Glad you got to have the squats you were hoping for! And put a great bench behind it too; looking good for meet day. -
That’s some great squats brother….405 x 2 is an impressive PR. Looks like you will be going into your meet in a good place ready for “Beastmode”.💪

Dustin07 replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.we tend to be much harder on ourselves cause we are all lifetime gym rats. I have seen people sign up for their first gym membership and 2 months later sign up to go to an event where they humbly...

Dustin07 replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Honestly I 100% think you should do it. You've been toying around with the idea of a competition for a while and this would give you a focused timeline to work towards and experience to determine...

Some great advice here, I agree with Hyde that if you are okay with the first 4 things, then just do it for the fun, and motivation. It will be a good experience, and might be just what you need...

Do you want to change your training right now? Are you excited by the idea to train for strength the next 2.5 months? Would you be okay with a total well below your best ever numbers, since you...
-
OK, so serious question: I just found out there is a local gym hosting a PL style meet Oct 24th. That would give me basically 2.5 months to prep to do the 3 lifts (I can choose to also just do 2...

Dustin07 replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.maybe! yesterday I was reminded of the skill required to manhandle heavy OHP, not just the strength. I had lost my balance or breath (or both?) on rep 5 again, brought it back to the bottom...

Yeah, I was going to say, if you are wanting to clean up, LISS would be the only form of cardio I would consider during a deload, and even then very laid back if not part of your normal work. Now...
-
Jim has talked about this and I know you know this in your heart as well: the deload is not time to make training harder in any way. Otherwise you don’t shed fatigue sufficiently to warrant the...

I bet you’re all over 210 lbs for your OHP max. The food looks delicious, and it’s great hearing you guys are doing so good since she left her job. No doubt some things are just more important...

Congrats on that bench PR, things are getting exciting!

Also, as of this week bumped Tren E from 40 to 50mg for the final 4 weeks. May not be much, but still a 25% increase - plus the addition of 40mg Tbol is objectively working. I realized all my...

It is absolutely about the total weekly work, not getting it in individual sessions. Break it up however suits your schedule & recovery to do the highest quality work overall in general. In fact... -
Dustin07 replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.@Hyde what's your opinion on deficits, fasting, and cardio during my deload? I don't mean 40min incline LISS but maybe some harder stuff, sprints and sled pushes etc. Defeat the purpose of a...

Subbed If you have been hitting squats for 8 weeks, you can start to push the RPE a bit harder. You could also take a bit of load off too if concerned about pushing too hard too soon -...

Dustin07 replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.that would be dope, I mean bro to bro, I'd rather see you at 255 than 275 for obvious reasons
-
The thought hasn’t escaped me. Honestly if I can hit 370-375 at this size, it should be possible to take 407 weighing around 255 or so eventually.
-
Dustin07 replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.oh man, not that I want to necessarily encourage you to go back up to the 270s plus but could you imagine if you hold on to a tight bench during this cut, then made that winter run again like you...
-
Thank you everyone! I’m excited for this especially because it’s something I’ve really never accomplished - getting smaller is usually a death sentence on bench for me. I’m really proud of the...

I’ve always found gaining or losing weight to be worth about a lb on bench per lb of bodyweight - so dropping 22lbs of mass while maintaining numbers is basically like adding that much strength...

And that’s HOW IT EXITS when it’s utilized, not how it gets utilized. If you are eating in a surplus all day, you will not have any meaningful burnt fat happening at all, no matter how much you...
