Squatted my equal PB of 137.5kg today. In sets of 5, 4, 4, 3.
The last rep of the second set was ugly so I didn't go for 5. So were last rep of the following two. My form felt good but slow through the middle of the lift. It feels good to be pushing it.

Now, I haven't decided whether to go for 3 sets of 5 before adding weight or to go for a set of 140kg. I think it's more psychological from here.

I'm sure someone mentioned this blog before but Chaos & pain is probably the most bad ass and redpill fitness blog.

If this article doesn't make you wanna go out and collect some skulls, then I don't know what will.

Did some max outs today. Just broke into 400 pound club with a 405 squat also a PR bench at 290.

Hadn't heard of that one, cheers!

I think I've found the answer. Go for 140, as many as possible. More is more.

Gonna stop taking creatine. I like the effects but my hair is just pissing out of my head right now and my hairline is getting thinner.
I might take it again when I'm older or already have significant loss of hair.
I'm 21 right now and girls my age and younger are really anal about a guy's hair. I look pretty young so I can't pull of the receded hairline.
Sucks but what can you do

Dude I don't think it's the creatine.

Hell, there is creatine in red meat.

You're probably just going bald.

I have tried creatine multiple times. Every time I use it I notice a surge of hair loss and scalp itching on my temples where the hair is thinning out. It has happened 3 times now.

When I don't take creatine I lose practically no hair and don't experience shedding or itching.
For me it is no coincidence

CnP went from giving some pretty solid training information (that had to be taken with an appropriate dose of salt) to basically batshit insane. Fun fact, he apparently has been in a gay porno.

I feel badly for him, honestly. He's a very fucked up guy.

Yeah, he's got some fantastic stuff on training, but watch out for his "spot the tranny" porn.

That's awkward.

Welp, that's one thing I didn't need to know about him.

Otherwise, I enjoy the blog. Not sure there's anything to feel sorry for. He seems to be doing as he pleases between the blog, supplement company and powerlifting career. I've certainly seen weirder shit. Kai Greene, anyone?

I broke one of my gym's squat stands today because I dumped a bad squat on the safety pins. The whole rack bent about 10 degrees forwards and stayed that way. It was 345, so pretty heavy but not outrageous. I'm willing to replace it myself if it turns out dumping on these stands is a big no-no. But I can't find anyone experiencing this online and I've dumped squats plenty myself. The stands aren't bolted into the ground, which might be why this happened.

Here's the stand - https://www.roguefitness.com/sml-1-rogue...quat-stand

Well i got it, squatted 5x 140kg yesterday. Then a set of 4, a set of 3 and a set of 2.
I reached the goal I set around 3 months ago. So it's time to set some goals for other lifts since I've been focussing on squats.

Having reached it, I don't know what's next? (When you reach the summit, is it time to reflect?)
I believe I should build up to 3 sets of 5 with perfect form and mix in some higher volume work, say 3 sets of 8 at a lower weight around 120 - 125kg.

Sounds like faulty equipment. Those things should be able to handle well over 345.

Don't give them a penny. A commercial gym should be using commercial duty equipment, not ricketty little light-duty squat racks like this one.

The safety pins did their job this time, but if you're paying money for a membership, they need to provide equipment you can have confidence in.

Yeah, I agree. However Rogue is a pretty highly-regarded company in the strength training world which is why I was shocked the thing broke so easily. I wasn't sure if "dump to safety bars if power rack, dump to floor if squat stand" was some rule I never heard of.

It's a protein powder it's just to help you get more protein in during the day.

Just taking it won't do anything unless the rest of your diet is right and you're training the right way.

It's just a milk by product. Nothing special.

A lot of people are expecting drug type results from a protein lemme tell ya, it just doesn't work like that. The only thing that creates quick, noticeable results is work + food + drugs.

Hit a new deadlift PR @360, not even going to bother stressing over my goal of 365 I'm shooting for 4 fucking plates now.

I joined this planet fitness by my house...I gotta say it's pretty nice. Well first of all its babes everywhere because it's on the college side of town.

But it's really clean and huge. Open 24 hours. I don't rrally give a shit to judge anyone in there so no issues.

Downside is the obvious...no free weight barbells. No big deal to me since I mostly use dumbbells anyway.

One problem though, I like using really heavy dumbbells for a pseudo dead lift for my traps, like 130 lbs if possible. These 75 lb just aren't cutting it and I can already tell I've lost a little in my shoulders.

Overall pf is pretty solid, like I said, at least in my college town.

That's my Saturday morning post (I typed it this morning).

On the site there it says that frames have a lifetime warranty.

Yeah but that isn't commercial grade shit.

I guarantee you this would not happen on a commercial grade hammer strength rack.

So i have been eating more calories since a week or two to grow more muscle.

1- i noticed a muscle grow but fat grow too .. How can i know if it is water weight or fat ? i have been eating those foods : chiken - egs - frozen vegtables and fries potatoes , greek yagort , dark chocolate 70% ,oatmeal , bread , mixed nuts , penaut butter ,somtime a cheat meal
2- i think i will start sauna after workout to help to loose fat (if it is water weight) , is it a good idea ? i never did it before
3- i have been eating more of frozen food (mainly fries potatoes and vegetables) , so question , is it that bad to eat frozen food ? also is it better to go with fries sweet potatoes or normal fries ( i coock them in the oven)
