I am hoping and thinking the same thing. A little more intentional focus on strength without excess volume at a reasonable caloric intake could yield some pretty decent results. I do feel like... -

Especially since you don't have to be in a major surplus to gain strength. You can do a 200-300 surplus and make plenty of strength gains. Heck from here maintenance will feel supercharged and...

Yeah, that is what I am thinking about. I could probably pay double and get the rhebands and never have to replace them. The rhebands initially look the same price until you notice they sell them... -
gphagan1 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..Man it’s great to see you keeping the momentum going. You’re definitely doing it the smart way. Slow steady progression is still progression, and will really go a long way in the healing and...

I was looking at them. Not a bad price at all. At this level probably about the right thing for me. I read something about possible issues with the threads / seams coming apart after a while but...

I like the gym reaper brand overall, its fun. My boy and I have some stuff like their wrist wraps etc. I see they have 7mm sleeves now, I have no idea how they hold up but the price looks...

I just got a pair of the gym reaper sleeves off Amazon a month or two ago, and those have been a good investment for keeping my bum ass knees feeling better on leg days. Don't think they were...

No, they didn't hurt my neck at all, felt great actually. My thoracic spot feels it a little something, but more of a hey that got worked than a hey I did something I shouldn't have. So not...

This is how I was taught to do them and at first it seemed like a lower ROM but over time I grew to love it. they're sorta like pull-ups to me in that they fade fast if I don't do them, but come...

Another day in the books. I was humbled at my effort on legs yesterday, but that is to be expected. More importantly, I got in there and did enough work to test things and get some stimulation...

Agreed, and it is only worth mentioning, not a serious consideration other than I just need to get it moving again. I am almost positive that just the basic light work I am doing as I recover will...

Yessir! I do believe things in my neck are starting to move. I did a light push session Saturday in the garage, then Sunday a light pull session when I got to the hotel Sunday evening, and then...

almost snagged some pics last night but too many dudes hangin' brain in the locker room and forgot by the time I got home, lol. thats always something I mildly regret later in a cut, not having...

Congrats man, lets see a progress pic, this is the lowest you have been in a while right?

Glad you caught your back before it became a real issue. I used to do cheat curls to push a set, but once the studies came about regarding the stretched position and hypertrophy I don't get into...

Good to hear about lil man's progress, and your mechanic sounds like a real G! OMG, I am happy my daughter wasn't there for puppies, she has been bugging for one. LOL

I am sorry you are sick. Honestly considering how stressed you seem I don't really think piling on some supplements is going to fix what look like some more baseline conditions and issues. You...

Thanks brother. Feeling pretty good generally about where I'm landing physique-wise. Could always be bigger and leaner, but that's for another day! In any case, 37 mins of cardio on the bike...

You just benched 302/308, so with that 2 weeks before the next meet there’s not a lot of reason to take a bench that heavy while you should be recovering. 280 is 90% of 312 - I’d say if you...
