    I obviously still have a lot of clean up there to do. The hardware cloth will go under the deck to keep dogs and bunnies out of the garden. And I have the diy irrigation hose out there sunbathing...

    Man it's so true. It's great when we are on the same page but I've really "missed" her this past week. I told her today the chaos we've created is definitely a two person job to maintain lol. It's...

    Not that important. Somewhere between 3-12 reps has all worked well for me depending if I’m focusing more on strength or volume with them. Get the pause pretty close to chest, 1-2” tops. The...

    That’s a good kind of tiredness….it’s always rewarding to get a lot accomplished around the house. Hopefully your wife will start feeling better. There’s no doubt that when you’re married you are...

    Saturday: I'm wrekt. Hamstrings are in a severe state of DOMs [emoji23][emoji23] Honestly not even doing that much. Got up early to mow the lawn cause we are gonna turn part of it into a small...

    If you start feeling some strain in your shoulders going wide on flat bench, use something like the red shoulder saver pad from EliteFTS or a bench block. It will give you the equivalent of a 1 or...

    Hey guys, I’ll try to restart this some time soon. It’s been very difficult recently, I had to go on leave for work because my anxiety got very severe. I’ve been throwing up because I’m so...

    That’s a perfect breakfast to break a fast. 8 lbs in 64 hours is impressive, those carbs should hit the spot. Glad the little guy isn’t in as much pain as before, he is definitely a tough one.💪😎

    Woke at 241.2 yesterday then 236.8 today, from 244.0 Wednesday. Broke my fast at 64 hours. Carb up today, possibly into tomorrow. Breakfast was ~160g carbs, including 13g fiber. Greek yogurt &...

    That’s what it is. I don’t enjoy squat or leg training, it’s hard & scary & makes me anxious before kicking my ass. But to actually PR your squat, is beautiful because of the difficulty and fear...

    dude thats so funny, 100% do love deadlifts more than squats for whatever reason, I love picking up something very heavy just because I can, but I gotta say I might be with Hyde. there is...

    All is well brother!! Need to catch up in your log but did catch and see little man is healed up and going. Squat PR is great but I’m gunning for that deadlift PR 💪🏻💪🏻

    Good to hear things are going busy but well for you - congratulations on the squat PR! Those are my absolute favorites.

    I’ll get a picture of the big one today, it’s all enclosed, need to finish the top though. Same to many predators to leave them unprotected
  • gphagan1
    I second that on the wide grip bench, especially Swede Burns style.
  • gphagan1
    That advice was specifically for Cro, since he feels pecs are a weakness for his flat bench based on lack of hypertrophy, and he’s already developed his incline press. Not to say anyone ever...

    Il give the light wide grip press a go. I'm big on flys too. Flys are always 2nd or 3rd in any of my chest or push routines. I've been doing tons of pushups lately too. I never write them down...

    It's not really a 100lb increase. In the past I've done 335x3, 345x2, 370x1. I've done 375 (170kg) in the gym. 325 isint my current max but it's the heaviest I've gone in years. I can probably...

    I agree, if someone hasn't tried it already I'm definitely not going to lol. I was looking to see if it's already been done. Sometimes I'll have like a million bottles on hand though because I...

    180 is actually only 396lbs. To bench 405lbs, you must do 184kg. Don’t sleep on flies, or light Widegrip benchpress for sets of 8-12 reps (leave a few reps in the tank too). About 2 fingers wider...

    I wouldn't risk it and would just get more BAC because of how fragile those peptides are.

    Man, I’m so sorry….poor little guy. Glad it didn’t snap completely, but the Doctors should have been more cautious in their advice, especially as young as he is. And they wonder why we question...

    Thank you guys! Pain is not bad at all, just some acetaminophen to control it without disturbing the initial healing response. Seems better than last time. He is a tough kid though too honestly...
