I'm seeing good carryover in the cardio I've been doing the past couple months over to my lifting capacity. running a 10x3 on those banded squats didn't wind me or get me worn out like it would have on bench 6 months ago. I'm sure your body will react well! When I go a while without cardio it's the weirdest thing but I find myself craving it. Just feels good, like it cleans out the system.

I actually also find that the DMHA/DMAA type stims always help clear the nasal passages as well. Probably needed that extra boost after some late nights with the kiddos! Man I remember those times. Good on ya for keeping after it.

Me and the little guy been up since 4 am we sat and had coffee and a bottle. Once it was light enough we got more coffee and hitched up the stroller. Went for a nice 2 mile walk and watched the sun greeting the day.

I like my rest days to be intentional rest days. yeah we gotta listen to the body but being mindful of training and mindful of rest for me, has a greater impact and is more enjoyable I think. like... yeah I have subpar lifting days, but I if I'm not facing injury or something I like to accumulate that output on my training days so that when I have a legit rest day, it's a legit planned, intentional, mindful rest day.... IDK if that fully makes sense.

but we've all said it before... sometimes it seems like 90% of the days are that rough grind built on discipline that get you to the 10% or less days that are absolutely phenomenal PR setting knock out sessions.

I understand these feelings but also, you all may need a mindset shift. A day of training on a day you shouldn't be is detrimental to your entire program. Hence why you see @Hyde call it on things rather than pushing through on those types of days. Certainly a scheduled day of rest tends to be more enjoyable because it is a day of rest you have earned and is part of your program. However, if you are working hard enough to need rest before your planned rest day then you are not likely recovering as well as you need to be for how hard you are working. So a light day, or a day off in that situation is the best case scenario. As you become intermediate and advanced you need to get better at autoregulation because recovery just gets harder and harder. So don't beat yourself up over an unplanned rest day, rest on that day with intention and think how much better your training will be tomorrow when you pick it back up.

The truth is and always has been that you can productively train as much as you can recover from. If you can’t keep up, you need to adjust training frequency/intensity/volume or find a way to improve recovery. All of those things will have practical limitations to what makes sense or should be pushed.

You can only make so much use of food, afford to sleep so many hours, do so many things to improve sleep hygiene, tweak diet so much, take so many supplements or drugs for a variety of reasons. And you can only train so little or often or for X duration or total volume, so half of it is going to take care of itself weighed against other priorities.

But in simplest terms, if you find yourself in a place where you don’t have it today, all the potential tweaking in the future doesn’t change the fact you are in fatigue debt now. It’s up to you to look at the big picture of your training to decide if you struggle on today & dig a deeper hole or fall back for another day.
 
I know Bromley says to add deloads in as necessary, plain and simple. He writes the program and expects the user to auto regulate that entirely, because it’s extremely individual. New father of middle-age with a career and commute is not Johnny-College-Student taking a partial load of classes and sleeping until 11am.

I love this discussion. IMO, there is an entire philosophical discussion in this very simple topic. I can't summarize all the thoughts in my head briefly.

This is that fine line that separates an athlete who understands their body vs someone trying to get into shape, as well (IMO). The lesser student may fall into a trap of rest days, mental health days, recovery days. A day becomes two days. Next time its a week. then they're 45yrs old with half their lean mass, an extra 90lbs around their gut, wondering what happened 😅 The experienced athlete says "live to fight another day", shows up the next day and kills it.

I think this again says the same thing. does that athlete skip today because the of the mind... or the body?... knowing that fine line between "I should, but I don't want to" and "I really shouldn't today" can be tough for a lot of people!

I think we have all at times been guilty of digging too deep at times, or not deep enough on others. it can be a hard balance...

Agreed, but the difference here is one is using excuses, and the others have made an intelligent decision based on solid reasoning. When the goal is truly more important than comfort it isn't that hard to figure out. You honestly feel truly guilty if you even think you are pussing out rather than making a decision based on if you are recovered enough to train.

I am not always as disciplined as I have been the last 2.5 years, and it has only grown as the goal has become closer and closer. However, you have to have a solid goal you are committed to in order to work and stick to doing what is right for long periods of time. So the biggest thing is actually setting a goal that means something to you. The most consistent and disciplined people are going to be the ones who are earnestly working towards a goal they value highly.

