I’m the same way with a carrot. There should be something that is motivating the work process on some level.
Yes it would represent more actual strength on the Swissbar for sure. And you know you...
Agree. No such thing as maintaining, if you arent progressing you are regressing. It might not mean getting stronger , it might mean staying the same strength while improving cardio, or leaning...
On the wrist thing, not being a doctor or having seen images, or anything like that I can say that when I learned how to wrap correctly from a Dave Tate video years ago it was a game changer. I...
It really depends what motivates or excites you to lift. I’d say if you are driven to make a garage total on a test day using the bars that play nicely with your body & you hit numbers you’ve...
Anytime you can pick up 315lbs 8 times and put it back down FOR FUN is like just straight up retard strength. You ever think about that? Even if your long term goal is 500. Or if you're Hyde who...
That’s good to know and helpful because it bothers me more on the close grip stuff that the wide grip. May be able to modify it some by going wider. It’s nagged slightly for about 2-3 weeks (would...
It’s probably the CB. Mine on the side with my lack of elbow flexion gets overworked when I push it for too much ROM, things like reverse grip bench or closer Swiss handles, or cambered bar bench...

Thankful to be off work today.
Practiced some football with my son, nice little warm up.

Sucks to lose a vial like that.
Use chalk! Also, they make callus filing sticks so you can bring them down without having to get rid of their benefits. Keeps them from getting too tall and...

Pinned 50 mcg igf lr3 pwo. Subsequently managed to fumble the vial and drop it on the concrete and have it shatter. Guess we are going to abandon that for a while. Pinned my cjc /ipam as well...

Removed the pendulum squats this week. Really more just an active recovery, volume exercise. Adding the run Tuesday was enough extra load on my low back and leg accessory muscles that I...
You can’t wear elbow sleeves in a competition, so make sure you either get used to training without them OR are just mentally prepared to take your 3 attempts at the meet naked elbows. I mean...
I throw my wrist wraps on as part of ritual usually after my first (empty bar) or second warm-up set and leave them on typically until I hit the locker room, just tightening them down for a set...
Ok, helpful! And would the same principle apply for benching with elbow sleeves and wrist wraps? Ie., sleeves the whole time, wrist wraps one set or so before "needing" them?
amen to that. I don't think people understand how much work your abs can put in when pressing hard with all their might against the belt in a heavy pull or squat. I can walk away from heavy deads...
That’s something the owner of the barbell club told me that made a ton of sense. And he has coached a TON of college students, so not injury prone and generally newer to powerlifting. Skill...
I'm glad to see you say that, I am the same way and sometimes feel silly putting it on before I need it. but I figure it gives me maybe that 1mm of stretch in the leather, and lets body adjust to...
Out of prep, I tend to put them on before I even squat the bar, or within a plate or two certainly even in summer.
If it’s warm out in prep, I will try to go without them so I don’t have to...
Honestly no pain or even realizing I’m doing that - it often just won’t bend much once it’s gotten inflamed. It is fully osteoarthritic. Between maxing squats where it’s forced into flexion, then...
I was going to ask you, I remember after that last pull you walked off stage and kept that hand up like it was in a sling. I wondered if it was cause it was in pain in that moment and you were...

That is a nice way to lay it all out that makes the simplicity of it so attractive too. Also much better information than just a daily average. Thanks for expanding, I didn't want to ask you to...
