AuschieI used to do the exact same thing after going through a couple of tubs of Pre Jym. Definitely a good call from a monetary standpoint.
Get some Agmatine Sulfate too. I've now been just buying the Nutrabio Pre and it kicks Jyms ass. Agmatine is 10x more effective than citrulline in my opinion.
.Hugo.I like the exact opossite. For me citrulline completely outperforms agmatine
McNocheSays the guy that worked out twice this month.
.Hugo.Weird that i can only work out twice this month but still glute bridge the weight if your mom with ease
DayManAnyone else make their own preworkout? I just bought a bunch of beta alanine, L-citrulline, caffeine, and BCAA's to mix my own. I've been using Pre-Jym for a while but it's just too expensive

loopieOver the years I've cut out all the supplements in my diet (protein powders, pre-workout, ect) and I found they really didn't make a difference. 99% of the shit in the fitness industry is bullshit unless you are a professional athlete in my opinion.
mirozDefinitely have considered doing it. Let us know how it goes! What ratios are you using?
TheHamburglarcan anyone here pull 500+ on a deadlift?

TheHamburglarWont quote correctly but hell yeah bros get it
My previous heaviest was 420 but randomly hit 480 the other day, claim. Probably could have pulled 500 but decided to be safe, 480 felt like my back was about to fold
Been deadlifting about 2x a week recently since I hurt my wrist, and my 1rm went up ~60 lbs in about 5 weeks, which is sweet, but super weird also since my dead is disproportionate to my other lifts (squat 3 plates, bench and c&j 2) wondered if anyone else has experienced anything similar
SFBstarted lifting this summer but only did it 4x a week because of work but now im back at school gonna lift everyday.

lgwardnot that you asked or anything, but if it's any help, my boxing coach has done a lot of research for the workouts that we do, and it's not good for the same muscles to be worked out hard every day. you're supposed to get a day or two of rest per week, otherwise your muscles won't have adequate rest time to rebuild. for example, we rotate our workouts so they're never the same each day, and i even leave a couple days per week for rest where i just do lighter cardio. i'm sure this is an obvious thing lol, but just thought i'd point it out in case you were unaware, with being relatively new and all. cheers
JayRichMy bench is way behind my squat and dead. Can squat 455x4 (Have never tried to completely max out), Deadlift 505, but can only bench 275x2. My shoulders have been separated so many times, so I think that might effect going heavy on bench. My goal right now is to get over 1300 for my combined.
TheHamburglarDamn squatting 455 for reps!? I'd bet you could dead more than 505, but everyone's built differently so who knows
Also after I fucked my wrist up, I changed my pulling grip from pronated to double overhand with hookgrip, and it seems that my back is aligned straighter and I feel much stronger when going for a very heavy deadlift. Always argued for pronated grip until my numbers went through the roof with double overhand..

JayRichYeah, I've been really pushing myself on leg day lately. I'm built like a linebacker, so I feel like I should be squatting and pulling more than 500. I am always afraid of messing up my back, though.
I use double over hand for 1-3 plates then switch to pronated for anything heavier. I know with pronated grip it's meant to help the bar not slip, but it will still slip (A LOT) on anything over 400.
.Hugo.Wait but isnt pronated and overhand the same grjp?

JayRichYep. My bad. I usually just call it normal grip or mixed grip. Confused myself haha. I honestly have never even referred to it as pronated grip.
TheHamburglarahh fuck it is, I made the mistake of calling mixed grip "pronated grip" my fault

Never posted in here I don't think. Depending on what my work environment is like, if I'm not getting enough exercise action, I might try and rock out the gym a bit this season until I'm less fat.
The last 3 months of not working/exercising and pillaging food and craft beers haven't been helping anything.
YOLO
mirozTested my 1RMs yesterday: got 405 lb squat (70 lb PR), 275 lb bench (missed 290 lb twice, which woulda tied previous PR), and 500 lb deadlift! Actually pulled 500 lb twice because the phone video failed but I really wanted video.
Pretty stoked.
TheHamburglarDamn, 70lb squat PR! Nice work
I stupidly push pressed 225 last week w no belt and sprained my back. Couldn't even hold 135 on my back without pain yesterday. Taking another week to chill
Twinjibber77I did 185 for the first time last week and was feeling like a God... thank you for the humbling. Definitely rocking a belt as I continue.
Scotty_BSo what exercises should i work on for improving my skiing and future spinning abilities?
TheHamburglarI'd recommend several sets of 40s, blunts, ice, and 9s. 7 days a week, every week until you're proooo
