***Official H&F LC Thread***
A valid strategy for getting ripped imo.

kc forum legend back. If we get him off low rep barbell lifting and onto the side of light then this is the H+F renassaince (periodization).
Recommend me some programs. Just doing the Bridge for a few weeks to get used to lifting and get a little strength back.
I'm not quite as weak as I expected already.
Renaissance periodization upper/lower or push/pull/legs 3 or 4x/wk.
Summary: Mostly dbs, machine, bw, sets of 8-30 on most things with "reverse pyramid of reps" where you take a weight then do something like 15 reps with 1-3 reps in reserve, then do another set at the same weight with 1-3 reps in reserve, then a 3rd set with 1-3 reps in reserve. Something like SLDL: 185lbsx15, 12, 10 with approx 2-5 minutes rest
Approximately 10-25 sets per week per bodypart, but individual sessions shouldn't have more than maybe 4-12 sets for a particular bodypart. Less sets if you're using higher reps.
Check the Renaissance periodization youtube channel for examples.
diet: high carb, moderate protein (1g/lb is more than enough), lower fats. If you're a pescatarian should be easy, but even as full on vegetarian not that difficult as long as you've got stuff like tofu, paneer, egg whites, cottage cheese, quark, etc.
Payoffwiz's log is also a good example. I'm enhanced, basline 12k steps per day just from work, tons of different pains and limitations, advanced bb trying to bring up specific weak bodyparts, and limited equipment due to living in China so looking at my log isn't a good example.
Check out the mustache on this ****ing guy. I'm only an 65 minutes into this podcast but it is a very interesting conversation.
I weigh less now than at any time since age 28 (138 pounds, BMI 20.5).
The secret? A week of explosive diarrhea. (I seem to be OK now.)
Skinny? Bulk!
Need to watch the 73 replay, but what in the ****ing ****?
The judging for pressouts has been horrific. It seems like they are just giving it based on how much the crowd is cheering. The Moldovan guy got absolutely robbed.
They should just get rid of pressouts. If someone uses inferior technique to get the bar overhead, who cares? We also miss out on some epic fights with pressouts.
Eurosport has gotten rid of the British woman, which is probably why they are barely showing WLing.
I appreciate her stance against pressouts, while I'm not a purist of her level, **** them pressouts.
Have you ever seen the footage of the Snatch event at the 09 CrossFit games? ‘Get to overhead in one movement’almost the only guideline. It’s some of the ugliest,
Most unsafe stuff you’ll ever see.’
My boy Commando Steve Willis gets a legal lift despite going to one knee to catch the weight and the press outs are truly remarkable
They literally just let a dude drown, so I don't think "safety" is really on anyone's mind there.
We're talking about professional weightlifters here though. What you described won't be an issue.
The discovery+ commentator says the person pulled too fast off the ground for like 75% of failed lifts.
I'm better off not having watched it then. RIP weird british lady obsessed with lockouts.
Watched the 102+ without commentary. Lasha looks like he's falling off, so still wins gold but doesn't snatch 220+ and could've lost if some guy hit a PB on C+J? That gut definitely has to be impeding his bar pathing. Christ.
I have recently learned of an entire subset of the Woo community who believes that all illness (ALL) is caused by psychological trauma which is treated by oil of oregano (get what you pay for obv) and umm... paying for $30 youtubes. Amusingly there is a 100% success rate if people purchase the correct supplements, but apparently there is r=1 for people who aren't treated and purchasing the wrong supplements.
Has anyone else experienced this? I found a few references to what seem to be highly intelligent but also very stupid medical professionals who can't understand that 90% of the battle is 1) don't be fat 2) exercise 3) don't smoke. And I guess #4 for invalids: not want to die.
Autistic but highly skilled professionals are kinda whatever. Plenty of people just don't pay attention to stuff. I was under the impression I developed asthma from a bacterial bronchitis infection coupled with super dry air and a dog that sheds infinitely. Now my third eye has been opened to the fact that it wasn't a bacterial infection, nor environmental factors, but that my childhood shame would hit most intensely when I was grooming the dog or exceptionally cold and dry days. Luckily my body has self purged the shame.
Maybe we can discuss how autoimmune conditions can be cured?
I'll tell you one thing for free, your childhood vaccines were the obvious culprits in developing autoimmune disease! Though this shame angle seems interesting as well, I'd subscribe to your newsletter if you charge at least $30 for each one.
Lol (respectfully.. rip)
I've been working as a personal trainer in a gym. But the weights are too heavy.
Oof.
lmao, perfect
Krunic's been saving that one for years waiting for the perfect timing.
Nicely done. I actually enjoyed it.
Lol
