I really appreciate the support, compliments encouragement! I think only other gym rats can understand it when you've really put it all out there.
This morning I woke up feeling like I PRd...
Man that is so awesome, and such a huge accomplishment. Some PRs are just bigger and more important, and that was one of them….age is just a number bro. And I love your narration of that set. I...
Dude way to break that 11 year PR ! It’s so crazy to me how in the days that can seem like the worst can crank out the best training days, just freaking wild.
Have a great dinner with your boy...
Something about getting into your late 30s or 40s that makes you feel incredibly good when you can hit PRs. Something about defying aging while most of the humans in the country are sitting around...
I put a lot of stock in rep PRs. They give you something powerful to drive your training, something that gets you fired up to reach for more. If you are doing things you have never done, you are...
That one has my heart all twisted up in knots still. What a weird thing to be so hung up on, "reps" but I walked in feeling like garbage. Ended up going 5lbs heavier than programmed, and when I...
I'm 99.9% sure that 405 x 6 was a 2015 PR. So that's an 11 year old accomplishment I just beat.
It doesn't mean my 1rm is bigger or that I'm stronger than the guy next to me, but breaking my own...

Notes
I've had 405 x 6 in my head for 10+ years as a reps PR. Rep 1 was a f'ing 1RM kinda grind. Rep 2 was suddenly easy. All...
I think Layne posted a study that showed that caffiene intake had a direct impact on strength training.
Mark Bell (I know you're not a fan, but...) said something about how you can't take a...
Resets are internet non-sense. That’s not how your receptors work. You can take a very long period off, you add caffeine back, and it feels incredible for about 3 days. Then you begin to...
are we talking about like a ban on caffiene for a while? that sounds horrible 😂 😂
pretty sure they linked caffiene to lower mortality. coffee at least.
its like fried foods, alcohol...
600-900
That would look like 1-3 cups of coffee, an energy drink between 140-300, and preWO consisting of 250-350mg.
Only 250-450 on Saturdays because no training and it’s my highest cal, hi...
its not real consistent but maybe on the top end.
coffee = 100
coffee = 100
redbull = 80
preWO = 150-200 I think
but sometimes I have one of these alanis my wife found at costco which are...
usually a coffee at 5am, another around 7am then maybe a sugar free monster/redbull in the afternoon.
preWO on heavy days, none on deloads. thats about it. half that on weekends.

All our boys are excellent cooks. Teaching your kids life skills is so important.
Yeah, those HS Row machines will put it on you, but man I love it. That’s why normally on back day I’ll only do 2...
Those are good shoes; several people at the gym use them because they’re so affordable for how good they are.
And the name is misleading - they wanted people to know they won’t slip on sumo work...
I'm in a race against a relentless ghost that doesn't exist to a finishline that never arrives in a league of one where the division changes based upon life's circumstances du jour. I'm not sure...
Oh, I mean, like I hardly did any work - essentially like a warm up for actual benching. But I guess that's the point, isn't it? Keep the motion, cut back to a weight that realistically isn’t...
food looks awesome dude
thats a great feeling though. its easy to get mentally exhausted before you are able to physically exhaust yourself like that, IMO I always feel so much healthier when I...
