I don't really do many jerks. I was just goofing off to see if I could. |

There's this "master trainer" at my gym that has the biggest hard on for making people balance on shit. Bosu ball deadlifts, squatting on TWO bosu balls, push-ups on bumper plates and tennis balls; all of these I saw him make people do today. I wonder if he's ever seriously injured someone. It's only a matter of time. You should ask him? |

Just trying to get up to weight quickly then work on converting fat to muscle? I've dropped down to 245 just by eating clean. Still 4-5k cals per day. But I fear that I've lost some strength I struggled with 315x2 front squats this morning. A month or so back I hit 355x2. Maybe it's sleep, but I think my body's trying to tell me to choose between eating clean and being strong. So I had snack mix and a party pizza for lunch. That should help. |

Just trying to get up to weight quickly then work on converting fat to muscle? Just eating more...with the T the weight came quickly and easily- I'm still fairly lean. Not as lean as I was a year ago, but still pretty lean. I definitely need to lose some fat but I'm not real concerned about it. I figure it will naturally come off (and the water weight) as I ramp up the training. |

I've only been lifting for just under two years now, but I was pretty farm strong.... 
Recovery is a big concern for me, it's been two days since I did that 100 squats in 15 minutes and I'm still a complete wreck. Walking upstairs sucks, walking downstairs and I look like a 95 year old concrete worker. Good sleep has been helping, eating a lot more protein has helped too. Basically quitting my job was really good for me. I'm a lot better now at getting 200+ grams of protein, lifts have been immediately improving from it and I'm lifting about 4 days per week, but that's more based on schedule than recovery. |

Meds for the sciatic pain and to lower the inflammation in the disc my back. The inflammation causes pain, that causes more inflammation. Lots of mobility when I can. I'll take a month off from lifting. This has happened before. The last time was when I think I did the damage to the disc. It was more of a catastrophic failure while under weight. Well documented in the links below. I had these saved in a file. This time it's ongoing pain that's keeping me from sleeping, walking normally, and standing up strait. I was trying to work around and through the problems. But lifting is supposed to help enhance life and not make it miserable. When I finally relized that, I decided to go get looked at. Now that I'm all hopped up on norco, time to go operate some heavy equipment. Digging footings and loading out dirt... Should be ok. Worst that could happen, is I'll crash into my house. https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_113/1236826_The_unofficial_Wendler_inspired__5_3_1__lift_heavy____t__and_move_NOV_thread_.html&page=758#i56105443 https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_113/1236826_The_unofficial_Wendler_inspired__5_3_1__lift_heavy____t__and_move_NOV_thread_.html&page=759#i56109307 https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_113/1236826_The_unofficial_Wendler_inspired__5_3_1__lift_heavy____t__and_move_NOV_thread_.html&page=760#i56115816 |

Right now I'm doing the 5x5 (slightly modified) so I'm squatting 3x a week and alternating between rows/bench and ohp/dl.

Reminds me. What happened with crazy Asian girl? Nothing, it was a last minute date so she had a birthday party to get to. She was ok. Had an annoying laugh and was "off-season" so was thicker than her pics. Probably would have still hit it
She's been texting me a lot since then but I'm kinda indifferent now. |
