hey guys

i wanna hit a world record bench for 13-15 year olds in 165 lbs weight class

im 15 rn i weigh 158 lbs and my bench is 250 atm my birthday is april 28 so thats my deadline i think i wanna break the 2024 world record and atleast get top 10 bench in world for it

do yall think its possible? and is there any advice to help me do the epicly lifting

[sour widget]

idk much about benching, but maybe you should just practice it everyday and keep your goal in mind? mindset is the most important thing.

i'm rooting for ya

[wooden aspen]

idk man adding 57.5kg to ur bench in 8.5 months sounds very unrealistic

especially since ur already out of ur newbie gains phase

[forest inlet]

mb i forgot to mention its pounds not kg

wait nvm

also js trying to hit the 2024 world record or place high in the all time record i dont think its possible for me to hit that either withing that time

[forest inlet]

also im trying to hit the world record for fifteen year olds

not 21 year olds

[wooden aspen]

theres no such thing as world records for 15 year olds

cus the age category for 15 yos fall in the "sub junior" category

which is for 14-18 year olds

[wooden aspen]

this is the world record for sub juniors

[forest inlet]

im not doing the record for sub juniors tho

im doing the highest recorded max for fifteen year olds

[wooden aspen]

oh so u dont lift in the ipf

ohhh

so not in an official meet type of thing

[forest inlet]

yeah not really then

[wooden aspen]

ohh alright

[forest inlet]

im gonna try getting the highest recorded max for every year throughout hs till i hit the subjuniors wr

[wooden aspen]

things are easier said than done

but atb man

[forest inlet]

yeah

ik

[wooden aspen]

anyways my advice is to find a good coach to work with so he/she can provide u a good personalised program

then pace ur training blocks well and always autoregulate on days when the bar feels heavy, it may be tempting to wanna chase loads but when you feel weaker on a certain day and do that, it will set ur recovery back for the next few weeks and mess up the entire training block

so for example, a successful training block will look like: week 1 - 100kg @ rpe 6, week 2(u feel weaker) - 95kg @ rpe 7, week 3 - 105kg @ rpe 7, week 4 - 110kg @ rpe 8, week 5 - 112.5kg @ rpe 9 PR.
(due to the autoregulation in week 2, u managed ur fatigue well and the block was successful with a pr in week 5)

a failed training block will look like: week 1: 100kg @ rpe 6, week 2(u feel weaker but still push the loads regardless): 105kg @ rpe 8.5(meant to be rpe 7 but u overshot), week 3: 107.5kg @ rpe 9, week 4: 110kg fail
(block failed because of the recovery setback by not pacing the block well in week 2)

lastly, treat ur accessory work seriously and not just anyhow do them for a pump. they are important for extra muscle growth and more muscle mass means a bigger cup and that means u can fill more water(strength) in it by training for strength and be stronger overall

also bulk but not so hard that you move out of your weight class

and listen to your coach's feedback and apply the changes to ur form to optimise the moment if necessary

the rest is up to your genetics and that cant be controlled(height, arm length, rib cage size all plays a huge role in determining how well built u r to bench press)
if u are short then it will obviously be easier cus shorter range of motion, same with shorter arms and a larger rib cage

but if you are not blessed with those attributes then work on the things that you can change such as the training points i pointed out above as well as sleep and nutrition as thats the most u can do

[dense crypt]

I’m on medication that causes weight gain. I just lost 80 pounds from last summer and I gained almost half of it back. So I’ve been going on walks recently. Are there any tips on consistency? (Also I have a pass for a recreational centre so it has a pool and gym stuff but like I’m scared to go because of people and idk where to start with equipment)

[wooden aspen]

if your goal is simply to lose weight then ingesting lesser calories than your body burns daily is the most effective way for that.

for the consistency part as long as you stick to it long enough, working out will become a normal habit you dont think about doing like brushing your teeth. you can think about the end goal you are trying to achieve to motivate yourself to start off.

about the pool and gym you dont have to be afraid of the other people there cuz nobody cares about what you do and everyones there to focus on their own workouts. maybe you can try bringing a friend along with u for the first few times u go if it helps. you will then realise that nobody really looks at what you are doing in there.

for the equipment part you can just start with something you are comfortable with such as machines for now, it does not need to be barbells or free weights.

