    a thought I have and the reason I don't use my trainers for deadlifts is that even if my ankles are safe and the added height doesn't hurt my pulls, I'm putting my body weight + the bar into the...

    The Tyr L1 lifters I got the other year for quad-emphasis work, Seth Albersworth reviewed them saying they’re so awesome in so many ways, BUT once he’s going over 700 they seem to have a liiiittle...

    Sitting in a chair with an icepack over the affected area of your spine for 10-20 min max will do a LOT to pull local inflammation out, moreso than taking ibuprofen systemically even can. My...

    That sounds like a phenomenally good approach, polar opposite from the mistakes of my youth (less weight, higher volume, and probably equal to, or greater overall tonnage moved, lol). It also...

    yeah I don't know about you but week 1 has been a harder week for me. the deload has to be enough work to keep the conditioning but low enough to recover. Week 2 has been probably my best week...

    Yeah if all continues to go right, I’m thinking about putting 275 on for a Joker rep in my third week. My 1 rep set is 260 that week, and I expect I would be able to hit 3, but I’m probably just...

    Today it was sorta funny, I woke up feeling pretty good with no aches or pains, which is incredibly unusual. feet feel good, knees feel good. I think this mon/tues (rest weds) thurs/fri routine...

    Things were really different only 5-6 years ago. When my wife and I got married and bought a boat together in 2020 I was feeling good about it with gas being under $2/gallon and moorage being...

    I will add. I grossly underestimated how happy I would be with this. If I had done it over again I would have made my house smaller and done some sort of barnominium off to the side . I’m...

    The home gym is the best investment I’ve ever made. If you minus the commercial treadmill though it will still probably take me five years to get my money back out of it if I quit adding equipment...
