Thanks man.

::feels the exact same way::

Yeah, lol.
The only programs that has helped my bench besides noob gains has been peaking programs such as MM2K, add50 and Smolov!
Im going to ask my dad for some reccomendations and / or do sheiko in 2013. Hoping that will be a great bench press year for me.

I don't really know what it takes to get any lifts up!

I just read the no-fap thread in the Mayberry. Fuck it, let's see how long I can go.

Feels good to be a noob. On a serious note, why is it so hard to make gains after the novice stage? I think following a good structured program could increase the numbers of a lifter. Am I wrong?

You should consider the Cratos press program. You press 2x a week with a good mix of volume and intensity based on prilipellins table. Ive been doing it for 4 months now with steady progress.

Feelin sad that I failed so much at squatting today.
Eat good and slept good, but when your body says "fuck it" it wont happen.

Most likely, Ill try again on thursday.
Going to get a video, no matter what happens.

 

[miaou]

Shit happens, man.

What is your current PR and when did you hit it?

 

[CRZA]

Well, 210 today was a +5 PR. But the depth wasnt good.
I did a 205 squat in august, and a 195 at the end of last year-

I guess shit happens, but the fact is, that im not just not strong enough.
The barbell never lies, as Rollins said.

Im glad I managed to get back after a fail. Very rare that i manage that. My depth is as most of times lacking, so its a little bittersweet tasting PR. 220 went crashing again. But it felt alot better this time, and I got some momentum on it, but was way to tired.

 

[kotriz]

its a pr, no?

congrats!!!

 

[CRZA]

its a pr, no?

Yes, it is. I think my depth is lacking, though. So im unsure If it counts for the squat competition. But yes it would be a +10kilo PR
EDIT: oh, and thanks for the pics! Dat ass, and a winter-themed one. Very good

Also, in case someone mentions the no-fap contest

 

[dinpappa]

Congrats on solid PR`s just before the end of the world! Good ending to the world or atleast to 2012

Fckn lulz!

Come on man, that wasn't even a week! :icon_lol:

A couple of days ago I signed up for a no-fap until the end of 2012 (so I only have 11 days to go for that one), and a no-porn January (which means fapping is allowed but you can't watch porn).

 

[CRZA]

yay, No world ending!

Thanks mate. Yes, glad I got it!
