I also hate lifting, it's painful, I can't make it.
Why is everyone happy when I'm so miserable because of my defective brain?
Who here is killing themselves in 2016?

Life itself is painful, whenever I'm lifting or doing cardio I think "in 2 years it will pay off", now fuck off and lift your weights, Ronnie Coleman can be a juiced meathead but he is a smart juiced meathead, you want to be life a bodybuilder but you don't want to lift heavy ass weight.
i wont kill myself in 2016 but i intend to kill myself probably by 2020 after ive finished uni and had my fun

>not starting uni in 2017 and ending in 2021
Kill yourself you fucking oldfag

They usually put out a video with the audio as a podcast every week but recently they've been stalling with best-of shit. Still great backlog with lots of information, great guests and interesting topics.

Iron Radio is also great, although a bit lacking in audio quality. Still awesome with a moderation trio and interesting guests who know their shit.

Sup everyone.
I'm here to answer some of the most frequent questions about the new released PHIR Liner Progression for novice lifters.
If you have any further questions, I'll be here for a while so feel free.
Q: What is the point of going to failure on the first set?
One of the major things novice programs should be able to allow, but usually don't, is autoregulation. This means, the lifter himself should be able to regulate his progression. Someone might be really strong and able to add a lot of weight on his DL easily, and someone else might be cutting and won't be able to add as much weight. So it makes no sense that those two should add the same amount of weight to the bar.
The autoregulation guarantees that the progression will be tailored to YOU, not the other way around.
Q: Won't that negatively affect my progression?
The autoregulation isn't supposed to last forever. As in, after you reach a certain point, you don't need to go to failure anymore as your progression won't be changing much.
How do you know when you've reached that point? The instructions on the picture make it really simple and easy to figure it out: Once going to failure on the first set affects the rest of the sets. Then you stop going to failure on the first set and stick to the 5 reps, since you won't need autoregulation any longer, at least for quite a while, since your weight increases are gonna be fairly linear now.
Q: Why not go to failure on the last set, like Greyskull LP?
That makes no sense. You will be exhausted by the final set, doing it to failure doesn't mean anything since you are unlikely to actually reach your AMRAP max. Since the point of going to failure is to autoregulate the progression, you are supposed to test your AMRAP max while completely rested - aka in the first set.

fuck off m8, you are not getting famous
Q: Why not go to failure on the Deadlifts?
The whole point of going to failure is autoregulation. However, for the Deadlift, you can autoregulate it very precisely just by your back squat progression. This makes it unnecessary to go to failure on the DL.
But the main reason is, the Deadlift can cause very debilitating injuries if done with bad form and a round spine. Going to failure on it is a bad idea for novice lifters, as they don't have enough experience to be able to maintain proper and safe form throughout exhaustion.
Q: Why no BxAxBxx week?
The main focus of the program is the big three: Squat, Deadlift, and Bench Press. So it makes sense that those lifts are trained the most.
The OverHead Press is also very important for strength development. However, it's a lift that people easily stall, specially when compared to the Bench. From experience, I found that only OHPing once per week highly reduced the chances of plateauing. Besides, you're doing the OHP 1x per week compared to 1.5x per week on SS, so it's not a drastic reduction in volume.
Not only that, but the Bench, the Skullcrushers, and the lateral raises from workout A are gonna guarantee that your OHP keeps progressing even with the lower frequency of training.
The Power Clean on workout B is a way of recovering from the Deadlifts while still training with a floor pull. Plus, it brings the benefits of increasing the power production of the lifter.
The Chinups are an assistance exercise, and would be too tiring to be performed on the days you deadlift.
Q: What if I can't do any chinups?
You should do SS to build the foundation needed for PHIR LP. So stick with that until you're strong enough.

This is some cringe worthy shit. You're not a predator, or some conduit of personified emotion.
You're some asshole picking up metal and putting it down again.

Why do fat people even bother losing weight if they'll look even worse afterwards?

you can get surgery for that
>>35338924
Assuming that's the best he can ever possibly look including surgery hes probably going to live longer and feel better.
And there is no reason to make that assumption.

Most people on this board are fat, why post discouraging shit like this?
