Yeah my son text me this morning and said the little guy was still up at midnight because he was so fired up, but when his Mom woke him up for school, this morning, he jumped right up and couldn’t...
Kinda wild you guys mention the emotional side. I remember first time I squatted 300lbs again after my back injury, it took like 2 years of rebuilding. I had to go take a walk in the parking lot...
Thanks….That really is a good idea to do a few minutes of stationary bike before my stretches and warmups. Ha, I actually do body weight squats as part of my leg day warmups. And yeah being able...
That logic checks out with me! Just get them good and warm before that forced stretch. Maybe some stationary cycling then BW squats to tolerance or what have you.

makes sense, I think I had the fortunate circumstance to learn front squats when I was a bit smaller and learning oly from scratch, ironically I've tried the cross arm a number of times over the...
I’ve never been able to get in that position even when my left elbow could bend properly truthfully. I don’t think I even tried frontsquats until I was already built up to 190+lbs. Now I just...
heavy 3x8 front squats are puke inducing heart attacks. its good to see that the front squats are treating you well! I think they are my favorite variety tbh, but I do take them in a clean...
That's a serious session. Really seems like things are trending up all around. The performance 4 months from now at a lighter bodyweight is gonna be fucking incredible to see.
Yep, 16 weeks from last Sunday. It’s close enough I can probably start a blast whenever, but since I need to lose weight I’ll have to be easier on the anabolics. Primarily just trying to leverage...
It certainly seems like you're in the sweet spot right now with solid balance. You said about 4 months till the meet? I know it will sneak up but sure seems like a great place to be, to be able to...
you could do a lot worse than moving slightly less weight for a few days!
I've avoided 531 for a long time cause with AMRAPS, Jokers, BBB etc I would run myself into the absolute ground and those...
Yeah it’s doing fine honestly; it hasn’t been hurt since ‘24. Just feels bad sometimes, which can make me shift into bad compensatory patterns if I’m not careful that could get me actually injured...
It's been a while but I'm glad to see you still getting after it. I hope that knee is holding up and from reading sounds like it may be feeling better.
I ate more calories than I wanted to overall yesterday, but did get to enjoy some great food & family time. Plus my wife and MIL had a great Mother’s Day, so it was all a win. I did still make...
