Still great numbers though man. Excellent job being able to hit your goal of 308 on bench. And even though you got a couple of red lights on the 495 for going back down a little, great job... -
That’s good information…. I’m glad you explained all that, because that’s really important and good to know. I was thinking it probably wasn’t enough time after the 475 12 days ago, but glad you...

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.Agree. Was thinking lighter tempo would not hurt but seems it just might have. To your point too, this next meet wad thinking hit a solid 455 at around 17 days out and call it good. Always get in...

If you lock out the bench or pull, we call that a good gym lift at the barbell club lol. So at least you made an 800lb push-pull gym lift! And especially great, not injured and can go right back...

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.October 17th, 2026 (Saturday) Meet Recap Overall happy but again disappointed in deads. 1st attempt with bench, 276lbs, jumped the press command and no lift. The next 2 attempts played out as...

Hope you smash it! Having your back fresh for deadlifts with no squats prior can only help ✊

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.Will be 5 this year but it is just how things lined up perfectly. Next year would like to do 3 to 4 but until meets are posted cannot be sure.

Our church group canceled tonight so my wife and I got to walk downtown while we dropped the kids off at their kids group. 45 minute easy conditioning.
-
I’d have to sift thru my training notebook to see if they are true PRs. I’m enjoying going down to the basement to lift/condition. I strayed from 5/3/1 a bit in the summer and I just don’t...

Weights seem to be going well. Two PRs in a row now? Template must be working!

dapack replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.Congrats on squats pr!!!looking huugee
-
Wow man! Congrats on the PR and geez looking solid as fawk!
-
I forgot BBS is 10x5. Which makes much more sense, name-wise. I would not do the AMRAP in that case since volume won’t drop at all. I also wouldn’t go up 50lbs from your BBB weights, but more...

Looking like a solid chunk of beef Sir! Congrats on that PR!!!! Nothing like a lifetime PR.
-
THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE!!! You grew it, and you reaped it. People forget that the cultivation is only part of the process - you must have the determination to reach out & collect...
-
Nice work man…congrats on the PR.💪 Looking good in the picture….your upper body definitely fills out that T shirt. I didn’t realize you had such a big nose, but I like the’stache.😜

I feel like I look much stronger than I am [emoji23]

I have only limited experience with BBS and it was good for my deadlift. Seems like Wendler is a fan of it for the pressing moves per his YouTube. After SVR I’m eyeing up God Is A Beast which...
-
50 reps spotto at 220lbs sounds like a lot more fun and moderately more challenging than the current 50 reps of like 160-170lbs for BBB.
-
I was basically searching for all mentions of BBS on the book you sent me and generally it seems like a 10x5 approach on boring but strong could either be at 70% all three weeks, or run as FSL...
-
You could use Spotos for Boring But Strong after your primary bench. Then to help pick up a tad more volume, which does seem to force the bench well, do one AMRAP (regular or closegrip) touch n...
-
Eric Spoto (who was an ATWR raw benchpresser, arm wrestler and gym rat with generally enormous arms), famously trained all of his bench press coming down to within an inch or so of his chest. Now...
-
yeah this is all making sense to me. I need to figure out how to modify the 531 template in a way that makes sense, maintains the current working sets but incorporates spottos and/or pauses and/or...
-
It sounds to me like you just didn't feel super confident from the beginning, and probably got in your head a little bit. I do agree with Hyde, you should have taken a bigger jump, but that is...
-
I didn't really know them as Spotos but I can tell you for sure when I needed to work on the point I needed to flare my elbows to complete the press that pausing just before that point, and then...
-
whats funny is I spent the last few days doing math. 310 x .95, 310 x .93, etc figuring out my jumps. When it came down to making a decision between 305 and 310 I can't tell you why in the moment...
-
I definitely believe Spotos will help your sticking point. I would say from just a few inches above the chest all through the midway zone is the area they probably help the most. That stopping the...

A large percentage of people hurt every day. They then use that excuse to do nothing , they lose strength , muscle mass , core stability , decondition from a cardiac standpoint. They still hurt...
