Yeah, a lot of this I think was based on what I had in my head coming in. Basically for bench I was thinking top set of between 195-205 if things went well, but I ended up splitting the...
Congratulations on a great first meet! I’m glad to hear it was such a positive experience; I expected it would be. I also think you made good decisions for openers and throughout. You have the...

Man that’s quite a novel I bet at this point! If you take one thing from it, I hope you see that the journey of strength is not always easy or linear. I named this log after the Odyssey for a...
I just did the math: those squats were 15,000lbs of volume at/over 319lbs bar weight. And getting 12 on those hacks was BRUTAL too; if I lose any muscle leaning out it won’t be for lack of...
A couple of great workouts there…. I agree with Kleen on your bench day. Those sets of 25 reps wide bench after that 309 bench definitely look nasty…..volume.💪
And that 319x8x5 after those heavy...

Deload over , LFG. Should be blast day 1 but I’m still waiting on labwork results. Don’t even see them pending so I need to make sure they got sent before I start so I don’t need to do TRT...
Alright labs are back
Pretty happy with these
H/H - 16.9/52.1 - need to watch this. Probably need to hydrate better. Started natto- 10,000 FU daily last week. Would prefer to not have to give...
Makes sense. BBB on squats = great effort, solid stimulus. BBB on bench has been too low. I've had to mix it up with pauses, CGBP, widegrip etc. this will be a good experimental weight to play with.
The thing that both percentages and RPE are trying to do is get weights in your hands that will lead to sufficient stimulus and desired training effect. That’s it.
This is why Jim has talked...
I couldn't mutliquote everything over the weekend on the app so had a hard time getting actual responses in, but when I was religiously hitting that low weight 60% volume I had a hard time making...
OMG I feel like a heroin addict getting his first hit after 12 years. Feels amazing. Spent an hour on them today and blew out some blisters [emoji23][emoji23]
Diet starts "tomorrow" cause wife is...
Lol too funny. I learned how to grow just cause I wanted to and I think the plants are pretty but I still just don't really like the stuff [emoji23]. I wish I did but it's just not really my...
I'm now officially insulted. Your top sets look like my 50% warm-up weights in terms of speed and power. I'm not sure how these could possibly be your legit 1RM, you are underselling yourself by a...
