My Cycle 1 1RM numbers were Dead 425 Bench 295 Squat 315 OHP 185 those were legit numbers not guess or calculators. As I get into week 6 it projects: Dead 480 Bench 350 (LOL) Squat 394 (not yet)... -
long story short I was thinking a nice clean 275lb bench comp style for a single made a lot more sense than going for a TM single since that would technically be a PR and seems like way...

@Hyde I thought you had suggestions on taking a heavy single during deload rather than just going through the standard Wendler RX but I can't figure out who's thread we had that discussion in...

I often forget what a treat it is to cook a great meal for yourself and your loved ones. Don't get me wrong, I can throw things together and make them taste great, most of my convenience dishes...
-
I know it really is surprising how many people don’t cook, and like you said Hyde they are forced to get takeout or go to a restaurant…more expensive and usually not healthy. My middle son’s wife...

I briefly rented this awesome loft in Tacoma (bachelor pad, it did the job) from an older well-to-do couple in 2016 and first thing I scoped out was the kitchen etc. He goes "you cook?" I said...
-
pull-ups are sorta a funny one around here. I feel like its that after thought movement that we all intend to throw in but often times gets forgotten. Nothing wrong with a couple sets of 10+ for a...

Learning to cook and feed yourself is such a valuable skill; it will save your grandson a lot of money & health and be a blessing to his family the rest of his life. I can’t believe the number of...

Yeah he’s doing good…..he’s already been making breakfast like omlets, bacon, biscuits etc., and simple meals at dinner, but now he’s starting to get interested in how to cook and season meat...

Nice the boy is a good cook, and congrats on that new PR!!!!
-
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Adding 2-5% load to the bar weekly seems to be pretty safe for connective tissue that hasn’t experienced that load in a long time (or ever). This isn’t to say you...
-
yes sir, that answers the question perfectly. I see people often throw out percentages of how much is safe to increase but they don't usually highlight specific time periods. Like Gary up there...
-
Over what period of time? Layne likes to have funny battles on X and this one cracked me up. at 10% I should be squatting more than you by new years 😂 😂 I popped that 5% rule into excel...

PR city up in here!
-
That’s a great point….there really isn’t any reason to go over 275, and I definitely don’t want to go too far with the shoulder, so 275 it is then.😎👍
-
Glad it was an awesome workout! From a science angle, adding about 5% load to the bar from a recent heaviest exposure is all they can say is generally safe from a connective tissue adaptation...

well my best so far is still only 200 the past couple cycles, I know on the one hand in theory I hit that after working sets as a joker so I could blame fatigue for not going higher but on the...
-
So, I used to always do mixed grip on deads until I met you guys on here. Then the talk about blowing out a bicep got in my head, plus particularly @Dustin07 you use a lot of DOH grip. So that's...

Great session! Sounds like curls helped out and a win win.

-
I think everything Mr. Kleen says makes sense. Grip is HIGHLY specific. Not just grippers vs pinch vs barbell etc, but even down to the barbell - training reps won’t build your ability to hold a...
-
I think as long as a lot of the work is DOH it will be fine.
-
I am not Hyde, but it depends, if grip will be the limiting factor before you run out of gas on your AMRWAP then I would wear them for the AMRAP. The goal of the amrap is to push the target...
-
What is your opinion on DOH vs hook vs switch grip in regards to value, preference, science etc? do you feel one is better than the other? I prefer switch as we've discussed. I can DOH pretty...
-
Good to see things recovering for you, and sounds like a fun wrestling match with the fridge. Glad you didn't get hurt dealing with it.
-
I forgot to mention that using doh with straps did bother it somewhat; there was some slight pain when I began 545 Rackpull but I committed & the pull was fast. I found squeezing really hard on...
-
thats awesome, I imagine that 545 is just as great a test for the elbow as well, holding around 90%+ of your meet pull. maybe your elbow needed that hard 600lb day and some rest.
