Anything for $10/month is a good deal in 2026, and I mean that genuinely. It’s hard to find a daypass for that price anymore. -
gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Oh yeah $10 is a great price. Yeah when he bought the gym, 8 years ago it had a lot of older wore out equipment, and the setup was horrible. So he started fixing equipment, getting rid of bad...

It is funny when I see how many HS machines I am lucky enough to have access to in in my commercial gym. I think the only back machine we don't have is the low row, and we have all of the pressing...

I think for what you have going on the idea of just keep doing what you are doing but add in a 36hour fast once every 7-14 days and you will be able to stay right in the money area.

Great news! I am going for my MRI tomorrow at 1:00PM, my boss is letting me work from home tomorrow so I can be closer to the facility and miss less work, so that is a plus. I am happy to be... -
this is a fun one, we have it in grey lol. I do really like this one

hey I'm looking forward to the day where 405 doesn't feel like its crushing my spine lol. getting closer....

.Squats are my weak link and would be nice after 3 years to have another break through.
-
Thanks all!! Just need to have a good lifting day at the meet and hopefully some PRs fall.
-
ONE bars are definitely good in a pinch and usually pretty easy to find while traveling.
-
maybe! yesterday I was reminded of the skill required to manhandle heavy OHP, not just the strength. I had lost my balance or breath (or both?) on rep 5 again, brought it back to the bottom...

Congrats on that bench PR, things are getting exciting!
-
My argument would be that you are part of the way there and while some refeeding and some rest is going to be well earned …. We are only getting older and if it’s obtainable it’s going to be...

Are we voting. If so after you exceed your own expectations at this meet I vote for a halotestin fueled run at 1600lbs at 198 😂
-
Some great advice here, I agree with Hyde that if you are okay with the first 4 things, then just do it for the fun, and motivation. It will be a good experience, and might be just what you need...
-
Yeah, I was going to say, if you are wanting to clean up, LISS would be the only form of cardio I would consider during a deload, and even then very laid back if not part of your normal work. Now...

Congrats man, it looks like you are set up for a good meet!
-
You are going to like this one for sure.
-
Jim has talked about this and I know you know this in your heart as well: the deload is not time to make training harder in any way. Otherwise you don’t shed fatigue sufficiently to warrant the...
-
Glad you got to have the squats you were hoping for! And put a great bench behind it too; looking good for meet day.

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.This is the flat bench…. I want to see how this feels after doing 5/3/1 bench Monday. Just laying on it before leaving today, just to see how the handles felt, it seems like it should spare the...

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Yeah I think the Hammer Strength plate loaded machines have become my favorite. Our gym now has the HS high row, shoulder press, dips, incline, decline, and the two newest are that mid row and...
-
The hammer strength stuff is what I miss most about going to a gym. Some of my home setup gives the same feel but that machine , the incline press and the military press in particular are my...

Do you want to change your training right now? Are you excited by the idea to train for strength the next 2.5 months? Would you be okay with a total well below your best ever numbers, since you...
-
Also, as of this week bumped Tren E from 40 to 50mg for the final 4 weeks. May not be much, but still a 25% increase - plus the addition of 40mg Tbol is objectively working. I realized all my...
-
Well, I’ve taken exactly 10mg Halo total in my entire life (added it Tuesday before maxing bench), so I don’t exactly know how I respond to it yet. BUT I can say 1600@198 would indeed be a great...
