Orpz-
what are you squatting, deadlifting, benching ?
I had to take a month off squatting and deadlifting due to a bummed knee :(
Not too worried about it, I was due for some recovery time anyway.

[sc2reboot]

Lets see... at least 30 more years of training consistently, excluding handicapping accidents, 6 sets a day...

at least 10 left brah

Frog, how tall are you

[Frog]

Broke 7 vertebrae and more bones skiing in Feb 2013, started lifting bar with no weight back in August 2013. Took a month off in October for a torn back muscle (Quadratus Lumborum), and took April 2014 off due to knee ligament issue and broken toe

6'2''/6'3'' - 85 kilos - 11% BF - Natural
Deadlift: 185 kilos
Squat: 160 kilos
Flat Bench: 110 kilos

How do you manage to break 7 vertebra? .-.
Once more, do that and not become paralyzed from the waist down.

Weird, I always imagined Frog to be like 5'8" for some reason. Idk why.

[Frog]

@Creed - Yeah, I forget who I've shared this with. I hit a tree skiing off piste last year. Luckily my spinal cord was untouched. I spent 100 days in a tight vest to make sure my bones healed properly, although according to xrays they healed up by the 2 week checkup. At first I was embarrassed walking around town with the vest on, attracting a lot of attention, and then I just embraced it. I would go all out running with the vest on trying to pass as many people as I could. I'd go out to the bars and surprisingly telling people you broke your back is a great opener for free drinks. I did lose a lot of muscle mass due to not using my core or back for 100 days though... pretty big down side.

@ Mr. J.B. - haha, it's funny you mention it, I feel great now that you opened up this thread to speculation on each other. I always thought you were 12 and fabricated Bunny, and then I was told you were actually married, and I realized I was wrong. Then I thought, wow, there is someone mature on this website, incredible! And I was less than impressed with your last speculative comment that is neither positive nor contributing to the thread.

I'll just end this with: I thought you were taller, and had better fashion sense. IDK why either.

[Helz]

Confession: I have never deadlifted anything in my life and I never intend to. I spend plenty of time working out but I have and always will stick to dumbbell free weights. Quite a few people have told me I am wrong there but it just makes sense to me and I don't work out to get big. I am pretty happy with where I am at.

There is a guy I work with that looks like a fucking beast. Sadly his muscles are some big ol balloons. Big as hell for nothing. Sure he looks good. But guys half his size make him look like a bitch when it comes to moving anything heavy or doing anything that requires endurance.

[Cryptonic]

It's not a negative comment, no need to get defensive. It was a legitimate thought. Anybody I know from the middle east is about that height (maybe a bit taller), and everyone I know who has been heavily into working out I find are shorter on average. It was a legitimate question, wasn't meant to be an insult. What do you have against short people?


Also, look at the OP. Nothing and/or everything contributes to the thread.

But good job freaking out, you must be really sensitive and insecure if a simple question about your height sets you off like that lol.

I carry the entire town. Anyone got any PKs?

[Frog]

"It's not a negative comment" - I said it was neither positive nor moving the thread forward, strawman fallacy

But while we're on the topic, the implication of your comment was negative. I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt to explain yourself, but you had concluded your statement with "I don't know why" - implying all of the rational height related thoughts were not applicable until I call you out on it. If you did know why at the time, why not explain it with the rational height related thoughts? The alternative thought process is such that the reasoning behind your speculation is inappropriate or irrational, which is why you concluded with "I don't know why".

^This is my thought process which I think is rational is not sensitive

[Cryptonic]

Because it's not logical to assume something when I know absolutely nothing about you other than you play SC2 Mafia, work out, and live in the middle east. For all I know, you could've been a giant Somoan man. That's why I had said I didn't know why I thought (read: assumed) that you were shorter. Which is always why I asked, so I could stop assuming.

But I'm glad to know you creep my fb :)


Anyways, what's wrong with short people?

[Frog]

You caught me. The reason I freaked about height is because.. I lied.. I'm actually much shorter than you thought. The truth is...
I'm actually a cupcake.

This conversation made me laugh my ass off. Kind of reminded me of my first conversation with bunny.

I'm a new bro but happy to say I hit 1 plate for bench and squats recently, and am at a plate and 25 for deadlifts. All 5x5's. This thread is now officially a progress thread.

On the topic of height -- I'm pretty short myself (20th percentile) but it's never disadvantaged me, contrary to what other short guys think :S.

YES!!!!! Look at how quickly I progressed in a year with all my injuries. Plus you're in the prime of your testosterone boosts, you're on the equivalent of steroids at this point in your life. Your numbers and size will grow like a beast. Keep it up bud! My advice though, once you hit 2x bodyweight in 1 rep max of squats or deadlifts (http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html) you'll be much more prone to injuries (knees, back) - at that point I'd switch over to higher volume routine. You should be hitting 2x bodyweight within 3-6 months if you increase lbage of squats and dls by 5-10 lbs every workout.

Benching is 4 pussies. In fact working out is for pussies. While I was a waiter I was gaining serious muscle mass from carrying around trays of heavy hot food for 4-8 hours consecutively.
Behold this gun. 1 month after getting fired I'm still ripped. http://i.imgur.com/muHYpYa.jpg
