Plus some. I don't use "bulking" as a reason to eat like shite and be lazy. If you want to get in this game you seem to be the one slacking and not been doing much lately

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say.

All I was pointing out is 1. People like what BoxcarBarney drive people away from the gym being an a-hole. 2. Why do you need a pen and paper when you have a computer that fits in your pocket?

Also, you have SEEN something, not scene it

Dude you and spelling, I use my phone and I use swipe, it autocorrects quite often. I despise how you believe because of this I am uneducated.

How does box car drive people away? He was speaking of when people come to him. The argument is dumb, you just wanted to be an arse. You did it, drop it.

Really? Glad because I don't post every single thing I do or post that I took a night off due to not feeling up to it, I suddenly have been slacking.

The reason I don't post what I do every day or post very much original shite anymore is because I have been busy as shite lately and because of the dumb arse groups that have formed on here. The keto crowd who says everything has to be their way and the crowd like you who just go around finding things to be assholes about.

If I have learned anything from wendler it is rid your life of those items that stress you out.

Judging by his past posts, that is his M.O. He thinks being an argumentative try-too-hard contrarian makes him an interesting person. It doesn't.

Should I get the 10mm or 13mm pioneer cut belt? No plans on actually competing.

You should be fine with a 10mm. Where are you getting it from?

I’m just going to order direct from them. They seem like good dudes and I like supporting Texas companies. Also there’s 10% off for military. Although they are having a blowout sale here 20-21 OCT so I’ll wait to see the pricing on that.

Planning on a pure treated leather no suede.

That is a nice looking belt. I like the way they use staggered holes for better adjustment.

Anyway, I think you'll be ok with the 10mm belt. If you're not a power lifter who needs an ultra stiff belt to work in concert with a squat suit, you should be fine. A 10mm will be easier to put on and take off.

Which de-load week method are you all primarily using? I’m starting week 9 this week but am going to hold off my de-load week for week 12 since I won’t be able to hit the gym that week due to work.

I was planning on just doing a simple week off followed by a 5% decrease on week 13. Seems simple enough.

777, would you layer in the bodyweight FM or Ladders with your Aesthetics program? VC1?

I believe both will work and pick which is easier for you. My personal belief is fm is better for size, ladders better for getting more reps in the challenge.

If fat loss is the goal, yes at vc1

Week 9 in the books. I’m still liking this program for the simplicity and time effectiveness. I’ve tweaked the homework a little to give me the satisfaction of feeling I’m training enough volume. Currently doing 6x30 push-up and 6x5 chins.

Bought The Greyskull LP, 100 conditioning workouts for the modern Viking, and 50 Killer Conditioning Workouts.

So far I really like his LP method from what i am reading. I may have questions when done, but the flexibility of the program is appealing. I have a couple weeks left of a 5-3-1 program and will most likely give this a go.

I will hold any judgement/opinions on the conditioning workouts until I try them. Looks can be deceiving both hard and easy.

I personally haven’t tried any of the conditioning workouts, but they seem to be pretty intense.

I have a love hate relationship with the conditioning. Love them because they work, hate them because they are stupid hard.

I always suggest starting with 13 down which is 13 kb swings with 56lbs and 13 burpees. Decreasing to 12 each then 11 so on and so fourth. Do it for time. Sounds easy but it isn't at all.

If I'm doing greyskull -- what can I sub in if I can't do any lower body workouts due to an injury?

Also, if let's say I am suppose to do 3 sets of 45 lbs, 50 lbs, and 55 lbs -- if I get 8 reps on 45 lbs, do I up it by 5 or 10 next workout?

Explain more please. As in you can't do any lower body stuff?

If not I would pick a challenge from the challenges book and work twoard that every day after the lifts. Like for press day I would chase the Z-press challenge.

First your weight stays the same across all sets.

First two sets you stop after 5 reps. Last set you go to absolute failure. If you get ten+ reps on the last set you can double the progression (2.5->5 for upper body, 5->10 for lower). It's an option and honestly unless you are getting 12+ reps I would not recommend it.
