Once you get used to your toes not being squished by regular shoes, you won’t be able to stand anything with a traditional toebox for day to day!
I was thinking about grabbing a pair of Prio...
When it comes to running in a flat shoe you really have to learn the right foot strike or your feet and ankles will suffer from the pounding. It needs to be a mid-forefront foot strike or you and...

Man that is so awesome, and such a huge accomplishment. Some PRs are just bigger and more important, and that was one of them….age is just a number bro. And I love your narration of that set. I...
Dude way to break that 11 year PR ! It’s so crazy to me how in the days that can seem like the worst can crank out the best training days, just freaking wild.
Have a great dinner with your boy...
Something about getting into your late 30s or 40s that makes you feel incredibly good when you can hit PRs. Something about defying aging while most of the humans in the country are sitting around...
I put a lot of stock in rep PRs. They give you something powerful to drive your training, something that gets you fired up to reach for more. If you are doing things you have never done, you are...
That one has my heart all twisted up in knots still. What a weird thing to be so hung up on, "reps" but I walked in feeling like garbage. Ended up going 5lbs heavier than programmed, and when I...
I'm 99.9% sure that 405 x 6 was a 2015 PR. So that's an 11 year old accomplishment I just beat.
It doesn't mean my 1rm is bigger or that I'm stronger than the guy next to me, but breaking my own...

Not since starting this 5/3/1 cycle. So far it's been Machine Chest Presses, JM Presses, and now Floor Presses. So I'll probably be using some combo of those, just depending on how I'm feeling...
Those are good shoes; several people at the gym use them because they’re so affordable for how good they are.
And the name is misleading - they wanted people to know they won’t slip on sumo work...
Oh, I mean, like I hardly did any work - essentially like a warm up for actual benching. But I guess that's the point, isn't it? Keep the motion, cut back to a weight that realistically isn’t...
Yesterday was a cardio morning. Fitbit didn't record right, but believe it was close to 30 mins give or take. Also got in a late afternoon walk around our neighborhood, 15 mins and ~1600 steps...
