There certainly could be - some places are generally hotter beds for performance than others. The Midwest, Texas, pockets up down the East, South East, & West Coast. I mean there are strong people...
we did for a couple days last week, nasty enough that you could feel it in your lungs when we were bucking hay. but most of the smoke we had came in from BC. the fires are raging on the east side...

I’d take those temps though we have been 99-105 for quite a spell so I’m ready for low 90’s 😂
You getting the smoke bad your way? We have noticed it a few times but nothing real crazy
Sights set on the finish line! With how you've been progressing, this should be a good meet!
I'm going to need to take some pointers as I work up to my first "meet" attempt.
That’s what I like. Keep the groove greased but it’s just practice that’s heavy enough to transfer, not work - it’s just technical practice while you’re resting up.
Yeah, hoping this is the case. This quick meeting prep will tell me very quickly! [emoji38] Let's see if my old @ss has any gas left in the tank.
Squat Day
Full warm up routine

Hey man! Getting caught back up! I highly doubt you have lost strength, a few training blocks to get back in the groove and I bet you will be surprised on how quick it comes back and maybe even...
Pre-workout meal is Turkey, cheddar, and spinach on a sun-dried tomato wrap with hummus and stone ground mustard. Greek yogurt with a high protein granola, half a banana and a drizzle of honey...
Because of where the competition is being held I have a feeling there's going to be some really strong people there. I honestly probably won't be going to the November one, but I'm training for it...
215-220 thereabouts. So yeah, not too bad here about a 15% drop off on the top. But it's squats and deads that have really had little or no programming during my hypertrophy mesos, so that's where...
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...
