Something interesting Broderick shared with me this weekend about Dr. Di Pasquale (the champion powerlifter who made the Metabolic Diet I have been following) was that he personally was big on... -
Good stuff, between the fast, and then keto, inflammation should clear out pretty quickly.

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.That would probably explain why my elbows were hurting. Will adjust next time for sure
-
That sounds like a wise pivot based on the available timeline! JM Presses should never touch the chest or anything. You just lower towards the neck/lips region until the forearms/elbows load up...

Squat Day, 5/3/1 Warm up routine. BB Squats: Warm up sets, 45x10 95x8 115x6 Working sets, belted, banded pullaparts prior to each set: 140x5 155x3 175x3 + knee sleeves Warm ups moved very...

Love the data! Are you in a deficit? How often do you do that morning cardio? Either of those, or that lower e2 could be contributing to that fatigue.
-
I agree here. And just to add some more confusion, I has more itchy sensitive nips when my e2 is below 20. Even having gyno, e2 at 50 doesn’t actually make it worse for me as far as new...

What was your E2 pre test bloods?
-
Okay how are we going to worry about the odd case of Athlete’s Foot fungus more than everyone’s shoes that were on public bathroom floors earlier that day for sure? Like who actually has actively...

Squats 5 x 150, 170 3 x 205 3 x 240, 275 5 x 310 BBB 5 x 10 x 175 Notes No jokers taken. Even though I felt like I put it all out there, maybe 1RIR, after a couple minutes I definitely felt...
-
A lot of that extra work you like to put in, like Jokers etc., I believe that mindset can be traced back to your Xfit days. After all that’s the mindset to go balls to the walls and hold nothing...

Roger that! 🫡 Spotter bro date lined up for monday. I told him we go for broke, then break some more. Amen!
-
Some very good topic discussions here guys!
-
I mean I think you should feel relatively confident you can get it. Maybe something like 75% or so. I don't think you should be breaking the bank trying a rep you feel you won't get just to grind...
-
thinking deeper, even if it was a failed rep, I would have at least tried for 4 yesterday if I had snagged a spotter.
-
Well it comes back to something i was going to mention when you asked me the other day regarding the CNS stuff, but then I lost it in another browser. That is that if you are doing an AMRAP, and...

dapack replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Conrad on a huge meet!!! All the time and hard work Def paid off!!! Dropping down to 90kgs would be crazy with your size.

Monday I didn’t have much appetite & waited to eat for a while, but did decide to eat eventually - I ate the things I had really wanted to during the reload that I couldn’t (because of social/time...
-
My idea is not so dissimilar, just cutting out the maintenance phase. Focus on getting some weight off now so I have less to trim later and can eat more closer to comp. Unfortunately for my...

the only downfall to going at 198 is that we'd all miss you around here. https://anabolicminds.com/community/threads/200lbs-the-holy-grail-for-gym-bros-why.335321/post-6909942
-
Think if you can spend a month or two at maintenance and just settle into the mid-220s, then you could hit another deficit until you're in that 205-210 range. Ideally, you'd get there before...
-
I appreciate that, and am glad I got to share this journey with you! I definitely have gotten a lot more comments lately about being jacked, no doubt.
-
Congrats on an awesome performance and man you look like a brick shithouse filled back out while that lean. I was picturing your old physique back early on the boards to now... Just unreal...
-
Thank you! And same to everyone for all the kind words and support. Glad you brought up the halo: I think 30mg worked a lot better for me than 20mg to help put me in the right zone. Gave me that...
-
First off congrats on a great weekend to both of you. Sounds like a near perfect weekend for both of you minus a single bench. You should be incredibly proud of that squat and the mental component...
-
83lbs to do 1,642 @220. Which sounds like a lot, but imagine training at maintenance now and actually just not getting injured to even string together several months of good work. It could have...
-
Hell yeah, man. How far does that put you off the ultimate goal of an elite total if you shoot for it at 220? Any chance you think you could reasonably take the weight down to 205-210 over the...
-
Man, what an accomplishment! That is f-ing awesome! Meet PR’s, DOT PR is just absolutely amazing. Great work on your prep and great work on taking the chance you did on your last squat. That...

Wow man! Amazing meet for you and the wife! What an awesome story and gets me pumped up!! Congrats
-
Man I knew you were going to blast some new PRs, and not only did you obliterate your previous PRs you get Best Lifter and one of your most complete meets ever. And I love hearing about your...
