3-5lb swings weekly should be pretty normal I think just off hydration alone, how full your guts are etc but you've trended well for like 2 years now. slow and steady is definitely proving that...
amen to that. I don't think people understand how much work your abs can put in when pressing hard with all their might against the belt in a heavy pull or squat. I can walk away from heavy deads...
That’s something the owner of the barbell club told me that made a ton of sense. And he has coached a TON of college students, so not injury prone and generally newer to powerlifting. Skill...
for me its definitely the 2nd half of the lift is the strongest. when I am at top end weight what I do for the bottom 10% of the lift fully dictates whether I will have success or not, even if the...
If your bench is fairly slow, some speed work can for a month on secondary day can help you regain the speed necessary to make it through the transition.
Otherwise something like Spoto’s or Pin...

we use claude almost entirely at home (my wife and I) to keep track of homestead stuff (plant dates, germination, lbs fed etc).
she did the same thing as you and Claude replied and said "oh I...
I'd like to jump on this to hear your thoughts as well since you're coaching today. for me its going to be about the half way point if I'm going to fail a big lift. far enough off the chest to...
It depends. I use Mast in a lot of my blasts because it does act like a SERM, but it’s going to depend on the total estrogen load. Like 300mg of deca with very low testosterone isn’t going to be...
That is a nice way to lay it all out that makes the simplicity of it so attractive too. Also much better information than just a daily average. Thanks for expanding, I didn't want to ask you to...
I'm glad to see you say that, I am the same way and sometimes feel silly putting it on before I need it. but I figure it gives me maybe that 1mm of stretch in the leather, and lets body adjust to...
Out of prep, I tend to put them on before I even squat the bar, or within a plate or two certainly even in summer.
If it’s warm out in prep, I will try to go without them so I don’t have to...
you didnt' ask me, Seg but i'll pipe in anyways. I put my sleeves on before I put my pants on in the locker room. they stay on until my leg pump forces me to strip them down to the ankles or get...
Competed under 220 for first time in 3.5 years. Got my first 600lb raw squat and pull under 220. Successfully hit 600/352/606 on SBD for a 1,559lb total & 438 DOTS score - my best total ever by...
Thats impressive if that was just an “cheat day”, or did you do a weight in for a competition?
10lb is my PR for a cheat day and 23lb for a weight in/rehydration day.
Specifically with my diet as it’s been, I don’t think a caloric daily average is useful - the significant calorie cycling is a huge component, and I very much believe the Saturday shitloading...
Boy that was a TLDR.
I cycle the meat fats and eat 225-275g protein Mon-Friday.
Weekends I make sure to get 180g protein in and eat what I want, with a prominent focus on carbs.
Fasted the last 2 days to cut a little fat while I’m deloading anyway.
ART doc around 1pm, then I’ll probably start eating keto around 2pm. Should be 63 hours at least.
Well what I described is what I’d do at a commercial gym, not what you saw at the meet - you cannot train for real with necessary poundages for you without being able to set up properly & tight...
