Yep that's exactly how I feel. I'm actually contemplating putting all of my chest and shoulder work into absolute maintenance mode so it can let my shoulders recover and I can use that extra... -
We are doing the same thing, just at different levels in the game. It's either "This is okay to push today so LFG!!!" or "This ain't ready, go easy, find something else or take a day off..."

As much as I can, I'm definitely skipping things on days that I'm hurting but overall I'm getting a decent amount done. Like today would be a full body with heavy bench but I'm taking a few extra...

Agreed, and if tempted to do something that will make you feel good or gain you some positive attention is not bad either. Do what you enjoy people who think it is douchy or react negatively to...

Hate to hear about the snag, but at least you made out without a tear or something. Recover and live to lift another day! -
gphagan1 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..You’re like me brother….the hard work is what’s fun, mentally satisfying as well as physically. I think it makes sense, because you have found your parameters of your injuries and how you can...

What is funny is I got on here to give an status update and got distracted. The last week and a half I have been pushing things harder anywhere I can. I decided what I love is the hard work, the...

Somewild times man! Pretty sure my parents still have a tub full of readers digests. I don’t know why but when I think of readers digest I can still hear Paul Harvey on the radio, “and now you...

That sounds like a god time. I am super impressed how well the new lead singer of Alice in Chains sounds, he is damn near perfect for it.

So squats, then about 2 miles walking down town. Got to show about 6:45, no sitting. Doors at 7, music at 8 sharp. Last song at 12 midnight. It was four hours of non stop Layne Staley songs from a...

gphagan1 replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.Man sorry to hear about the back strain in warmups. But great job sucking it up and still finishing strong. You still put up respectable numbers in spite of the injury. 💪😎👍

Thanks. Woke up with left side hurting so going to wait a little before I sign up for October meet. Still think in a few days will be a lot better.

Dang, stinks you took a ding right off the bat in warmups - sounds like you actually did peak well, just had the back aggravation & couldn’t display what you are capable of. That’s a strong...

August 22nd, 2026 (Saturday) Meet Recap Meet ended up being my worst meet based on last heavy's hands down. Started out with my 1st warm up of squats will 135lbs and felt a pain in my left lower...

You've got this man, kick some ass! Wow, that deadlift will be cool to witness in person.

Thanks all. Excited I get to cheat some on my diet next couple days before I get back on track. My openers will be: Squats: 363 Bench: 275 Deads: 451 Will go from there and see what happens.

Just weighed and checked in. This meet/ fed is a lot different. No equipment check, it is honor system. If they suspect you will call you over and dq you for the meet if it does not meet...

You got this brother. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. So much of performance in anything is mental. So quell that negative voice and go hit some strong numbers!

An occasional hard push feels like it's clearing all the crud out of your system. I think if I'm careful with it, a slightly improved conditioning could help with my strength training but gotta be...

Sounds like things are going awesome for you right now. It is always great when you have those periods where everything is kind of clicking.

Glad to hear it! I do 90% of anything in public in tank tops in the summer, because it’s hot out 🥵 When you have muscles, you just run hotter so you need to. That’s what you call ‘wide privilege’ 😝
