Well being that I’m usually 270 in training hydrated & clothed it’s about as bad as it sounds. Honestly I run out of oxygen more than power around 8 reps. I do them fairly strict except the last rep (once I can’t reach normal chin height the set is usually ended).
I'd say8 reps at 260-270 is pretty damn good
Ester half-lives.
Great post! I would have figured a guy would want as much carryover as possible post meet as their will be some serious recovery needed and it would help. Makes sense though.
If you are cruising and can stand the extra time with bad bloodwork it’s not a big deal. But you could always switch to fast esters the last week or two, or add in orals. And you really don’t need recovery post meet because that is the time you are most vulnerable to injuries - you shouldn’t be going right back into training without at least a week off real work.
For sure. I meant the added test to aid recovery from the meet specifically. After a heavy sbd day a guy better be nice to himself for a good while at least lol.
Right, but that’s actually not ideal or necessary is what I mean - the time off alone will handle muscle recovery, and extra testosterone in supraphysiological doses actually works against joint health/recovery. The best thing you could do would be to consume a protein-rich lower carb diet with plenty of antioxidants in conjunction with light exercise to lower inflammation and let muscles recover, maybe adding some things for cortisol & inflammation reduction like phosphatidylserine and curcumin.
Good question. I don’t know. I need to come off and improve my health. I want to lean out some as well as do some more general strength training for a bit; kinda retool my base and bring up some things I’ve been neglecting. Some higher volume lighter hypertrophy work, grip, light event work focusing on conditioning and movement perhaps like we were doing before we went to Norway. I wouldn’t be opposed to a local strongman show without much prep, but COVID19 likely will mess up a lot of things still for a while to come.
Sounds like very attainable goals! 400 bench is right around the corner for you.
You don’t even know. Literally nothing I am consuming isn’t processed, but if you have never experienced how orals crush appetite it’s like how when you’re sick - you don’t even want to drink.Get those chicken shakes going!
That sounds miserable. Kill it tomorrow dude. You’re more than prepared, now just go execute.
Awesome dude!!!! Congratulations!
Thanks Benny! Felt really good to break the 600 barrier on squats and 1600 on total! I think 727kg.
That's awesome! my all time gym bests only total 1293. And that's not all at the same time either. I got some work to do I guess

Yeah doing it in the gym in your ideal setting/timing/music people around you (or alone if you hate pressure) is very different from putting up a total in the same day in less than ideal conditions like sharing different warmup equipment than what your attempts will be on, being told exactly when to lift, no control over temperatures, being in front of a crowd, lifting to commands and being judged is a big one.
Definitely a new adventure. Feels like I did a full strongman event day yesterday! And this is supposed to be a recovery microcycle lol. Next thing to happen this week is buying a mower and cutting grass for the first time since I was probably 13. Should be good mandatory light cardio at least.
