Honestly nothing will really change in layout. There’s just a countdown & definite finish line that drives daily decisions in training execution. Usually to push a little harder, take the extra... -
When you are in full training mode when you get back from nationals, what will your split look like? this is awesome, love that drive and commitment! 14lbs in 14 weeks, you reckon you probably...

I preferred canned corn instead of peas like my grandparents taught my dad, and I was the family cook once I was 10 years old, so I referred to it as “Corn Shingle” since I had little sisters...

I don’t remember the cheese, I do remember the butter in the huge tin cans. Are meal was the left over bread that was borderline stale, then brown some meat in a white gravy and break of the...

Right, I only had 2 new bikes in my childhood, but I built probably 10 by going to the junk piles pulling parts off of other bikes and building them. I have built several Frankenstein style bikes...

It’s pretty wild how much the vintage bikes are worth now. I could almost guarantee you that we all had bikes back in the day that are worth way more today. In 1979 I had one of the Supergoose BMX...

Yeah, I have a hybrid bike, I now wish I had got myself a decent mountain bike to ride trails more. Haha I used to have one like that, but it had the Banana Seat BABY!!!! One year for Christmas I...

That’s awesome, and you got good height on that jump. My best friend was big in BMX when we were teenagers. He actually was sponsored by Redline and won more races than I could tell you, but he...

Just forgive the Mark McGrath bleached hair, it was the 90s, but thats my grip in my hand and blood on my face, this was the day I decided to start wearing my helmet lol. we didn't know how...

Yeah, I really enjoy getting out there on the bike with the boy. We actually get pretty aggressive when we go mountain biking on the trails. Ha, he tries to keep up with old Paw Paw. Of course...

Hammer Strength just really seems to have ROM dialed, much better than some other machines, and that's a smokin' good deal on it!
-
I can't wait until I trust my lower back enough to ride my bike again. I think if i raised the handlebars I could probably ride it more now, but with the flat bar on there it just has me leaning...
-
Thanks Yeah, I’m excited to get the new equipment in but especially that shoulder press machine. And like you said it can help spare the shoulder joints. It just seems like all the plate loaded...
-
Nice session way to squeeze in some leg work. When I looked at first I thought, Hmmm that seems out of place.
-
HS shoulder press will be a nice addition! I find that more neutral grip on a lot of exercises for me these days just feels better on the shoulder joints.
-
Whew some great sessions man!

thats great advice, and its not even that humbling, its just honest driven adaptation. Goals should be measurable and attainable. There is no reason to set the bar and something we did 20 years...

That is very good, and I’ve gradually started getting that mindset. Because I don’t want to be the older guy that says “yeah I used to do…”, but be the one doing things impressive for my age...

Clint Darden said his coach advised he reset his PRs every decade. This reframes expectations more deliberately, so you can make smarter choices to enjoy your strength training & health instead of...

Yep, exactly…. I had benched 235 for 6 and last month on my third week I had put 235 on for the one rep and got 5 with about a 2-3 RIR, but that’s the most weight I’ve put on for bench since 2024...
-
isn't 230 x 10 about the highest 10 rep you had taken in the last few months? so with the 531 applied at this point whatever you accomplish from here is new territory for the year?

While last night I racked up good total hours of sleep, it wasn't entirely restful since my son isn't feeling well. He woke up early this AM and I had to give him some medicine and sit with him...

are you currently doing anything dedicated to rehabbing the low back right now or is it more of a rest and see approach at the moment? aside from the obvious stress aspect, low back is so funny...
