I don't see anything wrong with those macros and honestly don't see any real reason to address protein unless you just want to for some other reason. If you were focusing on bulking up I would say... -

I think i told you guys before but my first oly meet I hit the cleanest snatch I've ever had on my opening lift. I was like damn that was light! then I realized I opened up with a low training...

So I bet the 55 lbs bars really throw you for a loop.😂
-
we don't have them at this gym but yes historically that was rough haha. what we do have is the ez bars and what we used to call "trainer bars" which do not have weights stamped on the sleeves so...
-
all the ones at our local gyms are proportionately larger than the 45s to match a 45+10 on the bar so they take up the same space and THEY DONT GYM MATH everyone knows that 2x 55s isn't a...

That is true newbie status, not noticing the numbers or the massive feeling difference
-
oh man thats for sure where I thought this story was going! to be fair, most gyms still dont' have anything over 45s and 55s IMO should be banned lol

We have a Star Trac leg press too, and I actually like it a lot. Funny story I forgot to share a couple weeks ago. So we have a couple 100 lbs plates on one of the racks on the leg press, and I...

thats pretty awesome. we basically have like 4 different leg press machines. the star trac and h/s, then old school horizontal, v squats and hack squats and I'll tell you it can take me a few...

Yeah I’ve never used one, but I really like it. I had quit using our other Hack squat machine, which is a York too, but it really started getting to my knees. With this one, the platform is...
-
That’s a great session, pull ups on point! that machine looks like a leg killer 😂

Love that machine, been too long since I’ve gotten to use one! Enjoy your mini cycle 😄

That's a perfect summary for a deload. Nice and low volume update... ;)
-
Well, had my workout post all ready to go here for my last deload day, and then I closed the app out. Not going to replay it all, so to sum: Last deload day, did a lot of stretching /warm ups pre...

So, quick heads up for anyone looking: Jacked Factory has a Prime Day deal right now on their carb powder, 1/2 HBCD and 1/2 Carb10, for $15. Should've bought two! I totally forgot about that reco...

and that stuff adds up fast too. I looked at those greens that hubberman promotes and after like 30 seconds clicking through the website I was like, nope, I'm out. Yeah I'm guilty of watering...

The amount of salt I use periWO, it really doesn’t - but with artificial flavoring it does taste good enough. And comparable electrolyte products like LMNT also don’t taste great - you simply...
-
Yeah, salting some sugar free coolaid is where it is at over buying specialty drinks. Honestly for most of us Gatorade isn't even a good option unless you are adding sodium to it. It replaces more...

I'm also a believer that if you know your body and you know good pain vs bad pain, sometimes you gotta work through the pain to retrain your body what should and shouldn't hurt. My knee hurt so...
-
It’s almost like you could just use $1 Morton table salt with store-brand Mio/flavor enhancer like I told you before… If you aren’t doing split squats, Bulgarians, couch stretch etc either preWO...

One more piece of info: In diagnosing the potential recurrent lower back issue, it seems it may be tied to tight iliopsoas causing anterior pelvic tilt (lordosis), leading to extension of L4/L5...

And just a few more data points: Weight: 155.6# (+2.4# since end of week) BF: 14.1% (+0.3% since end of week) But really good trend on readiness this past week transitioning into full on deload.

Hope all the dad's out there had a nice father's day. Family took me to a hot air balloon festival on Saturday which was cool. It was a bit too windy for them to really take flight, but seeing all...

Man that sucks about the setback with the knee. I agree that it’s probably from the heel lift. Because that elevated heel definitely shifts some extra load on the knee. That’s why I had to quit... -

Also, a little better news, my daughter said my knee sleeves should be delivered sometime today. :) Hopefully those will really help out. I just did a quick look up of some things to do for this...

Yeah, I am right there with ya on that. I do not want to mask a symptom, I would rather figure out how to fix it. This is what I was thinking as well. If i really have one shorter leg shouldn't I...
