[Double]

yeh it feels a bit strange when the other person isn't a bodybuilder and thinks you are one hell of a narcist or whatever. but im always saying you gotta be a man about things the idea with the girl sounds the best!

haha good job

do you measure with the arm hanging or in biceps pose(but unflexed) i have 33cm or 34cm , talking about being pathetic! i proabably have one of the strongest arms for that pathetic size, even BEFORE cutting.16cm wrists what should i say

[Double]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

[silverwex]

Lifeforce, why are you doing so many sets of each exercise?

Flame me if im being stupid but i keep my sets and reps low.

 

[Lifeforce]

I'm training for strength not hyperthrophy, so it works a little differenbt. I did many sets because I didn't know how to do the correct form on the exercises, so I trained it up.

 

[Double]

i read over at bb.com that you're taking a week off. just a rumour or are you for real bro?too bad, i didnt workout today and now i cant even read a new workout entry of you. cant you just post a fake journal entry or something

 

[Lifeforce]

I can pull alot more in this exercise if I had a better technique.. now I almost do a push press to get the weight up.

Rack pulls 2x150 kg 330 lbs
Rack pulls 5x130 kg 287 lbs
At the knees, was exhaused after all OL.

Increased OL total by 22 lbs today, second time lifting.

 

[Double]

what is a callupe`?? whats up with your hand have i missed something??

good job on the bench. i would love to participate in the bench press upping but i cant.


to the olympic lifts i cant say much.....i dont even know how they look, and i dont know how difficult they are.

 

[Lifeforce]

Callupe it's a different name for finger. I lost my index finger so I had to glue it back.

nah kidding, callupses are the hardend part at the base of the finger, you know the ones that ache after heavy deadlifts.

Well if I pulled 150 kg at the national competition in sweden I would place 10th. 11th place a person pulled 147.5, the winner pulled 247.5 kg, which I'm about to smash to bits when I get stronger. I've only done olympic lifting twice, so 150 kg isn't shameful. I have problem with the technique, not the strenght. =)

Thanks man on the bench part, I understand, you're cutting now. :/ What can we do without the loudmouthed double who scream... "lift ****ing heavier! Up the ****ing weights!" "Eat more! Eat til you puke!".

Not to be an ass, but it's called callous, not callupe.

cal·lous Audio pronunciation of "callous" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kls)
adj.

1. Having calluses; toughened: callous skin on the elbow.
2. Emotionally hardened; unfeeling: a callous indifference to the suffering of others.


oh, 150kg DL for 10th place? What weight class is that? I'm pulling 180kg after 3 sessions of DL after taking a year off from performing the excercise. Nice journal, bro - keep it up!

 

[Double]

hehe it is good to live in sweden. than i would do olympic lifting, too. 250kg rack pulls, you can maybe achieve even without roids?


didnt mean because im cutting, but because of my shoulders! decline benching is possible but the rack doesnt work for decline....ok i have the beachlifter but he never done deadlifts so with increasing weight it will be very difficult for him to help me.


yeah whats up now. finally i explained to all people that you gotta eat all the time and that cardio is bad for the body. that eating at mc donalds is better than eating vegetables.....and now i'm doing the complete opposite. people are used to see me eating fruitbars on the dancefloor and while playing soccer. nobody understands cutting and bulking cycles, so now they probably think i'm totally insane. maybe i can scream now something like WHAT THE **** YOU CANT EAT AN APPLE IT HAS ****ING FRUITSUGAR GET A CLUE FATAZZ.......but the bulking thing was way cooler :/

Rack pulls aren't hard at all, olympic lifting is clean and jerk + snatch, not rack pulls. =D

oh yeah man, I forgot about the problem with your shoulder, I really hope it gets better.

hahaha... you should go to ricki lake on the topic "My friend eat at mcdonalds and says my vegatble diet is bad"

Double: Yeah, I will get ****ing huge... check it out ladies... *rip of shirt and do most muscluar*
Guys in crowd: booooooo
Girls in crowd: *whistles*
(Double sits down)

Ah ok. Didn't mean it as an insult or so if you percieved it that way.
I'm at 90kg.

 

[Lifeforce]

It's hard to percieve it in any other way. If you wanna bust my chops, the first line would be sufficient.

Cool lift anyway, 180 is pretty strong, double your weight. I'm at 150 kg at 80.5 with shoes and clothes and food. Only been training for 11 months and I had a heart problem which kept me from improving my deads for many months. But now I go for 200 kg, hopefully I'll be there in august. Good luck with your training.
