It happened.
After 3 weeks it happened. People noticed!!!
Walked into work and the boss asked me what size shirt I am for the new uniforms, and I said large. He replied, "large?" and some other guy went, "yeah can't you see? He's jacked!"
Okay, so I was thinking… he's probably just kidding around. But then later I asked another coworker if I'm getting fat, coz my mom said I was getting fat, and he replied with "Nah you're not, you're looking more solid though." Then another guy said, "yeah you're not fat, but you're larger up in shoulder area".
And I dunno, I just noticed that lots of girls are treating me better. Like they're actually talking to me and stuff.
I feel really good. I feel happy. And I'm only 3 weeks in!!! I can't wait for my USA trip.
So all the boys are noticing you, how nice... -

A good way to make consistent progress is to rotate your power movements every 2-3 weeks.
Ah fuck, I thought this meant just rotating the order I do my exercises, but apparently it means to change dumbbell press to bench press, etc.
Fuck. So I have to learn some new things. :/ Well bench press is easy I guess, but now tomorrow I'll have to replace squats and deadlift. -
2018-04-08 at 2:31 AM UTCYeah I always read that changing up the types of exercise is important, even if they work the exact same muscle group. I dunno if it’s just new age bullshit or if there’s actually any research behind it.

I'm going to trust it, especially since Layne Norton hasn't failed me before. I found this site for good alternatives:
https://www.syattfitness.com/westside-barbell/the-westside-barbell-conjugate-method-a-guide-to-variation/
Just haven't found anything on row alternatives yet. I guess I've been doing a bent over row? I'll see how "pendlay" rows are different and try to do them today I guess. -

Seems easy, I guess. Never seen anyone else in the gym do these. Hope I don't feel awkward. -
2018-04-08 at 2:44 AM UTCThis guy explains it well. He's buff as fuck, too. I trust him.

2018-04-08 at 4:13 AM UTCEvery buff person I've met IRL has been a complete fucking retard
But then again just about everybody I meet irl is a complete fucking retard so that probably doesn't mean anythingThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-04-08 at 6:07 AM UTCDamn, changing those power exercises makes it feel like a new routine! Even if it won't do anything physically (which i believe it will), it's definitely doing something mentally. It's like I've reached chapter 2 of my routine or something. Very motivating.
Day 16: Upper Body Power
Pendlay Rows: 17.5kg each side
Weighted Pullups: 0kg still. What in the fuck is going on, for realz?
Wide-Grip Pulldowns: 11th setting
Barbell Bench Press: 20kg each side
Incline Press: 20kg dumbbells
Shoulder Press: 17.5kg dumbbells still. I think it's because I've been going to failure too much with these. Am going to concentrate on that this week, and hopefully be at 20kg next time.
Bar Curls: 6.5th setting
Skull Crushers: 12th setting -

Going to start doing these deadlifts instead on hypertrophy days. Should've been doing these the whole time, oh well.
Will also be doing front squats tomorrow instead of back squats, for the next 3 weeks. -
2018-04-08 at 8:05 AM UTC
Will be doing these daily (3 sets, 15 seconds or reps each), along with planks, except for my rest days. -

Do these. They help a lot, I would know.

Originally posted by Enter Hmm, interesting. He convinced me, especially when he compared the band to rear delt exercises. I will buy a band now.
this is partially why I warned you about doing your push pull workouts. If you bench press for example, you need to do at least double that on the muscles between shoulder blades. The chest has large muscles, and muscles connect to joints. Big muscles will pull harder, pulling the body in the same direction. This can cause joint problems, etc. This is why I went to physical therapy, and it takes a LONG time to fix.
To this day, I can feel a difference in posture when I do this workout, especially in the morning. I feel taller when I walk outside if I did these that morning. -

True, that's fucking shit, sorry to hear that. I'm going to be adding a rear delt exercise to my back and shoulders day as well, then.
Yes, will definitely be buying a band thing then. Will head out to a sporting goods store tomorrow. -
2018-04-08 at 9:46 AM UTCWomen still won't fuck you

2018-04-08 at 12:17 PM UTCWill be doing these tomorrow instead of normal squats:
-
2018-04-09 at 3:34 AM UTCHoly fuck I'm exhausted. Still feel fuckin' dizzy. Glad I'm only doing normal deadlifts once a week now.
Day 17: Lower Body Power
Front Squats: 12.5kg each side
Leg press: 7th setting
Leg extensions: 6th setting
Deadlifts: 35kg each side
Leg curls: 9th setting
Standing calf raise: 25kg each side
Seated calf raise: 14th setting
Those fucking deadlifts. Could feel myself almost dropping them on my last couple of reps. Will probably need to buy gloves; chalk isn't good enough. Will buy them when I buy my band. Also, my back bends when I'm initially lifting the weight from the ground. Will have to look into how to prevent that.
Other than that, those front squats... I can't really get my elbows to go up like that. Googled it, and apparently it's due to flexibility. Oh well, I'll try my best.
Fucking tough day. Felt myself almost throwing up at the end, but told myself to keep pushing through. Mind over matter shit. Should be having bigger breakfasts on leg power day, and also wait at LEAST 2 and a half hours after eating, I think. 2 hours isn't long enough. -

I doxed Bumble, Slag's old girlfriend, and some man uh some old faggot with a dog, Sepht. I doxed another girl, I had to, she called me a virgin and uh someone else there I can't remember maybe a model, but she's doxed too. And Raptor Ribs. I doxed RAPTOR RIBS like an axe in the face, he sells bathtubs by his local Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've doxed maybe 20 users, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of them, uh some of the girls have seen that I have the tapes. I even, um… I doxed some of their families, and I tried to fuck with them a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to dox a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time. I guess I'll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh, I mean I guess I'm a pretty autistic guy. So, if you get back tomorrow, I may show up at the retarded thread, so you know, keep your eyes open.
Bumble will demolish you in a court of law. -
2018-04-09 at 12:01 PM UTCFriend didn't notice I've been working out. Done the gay, womanly hint thing by asking if he thinks I'm getting fat (holy fuck I'm gay lol), but he still didn't notice. But that's cool -- just motivates me further to REALLY make the big gains!
I've got 2 weeks to make noticeable gains before I see this girl again, who I haven't seen in months. Fuuuck hope I make it! -
