    it is crazy what that stuff costs, live edge slabs can go for BIG money out here. we were shopping them for bar seating on our deck and the local places wanted up to like $800 EACH (we needed 2 or...

    Yeah that is a bummer, I had no idea prices of wood slabs would be that high. It definitely is a lot of work to it, I used 2 chainsaws because I didn’t want to overheat the bar’s. A long cut on...

    Congrats on the PR! Also, what in the Multiplicity do you have going on over there, getting all of that done while working full time. and what work do you have the dumbest one do?

    same. like small amounts of it seem feasible to me, but the size of this project is so far beyond anything I have ever done. its inspirational but daunting. I'm like trying to stack up some trees...

    Oh for sure man I have been drawing out and planning in my head for this at least a year now. If you can build it yourself definitely cost savings for sure!

    Well let me tell you my timing is so perfect it’s hard to match. Let’s decide to build a house when prices on everything are running to all time high 🤣

    So called this morning and they were able to get me 8 yards out this morning. So very glad to have this poured and sealed up now. I did install more uprights just for a little more anchor...

    I have taken deloads that essentially had no barbell. I've skipped deloads entirely. Its like a three bears situation trying to get this thing juuuuust right.

    roger that, noted. I think I have carried some confusion on the expected deload volume. I'm rereading the 7th Week Protocol though, so i'll get some checks and balances in for tonights session...

    This is way too little work. Even fully skipping BBB, this isn’t enough comp bench. You aren’t getting enough skill work or volume to sustain your muscle base. I would still do a first set last...

    I agree, I learned this the hard way for sure. My output on those 3 weeks has been much more intense, the deload far more necessary. its a mental shift, makes me look forward to each week in its...

    @Hyde do you have thoughts on this weeks approach for my deload? More volume, less volume, etc? My thoughts this week are to maintain the below approach, squat like 315 for a great single...

    Exactly. Some people will tell you deloading every 4th week is losing 25% of your training time. I will tell you that getting hurt loses WAY more time. If you are loving the program as is and...

    As of right now I have really liked taking PRs in training vs attempting to peak. I don't want to change whats working, yet, but I see the pros to his 3/5/1 approach allowing jokers on weeks 1 and...

    Yeah I agree with all that. Between Jim's first book and the 531 Forever book Hyde sent me, I go back and forth with understanding some of Jim's thoughts. For instance as he gets into the "7th...

    This was my thinking as well, what Hyde said. I would just start cycle 6 as prescribed, because you haven’t hit any road blocks. I understand what you were saying when you were trying to adjust...

    I’m confused. In 5/3/1 you add 5lbs to your TMs for upper every successful cycle and 10 to lower. It has absolutely nothing to do with calculated 1RMs or rep maxes. Just 5/10lb progressions per...

    That makes more sense now. Agree on the last block 410 300 335 180 Then from there if you have to cut back bench and OHP then ramp back up. Definitely making huge progress man!

    so this would be more like week 20-24 (I just finished week 3 of cycle 5, each cycle is 4 weeks... 3 training + 1 deload). if I go on into cycle 6 (month 6) and am unable to hit my...

    Or maybe I just give Cycle 6 the ol' college try and wait to see if I make it or not. then adjust if I hit a brickwall.

    Yeah that seems way too big of jumps for week 6. AI projects seem to low. What is the recommendation on 5/3/1 when you are close to absolute max?
