So finally had a little bit of time to write about the weekend and my latest little speed bump. Saturday I rented one of the Little Wonder Brush cutters (bush hog). It’s one you walk behind, but... -
Glad to hear you were able to mitigate things with the treatment and just a slight drop in poundage! Definitely a no-brainer to keep the train rolling. You can build great muscle on lighter...
-
Well what I described is what I’d do at a commercial gym, not what you saw at the meet - you cannot train for real with necessary poundages for you without being able to set up properly & tight...
-
yeah IIRC you were unracking with hands outside the rack, I bet your wingspan is longer than mine. I could do that but I'd feel so spread out. You don't look unstable but the way you describe it...
-
Tight is completely relative, but it is always going to be wider than shoulder width for sure. The closer you can get your elbows in, the more packed and sitting on your frame you will be. For me...
-
Closer the better! But I don’t have but 50% elbow flexion on the left side, so I am forced to take a very wide grip for my frame. You normally wouldn’t see that under 6ft tall & the heaviest...
-
That was the starting point, T=0, 19.6 so relatively low. Nope, back to maintenance or slightly above right now. Just eating looser since coming off several months of focused cutting. But I am...
-
This is interesting and I'll have to video it to be sure, but generally I think I place my thumb knuckle on the transition between the smooth and knurled part of the bar. So it should be about a...
-
The tighter in you can get within reason is going to allow you to lock down your upper back more and give you a more solid base. However once you get to a certain size this gets harder and harder...
-
Great to hear the lower back is feeling better on squat day! Also just curious what is your hand placement on the bar when you do squats? I found for me that I had to move my hands in a lot...

Oh yeah!

I did my walking yesterday, as a matter of fact, I walked until I lost my sole, and then walked some more. I noticed I had a little piece of tread peeling off the bottom of my shoe yesterday. I...

Yeah, how you position your body completely changes the focus, Sometimes I do them CHarles Glass/ Mountain Dog style for chest, or straight up and down for more triceps, or allow my legs to go...

Boy that was a TLDR. I cycle the meat fats and eat 225-275g protein Mon-Friday. Weekends I make sure to get 180g protein in and eat what I want, with a prominent focus on carbs.
-
Specifically with my diet as it’s been, I don’t think a caloric daily average is useful - the significant calorie cycling is a huge component, and I very much believe the Saturday shitloading...
-
Honestly hearing some of the stuff regarding using super low doses to enhance TRT has me considering giving that microdosing a shot. I doubt I would ever risk it with a heavier dose, but I could...
-
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!