[plucky willow]

Is 1300 cals enough? My appetite has been taking a massive hit lately and i have trouble getting to 1500

On average i burn abt 2100-2500 cals a day

Im 5'2 and idk how much i weigh

I have alot of muscle

But i cant eat

I just feel sick when i try to eat more

I started a cut

And i look good

But my appetite is awful

[stone topaz]

Definitely not if you burn almost 1000 calories more. If you’re on a cut still, I’d say to try to increase it by at least a couple hundred more, maybe 500. I’ve never struggled with low appetite but I imagine that liquid calories could be good. Protein shakes, high calorie juice/beverages? (Without much sugar obv)

[plucky willow]

I like to flavor my water, but theyre max 25 cals

Sometimes i grab small pieces of cereal to snack on but no more than 50 cals worth

I average abt 1500 cals a week but that average is going down

[warm falcon]

damn

Often i burn like 3000 in a day, how do you even survive?

today I ate a huge ahh bowl of cous cous and was still hungry

i always eat to failure but it's so hard for me to gain weight just because of how much i burn in training

[plucky willow]

It used to be worse

I used to only eat like 600 cals a day and call it good

I didnt know bc i didnt pay attention

Like i would track it occasionally

And it was no more than 1200

Usually up to 700

[plucky willow]

I get full from an apple and cheese stick

But at the same time

I know i can eat more just

I dont feel hungry

Or i forget to eat

Or i just... dont feel like it

Idk how i didnt loose a significant amt of weight

And if i did

I didnt notice

Bc i i would bloat so bad anytime i ate

And i thought i was fat

Now that im eating more my bloating is better and i can see my abs occasionally

I feel like this might be because i have an eating disorder that now my eating habits and appetite is fucked

I thought i "recovered" just with a hit if guilt but

I guess not

This is supposed to be a cut but this more of a bulk lol

Like rn, i ate a bowl of mac n cheese and spaghetti this morning (ik not nutritious but its a cheat week) but now i cant eat anything else w/o feeling nauseous

Yk what this explains why im short

Uhg but its awful, i still feel guilty when i eat 1600 cals, i ignore it and i know thats still 500 cals less than my maintenance but

I feel awful and stressed sometimes

And other times i feel proud

[zinc moss]

how short are you?

[plucky willow]

5'2

I like how you ask how short i am instead of how tall 😔

[zinc moss]

no one tall is gonna be able to eat that little and not die 😭

[plucky willow]

True 😭😔

Idk how im alive rn tbh

All ik is that im really sleepy

And tired

[zinc moss]

you should eat more 😭

[plucky willow]

Isnt 1500 enough though

I mean 700 def wasnt and idk HOW I DIDNT DIE

Idk

[warm falcon]

Depends

Why would you want to cut anyeay

Check how much you weigh and

[warm falcon]

Idk

But if you've been eating 700 before, i doubt you still need to cut

[plucky willow]

Yeah but that was like 2 yrs ago

[plucky willow]

If i do i will have a memtal break down lol

Idk when ill be safe to weigh myself again

I like the way i look rn

I can see my abs

I have a nice body i just hate seeing how much i weigh

Ill go back to normal amt of cals once my semester starts

Im just scared ill get sick tho

Cuz thats how i feel rn after eating over 1500

I think i should see a doctor

Idk if this a mental barrier or nah

Or both

Ill figure it out

[warm falcon]

Do you fear weighing too much?

[plucky willow]

Yeah

I probably already do technically bc i have alot of muscle and im naturally curvy

Its not from fat but i hate those numbers

[warm falcon]

If you can see your abs, you're definitely not overweight

It's fine if you bulk, it makes it way easier to gain muscle and not feel sleepy throughout the day

[plucky willow]

Im trying to feel more comfortable about it but for no im sticking to 1500 since thats the highest ive ever gotten before

[plucky willow]

Sometimes im worried its in my head tho

Idk

[grim canopy]

bro I'm jealous of your waist wtf

[summer violet]

😭

I am just thin 😭

[grim canopy]

the taper is insane

[summer violet]

Thanks🔥

Its the angle too probably

[grim canopy]

your arms are crazy too

you have lots of lean muscle

[summer violet]

Thank you 😭it means a lot

I am kinda short so it helps

[summer violet]

😭

[warm falcon]

must have been quite donerless fir that physique

[summer violet]

😭 lmao

[mystic jacinth]

1 month of cutting update
down from 210 now at 185

[mossy mauve]

test

[restive silo]

boys anyone cycling tren/soma?

[signal basin]

I don't think anyones cycling bud.

