Just saw the pull on IG. That **** was pristine dude. Great work...whatever your cues were today or have been leading up to this stick with those.

Shît*** - forgot you can say **** on this forum but not ****. Oh! Apparently you cant say fûck anymore either!
 
Watched you deads a ton to try and figure out why my form is sucking so much and can see a couple areas I definitely need to work on. Thanks for posting them!!!

Wasps live inside my squat stand, apparently, and stung the **** out of me during the CAT sets so I drove to the commercial gym to finish the sets.

**** wasps.
 
Bro I got in my shed yesterday and suddenly about 8 wasps had taken up and built a big comb right over the door! Came back with wasp spray and buried those cock-a-roaches 🤬

You’re going over 300 Sean, no doubt!

Fuckers stung my eyelid, eyebrow, and flew down my shirt while I had 235 on my chest lmfao
 
I backed out of the meet. I only have a month to go but I'm currently in my hardest course in my degree program and am juggling a lot of life stress at the moment and need to consolidate my focus. Peaking and the emotional investment I place in it isn't a part of that focus.

This log is old as **** and I'm pretty sentimental towards it because it's shown a lot of my growth. I looked back the other day and saw my meet post in here when I squatted my first world record less than 3 weeks after my 2nd kid was born. That's pretty cool I think.

I don't foresee myself competing anytime soon since I graduate this Spring and after that, my focus will be on studying for the NCLEX and gaining employment. I'm going to follow John Meadow's training for the foreseeable future and likely won't log it on the forum.

If I decide to compete again, then I'll bump this thread back. Other than that, I'll still be in the threads.

I'll probably YOLO deadlift on Friday and I'll update yall then. I don't anticipate a squat or bench PR without a peak so I'm not even going to bother.
 
You better update us if you set a dead PR ya dik. Nice squat dude.
 
Thought I'd share my recent training block. Meadows inspired.

Eating inuitively and high protein. This has been the healthiest my eating habits have been. No obsessive weighing of food and no binging. I just eat like an adult 4-5 times a day. Finally able to eat and indulge in moderation without psychological mindfuckness. I've been maintaining weight at 200-205. I'm bathing in Apex Alchemy Ursa Major.

Friday

Def. SLDL- top set of 4-6, reverse pyramid

Chins- 4 sets, increase total reps
Barbell row- 4 sets increase weight
Seated DB OHP- 3 sets increase reps
Rear delt movement- 4 sets, 20ish reps
2 bi & 1 tri movement

Quad emphasis lower, back emphasis upper, hip emphasis lower, chest emphasis upper.

Sometimes I did my arms as a second session on the upper days at home before dinner.

Abs at home 3 times a week. Hanging leg raises and ab wheel.

MIT cardio 3x weekly, 20-30min on the stationary at 130bpm.

Average 10-12k steps. When steps are below 10k, I sit in the stationary back and study and peddle low intensity.

I didn't increase total sets until I needed to on certain chosen movements, and that wasn't until the 3rd week normally out of a 4 week block.

Some exercises I increased reps with the same weight. Others I increased weight and allowed reps to taper. My RPE intensities were generally 7, 7, 8, 9 each respective week.

Some movements I didn't bother tracking. I just did something high rep or high intensity.

The blocks before this recent one were similar, I just changed up the exercises.

My bench has climbed finally. I hit 250x8 on my recent 531 week. I'm on week 4 of this block finishing up and hit the 585x3 squat and plan on trying to triple 265x3 on bench.

This winter I intend on going through an enhanced bulk and truelly add size. I'll relieve myself from wanting to do heavy triples and really try to drive heavy reps up on my primary meat & potato movements

After that bulk, I'll be done with nursing school then I'll figure training out from there.

And most importantly.....the snickers??? Or did you just place the order yesterday?

They look like something I will be addicted too fa sho
 
Ohhhh **** man...very intrigued to hear more about this bulk. The size you put on is going to be obvious with how lean you are right now. Youre truly in an awesome place to add some quality tissue.

I highly doubt you wont do heavy triples, but we’ll see .

Awesome to hear the bench is finally climbing after the frustration youve had with that lift. Keep us posted on that 265 trip.
