well you hit the nail on the head with the lazy comment. I love him, but unless I poke him and say lets go every day at lunch, he will miss full weeks of lifting. most of his PRs came at times... -
I watched a guy once open at 565. He was a 220 wraps guy, and I don’t know if he took a single warmup in the back. Maybe 495 for a single that I missed. Every time I saw him he was just sitting...
-
no he's competed a fair bit out here, not as much as me overall in barbell sports, but more than me specifically with like PL or Oly meets. He was a disciple of Rippetoe for a long time and even...
-
Honestly man that’s a good-looking singlet and appropriately sized. Where else would the straps really go/stay? If they were placed moreso just on the traps, they will just slide down the angle...
-
Has he competed before, or is he talking out his ass? That is a HUGE jump, and the CNS might not be ready for it. He might hit his rep, but it could take more out of him than his 2nd attempt would...
-
my buddy was saying last night that if he was opening at say 435 he'd make his last warmup probably 315 or even lighter. that seemed insane to me lol.
-
185 for sure. You have already knocked 3 reps out on it. Don't start so low you are afraid of the next jump. Plus you want it to feel a little heavy to prime for the next attempt.
-
Sounds like you have been busy! Hopefully all turn out well. Squats are looking good and sounds like you have a plan.
-
I was originally thinking a 165-170# opener. Now I'm feeling confident to do 180-185#.
-
about ten times reading todays updates I thought 90% of the comments were about squished kibbles and bits.
-
Hope the challenges at home with the boy get better and that you get a 2nd interview. On the squats, congrats on repeating the 195, when you say you will start higher, are you saying you will...
-
Hope the little guy starts feeling better, and good luck on your job interview. Quads are looking good man, great separation and sweep.💪

Been away for a bit from you guys (and gal!). But life has been a whirlwind since coming back from our trip between work and some fun in between! Very minimal to no workouts lately due to my...
-
I actually went to the barbell club for a change of pace (and to use the SSB for my fronts). Been at the commercial on Wednesday nights while it was still hot, but finally cooling off. Honestly...
-
Nice workout, and cool you have someone new to workout with and or talk shop. Sometimes even spending some time being social about our hobby is as almost as beneficial as the training for...
-
That's cool man, I like that you're in a similar minded gym. So you know those coming in are serious about the craft. That's a rare thing to find in a commercial gym.
-
Great session and sounds like a great addition to the gym with the new cat!

I think if lipids are acceptable, as early as January is possible for the right meet, otherwise February is ideal. March often has many meets, but my wife wants to do the Arnold Pro-Am Strongman...
-
Nice, that makes complete sense to me. I was just trying to guage about how far out you might choose to compete again.
-
Food is only going down for now. I seem to be maintaining ~220, so I will need more gear, less weekly cals and possibly cardio to get to 210. But that’s what making 198 is going to take. Gear...
-
Once you get your lipids where you want them how long do you want to hang out in a good range before starting to climb back up? IE pushing food and gear up.
-
I missed this post yesterday, probably because I left at lunch to take my wife to the Doctor, but that was a great bench session…you pressed a lot of tonnage in all those sets.😎👍
-
My Ezetimibe landed yesterday, so I began that last night. Took 10mg to get it frontloaded, but will be 5mg nightly with my 5mg Rosuvastatin going forward. Double-checked the 2008 trial data to...
-
that was an awesome journey to watch you chase for sure
-
The only time I’ve ever benched 405, I damn sure put 4 plates on that bar!!! No doubt, it’s just what you do when you break the plate thresholds the first time. RIP Rocket; thank you for...
-
Haha, I remember this feeling, the first opportunity you have to put 315 on the bar at has to be 3 wheels per side and at least for a little while after. I think the only time I didn't was if...
-
living the dream. I can't wait to see 3 wheels on a clean raw effort 🤘 IDK what it is about 3 wheels, just looks monsterous. first time we did it with the slinger my buddy started stacking rando...
-
Just depends on where everything is at. 320 is the most I’ve taken in the 6 weeks since the meet, and I slept on my shoulder funny last night so pec felt iffy going into it on that side. I knew I...
-
What is the golden number that you always feel extremely confident you have even on a bad day? I figure knowing what you put up and attempted at that last meet 320 would not be intimidating for...
