You should look into getting a dip/pull up belt. I bet you could do it right now if you had one probably more than that. Not having to hold the weight with your knees allows you to redirect that saved energy and concentration to your pull. They are also great for strapping to a chain on a sled or something for pulling. I used mine to drag around my tire sled all the time. It's a cheap but awesome addition to a home gym.

Oh that is sexy! Mine is not that sexy or heavy duty, it is the softer woven fabric like a spudz dead lift belt material. I think I got it for like 24.99 at academy about 5-10 years ago, and that bad boy has gone all the way up to 4 plates for 3 reps on Dips!!!

If that is saddening, also consider that mine works better and only needs once a day administration too Honestly 4x a week is sufficient even, according to the ebook.

honestly it probably costs less in those dose sizes too, long term. I think mine is at around $25/month but if I take the amounts I should take orally it would be probably $50-75.

$120 for a 100ml jug of 500mg/ml, and I do 200/day. That’s 250 days in a jug and 48 cents/day. $15 a month.

Keep an eye on Swanson tabs for when they are on sale for 40% off. 6x500mg tabs a day is a lot more manageable at those prices.

Guess who just got 3 pairs of used 25lb bumpers from our friend’s gym?? $180 for 150lbs of bumper, in the size we wanted. Now we have 4 pairs of quarters for farmers or overhead pressing with the log and axles. I am not going to need more than 200lb of bumpers overhead
 
New equipment is always exciting !!

Score! You won’t need over 200 lbs….. yet….

Haha my best overhead is a 263lb log. So right now I can load our women’s log to 275 with the bumpers only and our friends 12” men’s log is here and that would be 330lbs. So I’m basically good for a hot minute lol

I do have a long-standing goal of pressing 300 overhead. I am not really working on that until after I bench 400, and maybe not until after I finish a couple other powerlifting goals in general, but that time will come if I have anything to say about it!

Very happy with the weight of the Pendlay Rows, and the strength of my bracing with them.

Heading out tomorrow with the fam for a little strongman show this Saturday; my wife has been getting her training partners ready for it and it will be 2 of the 3’s very first competition. So we’re going to coach & cheer them on, which should be a good time!

Wife is down to 158.8lbs today, 20 days from weighins and 18lbs to go Clen was bumped to 50mcg a few days ago and we added SNS Lean Edge a few days just before that, which has gotten the scale moving some. Cardio also increased 1.5 weeks ago, but with my wife’s work schedule there isn’t much time to add any more and calories can’t really drop much lower for performance considerations (~1,400). Plan is to start 50mcg T3 tomorrow morning and probably bump to 75mcg quickly, depending on what the scale does this week. She’s been recomping very well, but at this point we just need to shred about 10lbs of scale weight off of her, fat or muscle.
 
Have fun at the competition and good luck to your wife!
 
Looking great here! Hope you’re finally feeling 100%!

smart move
 
Sucks for you @Hyde, but hopefully you will recovery quickly. Not much more frustrating than giving it hell and just not being able to get traction or much pass the start line.
 
I appreciate all of the support! Just work and rest today, and I will either rest tomorrow or do a deload type session in the evening if I feel very good after work.

I need to remember to take my time just for my back health alone, so pacing things for the long game is imperative anyway.

Might be moving my training into a 10/20/Life Off-Season phase for a bit. It’s RPE-based so I can adjust the weights as I feel comfortable coming back to squats/pulls. I am toying with the idea of doing John Meadows/Dave Tate’s Unity powerbuilding program in a few weeks after vacation, but I am not sure I can commit to that kind of gym time and soreness right now. We’ll see!

Interested in your 10/20/L experience.

The Meadows/Tate unity PB program is also RPE based, and it’s surprisingly repetitive as far as the lifts go. It would make for a great hybrid program to advance those specific lifts.
 
Googles 10/20/life off season - AH, this would be perfect for training while injured. Although I don't know that I have ever done an RPE6 that wasn't considered a warm up set. Curious as well how it will treat you. Seems pretty low in both volume and intensity which is great for recovery, just wonder what kind of progress will be made with such low volume, frequency and intensity. I guess the regular deloads are probably a big portion of the progress since you get to decondition a bit every couple weeks. Similar to HST type of plan.

Brian addresses this in the book - this is just for the competitive lifts. And RPE will go up to 8.

You have to remember this isn’t a bodybuilding program. If you are doing a set of sissy squats, multiple sets of RPE 9 can be done weekly without much consequence besides some soreness. And certainly isolation movements can be handled this way. But going to even a single set of RPE9 on a competitive squat or deadlift can be so draining and damaging that it can not only be more than enough stimulus for progress, it can actually set your coming training back or even risk injury. So if you want to do multiple work sets in a session, it’s especially imperative you leave potential in the tank. I think that for something I can actually squat for 10 reps maximum, RPE10, I need to actually shut it down around 5-6 reps to get a solid training effect and still allow the ability to do all of the necessary accessory movements that build and address my foundation.

I was consistently finding when doing 5/3/1 again within the last year that I would have 2 good weeks of training and be feeling smashed up by the time I was entering week 3 - I was already ready for a deload. I think that it’s different when a lifter is either less experienced or weaker, but I have an entire decade of powerlifting under my belt at this point: the neurological recruitment and trauma I am able to potentially inflict on myself with the big lifts is so much greater than someone less qualified.

