The Jimbo Slice memorial thread, feat Nate Dogg - The new Off Topic thread

One thing that never ceases to amaze me with the gym is the sheer craziness of some people.
The other day, a women was using calf raise machine that was loaded to the hilt with plates. Tried to do a few reps, struggled immediately and blew her ankle. I don't know if it was a broken bone, or a torn ligament. I'd guess it was one or the other though. Stupid behaviour leads to accidents, the gym is no acceptation.
Then her lawyer contact the gym to let them know she is sueing them for damages. WTF?

I'm sorry she was hurt of course. But you you try to lift a weight that's too heavy for you, and you hurt yourself, that's your fault imo.

Very weak on bench to be honest, never very strong on it, even with practice over time, poor form most likely

Enjoying banded press ups at the moment & they're tough out, feel like I'm putting in good reps with it.

Also...I won't shut the fúck up about the looped bands I got to anybody who'll listen. Taking them on my travels, using them pretty much every day for stretching, banded hip thrusts and holds, rows, tricep extensions etc. Great for anybody working from a home setup to get full body circuit training in.

Have a distinctly average to weak bench, decent enough deadlift and reasonably good squat. Having said that pretty happy with the progress on my bench so far this year.

My bench is shíte.

But it's the same buzz trying to make it less shíte as it is to make a squat or a deadlift better.

Coming extremely close to x1 bodyweight Military Press and x1.5 bodyweight Bench Press....just need to increase both by 2kg.

Surpassed x2 bodyweight Squat and x2.5 bodyweighy Deadlift.

My goal for the next 12 months is to get a x3 bodyweight deadlift.

No homo but, how’s the physique? Is it actually possibly to get to those lifts but still not look ripped, if you don’t pay attention to your diet and train exclusively in low reps?

Yep can confirm. Not ripped. Half decent numbers. Muscle mag lied to me!

Quick Comp judging question:

If a foot moves on one side during bench do both side judges have to call it ?
Or should it just be one red light ?

Once any judge sees it they can call a red

If all 3 see the same rule being broken, e.g. movement of the foot, they can all call it a red.

The judges are front and sides so they are covering the relevant angles. It doesn't mean they can only call what any rules relevant to their side.

On a cut so physique is ok atm. Def not ripped but people notice that I go to the gym. Thought I would be looking a lot better with those numbers and time in the gym.

Don't exclusively train low reps. I do Jim Wendlers 5/3/1 BBB workout with extra added accessories.

I had a better physique when I was the average leg day skipping gym goer many moons ago... (Upper body only blah blah blah) My wife says my physique is btter now, and more rounder because my legs have a fair bit of size on them but I have never heard anyone ever say 'Ooooh, look at his quads in those jeans...' in real life, so I doubt that this is anyone's physique goal!

That being said you would know that I got o the gym if you looked at me, but I probably looked more athletic previously (and in my early 20's too probably didn't hurt!)

I think that might be just because women often don't tend to say those things out loud like a guy might (but they may well be thinking them

). I would definitely notice a well developed back, quads or set of glutes before arms tbh!

Feck that. Vests from ALDI really get the ladies attention. They show of your guns and your consciousness with money. Women love some thriftiness.

Brian?

It’s summer. It’s time to post this again.

I love this t shirt. I’ve nearly worn mine out. Time to buy another couple.

I wasn't being altogether serious. Aldi or Sportsdirect. They used do some rugby training tops which were t-shirts but proper thick material. Durable.

The cockroaches will be wearing tops like that when they wander about after the nuclear holocaust.

Oh God, just came across this "women's protein" - produced in Ireland and everything.
Look at the pricing! :eek:

450g for €40!

https://speciallyforyou.ie/collections/tubs

A cheap multivitamin and some "man" protein from myprotein/bulkpowders sounds like a much cheaper alternative to me. Whenever I see these things I really hope women don't get taken in by it

Aren't you ranked on symmetrical strength as elite after just two years training...

That’s where those online strength comparisons are just waffle !!!

There will be an irish lad competing in the 100kg class this evening .. Killian Carolan .. worth watching

Stefi Cohen put up 200/97.5/235 for a 532.5 total at 54kg and set the highest wilks of all time.

And then that wilks was beaten by CC Holcomb who went 280/164/275 at ~79kg....664 wilks
