IDK sounds like your new goal has been unlocked!
I hear you on the touch and go. When I gave Cube a try after seeing Hyde's success on it I was doing a lot more pause work. My best bench raw is...
This is the state bench record in the USA Powerlifting database. It’s 341.7 lbs . He also set the total record. I really couldn’t do the squat or deadlift, but that bench possibly looks reachable...
I appreciate that Dustin….yeah any kind of curls or rows are still in my wheelhouse. Back 20 to 25 years ago I was a lot stronger and I won’t even tell you what I did on concentration curls back...
Maybe its just me but again, this seems really impressive to me. Those barbell curls at 105+ are heavy weights and I know if fresh and surrounded by yoga pants I can do that, but never in my life...
I’m the same way…I like her to use the grill, and she knows it, especially if it’s Bison burgers or steaks. Truthfully I usually only grill on the weekends, because I’m just too tired during the...
Haha, now I love to grill or cue it up, but if my wife cooked on my stuff I would just be happy to be getting fed. :) I do know some men that would have a conniption fit. Like it would hurt their...

Yeah 250 is most I’d consider, especially since you haven’t even taken it right now and aren’t really in a position to do so safely yet. So I’d say you have the right idea.
Oh yeah, I probably figured my max a little lower than what it is, but I thought 275 for my max, so 90% is 247.5 which is what I’ll start my percentages with. It looked low, but like you said I...
Friendly reminder that the training max in 5/3/1 should be set LOWER than you can actually max out at. It’s just a value to help generate weights, so when in doubt choose a lower TM. You can...
Sounds like a fun plan, and i agree on the legs. I want them to be decent but I don't need them to be massive anymore. Just relatively strong, and capable.

an extra 20lbs on my frame is an amazing improvement in structural integrity. its like going from a boosted 4 cylinder that redlines the tack at 9000 to a big block that redlines with more torque...
Yeah, I think it just comes down to you not allowing yourself to get very fluffy at all. Once the belly isn't fitting as easily through the thighs it becomes a positioning issue.
at least it was +10lbs and not -10lbs 😂
after all these years the three things I struggle with the most in the gym is 15lb plates, 35lb plates, and 55lb anything.
Man I know….you wouldn’t think that unexpected 10 lbs would have done something, but yeah I guess my back noticed and was trying to let me know. But it is crazy, we lift all this weight and for...

Appreciate it guys…. I was happy to get it done unscathed. I have had a few injuries since injuring that shoulder, so it feels good to hit that 230 and the shoulders still feel good. As soon as...
Yeah I agree with Kleen….it definitely looks like you lost more than 2% bodyfat, and your abs are starting to show a little. Great job, and I hope you guys have a blast.
totally agree. I don't put any weight (haha, punny) into the extra stats I get from my renpho, but I do still look at them as a goal or target to try to beat/manipulate for fun.
solid...
Agree on the readings not being "real". I use them as a reference though for trends. I think I might do a DEXA at some point just for fun to see how off it really is. @Jimbabwe 's log made me want...
