oh man, not that I want to necessarily encourage you to go back up to the 270s plus but could you imagine if you hold on to a tight bench during this cut, then made that winter run again like you... -
Thank you everyone! I’m excited for this especially because it’s something I’ve really never accomplished - getting smaller is usually a death sentence on bench for me. I’m really proud of the...
-
I’ve always found gaining or losing weight to be worth about a lb on bench per lb of bodyweight - so dropping 22lbs of mass while maintaining numbers is basically like adding that much strength...

a bit sore today, lol. feet, quads, and hands. couple co-workers came out to help buck yesterday and they were late to work this morning so I assume I'm not the only one who felt it, haha.
-
I think for what you have going on the idea of just keep doing what you are doing but add in a 36hour fast once every 7-14 days and you will be able to stay right in the money area.

Food is by far the most powerful tool you have; even real bodybuilders on loads of gear understand this. You trade food for gear in a prep to help hold muscle. Dante Trudel is famous for saying if...

I'm also rawdogging life in terms of supplementation. nothing but a little creatine and preWO, sometimes not even preWO. I used up the last of my alpha one a week or 2 ago, anabolic effect...
-
that make sense too. I'm realistically teetering between "don't rock the boat" and "I need to get control of this asap". Average weight is up 10lbs from my low avg between when I went on vacation...
-
Yeah, using nutrition for the deficit during a deload makes more sense, and liss shouldn't be damaging any tissue so no real "recovery" there so to speak. Hence why LISS is considered King for...
-
maybe! yesterday I was reminded of the skill required to manhandle heavy OHP, not just the strength. I had lost my balance or breath (or both?) on rep 5 again, brought it back to the bottom...
-
Yeah, I was going to say, if you are wanting to clean up, LISS would be the only form of cardio I would consider during a deload, and even then very laid back if not part of your normal work. Now...
-
Jim has talked about this and I know you know this in your heart as well: the deload is not time to make training harder in any way. Otherwise you don’t shed fatigue sufficiently to warrant the...
-
I bet you’re all over 210 lbs for your OHP max. The food looks delicious, and it’s great hearing you guys are doing so good since she left her job. No doubt some things are just more important...
-
@Hyde what's your opinion on deficits, fasting, and cardio during my deload? I don't mean 40min incline LISS but maybe some harder stuff, sprints and sled pushes etc. Defeat the purpose of a...

Also the neighbors are her elderly aunt and uncle lol. It's not like theres weird thrupple stuff going on when I'm not there [emoji23][emoji23]

My wife had dinner at the neighbors tonight, which normally she's there on Weds when I'm driving across the state doing dad duties but tonight we had a schedule change as my boy is visiting...

Great job on the squats. You’re going to do a lifetime PR max soon. Just keep doing what you’re doing!
-
Most people are capable of so much more than they realize - they just need the will to do the hard things that it will take. Sometimes, just having someone in your ear telling you that you can do...

lol i was just saying last night I measure life as before covid (BC) or after covid, haha. its wild that a gym can pay the bills at $15. when I owned that one locally the rent was $3600/month...
-
Ha, I realized I had been saying my guy bought the gym 5 years ago, but he bought it in 2018. I joined in 2017…the first owner gave a deal to our employees of $15 a month. Then in 2018 when my guy...

Very cool about the old friend of yours and the new gym equipment GP! As Dustin said, small world out there. Hope you guys get some fun new equipment! I am also in deload right now - it is boring...

if the bench isn't duct taped together I don't even wanna use it lol
-
This is the first machine he bought 8 years ago brand new…. I think it was like $20,000 or something like that. The Matrix Multi Station 8 stacks….a really awesome machine. When we saw that we...
-
Ha, some of the equipment in the gym when he bought it seemed like it was old as me. JK😜
-
Oh yeah $10 is a great price. Yeah when he bought the gym, 8 years ago it had a lot of older wore out equipment, and the setup was horrible. So he started fixing equipment, getting rid of bad...
-
Anything for $10/month is a good deal in 2026, and I mean that genuinely. It’s hard to find a daypass for that price anymore.
-
It is funny when I see how many HS machines I am lucky enough to have access to in in my commercial gym. I think the only back machine we don't have is the low row, and we have all of the pressing...

this is a fun one, we have it in grey lol. I do really like this one
