That will be sick! Ah yes the good ol permits and jazz. One of the pluses to this area, not zoned so no building permits or inspections or any of that jazz. I hear you on the tractor front... -

I'm not 100% sure what keeps me motivated on the meat bird thing. we don't have enough space really to run cattle, but mom and dad do that anyways. There is something about growing your own meat...

its crazy good! sorta like pizza or lasagna it honestly tastes even better the next day to me. these were all cornish cross chickens, I haven't butchered the last 15 freedom rangers yet which my...

Man you had a busy weekend. That’s a good load of rocks, and you can’t beat free. Ha, now your wife knows how to give you a real honey do list. Of course there’s no other honey do list that...

Got home last night and the misses had organized my junk heap and yet-to-be-chopped madrona rounds of firewood, cleaned/organized the shed, and was sitting at the dinner table with colored pencils...

Awesome work! Meat in the freezer, those rocks look like quite a score! What does she have planned to build with them?

Friday I fit in a late afternoon golf game, then my wife found more "free" rocks lol. about 1/2 man to 1 man sized so I loaded up somewhere around 1000lbs+ (I load until the truck is just starting...

Cycle 4 was my hardest mentally to keep showing up and chasing those numbers, I've never survived 531 past 3 cycles before, but now as I enter my deload, I'm getting pretty optimistic about...

Yeah you’ve been killing it man…. I wouldn’t worry too much about missing that one Deadlift day, because your pulls are still progressing. I would just stay on schedule…if you weren’t progressing...

dapack replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Happy birthday 🎂

Happy birthday man! And pretty cool to share a birthday and then the next day the other son!
-
Happy birthday GP! Also that is cool about your two sons having similar birthdays, just one big ol celebration! Glad your ART guy is doing positive things for the shoulder. I really need to look...

Well gentlemen I turned 62 today. Today was mine and my middle son’s birthday. My oldest son’s birthday is tomorrow, and we’re going to have a cookout and celebrate Saturday. So I turned 62 today...
-
All good stuff…. I would much rather start lighter and slowly progress to hit my goals than to let ego push me into starting heavy, thinking it’s more impressive, but a much higher risk of injury...
-
It is to me at least. I mean the triple with 452 this morning was fast & easy because I am all gassed up on gear & using the super-stiff knee sleeves, but aside from 6-8 weeks out of a contest...
-
I actually think this is something I experience when I travel and find a gym I'm not used to. Particularly this time around, since everything was in kgs I probably went more conservative - but...
-
That makes a lot of sense. for fun, I just applied the same thing at 265/.95 = 278TM. so 278/.90 puts me at 309. I had went the default method. I think I started with a 295 true max (vs 305 PR)...
-
Jim has even said the lighter you can set your TM, the better, especially for more advanced or experienced lifters. He has seen tremendous success running TMs on squat as low as 75% of competition...
-
Awesome work, and yes people don’t understand that aspect of 5/3/1 (or training in general). They think if they run higher weights in training that will make them stronger faster, instead of...
-
does it seem like the shoulder is more bothered by the overhead work than the bench work? really glad to see you throwing down spottos, I do think I need to either incorporate those or pause work...

I kept going back and forth forever because I felt stronger wider, but the past couple cycles I've really kept it narrower. for me and my bodys width, that puts me really close the inside of the...
-
No I don’t have a close grip…it’s a little wider than my shoulders, with forearms straight. It’s really been fine though 4 cycles of 5/3/1, and then I had that issue on the HS Shoulder Press, and...
-
probably smart, plus you got the prescribed heavy work done. how narrow is your grip? I was always taught a bit narrower like this one I circled but it can be a mind game going back and forth...

Sounds like a great time!

For sure. Whole trip was actually really great. Vegas is pretty neat in that there's so many things to do, gamble (which I didn't bother with), shows (which I did), great food (definitely did...
