The Jimbo Slice memorial thread, feat Nate Dogg - The new Off Topic thread

Reps4jesus

i have decided to finally start tracking macros for a while to see how i get on.

Quick question tho, since i eat a whole lot of boojum, does anyone have a rough estimate of what a bowl with rice, black beans, chicken, guac, salsa and lettuce would work out at in terms of calories and the breakdown. I used the chipotle calculator online and it worked out at about 750 calories with about 50g of protein, 30g of fat and 65 carbs. This seem about right?

Probably about right.
The Mexican I go to puts their nutritional info on the menu. Chicken bowls are around 600 with rice. Could always get a boojum take away and weigh it check portion size.

Jesus how petty and pathetic are some posters on here. They come on looking for advice to achieve their goals, are given said advice and then a few weeks later set up a new thread (usually under a new username) asking the exact same thing. When people cop on to this and call the poster out on it, they delete their thread/account. What an insult to the people who took the time to try help him/her out! No doubt this poster will be back in a week or two asking the same questions, as if there's some fitness secret we're all keeping from him/her. Some people just don't want to help themselves.

Sorry, I had to let that out!

Tried gymnastics tonight. I think I did something to my neck It was sold as a 'beginners' class but everyone there could do cart wheels, summersaults etc., there wasn't much instruction, we were just given time to 'play'. An old guy who had been going there for years came over and thank god gave me some safety tips because the instructors were just standing around chatting. Well that's that ticked off the list next up Ju Jitsu and then Diving.

Scuba diving or jumping into water from a height diving? I'm guessing the latter given the context of the other two.

+1 for Jiu Jitsu. Beginners class is much more likely to be full of actually beginners too

Getting b1tch slapped by a swimming pool yes. Good because I've been to too many 'beginners' classes at this stage where they say to you in an alarmed voice 'So you haven't done this before?!' No, I haven't ****king done this before. This is the beginners class right? I didn't skip merrily into the advanced but pretending to be beginners for some reason class did I?! FFS.

Well, a guy walking into jiu jitsu with zero experience is a routine occurrence. Some be no funny looks there.
And funnily enough, even though it's the one where incapacitating your partner is the goal, you are much more likely to get hurt compared to water face slapping (diving) or mat face slapping (somersaults)

Bench program suggestions please

Mr. CooL ICE

You can pause bench 140kg, right? How long have you been around that and have you plateaued?

Haven't plateaued but the novelty of having a bench press means that there is a possibility that every day might become bench day so a bit of structure is needed.

My bench numbers at the moment are
Paused
100 x 12
110 x 8
115 x 6
120 x 5
125 x 4
130 x 3
135 x 1
137.5 x 1
140 x 1

So everytime I bench I will pick one of these targets and try to add a rep, and on days that I am in a rush or feeling meh I will pick an easy target such as 100 x 12 as I know I can get more reps, always nice to keep an easy PB close at hand.

I had a quick glance at one that has been put out by Omar Isuf and Silent Mike (kizentraining.com) and the 6-week free program seems like a reasonable set up and can be incorporated into your regular training cos it's 2 days per week starting at ~77% and finishing at 90% in week 6 on the heavier day with more volume on the lighter day.

Mr. CooL ICE

Or Smolov Jr. Regular Smolov seems built more for someone plateauing while Jr can be run in cycles.

FYI, I've never done either and am way off the point of even considering them for myself. Just throwing them out there.

IPF team standards are up. MAYBE I can hit regional standard by the end of next year!

Fair play.

I am never hitting them :pac:

Too right though I've no business being anywhere near national team standards!

My only thoughts from experience of Smolov Jnr is that it made bench the dominant focus of training for the 4 weeks rather than being able to sit in with it.

That said, I know people have run Smolov Jnr for bench and squat simultaneously so obviously they didn't find the same issue.

Yes, something nice and easy like 100x12.

Gonna create my own program, just need a good name.

Wombat Workout
Badger Bench Block
Otter Gainsz
Becoming a supple Badger?

Mr. CooL ICE

"Jjayoo don't even lift"

"100x12 is easy"

Caliden

You could try the 'Cowboy' method.

https://documents.tips/documents/the-juggernaut-cowboy-methodpdf.html

It's by Chad Wesley Smith and the bench section starts on page 11.
It's a 13 week program with 3 deloads in there if you need them. You test your 10/8/5/3/2 RM as the program progresses until the last week where you retest your 1RM.

You can add weight to your training max each week if you feel like your xRM test was easy.
It doesn't mention anything about accessory movements but you've already got a 140kg bench so I'd say you're good there.

JJayoo

Thanks for all the info will check these out. Thankfully the paused bench has a big cross over to my paused OHP.

It anyone has an FB account would they mind helping me out with a vote.

Found out today that the offices my company are moving to have a gym on site. Tried to find out more on the facilities but the guys viewing the office didn't check it out.

Here's hoping it's more than two sad treadmills and a crosstrainer!

I enjoyed smolov Jr for bench but I've never experienced soreness like it. Results were ok for me, bench from 107.5 to 112.5 at the time.
Ed Coan's peaking cycle is good too, but it's 13 weeks straight. Would be good if you time it right before a comp.

Anyone experience side effects taking Zma. I feel groggy, have a slight cough and kind of flu like symptoms but not quite.

It sounds like you're just getting a cold.

The most common side effect from taking ZMA (anecdotally) is mental dreams.
