That lipstick is not flattering at all

This ask is not flattering at all.

You have looks cute in every picture I've ever seen of you, so that opinion wins over the first opinion

@swoleginger my current ebook collection. I’ve got some reading to do haha. finally found vicious in ebook form online so i’m hoarding copies of it.

[itsg0ld3n]

Starting over

So I got my squat up to 360, but I’ve started to get achy hips. I need to reel things back. I need to take it a little bit easier I’m only 150 lb . I feel as though I need more weight on my body to justify moving that sort of weight around. My ego kept telling me I could make linear gains. I was also benching 210, cable rowing 180 military pressing 135 and deadlifting 225. I feel like I should go on a bulk. To avoid muscle wasting. I’ve always heard that your bench correlates with your body weight so if you weigh more you bench more. I don’t want to get sloppy. I will try close grip benching though because close carries over to my normal. I know it’s going to be annoying cutting my weights in half, but I get to fall in love with the process and maybe I will throw in cardio as well. I’m planning on getting a altitude mask because every time I do cardio I breathe like I’m a heavy-set person. There’s always room to improve. I’m going to be the best version of myself. Also I’m going to switch waited pull-ups in in place of rows. They just look so boss.

Exceptional

So my squat, in the strength standards app that I use, after I did 335, listed my squat as exceptional. All of my lifts except for my deadlifts are at proficient and exceptional. Should I just go on a bulk?

My last work out before 2018

I meant to post this the other day but I've been slacking. I ended my bench by doing 200 pounds for three reps without a spotter. And I think I T Bar Rowed 160 for my last set. I ended my squats on 290. And at my height of five six I think, I'm not sure I can add that much more weight to my workouts but I'm aiming for a 50-pound increase on my bench and squat, and a 3 plate deadlift. The gyms are going to be packed because of resolutioners. If I can Inspire someone to actually not give up on their resolution I really won't mind that the gym will be extra crowded for a month. Consistency works for everybody. Getting stronger all the time. And I get to get a pre workout in a week. I haven't had one for a month. Lifts are going to be cake. If your New Year's resolution is to get into the gym it's not where you start it's where you end up. Keep moving forward.

Fitness Products

I'm really excited. I'm going to be getting and arm blaster. Arnold used it back in the 70s. It's supposed to help you get a stricter curl standing up, and it looks pretty cool. Your arms look pumped. I'm excited for the challenge it'll bring to my biceps. I also am getting a dip belt, because nothing is more awesome than doing weighted pull ups. I'm going to feel like a beast. I was really irritated because the bus wasn't running today. But an extra rest day means I'll hit the gym harder tomorrow.

Used my sling shot

It worked well. I couldn't test my Max though because I was worn out from the static hold deadlifts I did to improve my grip strength. I will have to try again on my actual bench day Friday. Gonna sleep well tonight, my last set was 190x5

My friend said I looked like Hozier. He told me last year when a my hair was long and I didn't have the beard but I looked like literally every famous white person with long dark hair. Lulz

The DC crossover

30 pounds lighter and not a million warm up sets. I can't wait to see my gains after this cycle. My roommate didn't bring home my sling shot. Boo. It's going to make heavy benching easier and spare my shoulders. Took all of 45 minutes when it usually takes an hour. So it's quick and awesome

[itsg0ld3n]

Here is what I end off with before I start madcow. I need the four weeks of slightly reduced weight and I look forward to five ramping sets for squats instead of six warm ups and 5 sets with 270. I'm also going to get a weight gainer because it will help with the gains. Mutant mass and Russian bear 5000 should help me bulk while I cycle off my pre-workout for a month.

Madcow 5x5

So in 4 weeks, I can start madcow. It's the intermediate version of StrongLifts. My Maxes on everything should be at the advanced level by then relative to my weight. I was confusing myself thinking that advanced weight should be my Rep weight. It will be nice to get a small break since madcow takes about 40 lbs off to start. But after these four weeks. I will be doing a 12 week madcow run. By the end of that, my maxes should be my workset weight. If I run another one after that and make it, my lifts will be in the elite bracket. It's supposed to be impossible only 1% of the population reaches this. Bring It On. More weight means more food. And better sleep.
