I just remind myself sometimes that showing up is the hardest part and that 9 days of discipline usually leads to that amazing session that blows the socks off anything else. Once the music is on...
“Modify, don’t miss.”
You did good. You were destined for a so-so session since you weren’t properly recovered, so you did exactly what you were capable of. You probably don’t need a full deload...
9/14
Had about a 16 hour work day on Sunday and a 9 hour work day today. Not much sleep or calories (did manage to get some protein in)
Know I’m tired when I take some amp citrate and can’t feel...
I’ve got a chalk bag coming. Will see how messy it is. Ideally I can just take it out into the yard and chalk up then walk back into the garage and hit it. I’ve been doing hex bar deads so it’s a...
FWIW if that lower back flares up or you feel inclined to get some more prehab type work on it you could do the RDL's with the KB's and DB's you have available.
Traveling for work and an all-day meeting plus work social / dinner after yesterday. No time for a workout due to my schedule. At least I slept half decent in the hotel last evening.
This AM's...
A prowler is like 90-100lbs empty; their sled was just a piece of thick sheetmetal. Empty prowler IS a heavy sled compared to how they used it for recovery and long drags.
Yeah I agree with all that. Between Jim's first book and the 531 Forever book Hyde sent me, I go back and forth with understanding some of Jim's thoughts. For instance as he gets into the "7th...
This was my thinking as well, what Hyde said. I would just start cycle 6 as prescribed, because you haven’t hit any road blocks. I understand what you were saying when you were trying to adjust...
I’m confused. In 5/3/1 you add 5lbs to your TMs for upper every successful cycle and 10 to lower. It has absolutely nothing to do with calculated 1RMs or rep maxes. Just 5/10lb progressions per...
Incline LISS
20 min
Bench
15 x bar
5 x 135
3 x 185, 215
1 x 245
1 x 275 paused 2 count
Notes
Upside to this approach is everything was taken with extreme confidence and I was really looking...
That makes more sense now.
Agree on the last block
410
300
335
180
Then from there if you have to cut back bench and OHP then ramp back up.
Definitely making huge progress man!
so this would be more like week 20-24 (I just finished week 3 of cycle 5, each cycle is 4 weeks... 3 training + 1 deload).
if I go on into cycle 6 (month 6) and am unable to hit my...
when I was 17-18 I carried around these fliers for property in eastern WA. you could get 20 acres with an A Frame cabin for $20k. those go for $500k-1m now. when I was 17-18 I wanted one so bad...
My Cycle 1 1RM numbers were
Dead 425
Bench 295
Squat 315
OHP 185
those were legit numbers not guess or calculators. As I get into week 6 it projects:
Dead 480
Bench 350 (LOL)
Squat 394 (not yet)...
I think those numbers would each be 4x here. I had an electrician quote me $8-10k to put power in my shed which is like 75ft from my house, but only if I did ALL of the trenching so all he had to...
Hard to put a real number to it but I’d say in the end yes. Just in the dirt work that easily would have been 4-8 grand, plumbing 1500-2000, form work 1500-2000, pour the actual finished slab...
long story short I was thinking a nice clean 275lb bench comp style for a single made a lot more sense than going for a TM single since that would technically be a PR and seems like way...
@Hyde I thought you had suggestions on taking a heavy single during deload rather than just going through the standard Wendler RX but I can't figure out who's thread we had that discussion in...
you're gonna be damn near bodybuilder at 198.
and yeah reminds me of college when I was at like the 2 year point or so when I'm way to deep to quit but there is zero light at the end of the...
