i hate having had reactive arthritis and not being in a gym for years. my back lifts suck ass, and i want to get into doing snatches and cleans coming out of the front squat and I CANT!!!!!! i fucking hate it!!!! I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT.

Oh dear god... PLEASE don't be one of those guys at the show that walks around all puffed up with ILS like he's trying to prove something.

Because we all just laugh at those people :biglaugh::biglaugh:

my deadlift is horrible, mainly due to when I broke my hand a year ago. I have a hard time gripping the bar, should get some straps

i feel your pain. the bad thing for me is that. i want to get into those olympic lifts. my squating isnt to bad. i can olympic squat i can not stay off my toes at all. not matter how much weight i drop. maybe i have to just start off with virtually the bar and work on it. but if i open my stance some i can stay on my heels no problem.

second i fell like i could military press around 285 to 315. i did 285 before but i know i could have went up more, but i can barlley deadlift that and if i can deadlift it i cant clean it. its a struggle getting the bar up and cleaned but once i press it it doesnt feel like a problem at all.

and i might be able to get up more with the military press but i have to build up the confidence to jerk it (no homo). i was doing some jerks a few months ago when i was trying to see where my knee was at and i messed it up for about a month. i feel like my knees have gotten stronger since then with me being able to do squats but i dont want to jerk 315 and wind up hurting my knee again.


this is bullshit. im getting mad thinking about it

LOL I wasn't planning on it, I hate those people. Any tips on how to impress to the female models? :biglaugh::biglaugh: j/k

What's ILS??

:biglaugh:

Confidence is a HUGE thing. And letting them know that you appreciate the muscle and the work they've done is good too ;) Just don't sound like a schmoe.

Imaginary Lat Syndrome

Only the chicken shit little boys :) not the ones who appreciate a woman who loves a good steakhouse :biglaugh:

and the ILS is some funny shit!!!

i hate being the newest person at my job. they are moving our whole team and that means we get a new seating arrangement. which means since i am the newest person i will most likley lose my window seat and i might have to sit REALLY close to my supervisor. this sucks

:biglaugh:Holy shit, that is hilarious. I love it!

You guys have never heard the term ILS before?
