Bro i seriously mire how in tune with your body you are (nohomo)

I'm more like

Did i snap? Y/N

If N continue.

That'a exactly how I'd be if I didn't make the effort not to. Being motivated by years of snapped up Iliterallydon'tevenlift helps!

I don't find BS 5x5 particular great for bench or deadlifts but I usually get ridiculous gains on my squats which I love more than any other exercise. If I didn't enjoy a bit of variation I'd happily spend my life on Smolov though

It did indeed. Completely wrote off 531 as a concept when my leg fell off but I'm more open to it again now I've had time to reflect. I think I just misjudged how much the 5x10 rep scheme of the BBB variation would take out of me and tried pushing myself further than my body would allow. No reason why other variations would have the same effect and wouldn't provide gains though.

Have you tried smolov jr for bench? You've not benched frequently until you've done that! :eek:

Yep, I don't know anyone that's had anything but negative experiences from BBB. I have no idea why he recommends it at all.

You're referring to the years of snapped up bit right?

Yup. It feels like cardio owing to your heart wanting to escape through your sternum by the 3rd set.

Freefaller · 28 Feb 2013 at 14:49

Awesome sesh! Man... one day I'm going to HAVE to come and traing with you guys... wait? Didn't we already agree this?

When I come back from Malaysia - I shall be weak as ****, but so what! I'tll be fun!

Cheers chaps.

Entire back and triceps are smoked today. Squats tomorrow? D:

FF, it's a date!

Steeds, don't think I've forgotten

KD, keeping rests to around 90 seconds definitely makes it cardio!

Mr. Thingy, they're awesome, but horrible

Skillmister · 28 Feb 2013 at 16:06

Tricep isolation, you naughty naughty boy

mrthingyx · 28 Feb 2013 at 16:11

It's to strengthen his tendons, nomsayin?

icecold · 28 Feb 2013 at 16:18

What's the point in being 90kg if I don't get to make some arm quads?

tbf, I've always done bits of tricep isolation, it's just that now I'm following more of a structure. It will feel much more worthwhile when I can add in some heavy bench too - the neutral grip bar is good (nicer to shoulders too), but because of the handle placement you can't go as heavy.

mrthingyx · 28 Feb 2013 at 16:30

Who asked you for the practical justification? :cool:

STFU and gainz, dude.
