I hate that feeling after a great workout and then playing some basketball 10-15 mins later. My arms are usually just dead

-Sorry I didn't mean you shouldn't deadlift, I meant you shouldn't rely on it has a primary exercise to train to lower back.
-Deadlifts are effective and strengthen the entire back, upper and lower. So by all mean use it, I believe all most everyone that can deadlift, should use some form of deadlift.
-What I was trying to say though, that you need to worry more about your back being heavy enough to handle heavy deads, as oppose to worrying about if heavy deads are making your back strong. When the weight gets heavy it is only natural to compromise form to get the bar up, your back need to be ready for when that time comes
-Since the deadlift has a lot more nuances than people realize, unless someone's form is impeccable, their back will be at some risk. And a lot of dudes get hurt lowering the weight as opposed to lifting it because the round their back lowering the weight. Another time when a strong lower back might be the difference between injury or harmless careless mistake
-The assistance work (along with perfecting your form) will protect you from snapping yo **** up when the weight gets big. And since you won't be able to train heay deads frequently you will rely on assistance work more to make progress
-Reverse hypers are idiot proof, back extensions a good because you can progress on them nicely, and Romanian Deads if you can hip hinge correctly

this thread man... Can't have it go more than X amount of pages before we get double the amount in pages of back and forth than the last time

On chest days, I do:
Bench: 4-5 working sets
Incline Bench: 3-4 sets
Dumbell Presses(sometimes flat, sometimes incline): 3 sets
Dumbell Flys: 3 Sets
Decline Machine Presses: 3 Sets
Sometimes I do cable flys instead of dumbless flys, or do machine flys. I feel SPENT after bench presses, but just push myself. I feel great after and my recovery is 3 days.
Back days:
Pull ups as warm up.
Barbell Rows: 4-5 working sets
Pulldowns: 3-4 sets
Close grip pulldown: 3-4 sets (usually 3)
T-Bar machine/makeshift t-bar with barbell: 3-4 sets (usually 3)
Chainsaws: 3 Sets
Bicep Curls Superset into another curl (lay on incline bench on stomach and do curls): 3 sets
If im feeling it ill usually do another bicep workout, today we did...dont know what its called actually but instead of spending the energy bringing the ez curl bar up, I took 4-6 seconds to lower it slowly,then had a spot help me bring it up. Repeat. Felt great.
Legs:
Squats: 4-5 Sets
Leg Press: 4-5 Sets
Lunges: 3 sets, 20 steps
Shoulders/Tri (usually a 2 day combined with chest):
Shoulder press (barbell): 4-5 sets
Dumbell press: 3-4 sets
Flys: 3 sets
Front flys: 3 sets
Rope pulldowns: 3 sets
Kickbacks: 3 sets
Everything is usually 6-10 reps. Never go for 4 except the military presses and bench press. Its working for me and my friend, have seen gains and not overly tired. We rest 3 days a muscle group and were up and at it again.
Is overworking relative to the person?
EDIT
Copped the Cellucor Super HD and CLK. Heard great things about this product. Cant wait to try it out. Dont know if I should cut the creatine out now though...

i think the thing about not going on a super low calorie diet applies more to non-fatties as to reduce muscle catabolism and still burn fat

lol i've never even tried. maybe when i drop a little more tonnage and up my pull-ups i'll start trying to give it a shot. at this point i'd probably hurt something. battling a strain in my elbow right now. sharp pain when i do certain presses like flat barbell bench. the onset came one day when i was doing dips
i know that feel...
my weakness is right shoulder, it really limits me...but im getting my pullups up there
i was talkin bout the video iLLest promised us of him bussin out 5 muscleups or something like that...lulz
making it look easyyy....
maybe because theyre cheating????
theyre swinging like crazy and using their momentum
its still not easy, but once you start using momentum, all exercises become easier than just isolated use of whatever muscle

Good **** man. How long will it take for the skin to go back to normal? I know when you lose a lot of weight quickly, the stretched out skin is

Thanks man, always appreciated. No clue how long it would take, but I'm hoping a good amount of time with this Keto will help. I want visible abs. Crazy how goals and (relatively) small battles change/ evolve over time

Just curious, but how tall are you? No hate or anything, genuinely curious.

Found this website on ply through BB and was thinking about trying out this routine. Is this a good place to start for plyometrics? Already lift regularly and just wanna get more hops really.

I can only speak from my own experience, but I did notice a good amount of bloat disappear after week one. Friday began week 4, and I do notice a substantial improvement of alertness, and overall feeling refreshed throughout the day.
I know that feel.

I know you know your transformation is amazing, but it really is, more than you think. Great job bruh, if this doesn't inspire some these other cats I dunno what will. How bad do you want it?
