Watching that guy deadlift he made it look so easy. Looked like he was pulling 225 but it was 585. He also had perfect form and clearly had been training his whole life specially for that lift. I...
That’s because that middle ground is where years of grinding take place. And they either figure out how to train, and that training is 5lbs at a time & are content with that reality, or they don’t...
There is ALWAYS time to watercut - you simply need to reverse engineer the cutoff timing from weighins. You just saw the test run; with this diet, I do it on a lesser scale every single weekend...
More I thought about you are right. Will work up to 405 to 425 only. Pulled 505 not to long ago so strength is definitely there for 506 at the meet. 10 days out take last warm up should do not harm.
years ago I was with a group that was doing tempo work with 2.5lb plates to warm up for bench. we were moving the 2.5's so slow you'd build an honest sweat doing it (flies, laterals, everything)...
Doing lots of things doesn’t have to mean spending lots of time - these are meant to be rolled through efficiently, with the purpose to be to prepare the body & break a sweat. Too many lifters are...
that and I think 225 bench the ones that always pop up into my feed. Its probably fairly accurate. I had to bust my ass to break 315, personally. just my own observation locally it seems like...
I saw a thing the other day on my social media feed, which probably means that it’s not actually true, but it said that only like 0.02% of the world‘s population will ever achieve a 315 squat...
Time to get back after It.

That is great work brother…..congrats on that 573 deadlift PR. And man you are really looking jacked, and you can definitely tell your waist has shrunk. That weight swing from 226 Saturday until...

Same diet and deficit that I usually do that results in poor sleep, except drinking low sugar Gatorades/Powerade Zero again and slept great. Crazy.
dude we're all over the map here. using my insurance I got my gym down from $45 to $25 but I just remembered my buddy used to pay $750. I was like wtf dude you're way too fat and weak to be...
Yeah you guys have some good gym prices, maybe because a lot of you have been grandfathered in or just have long term relationships. Around us, everything is brand new fancy gyms, so all monthly...
Coincidentally, you're very close to what 531 would have set you up for based on a 190lb 1RM. (btw, isn't 190 already pretty close to historical maxes for you? it seems like you haven't lost as...

Haha right, I think the conservative husband / liberal wife is a lot more common than most people think. Also, you know every once in a while I think they just seek out chaos and drama!
Agreed...

Thanks man I appreciate it. It's still the mental game to go in after all this time and keep pushing for something new but I remember a while back when Kleen was hitting 315 x 5 and it's always...
Nope! [emoji1787] Might haul dads old Kubota out here. I go back and forth between the effort of hauling his (1hr) vs renting ($650/weekend) vs buying a brand new one with trencher on it then...
