Just finished the Bear complex

5 Rounds For Load
Complete 7 Unbroken Sets of this Complex:
1 Power Clean
1 Front Squat
1 Push Press
1 Back Squat
1 Push Press

In the end I was just using the bar. God that's fucking painful. Its that light repetitive weight lifting that just plain hurts after a bit.

Is a push press just bench / decline / incline or something?

And yeah that sounds rough, f that. I’m too old

It's an overhead press but unlike the traditional or military overhead press, you're allowed you use your hips to launch the bar off your shoulders a bit.

Notice the dip in her hips before she presses it.

It's like you get 3 reps in and you think to yourself "holy shit" -- but you only have 5 mins to complete / rest before the next round and you can't pause at the bottom.

Damn dude I’m traumatized. She’s ugly

I couldn’t do that Bear complex thing the way she did it the second time (with no breaks). I’d die / break my back

Only preworkout is himalayan pink salt and water to help the electrical connections and blood pressure. Along with good sleep, energy from the sun and putting my bare feet on the ground. Don't need caffeine or nothing else. And motivated by the fact that I enjoy it, feel strong and naturally want to be strong and healthy from the deepest parts of my heart and because that's what a real man and servant of God would be.

Post workout is grass fed beef, raw milk cheese, cayanne pepper, 100% fruit juice, home made organic saurkraut. Then some pastured raw eggs the next day blended with organic spinach cause its easy to drink, bananas, peanut butter, brazil nuts cause they got tons of selenium, and any other REAL food I feel like eating. No junk food.

Rest between sets minimal as possible cause you produce more HGH with more intensity or supersets. Doing a full body workout with 2-3 days rest although I havn't been going as often as I should cause I have a bad habit of staying up late sometimes. Do heavy as possible for strength, then medium to light until failure for size while holding on the way down for time under tension and trying to burst on the way up to activate fast twitch, full range of motion and all free weights or cables. I do whatever weight feels right. Also do shadow boxing with and without weights to make that motion stronger and build muscle memory for if I have to use it. Better than nothing.

nope, we're all pretty much the same. the idea that genetic or even epigentic variance might affect growth or performance is a fairytale contrived to console losers who just don't want to put in the work. Variations in frame size, height, myostatin, etc. is all just a bunch of horseshit. Eat big, lift big, be big.

Real talk.

Some things are easier though for some. Still everyone can achieve similar results I believe.

I always was good at lower body and core stuff and bad at upper body, back, and shoulders.

Btw my blood pressure is elite now.

120 squats + sundry other lower body work is cake now. Not really getting sore anymore.

I dipped below 150 n I swear I have a lot more lean mass now. My body is changing rapidly.

Like... A size 5 easy now. Size 5 panties feel rly loose.

No, just every once in a while when I push it and rep 275 or whatever, I feel a pain in my left shoulder area

Makes no sense because I go left to beat it and choke my wife so idk. But all seriousness any exercises you recommend to strengthen the (((rotator cuff)))?

Warmup and stretch a bit.

Focus on tris, traps, and delts.

With cables do lower weight higher rep lateral raises, front raises, and rear delt flies. Chest flies with cables and bring them up higher.

Try to avoid shoulder pressing heavy weight and maybe not maxing out on bench for a couple of weeks.
