I prefer to smoke after working out rather than before.....Ever break out in laughter when bench pressing? Talk about immediate loss of strength lol. Breaking out in laughter during any exercise is like that too, so i prefer after

One of the dudes I train with squats over 1000, not very many people in this world who can do that, so i'm thankful to get the training from him to make the gains I want.

I'm assuming that 1000lb squat is with a multiply suit?

RAW ftw

good luck with your powerlifting! sounds like you have a great strength:weight ratio

you swim under a football field minus endzones? 3 times. lol. sounds like your trying to get shallow water blackout. good training, esp with a couple laps cool down.

This guy can stay under water for 5 minutes.

P.S. I do Rippetoe's 3x5:

A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench
1x5 Deadlift

B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Overhead Press
3x5 Pendlay Rows

MWF, alternating A and B.

Search google "novice barbell training" if you're interested in the advanced version.

I've spent hours and hours studying squat form and stretching my hamstrings and hips and I'm just starting to really get the form down perfect.

Don't be afraid of squats, people. You aren't lifting to your full potential if you are neglecting squats. No puss-pads, no smith presses. Love the iron.

Not to mention, squats will make your entire body blow up. They increase your testosterone levels and vascular structure more than any exercise (the glutes are the largest muscle in the body!). I've lifted regularly for about 7 years now. For about 6 of them I was afraid of the squat. I am now in love with the squat.

Anyway, I've lifted high before and it was a really extraordinary experience that I recommend. I don't lift with people so I am not at any risk of laughing. With pot, there's a notable difference in your sense of proprioception, especially with regards to your muscles. You feel your muscles differently. You can get inside of them and feel them tense and labor differently. It's almost like it's possible to have a better lifting session with them, so long as you aren't prone to couch-lock.

I have a very disciplined diet and would not compromise it when high.

Also, I have a recommendation that everyone should read, written by Henry Rollins called Iron and the Soul.

And finally, these points:

• The squat rack is for squats, not barbell curls (frat curls, as we call them)
• If you want big arms, get big legs
• If you don't know about diet, don't bother lifting
• If the barbell does not touch your chest, it is not a bench press
• If you do not go at least to parallel, it is not a squat
• If you are compromising form for more weight, you are in the gym for the wrong reasons. Kill your ego

at least my weighted pullups are better than yours haha
