Not since starting this 5/3/1 cycle. So far it's been Machine Chest Presses, JM Presses, and now Floor Presses. So I'll probably be using some combo of those, just depending on how I'm feeling... -
Have floor presses been in your rotation the whole time? I must have missed it if it was, then and a pin press can really help build up a bench!
-
Those are good shoes; several people at the gym use them because they’re so affordable for how good they are. And the name is misleading - they wanted people to know they won’t slip on sumo work...
-
Oh, I mean, like I hardly did any work - essentially like a warm up for actual benching. But I guess that's the point, isn't it? Keep the motion, cut back to a weight that realistically isn’t...
-
how did that deload bench feel for you? those look dope!! I like the ankle support of my flats but these are super tempting.

Yesterday was a cardio morning. Fitbit didn't record right, but believe it was close to 30 mins give or take. Also got in a late afternoon walk around our neighborhood, 15 mins and ~1600 steps...

Another good session! Great work on the OHP and the incline db press. HS torture machine is what that is 🤣

Great session! Hope the appointments were all good for your wife. Pretty awesome he cooked that up for you guys, sounds delicious!
-
Yeah over 3.5 plates on that high row definitely takes some work! Also, I had pork chops yesterday and they were delicious 😋
-
All our boys are excellent cooks. Teaching your kids life skills is so important. Yeah, those HS Row machines will put it on you, but man I love it. That’s why normally on back day I’ll only do 2...
-
your back days always look strong, I know that machine and I know how hard that 330lbs is in reality. it might be a machine but thats legit work. Love having the boy cook too, thats an important...

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...

Like.
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...