Even if you had a 20-year-old kid wayyyy stronger than me, he could push it to the limit all the time and probably get away with it fine. I remember lifting like that when I was that age, killing myself on 5x5 and the like. Because your wear and tear & neurological recruitment is so low. Even someone primarily bodybuilding won’t have the top end potential so they can handle heavier RPE if they occasionally do 5x5 or the like. Now, if I psyche up and bring myself to my maximum potential on a set of 10 reps in the squat, I will be on the floor afterwards and my heart rate will be elevated for over 20 minutes. Literally nothing else of consequence can be done in that session (or probably needs to, for that matter).

People always want to see more. They think they need to do X amount for optimal progress. Then what happens is they get on a program, do that for a while, then stop the program or get hurt, and total work comes down a lot anyway. It creates this illusion of doing so much for maximum ROI, but the net never ends up being better than just exactly what they can tolerate overall over the longterm.
 
Yeah that makes total sense. I realize I have a big tendency to push myself over the top, on things so something like this might be ideal. At least ideal for now. Plus I just looked at a quick review with a very basic sample layout so don't have access to all of the details. I may have to look into this as an option, and more to the point as a safety buffer for my love of intensity.

Imagine if I actually trained injury free for a year again. Yeah so much more progress and work could get done.

In the copies of the book/pdf I have, Wendler does sorta say this same thing. Even though he has lots of accessory options out there, he does more or less say walk in, kill yourself for 20 minutes, leave. I'm with you. If I'm truly training 5/3/1 at full capacity I'm smashed by week 3, and I haven't been able to carry more than 2 full cycles consistently without a reset.

Personally, I've grown to listen to my bodies natural pump. Glycogen stores resulting in a muscle pump in the gym for a mostly natty guy are gonna last what, 30-45 minutes? maybe 60 tops?

I knock out my 531, lately I have cut the big but boring 5x10 down to 3x10 but use that extra energy to super set it with something else or another accessory. But once I feel the pump fading, muscles getting flatter, glycogen depleting... I call it a day. move to LISS Or something.

I'm so used to absolutely trashing my body after 10 years of competing in xfit events that training for strength or BB feels honestly lazier, it's nice. its easier to make progress and less taxing.

Exactly. Many strength programs throw all the guns they can to ensure results, but that’s a short term reward. Look at the obsession with Smolov/Jr by less advanced lifters. That’s not how strong people train at all. It can definitely work in a context for a limited time, but it’s not longterm thinking and can’t function as a base philosophy.

He basically says it’s not a program, so much as programming philosophy. It’s a good read overall. I think it would resonate alright with folks who have read 5/3/1, because there are a lot of similar principles.

Wendler’s is a bit more aggressive & general so it works better for a bit wider audience, while Carroll is coming more from a greater focus on powerlifting. I would use 5/3/1 for programming athletes, but 10/20 Life for someone trying to improve their total or just generally stay injury free.

That’s CrossFit’s big draw though, isn’t it? Do stuff! Leave it all on the floor every time! You’ll never get better at anything beyond initial gains, but you won’t notice that because we scratch your training ADD itch! Shiny! Same as kids at the gym just maxing out on benchpress every day.

Top CrossFit athletes don’t train by doing WODs only - they do actual strength and skill work on top of WODs and other conditioning so they can actually progress their WOD times. Those athletes must have discipline, because that is what’s required to continue to progress.
 
Anyway, rested the last 2 days. Very little mucus hacked up today and it’s been on the decline. Pinned 200mg glutathione yesterday morning & today. Going to do a light deload session tonight, keep it fluffy, and another tomorrow morning, then rest thru the weekend to hopefully put the nail in this sickness coffin and get bloodwork Monday morning (16 weeks since blast).

It’s a great thing, getting barbells in people’s hands, exposing them to different lifts and exercises, a motivating way to exercise and have accountability to show up to compete against peers. BUT to get better at it eventually there has to be real training accompanying the general workouts. Matt Fraser didn’t snatch 315lbs without some side work!

AMEN!!!
 
Good stuff, let's go!
 
Looks like you’re back on the horse. Nice work. Hope the bloodwork turns out well.
 
Been off training the last 2 days, and because I needed the blood draw this morning & wife doubles on Mondays I won’t be able to train tonight, but that’s fine because I am still waking up hacking up a little bit of mucus. I pinned 450mg glutathione Saturday night & 600mg last night. Been doing 8g vitamin C daily along with 4x25mg zinc lozenges, 12,000iu D3, doubled my olive leaf extract, and generally gotten extra sleep last 2 days. Things are massively improved, so my sincere hope is that this cold is on its way out.

We fly out next Tuesday for America’s Strongest Woman, so I have this week to train properly followed by a full week of limited vacation training, but I plan to try to get a couple barbell sessions plus a fluff & buff in somewhere in Orlando & Jacksonville.
 
When I got into lifting, Ronnie Coleman quickly became my idol. I remember seeing him in the magazines, and then on YouTube lifting these insane weights like a wild man.

Folks love to criticize him because he is so busted up now, and had many botched surgeries, but you can see here in this video how happy, humble & grateful he remains about his entire life:

This was a tear-jerker, and why he remains a true hero. Faith, family, humility, & love of the game.

Like I said, it was definitely worth the cost for the read to me as someone who has had back issues and limited recovery in general, especially now with a baby.

Also, clearing EQ should be down to under 20mg/wk. Test has been at 120mg/wk. After bloods Monday, pinned 60mg test e (skipped my Sunday shot to show trough on bloods), then again today. Will pin 60mg again Friday & Sunday, then 120mg before leaving for a week on vacation. This will raise my 2 week average over these weeks to 180mg. When I return the plan will be to go to 240mg/wk.
 
It is always nice when people appreciate your help!