Yeah, I mean unless it is completely obvious you need a rest day at least put hands on the bar and see if things wake up. Some of my best sessions start out in a funk too. I believe that is probably pretty universal for regular lifters.

Yes, this is an important one - be committed to the process. I may not try to lift things if I know it’s not going to be there or unnecessarily risky or fatiguing, but that NEVER means just go home if I already went in. I came to train, and no matter how much I may not want to that doesn’t get me out of doing SOMETHING that serves the goal in some fashion.

Always warm up as much as possible before deciding to bail (unless that’s continually increasing pain) and do something for basic exercise/mobility/bloodflow if you have to abandon the original plan. Or train something else that will ultimately help your goal without inhibiting the next planned training.

You can almost always benefit from some extra cardio, or abs, or prehab/mashing, or rowing, etc.

I am not talking about not going in at all on scheduled days. I very, very rarely skip entirely anymore, because then it weakens your discipline to just sleep in the next time you’re also especially tired. News flash: you will often feel tired when still trying to get up in the morning. Down some caffeine, put your big boy pants on and go to the damn gym.

Or don’t. It’s your results & goals at stake, not mine lol.

That was Infinite Brain, although when the owner of Psycho Pharma called to apologize and discuss it I believe he stated the same for Edge (I’m sure all the Y is problematic in some places).

Standup company that stands behind their products and sent me a free replacement from the old batch since Amazon didn’t have the current formula listed yet when I’d ordered. I support them

Talk about sweat session, according to my Apple Watch this had the ol ticker a ticking along 😂

felt really good, sumo I have great leverage definitely could out pull doing sumo compared to conventional. Just not super smooth with the process of it yet. Also hips seemed a little tight during it, but overall just great session.
Was definitely fried for the row so weight was light and just practice really good form and slowed it down.
 
wake up time 4 am
Cup of coffee and 1 scoop edge of insanity

gym time 5 am -6:15 am

week 11 day 1
Bench (85%)
195lbs x3 x3 x5 (last set was a + set, I had at least 2 more in me but some dude trying to load his bench or some **** hit the bar with his hip when I was coming up and I just racked it)

pause bench
175lbs x5 x5
155lbs x5 x5

floor press
175lbs x5 x5
155lbs x5 x5

lat pull down v grip
135lbs x9 x9 x9 x9

Kroc row
70lbs x9 x9 x9 x9

hammer curl DB
30lbs x9 x9 x9 x9

started losing power on pause bench, more then likely it is from not a lot of deep sleep. Also the whole bench thing got me messed up. The dude was super apologizing, I get it he didn’t mean to but like I told him **** man couldn’t you have just waited like 15 seconds.

Anyways happy with my strength, stamina fell off today but overall still a good session!
 
Sounds like another good session even w the sleep deprivation. Bench is progressing nicely!!!
Maybe the guy who bumped your bar is friends w the a**hole that hit Kleen w the basketball? 🤣🤷‍♂️

Oh man I got a 2 samples of this a while back and it is definitely going on my list of Pre's to pick up a tub of soon. Great stuff. bery fcused and the energy was perfectly wonderful. Plenty of energy but no zipping around feeling just great unadulterated and focused energy for the entire session with no crash at all. VERY NICE PRE!!!!

That was Infinite Brain, although when the owner of Psycho Pharma called to apologize and discuss it I believe he stated the same for Edge (I’m sure all the Y is problematic in some places).

Standup company that stands behind their products and sent me a free replacement from the old batch since Amazon didn’t have the current formula listed yet when I’d ordered. I support them

Yeah after trying them they have my support. I have Edge of intensity or something else they have I need to try, it comes in capsules but i don't remember the exact name. Looking forward to giving it a shot. I think that one is more focus intensive from reading the sample packet.

First off I snapped a pick of my shoulders after the gym this morning, I am flexing but man they are looking a lot better then they ever have.

Definite improvements. Also to get the caps to pop instead of raising the arms pop out the lats, and then press the triceps into the lats and they will cap out a bit more.

Sounds like SUMO may end up being your bread and butter move for the most weight once you get the form down. Those hips will loosen up a lot with doing these more often, that is not a natural lifting position for the hips so it will take a little time of doing them for the hips to open up more, which will also make you much more efficient at doing them.

Right, @akboom87 maybe it's time we set up a tag team match and teach these guys a lesson! Cage match to death or submission whichever comes first!
