on hour 22 of a 24 hour fast...this ain't bad

ok so today i did the first day of "stronglifts", which is 5x5 squats, 5x5 bench, 5x5 barbell rows. in two days i will do 5x5 squats, 5x5 overhead press, 5x5 deadlift, and then in two days after that i'll go back to the first one.
this seems doable for 10-12 weeks. add this to my cardio and running and i think i'll get a more balanced physique. i'm afraid of my quads getting too big bc the program is so squat focused and i wear skinny jeans, but i agree with what i have read that squats are a good "full body" exercise. overall i like how this program is compound rather than isolation exercises. overdeveloping certain muscles seems scary to me.

someone either wears skinny jeans or gets sw0le. there's no in between. the trick is to find out which one you are and be that.

what is going to make you a better person? having huge thighs or wearing skinny jeans? this is a no brainer, treesh
― flatizza (harbl), Sunday, 5 October 2014 01:27 (nine years ago) link
which reminds me -- i need new pants.
― clouds, Sunday, 5 October 2014 01:39 (nine years ago) link
i have huge powerful thighs so i dont squat because i dont think stylish pants will fit me anymore

It's also incredible how sharp your mind gets in the last 4 hours of a 24 hour fast. Good creative flow and clarity.
funny thing to post right after yom kippur! i myself was marveling earlier today at how sludgy and destroyed my mind and body feel in the last 4 hours of a 24 hour fast.

sw0le ilxors! I need your advice. person i know who is p gym intensive has started subcutaneous peptide use and, well, frankly I don't like it v much at all. however, I never go near a gym, and know nothing about the subject. what i've seen on the web I've just found confusing - pages on medical uses, athletic cheating, and a cacophony of bodybuilding 'how to' stuff. he says it's legal and the combination he uses safe, as it only takes effect when human growth hormone is produced. I know f' all about this, or intensive gym culture, and don't want to start an ill-informed conversation, as I think it's likely to turn into an argument, but equally i don't necessarily trust his judgment in this particular area and want to be able to test it out. he's not a professional athlete. there are body image issues. what's the general feeling here? it's fine? it's not at all good? it depends on what and when and how? certainly no worse than all that alcohol you put inside you son and i don't see you getting all hand-wringy about that?
and is there a good online place to go?
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:37 (nine years ago) link
i have no idea what subcutaneous peptide is but i don't like the sound of it at all
for all the bullshit with "paleo" etc there's something to the idea of just eating food and doing work and getting strong. love yourself ppl!
― goole, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:42 (nine years ago) link
yes, completely agree goole - i don't think there's much 'paleo' about that tbh, it seems like a decent and healthy way to go about it, just don't feel that argument's going to wash unfortunately.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:46 (nine years ago) link
i could look it all up myself, but is your friend injecting shit?
― goole, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link
subcutaneously, yes. which is just... it's just a terrible terrible look at the very least, but within a subset of the intensive gym/body look world, you can find an awful lot of stuff that legitimises it and i think that's part of the problem here. unfortunately from 'inside' that world, the opinion of people outside that world lacks validity, and so it's difficult to have a meaningful discussion.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:40 (nine years ago) link
Your online choices are either going to be rah-rah steroid forums or everyone else who thinks it's an incredibly bad idea to inject gray-market shit into your body. Pretty much going with the masses there.

IMO, if it were even moderately safe and effective, you'd have a million clinics popping up to do it like there are for low testosterone.

the only thing i inject is food into my mouth!

Paleo sounds more legit than subcutaneous peptide (?) as the former is just eating vegetables and meat. I have been doing stronglifts with the "starter" weight and while it is a bit easy i am working on my form and am excited to see how strong i get. I generally eat a caloric deficit if i am not drinking very often (low appetite side effect of medication) so it will be interesting to see how my physique reacts to this program.

Trying to eat more protein and whole vegetables though and make baked goods and bread a smaller component of my diet

pull ups are weirdly satisfying. wish i had a bar in my apt where i could do a few here and there. lifetime goal of mine to be able to do 4x10 of them.
― ryan, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 20:42 (nine years ago) link
I'm still working on the assisted pullup machine- 2 sets of 10 with an 80 pound assist, which I know is pretty fucking sad. But! Doing that (also posterior chain stuff like deadlifts) has helped immensely with bouldering, and after the huge initial difficulty curve I'm starting to slowly make my way up the grades (my current best is a V2-).

could always start with chinups (palms in) which are "easier" but i've never looked into why heh
― goole, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 23:01 (nine years ago) link
greater emphasis on arm muscles rather than the lats which are usually weaker? idk
i could google pullup vs chinup (and did! once) but i don't feel like wading thru the broscience right now
fwiw i think rippetoe says there's no functional difference over time

Neutral grip pull-ups are easiest for me and they're the least likely to cause elbow or shoulder pain IIRC
