It’s a Mossad Psyop alright
Sure they can charge a fortune for a ‘sim’ and make a killing. Why wouldn’t they?
Tis like when places shoved a load of coconut oil into a coffee, and charge 9 euro for it under the guise that mugs thought it was healthy!
The opposite of Israel: Germany
I meet a lad late year in the gym who has put me on to peptides. @KinvarasPassion

What does a peptide do for a lad heading for 50 fast?
Clear Skin, clarity of thought and I can bench press 120kg x 10. I also got Parkrun back down to under 19 minutes. I was in an awful way there for a while, gone the size of a bus

I’ve started doing one ‘heavy’ session a week on top of a couple of kettlebells sessions.
I’ve gotten back to 100kg on bench and 120kg on squats after a few sessions but wont have the time to try and build on that by much. You’d have to be dedicating a session to legs or bench really to see proper gains… ive 45 mins to do squat, pull ups, bench and some single leg split squats.

Going above the 100 on bench, or 110 especially, really takes work.

It does… I’ll keep going until i can do more than 5 reps comfortably at 100 and jump to 105 and repeat. At the moment I’m getting 3 or 4 depending on energy levels. Then 2 on my next go…
I go 60, 90, 100, 100.

How many sets/reps would you squat that weight for?
I’d do dead lifts every two weeks and find my fairy liquid hands let me down as I am moving up the weights. Grip gives out before the legs/back
I have a rotator cuff thing which had really affected by bench press over the last six months. I don’t really bother with it but must try and build back up
Today i did 2 reps at 120 just as a finisher.
… i did 6 at 100kg. 4 at 110. And 2 120kg.
Try some farmers walks for your grip. I usually do it in a side studio that’s quiet but if you dont have it fuck the begrudgers and just walk around the gym. Kettlebells helped me fix a rotator issue… i didn’t touch a standard weight for 8 months and my issue is gone.

I do 20 reps with the bar, 10 or so at 60, then 6 at 70, 6 at 80, 6 at 90, 4-5 at 100 and then it’s down to how I feel after that.
Throw in a very high rep set at the end then.

Energy is huge when trying to go heavy… your sleep might be off the smallest bit and it’s enough to throw you off a few reps or a few kg. I hit 105kg no problem last week for a couple of reps and today barely got 100 x 3.

overhand? underhand? onehand?
Yeah. I mean, it comes down to how fired up you are. Ideally, to go right heavy, especially for deadlifts but for bench as well, you’d completely rest for a few days before hand
