    I'm sorry to hear that things have been so tough for you. You said: On another note I have let fitness absolutely consume my life rather than add to it. My time off has helped me realize that...

    Well gentlemen I turned 62 today. Today was mine and my middle son’s birthday. My oldest son’s birthday is tomorrow, and we’re going to have a cookout and celebrate Saturday. So I turned 62 today...

    All good stuff…. I would much rather start lighter and slowly progress to hit my goals than to let ego push me into starting heavy, thinking it’s more impressive, but a much higher risk of injury...

    It is to me at least. I mean the triple with 452 this morning was fast & easy because I am all gassed up on gear & using the super-stiff knee sleeves, but aside from 6-8 weeks out of a contest...

    I actually think this is something I experience when I travel and find a gym I'm not used to. Particularly this time around, since everything was in kgs I probably went more conservative - but...

    Hell that would have pissed me off if I was just on my TRT dose! Good to know that it’s treating you well thus far.

    Well, 20mg does something for aggression. The bridge was closed a block or two before the gym this morning, so I had to park my car and walk through their construction site over the creek with all...

    Some random AAS tidbits: I dropped Tbol for the 4 days I was gone & just took 50mg Var solo instead. This was to give my gut a little break before the final 2 week push. Switched back to 40 Tbol &...

    I'm not 100% sure what keeps me motivated on the meat bird thing. we don't have enough space really to run cattle, but mom and dad do that anyways. There is something about growing your own meat...

    That makes a lot of sense. for fun, I just applied the same thing at 265/.95 = 278TM. so 278/.90 puts me at 309. I had went the default method. I think I started with a 295 true max (vs 305 PR)...

    Jim has even said the lighter you can set your TM, the better, especially for more advanced or experienced lifters. He has seen tremendous success running TMs on squat as low as 75% of competition...

    Awesome work, and yes people don’t understand that aspect of 5/3/1 (or training in general). They think if they run higher weights in training that will make them stronger faster, instead of...

    does it seem like the shoulder is more bothered by the overhead work than the bench work? really glad to see you throwing down spottos, I do think I need to either incorporate those or pause work...

    Well I wasn’t supposed to pause it, but I had come down fast and sat into my right hip more on 507, which I did not want to happen again. So I lowered 518 slower and really made sure to sit evenly...