[toxic lotus]

i cycle

[restive silo]

tren or what

[toxic lotus]

commute

[restive silo]

W ig

[toxic lotus]

sometimes off terrain

wbu

[restive silo]

Goon everyday

[toxic lotus]

havent heard of that type of cycle before

[restive silo]

jk I’m on 500mg of tren + 200 test

And 20iu HGH everyday

[real hazel]

"I'm fat"

[summer violet]

Doot said that not me 😭

I mean i am

To some extent

Like look at my abs

[real hazel]

Dude if you're fat, I weigh more than Lunala pre-evolution

[summer violet]

😭 😭 😭 😭

This is just good lighting

[real hazel]

YEAHHHH SUUUREEE

[summer violet]

@zinc moss here not anywhere

Yes

[summer violet]

😭 😭

[zinc moss]

[real hazel]

Bro if you're fat I'm a fucking elephant

[zinc moss]

horrendous pictures

[stone nimbus]

gay shirt !

[zinc moss]

yes!

[zinc moss]

shirt hides it

[summer violet]

🔥 🔥

[zinc moss]

i could have picked smaller shorts my legs are quite big

[real hazel]

Yeah sure
One guy is "just good lighting" the other is "shirt hides it"

[summer violet]

@real hazel Your turn i guess

[zinc moss]

it's 5:30 I should be sleeping

[summer violet]

@zinc moss isnt this just good lighting 😭😭

[summer violet]

Sleep

[zinc moss]

nah you look good

[summer violet]

You too 🔥

It is lighting too

[zinc moss]

i could stand to lose more weight

[summer violet]

Plays a good role ngl

[summer violet]

You could but if youre powerlifting its better to have weight

[zinc moss]

id send a shirtless picture so fat could be seen but no 🫶

[zinc moss]

i want to lose a bit more so I can bulk up to be fair

being lean is never a goal i just want a better starting point for a bulk

[summer violet]

I see

Not bad really

[zinc moss]

losing weight is also kinda annoying as shit

[summer violet]

Ngl it is

[zinc moss]

especially cause I don't track shit well

[summer violet]

Not that hard to lose weight temporarily

But its such a pain to lose weight

Cutting weight is hard too but its definitely easier that losing weight for long term

Cutting weight is for like 2 weeks max

[zinc moss]

losing 40+ lbs fucking annoying

[summer violet]

Absolutely

[zinc moss]

i wish this took 2 weeks

it's been 2 years

only down 40 is actually crazy bad 💀💀💀💀💀

to be very specific it's 46 lbs 💀

[real hazel]

I already left the gym, so I'll send one later today when I go back to it

[zinc moss]

ping me when

i gotta sleep

[summer violet]

No i meant that cutting some weight (10 lbs maybe) is only viable for 10 days and this doesnt mean youre always 10lbs less. Its just that losing some wster weight and not eating for some days isnt a viable option

[real hazel]

Oops I forgot

[mossy mauve]

THE CARSEAT HEADREST SHIRT 😭

[zinc moss]

I put it on for the picture

it's also one of my "smaller" shirts

[signal basin]

Good work.

[devout dune]

[summer violet]

What 10 months of not working out does to you

[dawn hollow]

[summer violet]

Thanks ❤️

I guess but imma still workout from now

[dawn hollow]

yeew

[zinc moss]

[summer violet]

Yeah i should bulk now tbh

[mellow harness]

[hallow relic]

Alr if you say so I feel weaker.

[mellow harness]

hell I feel weaker when I take a day off

[hallow relic]

Sometimes its js weird like that

[mellow harness]

yeah fr you should be good tomorrow tho but idk

[mellow harness]

dam bro you looking jacked asf

[hallow relic]

Thanks lol

[mellow harness]

yup no prob you do calisthenics tho right ? if is so thats insane

[hallow relic]

Yes just push-ups and handstands.

[mellow harness]

dam thats insane !! amazing work

[hallow relic]

Thank you!

[mellow harness]

yup no prob

[ripe tundra]

You look great! How often are you training?

[hallow relic]

I gotta be honest it’s super inconsistent, some days I’ll do 200 pushups and some days I’ll do 50.

As an average maybe 5 days a week? No diet or strict routine.

[ripe tundra]

lol yeah, im not super consistent either. I'll either do gym/yoga like twice a week and then working out at home with a Tabata app.

