It's a good time, man. Then again, so is going heavy lol.

Having fun, upping my work capacity, hopefully building some muscle, and hittin' rep PRs.

I think I love training more then peaking and competing at this point.

 

[liftandswim]

I think I love training more then peaking and competing at this point.

I've always been that way. Throughout my youth too (sports, not lifting obviously).

Training, pushing myself physically, is a way of life for me at this point.

[liftandswim]

Lol thanks, homie. Wish deads were as easy as squats for me though

 

[liftandswim]

When u step into the gym

I will say the amount of broscience I hear has went up drastically. It's bad

 

[Duramaxhd]

It's everywhere man I even getting a bit with the crew.

 

[liftandswim]

It's everywhere man I even getting a bit with the crew.

Oh, I know it. I took a trip to the only PL gym in cleveland. Half squats everywhere. Broscience at every turn. Never going back.

It doesn't bother me, but when people tell me I should be doing XYZ it's annoying.

 

[bolt10]

Lol thanks, homie. Wish deads were as easy as squats for me though

They'll come around, trust me. This coming from a guy who couldn't figure out deadlifts for years haha, they are finally getting better and consistent.

Normally I'd tell everyone here to get to the nearest powerlifting crew, but I'm pretty sure I know the crew you're referring to, and you're absolutely right. Notorious for it.
