, beating, then hanging the guy or I shall have to ask some friends to do so.

Do the one-armed suitcase deadlift. You have to grip the barbell really hard to balance it.

One month doing exclusively high volume deadlifts and incline benches while consuming 3g of protein per kg of bodyweight really makes a difference! I spent 4 months on Rippetoe and about 2g/kg, and my chest did not bulk up like they did on this new routine.

You guys should try it. Tsatsouline's DeLorme-inspired 6-week hypertrophy cycle. And 3g/kg.

While we're on the topic of layoffs and DOMS: I'm going through my 3rd week of not working out. I'm eating normally again (carb-heavy), sleeping normally (i.e. not enough), drinking, and going for long periods without food. It feels great to be normal. I'll start working out and eating right again beginning this Sunday.

My gawd. If you don't have small/micro plates, go buy a pair and bring them with you to the gym!

How much do you squat now?

Guys. I'm supposed to start working out today after a 3 week layoff. Thing is, I'm too lazy to. The thought of going all limp through volume deadlifts is scaring me.

Please try to compel me to.

It's chest and DL. It's a fixed program.

i need you guys to inspire me to workout instead of washing my car

If you're to look at my cholesterol intake for the past 8 months, I ought to have decomposed in some sorry cemetery 6 months ago.

My one liners are epic. What doesn't fly here is your beholdenness to the USRDA. None of the regulars here eat anything remotely resembling the USRDA.

My mother and almost everyone I know have no idea how to cook steak. They are so clueless it's positively not funny.

You really are clueless aren't you? Maybe you want to read the archives. We have more important things to discuss, like how to do bicep curls properly in the power rack.

you're most welcome

I am.

You are one sensitive noob. This sort of reasoning sounds like those of my ex-gf.

Shah, in the time you've required to go from noob to asking about proper increments, I had completed Rippetoe's novice program, gained 7 kg and in the midst of Tsatsouline's stuff. You really need to get your act together.

I thought he was feigning stupidity. Now I know he is.

But he is quite likable.

When you are in the gym, you do these things: SQUAT, DEADLIFT, BENCH PRESS. Ask someone in the gym to teach you how.

Ada faham?
