As long as "strength loss" is mostly due to changes in leverage and not actual muscle tissue loss things should be good, and set you up for a serious rebound. :) -
The prospect of losing 25lbs is intimidating! I know I can do it, but what it will do to my strength I’m not sure. I know I can get it back regardless eventually though, so I’ll need to remember...

too bad we don't know exact lean mass then vs now from like a dexa etc. I would suspect 220 is going to be larger this time, you've had lots of time to build since then. I mean I'm considerably...
-
Yeah, I think you will be a different beast at 220 this time. You have definitely added some muscle tissue in the last couple of years.
-
I think so. After Easter’s high squat volume (with low %) the strained area was a bit sore the next day, but now a week later and doing almost no volume it does not seem to be. So absolute load...

Some good training going on in here. hate to hear about the elbow, but we already know this is a constant battle for you, and one you will persevere through. I for one am definitely interested...

Great workout….good heavy day on Squats and Deadlifts, and then capped the day off with some Devotions….you’re a Beast.💪😎

Well I wouldn’t necessarily get on TRT unless you really want to be, if that makes sense. I mean, if you stop coming off and recovering your natural production, you will likely destroy it within a...

What's the root cause of it, you think? Should too bound up which forces a bunch of pressure on the bicep tendon? Or just pure overuse?

Will be doing the same post-vacation (sometime in June, probably) to prep for a cycle. If my T is low (it had dropped a ton since my last test when I did my annuals in Feb this year, but a lot of...

Ordered bloodwork for next Thursday. With needing to donate blood the Monday before the last meet & then cutting weight, I didn’t have time to pull them final week of blast like I prefer to (to...

I'm out here inspiring everyone to get lean this year. Love to see it.

I want to bulk, but I've been in limbo for weeks lol

losing size is such a mind F. I think I'm on my 4th or 5th cut in the last 4 years of cycling up and down and this is the first time that I feel pretty good in the smaller version of me. I would...

Been thinking about where I need to take things next with diet, supplementation, and goals. With the recent quad pull, I don’t really want to crank the weights too soon on squatting, so I am not...

I actually have no idea if he was. He is a trained service dog, and I got him when he was like 4.

Well, I guess it’s 3:1 here so maybe it’s just my perception, but his comment did surprise me. I do have a lot of brawn, but usually I just get asked if I play football by old people! He’s very...

Mine's pretty awesome.

nothing drives me more than trying to impress momma bear, tbh. -

Yes, the improvements have been life changing. As I believe most of us try to do, I have played down the effect this has had on me just in general life. I think in some ways I even lost track of...

I need to weigh myself, I haven't since I got back from Dallas. Over the weekend I had a couple big meals with the family, so I hope no regression but I I think I might have simply maintained in...

Not sure why I haven’t seen notifications for this thread’s updates this last week, but looks like it’s been great for your forward momentum. I’m really happy to hear you’ve been able to...

lots of core engagement too, I was totally accidentally sitting here squeezing my abs as I was reading that post and thinking about the goblet squat lol. 😂

I think so, and the bar felt about the same effort level as the 25lb DB. I think since it worked well for me yesterday, I may start out with the DB, then move to a true front squat. Let the DB...

thats awesome that you are seeing progress. I always felt goblet squats were about twice as hard as a front squat. meaning that a 70lb kettlebell in that goblet position felt similar to trying to...
