My condolences for your family member. It’s never easy, and always sobering.
I wasn’t sure if you were doing the core stuff on the mornings you do cardio or on weekends etc when you don’t lift...
Sorry to hear about the death in the family, thats never easy-
I wouldn't be surprised if Jay was still lifting 7 days a week. I know he's still very enhanced, despite not being at competition...
Good info. Since I don't take days off though... [emoji38] on a side note, I heard Jay Cutler mention he still works out 7 days a week. Crazy!
Did end up going for another pre-dinner walk with...
So to be clear, the dead bug is basically a regressed form of bird dog. This makes it more ideal on off-days because you just roll onto your back and knock a few reps out, or for a short time...

I'll have to try adding in dead bugs. My full warm up routine currently is,
Foam rolling
Stretching
Scap Push Ups
Bird Dogs
Cat Camels
Curl Ups (only recently added these back in).
But good...
Consider some cat camels and dead bugs maybe on days you don’t train as well, so you are getting some dedicated bloodflow and movement to the area every day as well. Or as secondary things in the...
I think thats been my subconsious approach as well. My main goal so far has been a semi-linear progression to at least try to "beat" the cycle, but once I have done so and established progress...
Yep, that’s exactly what I do. I plan ahead and see what my weights are ahead time, and then I think of how many I can get. But I’ll usually try to hit a rep count with 2-3 RIR just to spare my...
I found my old Wendler PDF for 531. its like 97 pages if anyone wants to see it, I'm just not sure how to share it. But I wanted to brush up on some of his philosophy, especially the AMRAP set to...
Living the good life 😂
Funny thing is, this is pretty repeatable and manageable for maintenance in reality. for years thats really what I did. very clean Sunday night through Friday, allowing...
haha yeah pretty much. My last batch of chickens I plucked rather than skinned and I think these two we ran on the komodo joe grill beer can style are by far the best tasting yet. its basically my...
You know what, that’s gonna be my new diet. Rotisserie chicken and a couple protein shakes every day, but on the weekends I add a bunch of pastries on top 😂
haha yeah its been a lot of the little stuff slipping in. Had my first golf game of the year with the guys Friday, I had a beer. just one, but a big IPA so there's a bunch of bloat and wasted...

Congrats on the PR…. I’m like you on the early stages of 5/3/1 feeling light, but then I remind myself it’s designed to progress not only to build muscle strength, but joints and connective tissue...

I feel like you and I are in a similar spot with balance/life/gym. As long as my "top end" on the scale continues to trend downwards, I figure keep things in control with the right habits/balance...
