With what I know you value, it is no surprise to me that home life has improved. Not only does her not working save money in the obvious reasons, but you will find many other quality of life...
It's a change in priority, the good news is with the wife home, she can probably pick up the slack to pack for you and not even not notice it as a chore. My wife has taken over my packing just...
yeah I get that! at least its a reasonable flight from Houston, you still have the 1hr time change to contend with but travel kinda loses its novelty after a while. I used to love it and lately...
ha, yeah I felt very uncomfortable having my wife drive me to and pick me up at the airport. I'm used to having hard flight times and parking the car at one of the local lots, then taking a...
I would say that is an improvement all around. Also there should be no guilt or odd feeling if you look at the opportunity you are providing her, I am sure she wants to take things off your plate...
oh yeah I agree with all that, just doesn't feel very masculine having the wife do my pick up and drop off haha. you probably hit the nail on the head though with normally trying to be self...
You guys think the same thing on deadlifts too, then?
I was looking at what my programming is like if I shift my TM from 412 to 430 and it changes my top set this week to 5-10 reps at 365 vs 5-12...
Yes, I thought your upper body lifts were a little too close to your maxes, specifically bench.
What @Hyde says about bumping 20 on the next cycle makes sense to me.
This is where building...
When you up your TM this go around, instead of adding 10lbs to squat, add 20. Should be a good noticeable bump forward that also doesn’t pull the rug out from under you. Then you can always double...
man thats true. the biggest thing for me was her stress level, thats sorta why I brought that up in greenmachine's log. I haven't been stay home from work sick in 10 years, but I feel like my wife...
I'm starting to wonder if the answer could be somewhere in the middle. you pointed out earlier that maybe my upperbody lifts were too close to real maxes, or maybe your point was that I was sorta...
I'm wondering if I should test my squat 1RM to adjust numbers. Been doing some research and my app currently shows (for TM's):
squat 307.5
deadlift 412.5
bench 295.5
OHP 181.5
more research on...
Man, if you had near 15, do it... That is what the AMRAP is for. Nothing builds like a Widow Maker set of 20 on squats. It is the big hypertrophy push of Dogg Crap training that pushes the volume...
It’s a great product. Some day for science I want to man up and try it at a high high dose . Won’t be cheap though and I’m a little worried about injury since it’s so drying. Maybe with a decent...
Catching up in here, but stacking some PRs on bench and deads! Nice work up in here.
And I've stopped tracking macros too. Good reminder for me to at least ensure I'm hitting my protein goals again.
Thanks fellas. A little ego boost from the gym homies is always a good thing.
I do feel that pumped, post-WO and flexed (particularly most muscular) shows off my physique in the best way...
I don't remember the details but I think (I could be wrong so forgive me if I'm totally off base) that it was a little bit of a scam thing... like purdue with oxy. my understanding was that...
Okay gotcha. Yeah I can see the logic in that, however I have never once pulled out of a meet - it is a point of pride to make a showing, regardless of what I lift. That being said, I also really...
I meant pushing this one due to knowing it is going to be limited by the injury, taking the hit, backing off the orals, rescheduling for the next one that fits in a good timeframe for the goal...
