    Food is by far the most powerful tool you have; even real bodybuilders on loads of gear understand this. You trade food for gear in a prep to help hold muscle. Dante Trudel is famous for saying if...

    I'm also rawdogging life in terms of supplementation. nothing but a little creatine and preWO, sometimes not even preWO. I used up the last of my alpha one a week or 2 ago, anabolic effect...

    that make sense too. I'm realistically teetering between "don't rock the boat" and "I need to get control of this asap". Average weight is up 10lbs from my low avg between when I went on vacation...

    Yeah, using nutrition for the deficit during a deload makes more sense, and liss shouldn't be damaging any tissue so no real "recovery" there so to speak. Hence why LISS is considered King for...

    Thanks Gentlemen, has been a rough week so far. I woke up Monday morning sick as a dog, some kind of stomach bug or food poisoning. Unfortunately I was out of town for work and there was no option...

    The hammer strength stuff is what I miss most about going to a gym. Some of my home setup gives the same feel but that machine , the incline press and the military press in particular are my...

    Glad you got to have the squats you were hoping for! And put a great bench behind it too; looking good for meet day.
  • Dustin07
    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”.💪

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    @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...
