I appreciate that Kleen. Yeah, I’m feeling really confident about it, and I felt like if I’m gonna hit 300 - 315 by the end of the year, I need to start feeling the heavier weight periodically.😎 -
Excited for you and the upcoming new over 60 bench pr at 275 because we know you have this in the bag!!!

Yessir; I was worried how the high reps would go on keto since by Friday I’ve used up a lot of my glycogen already. But I started light enough that it wasn’t an issue. Getting this bigger fridge...

Smashed that wide grip bench, bet the chest was pumped! Yeah that is a chore just moving the fridge let alone having to take it apart to make it work through tight spots. Sounds like a success...

Had ART today & he loosened up a lot of gunk in my forearm, seemed quite productive! The forearm was red from the work near the elbow, but when it’s done it definitely felt more relaxed. Told me...

Oh that brings back bad memories of when I was going through that period where I had some fraying of my biceps tendon, that was a crazy painful period of getting back to good. Good luck! The ART...

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...

Something you could try for deloads that might make the transition back to week 1 weights smoother is to add 10% to the deload weights used on the main lifts, but cut the total number of sets on...
-
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...

That guy has a pretty sweet man cave set up! I don't personally get the astroturf in a gym, but maybe if I were an athlete (eg, football player, etc.)? But very cool to be able to also open up...

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...

its so hard to say. our deck was about 25+ years old and every year I was spending money to repair it, replace rotted planks etc and we finally decided to just man up and replace the whole thing...

thats a $1.5m setup where I live, not including land or house lol

Pnw prices…. I feel like it could be done for 0.5 where I live ! That is an extreme version of course but you could do a basic 2 car garage on a slab with 1-2 big roll up glass doors. Spray foam...

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...

Yeah thats all true. I'd love to lift in the morning but I try to get to the office by 6am and getting up at 3:30 to make it to the gym in time to shower before work isn't going to happen. plus...

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...

LOL I am the same point. I tend to be very OCD about putting everything away but there is a subconcious 3 strike rule I think, not even intentionally, but if enough things are haphazardly toss...

Nice job squatting! I know you already heard that and that the rabbit looked fire too, but it bears repeating. I follow all the things you discussed with your wife, unless someone on a platform...

dapack replied to the thread Weights up, scales down….Fronts squats are solid!!
-
yeah dude those are good front squats. Still one of my favorite lifts. not sure why, but I actually enjoy the front squat a bit more than the back squat even though its 100lbs lighter for me...

Good job on squats, and that 225x3x3 on front squats was🔥😎👍

Really tedious on the plumbing, admittedly I haven’t done any plumbing in a long time so took me a long time to dry fit everything and get all my slopes set correctly. Also you can’t tell from...
