Yesterday I had contemplated splitting up my BBB work between sets of highbar, low bar, and front squats. specifically though 1 or 2 sets of front squats (while maintaining no more than 50 total... -

are you about to enter cycle 6 or 7 then on your 531?
-
Smart move keeping the deload nice and easy. Glad it seems to have been relatively inconsequential.
-
Glad to hear it felt good after the brush hog incident. Good deload session.

That’s as far as it goes, bro. Just hard stop. Lost all my deadlifter’s privileges. Now I just have a long vulnerable torso with only an average wingspan, worst of everything lol
-
That sounds like exactly what it did…just like with your deadlift the weight from the bush hog extended my arm beyond where it’s been in over 20 years. And it does feel like I can extend it a...
-
can tell in the video that you have more bend at 540 vs 606 but to be honest its still sorta crazy to me how much bend you still have at 606.
-
Oh man, glad it’s calmed down - that’s a great sign. My 584 deadlift Sunday I’m pretty sure pulled my arm straighter than it’s been in a minute; started aching at the elbow afterwards. Then after...
-
that would be great! I think it was about a year ago when I hit my PR squat and my buddy video taped it. 3/4 up my elbow popped out of position BADLY and you can see it on the camera. I thought I...
-
No it definitely wasn’t any serious damage. It is actually feeling fine now, but thought it was worth getting checked out since there was a little bruising. I’m pretty sure it’s just scar tissue. 😎👍
-
The good thing is this is a deload week, so I’m just doing main lifts this week and not worrying about accessories or arm work. And I have an appointment with my ART guy on Friday. Ha, so I have a...

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...
