Haha nice man, are you working towards anything in particular? I've weight trained for years, and I love it, but just wanted to take on a new challenge this summer.
Ah, that's too bad. You're in school tho right? Gotta save up for them semesters

i'd like to be able to bench press my body weight (~150lbs) but i'm only at 85 lbs at the moment. that's the bar with 20 lbs on either side.
before december i had never done any sort of weight training and i have a pretty sedentary lifestyle so i basically started from nothing.
bear in mind when i say 85 lbs, i mean like 5 sets of 5 or 3 sets of 8-12. i have no idea what my 1 rep max is because i go to the gym alone and don't have anyone to spot me.
MIKE's new tape is very muddy and kind of boring, I'm sure the lyrics are good but the production/vibe didn't grab my attention much.
It will come with time man, just keep working at it, it's just great to see that you're getting in there.
IMO, don't worry about the 1RM. 1RMs are overrated unless you're training for competition, and even then, there is far too much that can go wrong to make it worth it. Most people do 1RMs to train their egos, not their bodies. You don't gain anything meaningful for your physique or health outside of a boosted ego/confidence. Over my years of training I have seen so many people blow out shoulders and pecs doing 1RMs on bench (putting them out for weeks/months). You're not gonna make any progress sitting at home rehabbing injuries. I did strongman training for a while and have my fair share of injuries that I have to work around daily as a result. Bad knee, shoulder, back problems, you name it. If I could go back in time, I'd never bother with a 1RM again. The body is under a tremendous amount of stress during 1RMs and weak points WILL go, it's just a matter of time. No powerlifter or strongman competitor has escaped extreme strength training without significant injury at least once. It's an inherent part of the sport. Doing 5x5s are a far better way to train for strength and hypertrophy while avoiding injury. I used to alternate 5x5s with 4x10s every few weeks and saw great results. Think long term man, and take care of your body. Chronic and nagging injuries are hell.

Woody Allen, molested and married his step-daughter
Thanks for the advice! I know as long as I keep training consistently I will see gradual improvement. I still remember how hard it was to bench the bar in the beginning, and now it's so easy I could probably do it several dozen times in a row.

very into soccer (see: my avatar), so it's gonna be a summer occupied by the World Cup
Go Yankees
Also will probably still watch football, but I'll be cancelling my NFL ticket. They're not getting that money from me anymore

Has TESTING clicked with anyone yet
Not as good as ALLA but I've came around to many of the songs. Praise the Lord, Gunz n Butter are probably my favorites

Like with most things there is always a way to watch football.
Also fuck the Yankees
Small tidbit ppl here might vaguely be interested in:
for Santaria, Kanye sampled Drugs by Lil Kiim
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggG9sXSJ63g
which in turn samples Bumpys Lament:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8PN4v-Lud0
which is the main sample for Xxplosive, which Ye based most of his early drums on. interesting little full circle thing

After about 3 listens, it clicked with me. It's a good album, but LiveLoveASAP still reigns supreme
is Nav love a running gag or something? I've tried listening to him several times and I just don't see the hype. He's blessed with some great production but he's one of the most median in a bell curve rappers I've heard since Troy Ave.
At the mercy of a game where the culture's missing
When the CEO's blinded by the glow, it's different
Believe in myself and the Coles and Kendricks
Let the sock puppets play in their roles and gimmicks, shit
Remember Will Smith won the first Grammy?
And they ain't even recognize Hov until "Annie"
So I don't tap dance for the crackers and sing Mammy
'Cause I'm posed to juggle these flows and nose candy (YEUGGHHH)

One of the weirdest sex bars I've heard in Rap, this tops Kool Keith's catalog.
