Awesome…you planned the weight drop perfect. That’s definitely less stress than trying to drop lbs the last minute. Looks like everything is aligned for you to have a big weekend.🏆
Oh, and I hope...
I just let pandora or Spotify play my liked songs, but when a banger comes on right before a big lift or a grinder set, it always makes a difference! Sometimes when I'm about to do a big lift or a...
221.6 at 9pm - gonna come in light for sure, but didn’t wanna push things later and then need to watch the scale tomorrow. Wife is competing in the Pro Strongman League’s Masters Championships! So...

Yeah they get the glute ham tie in in a way I haven't felt before since you have to push forward more to get the lock out and it is probably a little less lower back intensive than a real good...
Oh wow, I didn’t realize that….yeah I found out by accident, but when I showed him, I set my legs back more, and man you’re right, it really blasted the glutes, hammies, and lower back. I do have...

That makese sense, and actually again applying patience and peaking ahead on the programming I'm supposed to be hitting 310 on bench on week 3 of cycle 7, so that would be a PR, again in...
She’s gorgeous bro, no doubt. Also really cool to get to see the garden and such in full detail you’ve been hammering away at.
5/3/1 Forever is a very good read - contains a lot of updated...
Can you build on that a bit to give me more perspective? I'm not sure how else to measure progress right now beyond hitting my prescribed sets lol. Well, other than maybe the mirror, waistline...
First off, everyone knows pizza is better the next day.
I was driving (LOL) when I replied to Kleen last night so I couldn't get into it but I was thinking about it a LOT. especially this part...
Not sure if you have 5/3/1 Forever or not but his leader/anchor approach gives some insight on joker sets. During a leader you would do 5s Pro and heavy supplemental work (BBB for example)…...
No, don’t up TMs - just don’t do Jokers weekly. People want so badly to believe that you have to do more to improve progress, but that’s not always the case.
It’s like pizza. Pizza is awesome...
Those bagels look fire 🔥! My wife has been on the sourdough kick for a year maybe more so lots of sourdough loafs here as well. Also sourdough pancakes, my personal favorite!!
Lol honestly I'm a bit torn. Still hitting Rx programming without issue. So do I up TM again after this cycle or chill?
Squats are progressing smooth and linear despite already upping tm a bit...
Yeah, you tend to have that high strength endurance so you can lift a lot closer to your 1Rm for reps than the average lifter. So it is likely a little skewed.
I know, every time I keep seeing...
I may never successfully cut again. My wife has progressed from making English muffins, to sourdough (amazing) to this supply of bagels she just texted me.
I know, thats why I kept them lighter and didn't push it. I wasn't supposed to take a cookie from the jar, but I was at least polite enough to put the lid back on when I was done. Unfortunately I...