[ember mauve]

@ripe tundra has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

[hallow relic]

Fr

[ripe tundra]

Yep, got into some assisted yoga when I had an injury from rythmic gymnastics years ago.

[hallow relic]

I always forget to stretch, I really should tho I get injured all the time.

[ripe tundra]

lol yep, you might regret it if you dont ha ha

[hallow relic]

I already regret it, my wrist hurts whenever I pick up anything now lol.

[ripe tundra]

ouch, hate when that happens XD not really into push ups but more into planking and that happens to me when I do it on a hard ground.

[hallow relic]

Yea I understand, push-ups get super boring after the first 40-50.

[ripe tundra]

do you also focus on legs as well?

[hallow relic]

I do squats and I run but not much else.

[ripe tundra]

nice 🙂 I prefer yoga poses and squats to running.

[hallow relic]

I can definitely see that it would be way more relaxing, probably should incorporate into my routine

[pearl tundra]

So, I'm in the middle of my first real bulk, and I just thought I'd look back on pictures from a few months ago. This is just a few pictures that really show some of the improvements I've mad. The first 3 are current, and the last two are from 4-5 months ago

Also, yes ik my back acne is bad, it's just bad genetics lol

[mellow harness]

Dam I am impressed I been bulking for 1 month and only gained 3 pounds

[pearl tundra]

I'd say just eat more (protein especially) and workout even harder

I'm up about 12 pounds from when I started

Granted, it's not the cleanest of bulks, but I've still put on a fair amount of muscle imo

Feeling stronger too

[hallow relic]

The bottom row is flexed now, the middle row is relaxed now, the top row is before.

[hallow relic]

@sour pendant yo wanna fight

Yes

I’d crack it like a twig bruh

Alr I’d crack it like a branch.

And ive broken many a tree and branches.

It’s not very hard

I’m not but I am decently strong.

I’m not taking about a 30 foot oak.

[austere ravine]

BRO I HAVE TO SCROLL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM

Nevermind I'm stupid

[frosty flare]

yeah yall have fun i dont really wanna shame anyone for their looks

[hallow relic]

I’m not shaming anyone, but he did say he hates tall women and that could beat me up.

And a ton of other incel stuff

[frosty flare]

i didn’t say you were but this is gonna turn into some catty shit i can tell i’m not defending him by any means i’m just done

[keen mist]

How old are you? If you are like under 15 you don't really know if it will stay like this

[hallow relic]

Alr I respect that

[frosty flare]

you could definitely beat him up tho have fun

[hallow relic]

He’s 17

[keen mist]

Even then it's not very set in stone

You can change a lot about your body

[hallow relic]

Yea look at me before working out I was like him.

[keen mist]

Yes like I don't look recognizable compared to when I was 14

And MY VOICE was the worst up until like 15

I was basically a soprano

[hallow relic]

I HAVE THE WORST BACK

[brazen cedar]

pull more

[lavish bone]

I do believe your biceps might be larger than my head.

[mystic jacinth]

lmaoooo preciate it

[lavish bone]

How long has your journey been?

[mystic jacinth]

i started like actually going to a commercial gym at like 15 ish and started rly getting consistent at like 17 and i’m 18 now

[lavish bone]

About 4 years, then. Just like @signal basin and I. How coincidental.

Was it due to Covid, do you imagine?

[mystic jacinth]

honestly yea i started like running during covid jus to get some exercise and then got into lifting and then jus continued from there

[lavish bone]

That makes sense.

[mystic jacinth]

now i mostly just lift but i play bball too

[lavish bone]

Bball?

[mystic jacinth]

basketball lmao

i used to play football but got a concussion

[lavish bone]

Ah, my translator was struggling but thank you for the clarification. I am assuming American football. I do find that sport interesting.

[mystic jacinth]

yea american football

yea i looooove football

used to play center and edge rusher

[lavish bone]

Center is an offensive position, yes? I am not familiar with the term "edge rusher" unfortunately.

[mystic jacinth]

yea center is the one who snaps the ball and blocks

edge rusher is on defense and they try to get around the offensive line to sack the quarterback

[lavish bone]

Maybe I am studying the wrong charts. That is good to know.

[mystic jacinth]

also known as defensive end too

[lavish bone]

Oh, that makes much more sense to the chart I was examining.

[mystic jacinth]

lmao yea sometimes we don’t call it like the exact name haha

[lavish bone]

Yes, it happens.

[dawn hollow]

dude that's insane how long you been working out

[forest dragon]
